Pet friendly & welcoming cabin, with a great responsive host. Very easy to access -close to highway 4, walkable to bear valley businesses, music festival etc but also is peaceful and quiet. We came in the summer, so took advantage of the amazing outdoor area with hammocks, bbq and campfire ring.If you drink coffee, bring ground not whole beans to use in the coffee maker.

This was our best Bear Valley trip ever!

The cabin was really great and the host Katia was great also. Even though I like staying at different places every year, it’s going to be very tempting to rent this one again.

Classic mountain cabin experience

Had a great spring skiing visit to Bear Valley, and the cabin was exactly what we were looking for: snowbound, easy to access, spacious, clean and well equipped. This is a classic Bear Valley cabin, so don't expect luxurious appointments, but everything was exactly as advertised and worked well, location is extremely convenient, and we had a great time.

Great ski weekend

We loved the house - especially not needing a snowmobile to get to it! House was super clean and spacious. Plenty of parking nearby and the mountain was only a 10-15 min drive away. Would def stay again.

Enjoyable Bear Valley escape

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and as advertised. The kitchen was especially well stocked with pots/pans/utensils/etc. We loved that the house was snow-bound, yet it was still close enough to walk in with our belongings from the parking lot. Will return someday.

Perfect spot to join our out of state children and grandchildren. Lots of room for everyone and absolutely everything you need. Lodge is easily walkable. Lakes and great trails are a quick drive. Very easy check-in but Katia was always available. We had a wonderful stay!!

If you want snow, this is it. It is close enough to walk from Lot C. Come prepared to snow hike. You can ski to the cabin/Inn which is near by.
