Rooms 6 & 7 are also on the 2nd floor of the lodge. These two private rooms are much like rooms 8 & 9 on the third floor, offering the same luxurious and serene retreat for travelers🛏️. The difference between these two rooms and the two rooms above them is that they have private doors allowing guests access to breathtaking views from the second-floor deck🌲🌲.

The Handmade Lodgepole beds in these rooms provide a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for winding down after a day of exploring the nearby surroundings. These rooms have been tastefully decorated with mountain-themed art, wardrobes, and the same en suite setup as the private rooms upstairs. You'll feel right at home🏡 in these charming and cozy bedrooms.

To the right of the entrance, you will find room 3, our versatile bunk room with two queen-sized bunk beds and three extra-long twin-sized bunk beds🛏️. That is room for up to 14 to sleep comfortably. Bedroom 4 is off the entrance of the bunk room and contains three double beds and will sleep an additional six people comfortably🛏️. It is a perfect room for a family with small children or any way you see fit. At the back of the bunk room is a large, shared bathroom with a long trough sink, two faucets, a long, sharable mirror, a large walk-in shower, and plenty of space. We have added a wall of hooks behind the door in the bunk room and even more hooks on the ends of the bunk beds for everyone's towels. There are luggage racks and laundry baskets to make this space more functional.

Amazing home for group travel
Words fail to express how extraordinary this house is. Bear and Lisa were awesome hosts and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. Our group of 28 had a wonderful time in the Bear Den and Cub House. Close enough to the park and West Yellowstone for great day trips. Remote enough to feel like we were away from it all.

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home, and many activities were nearby (raft, UTV, etc.). It's only 30 mins from YNP West Entrance. The host was responsive to all our questions regarding the property. Excellent place for kids to hang out - lots of bunk beds, and every room has its own bathroom. The kitchen has all the essentials and much more items.

Best VRBO Ever
We flew home and haven’t begun to unpack our bags. However, we’ve been unpacking memories from Idaho to Atlanta. There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to adequately describe this beautifully appointed home or the wonderful caring and attentive hosts. We’ve stayed in many VBRO homes, but this was largest with9 bedrooms, 7 baths beautifully artwork. The kitchen had everything from huge Instapot, every size of pot and pan imaginable, 2 refrigerators and even a Bosche dishwasher. And, I forgot to mention 2 huge clothes washers and dryers. Lisa and Bear were excellent hosts and even brought us warm, out of the oven, coffee cake! They responded to questions within minutes and had great suggestions for daily sightseeing. We would go back in a heart beat and anyone looking for a great place to vacation should check it out. They also have The Cub House on the same property.

Spectacular Cabin!
This amazing property that has been perfectly renovated and is sparkling clean! It is apparent that our incredible hosts, Lisa and Bear, have put their heart and souls into this property and have thought of everything including high quality linens, towels and a well-stocked kitchen. We loved sitting on the porch and enjoying the amazing views, gathering for meals at the beautiful dining table, and hanging out in the evening around the fire pit. We had a wonderful stay and will be back! I highly recommend The Bear Den!!!

Great Family Reunion
We couldn't have chosen a better place to have our 2021 Family Reunion! The weather in Island Park was very cold and raining . We were happy to see the cabin was large enough to hold everyone and all adults had their own bedroom and bath plus all the youth and children had beds and had a great time together! We loved the long table where we could eat together and play several different board games and still be together! The pool table was great for the youth but also several of the adults! The play set out back was enjoyed by our little ones! The kitchen was well supplied. We would definitely rent this property again!

The property is absolutely beautiful with views of the mountains in the distance. The home is gorgeous and very well-maintained and updated. Randy and Lisa were great at helping us if needed and to answer questions. It was large enough to house our 30+ with room to spare! Definitely a place we would return to time and again. Close to west entrance of Yellowstone.

Family Reunion
We had a great time at this property. There were some minor glitches here and there but communication with Lisa was great and things were taken care of very quickly. We played games, ate lots of food, had s'mores at the fire bowl and did lots of family competitions of baseball and cornhole. Had a great time. Our only major glitch was that when we made our reservation, it included the building out back that had 2 more bedrooms. We received word in May that those bedrooms were no longer part of the rental but by then it was too late to relocate. We had plenty of beds (even had extras) but the loss of the bedrooms meant that a couple of our adult children had to bunk in the same room. It wasn't a huge issue but it was an issue due to lack of personal privacy. It would have been nice to have received some compensation for that change in the venue. Other than that, we highly recommend this location and would say that Randy and Lisa were great hosts.

Perfect for a Large Group
We have a large group that gathers for New Years every year and we have finally found a house that we all agree we'd stay in again! It wasn't the most luxurious place we've stayed, but the layout and location are perfect. The kitchen has every possible appliance, plenty of dishes for a large group and tons of seating. The numerous bathrooms were a HUGE hit and every room was well furnished. We also loved the large entryway with tons of benches and hooks and an extra refridge. The linens could be updated and the kitchen could have been cleaner, but those weren't deal-breakers. We'd definitely stay here again.
