Thank you for choosing Big Bear Vacations and for the 5-star rating, Christopher. We are so pleased to hear you found your stay at Little Bear to your liking. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
My husband and I had a great time staying here, the location was perfect for all we wanted to do and the overall check in process was simple and easy. One thing to note about this stay is that the drive way is very difficult to get in and out of due to a massive gap between the drive way and the road, if our car was any lower we would’ve ruined our bumper. Other than that we had a wonderful time and would definitely be willing to stay here again!

It was our pleasure to host your recent stay with us. We are so pleased to hear you found your stay at Little Bear to your liking. We take all feedback to heart and have noted your feedback about the driveway for improvement. Our team is looking forward to the opportunity to host you all again!
This cabin was just what we were looking for! We were very happy we could bring our 2 dogs. The patio area was great! We blocked off the entrance using the baby gate we brought (there was in a closet already though) so the dogs could just hangout on the patio with us without being leashed. We would definately recommend this place! And possibly come back some day!

Thanks so much for your kind review Nathan! Our team is so happy to hear that you had a good time here at Little Bear Cabin. We are all looking forward to hosting you again!
The inside of the property was great, it was clean and cozy, and it was decorated beautifully, but the outside patio needs painting, and the driveway needs repair and the weeds to be pulled out. As you are walking in, it is decieivng, becuase you see the neglect, but you walk in, and are pleasantly surprice how pretty and cozy the cabin was. We really enjoyed out stay. Lots of hot water, shower felt great after being out in the freezing gold, after the fire work show. We made beautiful memories hers. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cabin.

That One Night
Property is small and cozy (pictures try to make it look huge !) Its quite cold in winter since only a wall heater is available. No hot water in bathroom sink (or it takes forever). Dress warm, bundle up.

Disappointing
Everything was dated and borderline dirty. No dishwasher. Space heaters weren’t enough to warm the rooms. No light in the laundry room / hallway.
Overall very disappointing since it wasn’t cheap either.

Comfy place
Super comfy, nice place. Cozy for winter time activities and small family. The location is not walking distance to anything, especially if during winter with snow. That piece threw me off, I swear listing said walk to village. Then the kitchen could use a few more kitchen tools, like a cheese shredder, but it gets it done and it's very comfortable, nice layout for a tiny place. Management is prompt.

Little Bear is a nice property. It is clean, cute, quaint, close to amenities, located in a quiet area, appointed with fresh linens and the heater that is in good working order. I would stay there again. My only issue with Little Bear is that the water pressure in the shower is TERRIBLE - please replace the shower head ASAP. Thank you!
