Historic Bear Creek Property Gets New Life Under Local Owners

Jason and Nicole Earls have restored the historic Bear Creek Cabins and RV park on U.S. Highway 101 in Washington state. The couple removed a 30-yard dumpster of debris, replaced furniture and bedding, and repaired infrastructure. Cabins now offer modern amenities, and the RV park provides partial and full hook-up sites. The former restaurant will remain closed for 4–5 years until funding for a major renovation is secured.
