  This is a true hidden gem. It’s an outstandingly well-built and amazingly warm house placed in a movie like setting. The top floor terrace and the kitchen are amazing. The second floor has so many windows to enjoy the surroundings. It is simply breathtakingly beautiful over there. The house is very well equipped; pretty much bring the bare minimum. Both the adults and toddler loved the house and the skiing / sledding experience. Our toddler is still talking about snowmobile to everyone even though we visited early March. Next thing to do is to come in the summer to grill on the terrace and to enjoy the scenery and hiking. I fully recommend this place to families and anyone who wants a truly exceptional experience.

  We had such a great time! Timing was perfect, we got up without chains, then the snow just dumped on us until Monday morning. We loved the cabin (again) and the sledding all the way around. The snowmobile worked just fine and the taxi service was very helpful getting our gear up the hill and back down. We really lucked out with the weather, and we were so glad to stay at your warm, cozy, wonderful cabin again this year! The kids and the grownups had such fun in the snow. Thanks again for making our Chirstmas memories so wonderful this year! We will be back for sure! (By the way, I was never Sad in the Snow at your cabin!)

  As active seniors (early 60's) we are always looking for the next new getaway. When the area is within 3+ hours of home, even better. We were planning a trip to Mammoth and wanted to overnight somewhere pleasant enroute. Checked the map, found 3 different "passes" we could travel over to reach our destination, and began the VRBO search. Well, the one destination that offered the most options was Bear Valley; and the one home that appealed to us greatly was this property 1271. What a jewel! With non-stop windows you feel part of nature. The views are awesome from both the deck and the windows within. The pictures are accurate; yet, the home looks even better in person. The size was just right for us; plenty of space, yet the feel is cozy. We enjoyed the woodstove each evening throughout dinner and relaxing and reading thereafter. We had great weather during our stay which allowed us to enjoy the deck each morning and savor "happy hour" during sunset before moving inside. The golden yellow leaves of the aspens in the Fall were beautiful. The home appeared quite new or lovingly taken care of by previous renters and very clean. The kitchen was stocked well, and cooking was a treat with the view out the kitchen window. October seems a good time to visit while the weather is still pleasant and the neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. It was fun just walking all the residential streets. We should add that we really enjoyed the area itself. Quite a few good hiking trails, many of them commencing from Lake Alpine. The owner, Stefani, was very friendly and helpful during the planning stage. Our dog, Sadie, (german shepherd mix) is our travelling companion, and we appreciate the owner allowing her to enjoy the home as well. We will definitely return and spend a much longer period of time on our next trip.

  Really enjoyed our stay at this place. The house is beautifully located and hits the right balance between feeling "rustic" and being nicely appointed. The owner is extremely nice, and responds immediately to inquiries. We're definitely coming back!

  Our family has stayed here several times over the years and we have always had a wonderful time. The views are gorgeous - the best in Bear Valley. Coffee on the deck in the morning overlooking the mountains is a real treat. It is quiet and semi-secluded at the end of a cul-de-sac with no neighbors on two sides, but convenient to the village and all the activities around Bear Valley. You can take a short hike up the mountain for even more spectacular views.

  I don't know what we loved the most: the amazing view, the peace and silence, a hiking trail that just started above the cabin, the freedom to roam the beautiful surroundings... too much to tell, it must be experienced. We went on a daily (outstanding!) hike every day, never repeating ourselves, swam in pristine lakes. Our Maremma Sheepdog, Nuvola had a blast running around, hunting squirrels or simply resting on the deck looking at all that was going on below and guarding the entire valley from there. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The owner was very friendly and responded in a timely manner to our e-mails. We'll definitely be back!
