From the patio or balcony of the Cottage, you can listen to the sound of the creek and the multitude of birds living there. You may also see deer, elk, moose, fox, mink and the occasional bear wandering through the property. Guests are welcome to explore the property, which includes the creek, forest, ponds, and walking trails. They may also enjoy a fire by the creek or a wood-burning fireplace inside on cooler evenings.

Grizzly Bear Cottage is only used as a guest house. It is completely furnished with all linens for sleeping and bathing and utensils, glassware and dishes for cooking and entertaining up to 8 guests.
