Property fit everyone very comfortably & we had a great time! Communication with host was excellent with quick responses.

Great for a large group. Brandi is responsive to all questions. So close to slopes. Probably not the best for green or beginner skiers but the property is wonderful. Bedding is excellent. Cheers

Great location for ski in/out. Great for large groups as lots of beds and bathrooms, parking for several vehicles. Kitchen is a bit small and the lighting is kind of dim. Overall our group had a great time.

Spacious and very comfortable in the main house, cabin, and studio. Kitchen is very well appointed for cooking and gathering. Owner addressed a plumbing issue quickly and shoveled as much snow as possible when the storm cleared. Large garage area is perfect for donning/doffing and storing ski gear. Very convenient. There are many steps from street level into the main house. This was problematic to negotiate in icy conditions with tired legs at the end of the day. WiFi is dependent on T-Mobile cell towers that were adversely affected by a storm. The numerous and very nice TVs therefore could not be used for several days. If you plan to work at the location, prepare to bring a non-T-Mobile hotspot to ensure WiFi Access. The weather is not the owner's fault, but the Ski-On/Ski-Off feature, which was our main objective, required scaling a 12-foot wall of snow and ice to reach the Stagecoach trail and lift due to the record snowfall. Plus, most of the mountain was closed for most of the week, and skiing from the Nevada side to the California side of the mountain (and vice versa) was impossible. We had to rent a taxi twice ($100 round trip each time) to transport us and our equipment to and from the California Lodge. For this reason, the property was extremely expensive for our party of 9 people with limited skiing in a record snow year. However, on the days we skied the Nevada side only (we could not get to the top of the mountain until Thursday), once we got used to scaling the wall of snow and ice, it was very convenient to have direct access to the slope. Communication with the owner(s) was excellent in the months leading up to the trip and during the trip. Very responsive! In spite of all the complications due to weather, we left with a good feeling about our time there and will return at a future date.

Pros * Owners/Property managers were very nice and responsive * Location of the property for a private sledding trail is unmatched * Ski in ski out access was fantastic * Proximity to the Stagecoach lodge to rent skis was awesome...so close, so easy, no waiting * Internet worked great, TVs had multiple streaming devices, was great * Plenty of dishes, cookware, spices available to use which was great as we didn't drive much once there. We cooked in every meal. Ordered Safeway grocery delivery * views from the reading room were amazing...we could watch our kids sled, have snowball fights and ski down the hill ----Cons: Detached garage wasn't great. It snowed a TON and we had to trounce through the snowy stairs outside to get to our garage where skis where, etc The place is very old and eclectic and could certainly benefit from a remodel and get refreshed. The lighting is dim.

Great rental, especially for 12 guys. I was very nervous about no air conditioning but it was not a problem at all. Location & Amenities were excellent. Only real complaint would be price. Thanks for having us!

We had a great time at The Bear on the Roof. Great location for hiking, going to town, etc. Kitchen was well stocked, bedrooms were comfortable, plenty of room to gather with family. Just loved the extra large kitchen table. We enjoyed the Lake Tahoe area immensely!
