We had a really nice weekend at the Bear House - very spacious yet cozy home, great views, and great location. The temperature was too cold when we arrived, but the owners quickly reached out on how best to heat up the home and we were fine after that. Would stay again!

This is a lovely house. Great shape; pretty much just like the pictures in the photos. There were 16 of us in our group, and there was room for everyone. I read in previous reviews that some people were hot here. We didn't have this problem at all. It was 85 during the day, but it was cool at night so there was no issue. We had a wonderful time at this fantastic house.

Our large group had a relaxing weekend away. The house had plenty of space for us to spread out and we had everything we needed for a wonderful weekend. Would stay here again with the same group!

Great family week at the Bear Ski House!
Great family week at the Bear Ski House!
We had a great family vacation to celebrate my Mom's birthday! To start: the owners are 5 stars. Very helpful and accommodating when we needed to communicate or get help. The good: we had a great time! There were 14 of us total, ranging in age from 1 to 80. There was plenty of room, and the kitchen (in particular) was fully functional and had everything we needed. The location is great - convenient to lots of towns and attractions. The bedrooms/beds were all very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were busy, but also clean and fully functional. The not-as-great: this house gets hot (really hot) in the summer. The owners provide many upright fans, and several of the windows have screens, but the upper floors of the house retain heat in the summer. We gave my parents (70+) the master bedroom, but the (only) air conditioner wasn't working, so their room stayed pretty warm until the middle of the night. The trash situation is also interesting, due to the raccoons. The trash must be kept in large cans a utility room (not in the house), but after a hot week in July ... Like all rentals, if the prior group leaves the house in rough shape, it can be difficult for the owners and their helpers to turn it over effectively/completely. This was the case for us: lots of leftover food/beers in one of the refrigerators, broken chair(s) by the firepit, grill had to be repaired. In every case, the owners and caretaker did their best to address the issues quickly. Overall, it's a very nice house for a group, and the owners are very helpful and responsive. I would likely stay here again ... just during cooler months :)

Booked this house with a group of friends during 4th of July weekend. The property is really wonderful, spacious, and has everything one needs. Our group cooked for every meal and the kitchen was well equipped, appliances were nice, and the grill was great too. Additionally, I am very particular about beds and normally struggle with them in rentals, but immediately rested comfortably here. We were worried at first coming in here without AC, but it was totally fine. The first day we were there it was 92F outside and we were able to comfortably enjoy the lower living room during the hottest part of the day and then moved upstairs in the evening. There are also fans in every room, which was very helpful. We ran into some snags with the house at first, but owners were immediately and constantly responsive even though it was a holiday weekend--we appreciate that very much. Everyone in my group would absolutely rent this house again.
