Our second stay at this property. It is a good location for skiing with the free Mountaineer shuttle to the Alpine base. The covered garage is a nice benefit and overall the property is in great condition with plenty of space for our family of four.

We’re so glad the location worked well for your ski trip and that the Mountaineer shuttle to Alpine made getting to the slopes easy and convenient. It’s great to hear the covered garage, spacious layout, and overall condition of the home were a good fit for your family. We’d love to welcome you back for a third stay whenever your travels bring you back to the area. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience!

Lovely cabin

Cozy cabin that is immaculately kept. Nice layout for quiet + family time, and easy in winter with the garage! We used the Mountaineer shuttle to get to Alpine in the morning, and actually walked back and forth a few times, so didn't end up using our car all weekend. So relaxing.

OK place depending on your expectations

Attractive building with very nice, large living room. Excellent location very close to Bear Creek pond. Somewhat awkward layout with washer/dryer located in master bathroom. Very small deck with no cover or shade trees so unpleasant to use during most of the day in middle of summer. Maybe better in later fall or spring. Might be a more appropriate rental for ski season than summer.

We are sorry to hear that this house did not meet your expectations. We try to be as transparent as possible with our pictures, interactive floor plan and birds-eye layout. We hope that in the future, you will allow us to help you find a house that better fits the needs of your group. Please note that an umbrella was purchased for this deck to provide shade cover.
