Oct 2, 2024 #### Decent place Home is great, no complaints with the home. Couple things to note… pretty considerate ant problem throughout the whole house. Got ant traps at the market and it was fine. Would find them crawling on me a couple times a day. Didn't really bother me but not ideal. Also the backyard is not completely fenced. Considerately large un-fenced areas. Would stay here again for sure ##### Jonny B. ### 8/10 Good #### Eugenia R.

Is close to the ski resorts, and the property is really quiet, we enjoy our time there, however, see the fine print, about you taking out the trash to the public nearest garbage. Check the fine print before checking out. ##### Eugenia R. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie J.

The property has everything you need except for dish washer. It was a nice surprise to find plenty of entertainment for kids from Pacman to board games. The only problem we had was not being able to finding the light switch for the kitchen, it was completely hidden behind the coffee maker, in which the maintenance people were nice enough to point it out. ##### Pamela L.

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Laurie H. Oct 24, 2017 #### Relaxing stay Bear Mountain Retreat Bear Mountain Retreat Our 3 nights at Bear Mountain Retreat was very relaxing and enjoyable. Check in was so easy, we were given directions and headed off to the cabin. The cabin was much larger than we needed - we were only two adults and our dog. Two nice size bedrooms, 2 full baths, kitchen with everything we needed - we actually cooked ALL our meals at the cabin, there is a living room with cable TV and wireless internet that worked great, and central heating. Small dining table for 4 people. There is a downstairs area we didn't even use with a tv, chair, futon, poker table and washer/dryer. The door there leads to the small backyard area. My only complaint with this cabin is the yard is not fully fenced in - it is partially fenced, but with our dog we had to go out with her each time. I do like that is was pet friendly but would not bring the dog back here. I would however stay again in this cabin without my dog... Close to town, shopping and lake ##### Laurie H.
