After looking through numerous cabins on the website I made direct contact by phone as I was looking for some very specific amenities. I spoke with Angie, and she was extremely friendly and very helpful. Then Angie sent me links to several cabins, and I was able to pick the one that fit my needs. After that the process of booking, payment, check-in, and check-out was extremely easy and convenient. We found the cabin just as described and very happy with our stay.

Everything went smoothly, there were no issues with our cabin rental. Check in and check out are easy and quick. The cabin was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. My only critique would be that certain important details of the contract need to be more upfront. When the full amount was due, basic cancellation details, etc. But that is minor, Overall we were thrilled with everything! Would definitely do it again!

Everything was great with the exception of the hot tub seemed to be way over treated. When we first got in we could not stop coughing and we had a degree of itchiness afterwards. We also turned off the jets which seemed to help some. Not sure if it gets tested or not but it was super strong. That would be our only negative as everything else was perfect! Thank you!

Amazing easy experience. Recommendations from staff on choosing the cabin made it easy with exactly what we were looking for. No Contact check in made it easy once we arrived in town to just enter the cabin, relax, and begin our weekend. Everything about the cabin was comfortable and exceptionally clean. Only problem we had was that unfortunately we needed to leave the cabin to drive into town for charcoal and empty the grill before use. Everything else we needed was provided for a perfect weekend. Very clean and the bed was very comfortable. (My 2 biggest concerns generally staying anywhere but home )

The only problem I had was with express check in. I had to send my drivers license twice, and still was told that Timber Tops needed it when I tried to express check in. I assume this is a covid related problem since your office is closed.

We loved our entire trip! We had a hard time choosing a cabin, but once we did, we were very pleased with Life's a Bear. We received adequate instructions for what to bring with us and how to access the cabin. It was gorgeous, clean, and had beautiful views from both decks. Everything was in working order. Check in / check out were a breeze. We stayed pretty close to the cabin (due to COVID) and we didn't mind a bit!

The cabin was wonderful even though we made our reservations at a late date for the season. We were inviting family for Thanksgiving and it was a very inviting cabin with barbecue pit and what a wonderful surprise for everyone to see it beautifully decorated for Christmas. The only difficulty is in making and sending copy after copy of my drivers license and credit card when making, signing and checking on the reservation, especially when I have reserved cabins many times before with Timber Tops.

Check in was a breeze. The agent (Amanda?) was very friendly and helpful. We called mid stay to see about places that deliver to the cabin and the agent was very helpful. In the Life's a Bear cabin, everything was great. We did want to let you know that the spiral stair case was VERY wobbly and scary! When you stood on the top landing, it sagged a few inches. The top deck under the hot tub also sagged a bit (the water level was higher towards the front of the deck). Overall great stay! Bed was amazing and so comfortable. LOVED how many pillows there were.
