Family ski trip

Loved our stay. The location was amazing as we could walk to the ski resort for my son to have his lesson. My younger daughter could watch the skiers through the sliding glass door in the living room which was really fun. Plenty of space and clean. Property was as described and owner was responsive and clear.

Great stay at the Bear condo

Amazing communication with the owner. Location is awesome for those who ski or snowboard. Kids were able to snow board right up to the back porch area which kept us from having to sit at the resort all day. I would bring earplugs if you will be bothered by the snow making loud rumbling noise all night.

Walk to Bear Mountain Lift or Snow Summit Shuttle

More than enough room for our party of 5, plenty of towels, kitchen supplies for cooking and the location was great. We actually enjoyed skiing Snow Summit more than Bear mountain because most of Bear Mountain was set up for Snowboard freestyle park runs and we were all skiing. But that wasn't an issue as the shuttle is right in front of Bear Mountain (5 minute walk from front door of townhome) and it runs every 30 mins. Garage acts as a great mud room/storage place for your snow gear and the owners were responsive and friendly. Great trip for some spring skiing.

Walk to the lifts

You can’t beat the location. In the morning you can sip coffee, sit in front of the fireplace and watch the black diamond skiers and snowboarders tear down the mountain immediately in your backyard. Head out the back yard directly to the slopes.

Beautiful Views and you can't beat the location

The property was so amazing and clean. John & Stephanie's communication was some of the best I've seen on an VRBO and they were very accommodating. They even turned on the heat for us before we arrived so the townhouse was nice and warm. For those visiting Bear Mountain, you can virtually board/ski right up to the deck and for those going to Snow Summit, the shuttle is a short walk away. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you J&S for allowing us to use your Condo. Best, Ben

Great vacation home and great host!

This was our second stay at the Bear Condo, and it is a perfect getaway. The condo is exactly as described, with everything in good and working order - from appliances to window blinds. Lovely and serene views from the back patio, walking distance to the golf course, the zoo, and of course Bear Mountain base. The condo itself is right at the slopes - ski to the bottom to purchase your lift ticket! As lovely, inviting and cozy as this condo is, it is still surpassed by the hospitality of John, your host. We had another perfect getaway John - Thank you!
