Our family of 4 stayed here on our Spring Break ski trip. Super cute condo and I was amazed at how well they utilized the space. It is small but suited all our needs. Condo was well-stocked with plenty of towels, pillows, etc. Convenient location walking distance to the lifts. Our youngest loved the cozy bunk room.The only issue we had was the noisy neighbors upstairs. We could hear every move they made and it was difficult to sleep at night until they settled down. One night they were stomping around until after midnight. Not the owner’s fault, but you can hear everything. I won’t rent a bottom floor condo again.

Cute condo that was very conveniently located. Everything was clean. Didn’t get a lot of sleep due to the very loud upstairs neighbors. Apparently the hot tub in this building is the one all the resort locals poach, as everybody in town knows the door code. These issues aren’t the fault of the condo owner, nonetheless it’ll probably keep us from coming back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the condo clean, cute, and conveniently located. We’re truly sorry about the noise from the upstairs neighbors and the experience with the hot tub—both can certainly impact a stay, and we understand how frustrating that must have been. While these matters are outside the individual owner’s control, we appreciate you bringing them to our attention so we can continue to communicate concerns to the HOA and resort. We’re grateful you stayed with us and wish you all the best in your future travels.

I can’t say enough about how great Cozy Bear Den was. Whoever designed the layout thought about everything. There is so much storage, everything you need in the kitchen, great appliances, quality fixtures, warm decor, multiple trays for wet boots. It is a full home. Our family of 4 slept so comfortably- wife and I in the master, our 9-year-old daughter loved the bunk bed, and our 12 year old son had the large fold out bed in the living room all to himself… and it is a very comfortable mattress, particularly for a fold out. We went to the hot tub every day, and were the only ones there every time. It’s a very short walk to the bottom of the ski lift, and we skied downhill pretty much back to the front door! We will be back to this one!

We've added a stack back into the condo and apologize we missed leaving one for your stay. We're glad the handwritten one worked just fine :) We do provide a traditional drip coffee maker and starter supply of coffee for every stay.

Super easy access to skiing, just a few minutes walk out the front door and you are the base of the high speed 6 pack.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location and amenities of the condo. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the lack of cable or satellite TV and spotty wifi. Purgatory Resort manages the wifi in the area and have mentioned if there are a lot of people in town, it can slow it down a bit. I know this can be frustrating.
