Piège à ours dans les Glades

Summary:

Escape to Bear Trap in the Glades, a charming three-level mountain retreat perfect for families and small groups of up to 5 guests. Relax in the private hot tub, unwind in the cozy living spaces, and enjoy the peaceful mountain setting.



The home features a King bedroom suite upstairs with private hot tub access, plus a Queen bedroom with a pull-out Twin bed downstairs, providing comfortable sleeping arrangements for your group.



★★Perfect for Large Groups or Families Traveling Together★★

This cabin has an adjacent property that may also be available to book. An ideal setup for large families or groups looking to stay close without sharing one large cabin. The backyards of both cabins are connected, allowing guests to easily walk from one to the other. It’s an ideal setup for those who want to stay close together while still enjoying their own space and privacy.
