Needed to get away but I had been too sick for much action. Pleasantly surprised to see this one open at the last minute around the holidays. Stayed for three nights and greatly enjoyed the peace and hiking trails around the cabin. A warning of sorts, this is a very primitive cabin. There is plenty of running water in the stream below. That's about the only amenity. In the winter, you'll need to keep the wood stove going. It wasn't that cold while we were there and it stayed remarkably warm. For boiling water, a pocket rocket is a much better idea. While we were there, was surprised there was not any cast iron cookware. It would have made cooking much easier but what they had sufficed. For the two of us and the dog, it was cozy. We ended up stowing the table and benches on the upper bunks for more floor space and just had our mini chairs. it's a great launch point to do White Rocks. Really great way to start the year. Hope to return to this cabin again .

Parking, the Appalachian Trail, slightly technical and strenuous hikingall immediately nearby. Lots of muddy creeks, shop if hiking with the dogs, be ready to wash them.
Far from Appalachian trail( half a mile down hill) no shelter, cabin locked, privy locked, just pic nick table available.
Bear Spring Cabin is a nice off-trail alternative to trail shelters and campsites on the AT that sometimes get considerable foot traffic along this stretch of trail. The primitive cabin has a collection of cast iron cookware, bunks (no bedding), a table and benches, and a wood stove. The window shutters are a little tricky to open. It has a private privy (mouldering latrine; uses the same key as the cabin) and a spacious covered eating area that includes a grill and picnic table, along with counter space and basin for dishes. Note that as a primitive cabin, you'll need to bring your own light. The spring, while reliable, is about a quarter mile from the cabin; fill up in one trip. Also, the cabin is about three quarters of a mile downslope from the AT. It can be tricky to get to in wet weather, and it's quite the \good morning\ to get back on the trail the next day. Refer to PATC Map 5/6.
This is a great place for a retreat away from all that causes you stress.
