I wish I could give this place zero stars. My stay at Fox N Bear Cottages was beyond disappointing. First off, the listing mentioned a fireplace and a microwave, yet there was no fireplace and no microwave. When I brought up these issues to the front desk, the staff was rude and completely unhelpful, acting like I was bothering them just for expecting what was advertised. To make matters worse, there were no blankets—just thin sheets on the bed. It was freezing at night, and the only heater in the cabin smelled like it was burning, so I couldn’t even use it safely. On top of that, the remote for the TV was missing, so I had to download an app just to use it. But somehow, someone else’s remote kept connecting to our TV, causing it to change channels, turn off randomly, and adjust the volume on its own—extremely frustrating. Overall, this stay was a nightmare. Between the false advertising, terrible customer service, and lack of basic amenities, I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the trouble and book somewhere else!

No heat not clean

The cabin was not clean. We wanted to light a fire, but the fireplace was full of soot. All the furniture was run down and handles missing from drawers. There was dust on the tv ad the ceiling fans and mold in the bathroom. The bathroom tub did not drain. The wifi was horrible and kept going out. The heater did not work in the unit. It was 29 degrees that night. The dinky space heaters dod nothing, could not feel the heat. Cabin #2. The unit next to was was attached and they were partying and drinking until 2am. I would not recommend this property again. It needs a re-model and cabin #2 needs attention to detail with cleaning.

The cabin was clean but smelled. Fireplace chimney needs to be sweeped. Build up in chimney forced some smoke into cabin. Managers cabin not labeled well. When I called the number on website no one answered..only a voice message that said the cabins were closed due to a fire! Emailed owner and they never replied. Had a last minute urgent meeting and manager called owner to authorize cancelation of 2nd night. Owner punted to Expedia. He agreed but Expedia website said no refunds. Two ships passing in the night. I was screwed out of 2nd night. Emailed owner via Expedia and they ignored me. I do not recommend this locale.

We found this property at a great price after looking around expedia. Read some reviews and thought they were ok, maybe a bit mixed. Finidng the place was pretty simple. Checking in was interesting. I walked around the cottages to find the "office". On the door was a number for 24/7 check in. I called it and the lady answered and asked if i was here. She opened the door and told us to come inside. I assume that was her living space/office. We walked in and it was a bit weird being in there, but whatever. She gave us the wifi password and the room door combo. Parking was nice and easy as there were spots designated for everyone. #2 was our cottage. Inside the room smelled like smoke due to the fireplace. After making a fire ourselves both nights, smoke filled the room(yes the port was open inside the fireplace), so the chiminey probably wasnt cleaned out on the inside and the windows had to be opened to help ventilate. The room was clean overall and very cozy. No worries about being cold overnight. The bed was super comfy as well as the couch. The lady brought us extra towels as well. There was a hair dryer, towels and shampoos. All the kitchen appliances and utencils as well as plates and cups were a plus. We had to clean some forks and cups as they were still a bit dirty. There was also leftover ice cream in the freezer from a stay before. The tv channels were plentiful as there were lots of free app options and movies. She hung up on me during check out, so we left at 1030.
