50th bday getaway

This place was perfect for a small group of fellas. We relaxed, watched the games and had a beer. The kitchen was perfect for all to sit together and eat. Bring your own seasoning 😉

Labor Day Weekend stay

Amazing Property! Very clean and has everything we could ever need for our family stay! The house had alot of fun board games and extra blankets and pillows! From the booking the house to check out, the conversations was smooth and they replied quickly. Can't wait to come back! The Shiners!

Excellent

Cozy and clean with everything our family of five needed. Loved the jacuzzi tub, pool table and game room though the foosball table needs a little fixing and board game pieces are often missing. Great location requiring only 3-10 minutes drive to grocery store, pharmacy and ski resorts.and rental. We had a really good stay

Very good for 5 people

The property was perfect for us. It had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook and the location is great (for our ski vacation). The good mattresses in the house are only those of the Queen beds and one more folded mattress. The rest of them were not comfortable at all, so I only recommend this house for 5 people but no more than that.

cozy cabin but requires landscaping and cleanliness

It is a nice cozy cabin as listed. I give it 4 stars due to lack of cleanliness (spider webs and dead flies on the couch). We were mainly disappointed by the backyard, which needs proper landscaping. Having said that we enjoyed our stay. They have good collection of books and beautiful bear valley themed interior. Cabin had all latest amenities.

Cabin was large but only one broken tv, the pool table was lopsided & we could not play. No awing or protection from rain storm. Outdated cabin.

My stay was great but...

Everything about my stay in the cabin was great with the only exception being that the back yard had little lighting and it was hard to see while using the bbq or jacuzzi. That is why i give it 4/5 stars.
