Quiet and location
Recently stayed at this property. 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.

first ski weekend
my brother and i met for a ski weekend with our kids- had a super fun time. lodge is walking distance from the ski shuttle. checkin and check out were super simple. cool cabins are VERY responsive to messaging. very cozy home, kids had a great time with the game room. a bit pricey, but understandable given the holiday weekend and location.

perfect location
It's walkable to the zoo, Bear Mt. Resort and shuttle to Summit. 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.

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

The cabin was nice, would have like the whole yard enclosed for the dog.
The cabin is on a very busy street and it was very loud and people drive to fast. Next time we will not stay on a busy street.

Relaxing Retreat
We enjoyed our time in the mountains while staying in this cozy cabin. We especially liked that we could walk to the zoo and walk to catch the shuttle to Bear Mountain.

Cool cabins
Everything was as expected. Nice place, cozy and comfortable. Only observation is that we never received a confirmation email saying we needed to check in at a different address from the one listed on the property.

Very Cozy
The place was in a great location. Very close into town and only 4 minutes from the Snow Summit. The 2 family room spaces were great and the 2 bedrooms upstairs were good size rooms. They provided more than enough blankets. Cable tv on both living spaces. More than likely we will be using them again. Family had a great time!

Cozy Home Away from Home
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this cozy cabin. It’s like our Home away From Home. The facilities are excellent. Flat screen TV’s are awesome and having wifi was an added bonus. We will return and highly recommend this cabin

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

Great service and home feel!
Such a beautiful, cozy cabin! Our arrival at cool cabins was nothing short of special. The girls were so sweet and answered all questions. The home was very well kept and we woke up to the best views. Great choice for a cabin rental and we will definitely be using them again.
