Dear bird and butterfly enthusiasts,
Always in search of the most spectacular locale to bird and/or observe butterflies?
Search no more-Bear's Den Cottages, www.bearsdencottages.com, a Green and Socially Responsible lodging business in Hocking County will astound and amaze you.
Located on 200 private acres you will find a beautiful Lodge (sleeps 4-10) and a cozy cottage (sleeps 2), completely separate, secluded and immersed in their own glorious natural setting. The acreage provides the perfect blend of woodland, woodland edge and meadows to create the most desirable sanctuary for a large variety of bird species. |

After hiking the beautiful natural
surroundings, come back to either the Lodge or Cottage
to view wildlife from the porches, decks or even inside
(both structures have large and many windows). Look out
of the large picture windows of the Lodge and view hawks
soaring in the nearby meadow, or sit on the cottage deck
to view them gliding gracefully through the forest.
Woodpeckers love to hang out at the topped trees (at
least one near each unit). With meadows full of
milkweed, butterfly weed and other native wildflowers,
Monarch and other butterfly species are waiting to
please your eyes. |

One
of our guests witnessed a "National Geographic" moment
when he observed a Golden Eagle in flight, snake dangling from
his beak.
Three years ago my husband, Mike, was
casually looking out of the Lodge window and spotted
what he later learned was a migrating Yellow Bellied Sap
Sucker in a nearby tree. In his research he found it to
be an endangered species in Ohio.

Avid birders over the years have made
long lists of species they have spotted on our
property. The richness and diversity has truly excited
them.
Although
the birding and butterfly observation at Bear's Den Cottages
is phenomenal, we are making strides for great improvement to
increase our guests' chance to view their natural friends up
close. With a degree in Landscape Architecture, background
in Horticulture and specialty garden design, I am going to design
and install specialty gardens near the Lodge that will attract
bird and butterfly species. Also as a part of this enhancement
will be an increase in other aviary attractors such as special
birdhouses and feeders. |

Green and Socially Responsible as a business, we tread
very lightly on the earth, understanding that the
measures we take (or, fail to take) directly affect the
ecosystems of the friends we hold so dear. We use only
all natural cleaning supplies, toiletries, recycled
paper, organic tea/organic fair trade coffee. We
require recycling.
In your search for Lodging in the Hocking
Hills, please give us a call. Let us know that
you are affiliated with a birding/butterfly group.
In respect for all of the earth and
inhabitants,
Gwen Corbett
