Fodor's Expert Review Bear Creek Lodge

This lodge is comprised of eight cabins either situated creekside or around a pond. Each has a wood stove and an electric heater. Interior walls are chinked logs, beds have colorful quilts, and the lighting fixtures are modeled after gold rush–era styles. The cabins vary in size, but the largest sleeps up to six and has its own bath. A central bathhouse has hot showers and toilets, and all guests have access to the sauna. The excellent Dirty Skillet restaurant on-site offers great food and live music on the weekends.
