Property was nice. However, beds felt like cardboard boxes, furniture extremely uncomfortable and no tv in master. It would have been nice to relax and watch tv in bed, because furniture was awful to set on.

Quiet Bear is a beautiful restful place. Our favorite part was the amazing screened in deck/porch and hot tub. We loved the private location and being right next to the river.

Quiet Bear should be named Deer Haven as we had several deer come right up almost to our door to munch on acorns. This home is a peaceful little place to take a quick weekend trip to relax. Loved the covered parking and the screened in porch over looking the river. Hot tub is really nice and feels private. The king size bed wasnt really comfy and we didnt care for the flannel sheets so we moved to the twins they were much better. We grilled and cooked in every night, you have all the utensils & pots/pans you need to prepare a meal. Would have liked tv in the bedroom just our personal opinion. Emmye was quick to respond.

We were three senior ladies who absolutely loved it! From the covered carport to load/unload out of the rain, was great! All the way to the fabulous screened deck complete with hot tub, dining table/4chairs and a built in bar with 4 stools all overlooking the river! Nice fire pit and separate gas grilling area with seating! All on one level!! Comfy beds and shower/tub, tons of closet space! Kitchen was furnished the best I have ever seen in any rental! 100% would go back!
