"We absolutely loved this little pocket of heaven. Perfect sized house for three people. So clean and minutes away from St Elmo strip. After long days spent in downtown Chatt, walking, hiking and exploring, we looked forward to coming back to this oasis and recharging. I miss it already and we are already looking at future dates when we can return! The owners were very quick to respond and super sweet. All to say, you should stay here :)"

"My husband, 2 year old, and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in the Wheland Wing at the Bear House! The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. The beds and linens were comfortable. The beds are high, so if you have a little one, consider bringing bumpers—ours slept on a toddler bed that we brought because she is not sleeping in a bed at home yet.
