Papa Bear's Den was a perfect place for my husband and I to stay with our son and daughter in law. Plenty of space, comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and linens, great TVs and even outdoor areas to cook and visit. We loved sitting in the backyard listening to the river.
Gary was a very responsive and friendly host and went out if his way to make our stay nice. He's put a lot of love and care into the house and it shows. I especially appreciate him not being stingy with things like TP, trash bags, dish soap, etc. It was so refreshing to not have to worry about those little conveniences.
If you're interested in history, you can walk to the Hatfield Mccoy Museum or to the cemetery Devil Anse is buried in (it is a little hike uphill to the cemetery).
If you're into trail riding, this is the perfect location. If you don't mind trailering, Cabwaylingo and Warrior (we parked in Welsh) trails are an hour away. Buffalo and Devil Anse trail heads are less than 30 mins away. All of those trails are easy enough for new riders. If you're a slightly more advanced rider, you can pick up Rock House and Devil Anse blue trails (slightly harder) just 5 minutes away from the house.
The house has plenty of room for parking which we've found is very rare in this area. Our Ram Megacab and 32 ft trailer fit just fine with room to spare.
Overall, this was a great stay. We highly recommend to anyone...especially those wanting to visit the Hatfield Mccoy Trails. Can't wait to come back!
