Beautiful mountain home
The location was perfect, it had views from all sides. The house itself was gorgeous and has so many cozy blankets and pillows and everything we needed. My kids loved the hot tub and the fire pit was perfect for smores with my little ones. It was a secluded area and we had two deer come right up to our deck and let us pet them!! We will definitely be going back, but next time we’ll stay even longer.

Wonderful place
This is our second time staying here. It always makes us feel like our second home and we never want to leave. We have everything we want and need here all that you need to make it feel that way. It is so well equipped with what you need so we just pack our clothes and food . The area is so beautiful and we even had a deer walk up to us right by the deck it was great to see. We will definitely come back again. Thanks Bear house for making us feel like home

Best place to stay in the mountain!!!
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay here. There was everything we needed from all the bathrooms beds and amenities!!! The hot tub was a much needed bonus after hours of skiing on the slopes! The deer as well did not disappoint! They were waiting for us when we woke up to feed and before the sun went down! I highly recommend this property! Also definitely make sure you are traveling with 4WD or AWD cause you definitely need it to get up the mountain when the temperatures drop and the snow fall!!!

Wildlife
The property was perfect for 6 adults and 6 children under 5. We enjoyed the stay and our favorite part was the deer that would come up to you and eat out of the kids hands.

Incredible Mountain Getaway
This house was everything we thought it would be and more. We enjoyed the huge kitchen, dining and living room as we cooked and enjoyed each others company. The outside BBQ grill was in great shape and cooked our Filets perfectly....the hottub was hot and super clean! EVERY single day during our stay there were Elk wandering through the property. The house was clean and Barb was wonderful providing our checkin instructions.

Mountain Retreat
My family (10 total) stayed over the summer and had a wonderful time. The home is very well equipped (especially the kitchen), clean and inviting. The hot tub wasn’t quite working upon arrival so they quickly called a technician who had it running by the next morning! The kids were delighted by all the wildlife that came by (elk, deer, chipmunks and a bobcat). The cabin felt secluded and had a large deck where we could all enjoy a meal outdoors. Overall we were very pleased with our visit.
