Great location, all the amenities needed for our 4 night stay, loved we had our own designated parking and I personally enjoyed the fireplace. Water pressure in the showers was lacking a bit, but not something that would prevent us from renting again.

We have stayed at Bear and the unit below named Bull several times over the past 5 years. We love the location, 1/2 block off the little village main street but super quiet. Private designated parking onsite. Close to everything and only 5 - 8 minutes to other great locations like App Ski, Doc Rocks Museum and Play center (must visit- little gem), outlet mall, and Tweetsie Railroad theme park. This unit is pet-friendly. It is an upper unit, so there are stairs every time your little darling needs to go out. There is a park at the top of the street and another at the bottom. This unit is very spacious for 2 - 6 adults or so to hang out. Everything is well-appointed. Washer and dryer included. Beds are comfortable. Bathrooms are newer and spacious. Also, great closet space and bedroom dressers to put everything in its place during your stay. Additionally, nice fireplaces in the unit and on the patio. Finally, the owner is exceptional.
