Bear Den

🏔️ The space Forget the dated log cabins. This is mountain stay reimagined — vaulted ceilings, walls of forest-facing windows, knotty-pine beams meeting clean modern lines, and a wraparound deck where the mornings slow down. Big Trees five minutes away, Murphys wine country twenty-five, Bear Valley powder thirty. Whether you're chasing sequoias, tasting flights on Main Street, or dialing into a 9am call from the workspace, this single-level retreat is built to make mountain life effortless. 🛋️ THE GREAT ROOM Plush oversized sectional, wood-burning stove (firewood provided in season), and a large smart TV for movie nights.
