This house is by far the cleanest and most put together home my family has stayed at while vacationing at Snowshoe. You can tell that the owners really want you to have a great experience.

Wonderful ski in ski out beautiful cabin

This wonderful place had everything we needed and more! We enjoyed the hot tub, the large family room and dining table, and comfortable rooms. It is very hard to find large living space when you need a lot of bedrooms. Warm and cozy and beautifully decorated. The kids love the upstairs bunk rooms and their own private TV area.

Great Location, Super Close to Slopes,

We had a great time at Bear Cubs Den. The house was stocked with everything that we needed. The boot/glove/helmet dryer was a nice surprise. The house was extremely clean. The slopes were just a short walk/drive. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip. The layout with multiple levels was great for letting the kids have their space and the adults to have theirs.

Garland-Peterson Stay

A lovely property, truly worthy of the moniker "a home from home." The nearby resort is excellent and kept an otherwise beach fixated crowd entertained. The railway and observatory in the close by towns of Cass and Greenbank respectively were an unexpected bonus. Some of the neighboring properties weren't quite as well maintained as this one and there was construction taking place down the road, but these were minor blemishes on an otherwise excellent experience. Very highly recommended.

Very Accommodating

Everything worked properly and the home was very nice. Property owner needs to update his wifi information bc its in correct. We found the correct information in a note book 3 ring binder. The garage was nice!

Bear Cub stay

We loved the ease of entry into the house especially into the heated garage. The 2-car garage made it extremely easy to handle all the wet ski and snowboard gear. It truly makes a difference when compared to other places on the mountain. The kitchen and dining area exceeded all of our needs. The beds and bathrooms were ver comfortable and warm. Would highly recommend this place with families of 5 or more. Oh, we also loved the easy HDMI connection for our Apple TV and the speedy wifi. 10 Prime Steakhouse, shuttle, and Soaring Eagle lift are a 5 minute walk away. Great vacation for us!

Gorgeous home in wonderful location

Owners clearly take pride in their home, and it comes with everything needed for a great stay. There were 3 families staying with a total of 6 adults and 6 kids. We stayed for a ski vacation, and the location was perfect-just a short walk to the Soaring Eagle lift. Communication with the owners was fast and accurate. Everything in the description is as it states. Bonus that we did not know about was the large pantry to store food for the week! We will be back!

Amazing Property!

Cubs Den is a fantastic place to stay. Although we didn't have much snow left for our ski trip, we still had a ton of fun and were able to enjoy the hot tub, and have a fire one night! This place is well stocked with anything you'd need in the kitchen! We will be back next season!
