"A log cabin by a river surrounded by silence so great you could hear the earth breathe"

"What a wonderful interlude, great scenery, lots of sightings, lots of information. The setting was magical - a log cabin by a river surrounded by silence so great you could hear the earth breathe. Kristin is a wonderful cook and the hungry trekkers looked forward to their meals as much as the bear, eagle and wolf sightings. We were well looked after by Gillian & Julius and their humour was infectious. An experience we shall never forget." - Sue & Richard Crooks, Watford, UK.

"Thank you so much, we have had a once in a lifetime experience staying here. Everything about our stay has been perfect: the food, the company, the scenery, the cabin, the dogs and, of course, the bears! You made us feel so welcome, it has been lovely. Also it was great to find out so much about the bears and their habitat and what we can do to make them stay as happy as they were when we saw them. We will return." - Paula & John Reynolds, Pouldine, Ireland.
