Please be aware that from October to April every year, the
government of BC requires that all passenger vehicles driving up Hemlock
Valley Road must use winter tires (Sidewall must be labelled with M+S,
or the 3-peaked mountain/snowflake symbol) and be prepared to use tire
chains when necessary. For more information, please check the Government of BC website.
And please also note that April and May are sometimes blessed with more winter snow than spring rain, and those accumulations can take a while to fully melt. Check weather reports here, or contact us directly for current conditions at the chalet to avoid surprises.
Due to the new normal created by the pandemic (remember that?), we continue to block two days after each booking to allow for a thorough cleaning of the entire home and to sanitize frequently touched surfaces between reservations. Our aim is to have you feel safe staying at Bear Behind. If you have any concerns regarding decorative pillows, throws or other items you’d rather avoid, please message us and we’ll remove them for you.
If you have not been to Hemlock Valley before, it is a quiet alpine community with no grocery or fuel services. Provisions must be brought up the mountain with you and Bear Behind has room to accommodate them during your stay.
During the good times and difficult stretches in our lives, it's the promise of Hemlock's solitude while keeping friends and loved ones close at hand that makes this place so darn special.
Please also take the time to go over our house rules before your stay. While we invite you to come, relax and  escape the everyday at least for a little while, we also wish to remind you that this is our home. We love our Bear Behind and we do our best to make it charming for you. We hope you enjoy it and see fit to treat it with respect.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Vance

Host profile image
My wife and I first came to Hemlock Valley in 2015 and we fell in love with the place almost immediately. In 2019, we purchased a gorgeous log chalet and it is located on the most desirable road on the mountain. A month of hard work later, Bear Behind Lodge was born! Since that time, I have inserted myself into the local community by volunteering with the Hemlock Valley Homeowners Association (I am presently the VP) to represent homeowners when dealing with different levels of government, businesses (like Sasquatch Mountain Resort) and the Sts'ailes first nation. I am also a certified first responder with the Hemlock Valley Volunteer Fire Department, loving every minute I get to serve my community alongside a terrific group of firefighters! HOT TUB: People sometimes ask why we do not have a hot tub at Bear Behind. The answer is simple when you know how deeply involved I am with the community. I am very aware of the village's drinking water situation (i.e. there's not a lot of it). It was not until recently that HVVFD was even allowed to use local fire hydrants for practices. It created too much strain on the utility’s water filtration system and it could drastically reduce the stored water level left for the rest of the community. Three days before Christmas 2022, the utility actually ran out of water! People on the hill simply had no running water in the lead up to the most important holiday period of any mountain's ski season, and there was no warning that the issue had become so dire. There are many new builds appearing in Hemlock Valley each year, all of which have hot tubs of various capacities, and all of which are being made available to overnight visitors. If homeowners/property managers are doing what they should for sanitary reasons, those tubs are being drained and refilled often. This puts an enormous strain on our fragile water infrastructure here, and my wife and I feel strongly that we must resist the temptation to be part of the problem.

Why they chose this property

While there are closer ski hills around Metro Vancouver, Hemlock Valley is the only true alpine community in the lower mainland. I've always loved being in the mountains. Having a home on one, while still being only an hour and a half from the city, is a wonderful dream come true. Hemlock Valley is truly a gem.

What makes this property unique

There are lots of multi-unit and single family homes in Hemlock Valley. Only a few of them are real log homes, and what feels more right in the Canadian alpine than a real log home? Of those limited log homes, there are even fewer that have been built with greater quality, or a smarter floor plan, than Bear Behind Lodge. Perhaps just as important as those other elements, is the log home's location! Snowflake Crescent is the Park Place and Boardwalk of the mountain's Monopoly boardgame. Nestled at the foot of Sasquatch Mountain Resort's ski hill, Bear Behind Lodge has terrific views of the slopes from the back porch and side windows, while the building's Alpha side (Front) looks toward the lower village and the gorgeous mountain tops beyond. You cannot beat it.
