Perfectly located to Alpine Lake and surrounding area.
This cottage was very clean and well located to the wedding venue we attended. It was comfortable / welcoming for all who stayed here. It is well priced as well.
Thank you Chuck for such an enjoyable stay at your Bear Valley condo. We felt so peaceful and loved the comfy spaces. Everything was clean and easy to operate. Hope to stay again sometime :-)
We found the place as a perfect match for location, price, cleanliness and fun. It was our first summer, not skiing, visit to Bear Valley and it was a blast!
We do appreciate Chuck and Mimi hosting.
The house was well equipped with all the required essentials. Chuck was very nice and patiently responded to all our queries before and during our stay. The place is very close the ski resort and other snow activities. Overall we had good time during our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay at Chuck and Mimi’s condo. It was a great place for our family and we were able to spread out comfortably. Chuck was easy to communicate with and prompt with all inquiries. I would highly recommend this sweet spot at Bear Valley!
Perfect size for our group of 6 people, you can probably fit 8 people too. Having stayed in multiple different condos in Bear Valley in winter, we can say that the heating in this condo is top: pellet stove in the living room, good electric heaters in the bedrooms.
Property Owner was very kind to stay in touch with us and make sure we arrived and were safe for the week. We were very grateful that the power stayed on through the entire Blizzard of 2023. Amazing amounts of snow. Everything we needed was available at the Condo. We brought our own food and were able to make all meals in house. We built a snowman and an igloo with all of the available snow! Overall, an amazing trip and a memorable experience.
Great location for winter skiing and snow activities. Has private parking which avoids the often crowded public parking areas. Easy access to highway, local stores and lodge. Kids were able to play in the snow and sled right outside (due to large snow pack). Only problem we had was we couldn't get the downstairs TV to work (problem with the remote), but we didn't need it any way. Some what dated kitchen, but still functional.
I wasn’t to sure when we first got to the property, it’s nothing fancy, but by the second day, I loved it, the beds were comfortable, the place was clean and it was very homey! I didn’t feel like I was going to ruin the carpets with the snow on my boots! The location to Bear Valley ski resort was great! Chuck was very communicative, which I was grateful for! We had an issue with power, but in the sierras that is to be expected, and he was great with communication about that as well. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
Good location for skiing. Bathrooms and kitchen need serious upgrades. A BIGGER hot water tank!!!! Whoever did some projects for you were sloppy… nails showing under walls etc I just remodeled 3 Beth and kitchen so I know of what I speak. The sheet bottom for downstairs queen would not stay on. Mattresses good. A unified heating system makes sense also.

I am very pleased with the property manager. Chuck is very accessible and provided all the info in a timely manner.
On the other hand, the property itself needs to be renovated. Everything is pretty old. In addition, the place was not as clean as I would expect to see it. Some things were missing. For example, there was no hair dryer in the place.
We loved your condo...room for all of us...great games...close to all our activities...kitchen wonderfully furnished...great bathrooms and hot water...laundry...and so easy to book...plus let us in early...THANK YOU
Nice three-level condo, conveniently located in the Bear Valley resort area. Walk to good dining and cross-country skiing and snow play, and short drive to Bear Valley down hill skiing. Plenty of room for three-generation get away.

About the host
Hosted by Chuck Carter
I am a lifelong Sierra Nevada native, having been born and raised in/around Yosemite National Park. We discovered Bear Valley only recently and am saddened by the fact that we did not discover it earlier in life. Bear Valley is a special place and we are excited to share it with you and your family.
