Highly recommend. This place is super cute, and close to all the attractions! We had enough room and even plenty to spare. The hosts were very communicative. I would stay here again..

Me and my family had a great at the cabin. My daughter loved looking at all the bear decor and running around on the porch. We would recommend this place to others 10/10.

Don’t hesitate to book! My family so welcomed and at home here. Everything was spotless. We had more than enough supplies provided. It was so peaceful to sit on the porch with a cup of coffee. It was a great setup for the dogs as well!

If I could give Michelle and Tim 15 stars, I’d easily do it!! This was by far my favorite Airbnb that I’ve ever stayed!! They made the place feel absolutely welcoming with a personalized sign welcoming us on the front porch to mints on our pillows and a few other sweet surprises left for us. The cabin itself was adorable with lots of Black Bear and Coca-Cola decorations. We got in early morning and my daughter and her friend were exhausted from a long day of driving but still explored the entire house looking at all the cute decorative details before they’d go to bed. We discovered the next morning that the outside was just as nice with the stream right across the street. Very private and relaxing!! Michelle and Tim were very responsive and friendly. We plan on returning to the area I. The future for a longer stay and will definitely try to stay here again! Highly recommend!! A+++++ 15 out of 5 stars

Our stay for our son's birthday couldn't have gone better! Michelle and Tim were extremely helpful and very communicative. The house was spotless and very welcoming. We loved how peaceful it was and how welcomed we felt! Michelle and Tim left us drinks, snacks, and a sweet message coming in. I would recommend this place to everyone, and hope to come back again! Thank you for everything!

We loved our stay. the fenced in area was perfect for allowing our pet to run and exercise. Our host made us feel so welcome even had a personalized sign welcoming us. the home was extremely quiet we saw wild life and lots of fireflies. We can't wait to visit here again.

5 stars are not enough for Thirsty Bear Ranch! The cabin is much larger than it looks in photos. Cabin was super tidy, clean and made you feel at home from the moment you step onto the front porch. our dog, Maverick had a great time exploring around the cabin. Love all the Coca-Cola and black bear accents/decor. They even stock the place with all necessities and even more! The mints on pillows was a great touch! Looking forward to coming back already!!! Also, location is amazing as you are away from the hustle and bustle of the main parkway in PF; however still close to everything. Thank you Michelle and Tim for a great place to spend my husband's birthday!

WOW! My family and I were so spoiled during this stay, I'm not sure we can stay anywhere else without comparing it to our time at the Thirsty Bear. We felt so at home in this beautiful little cabin. Before we even stepped in the home, we were met with the warmest of welcomes, and after entering we enjoyed exploring the home with all the iconic decorations. Every inch of the house was spotless and the hosts - Michelle and Tim - were so genuinely kind and thoughtful. With each and every detail, they made this cabin feel like home. We can't wait for our next stay! ❤

We absolutely loved staying here for our weekend away!! It was such a cozy place with beautiful views. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee on the front porch because this is something we can’t do at our home. We brought our 2 big dogs who also loved all the cabin had to offer. Michelle & Tim were the best hosts and their place had everything we needed and more! If we are ever back in the area, we would definitely love to stay here again! 😊
