Ski trip

Our family stayed here for a Thanksgiving ski trip. This was the perfect location. We had most of our meals in and the kitchen was fully equipped. The bedrooms were the perfect size for our family.

Perfect Ski Trip

The place was great for our group, we all had privacy of our own bedroom and bathroom but able to spend time together in the kitchen/living room. Very close to a lot of different hills and was able to relax and the end of the day in the shared hot tub. Thank you for opening your home to us!

Cozy Home

We enjoyed our stay at PapaBears. The house was well equipped and very homey. We received prompt replies from the owner with any questions we had. It snowed 6 of the 7 days we were there - someone came by early morning to shovel the stairs leading up to the house and the driveway was cleared by the time we returned from skiing. I highly recommend a stay at PapaBears!

Beautiful location, large space, great price

Overall the perfect location for a friend’s trip right in the center of the I70 ski resorts! Condo was clean and tidy with great amenities. There was even enough space for 3-4 vehicles in the garagedriveway. Could use a little updating with some of the outlets being loose but nothing that actually impacted our stay. Communication was easy and fast and the snack basket was a nice touch. Would return in a heartbeat.

Great location for a family ski trip

We enjoyed the short drive to Copper Mountain and the proximity to Dillon and Breckinridge. We used the clubhouse hot tubs multiple times during our stay and made use of the washer and dryer in the unit which was important to us.

We really enjoyed Pappa Bears house. Plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the large great room as we spent every evening in it playing guitars and talking about our ski day. I will definitely be looking to return here again.

Colorado stay

House fitted us perfect for our needs. We had 4 adults and 5 kids and didn’t feel cramped at all. Kids enjoyed all the bears. Nice large dining table! Kids loved the pool! Warmest pool ever! It was so nice and not crowded when we where there. Garage was nice to keep ski clothes in and had nice heaters to warm up wet clothes. Beds were comfy! Would definitely recommend this house!

Perfect for our family to stay a month in Frisco. Skied Copper Mountain and was super convenient. It was nice to have a garage for all of our gear. Having the extra living space was great too for our two teens.

Mountain Retreat

We stayed for 10 days as a break from the Arizona summer heat. Papa Bear’s on a quiet residential street and is a clean, comfortable, lived in 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhouse that is generously stocked with everything you need — spices, condiments, detergents, paper towels and napkins, toiletries, SNACK BASKET, games, puzzles. The garage was handy to store our e-bikes. We loved the location which is walking distance to Main Street Frisco, the elementary school playground, hiking and biking trails.

Wonderful home away from home

PapaBears was the perfect getaway for our family. The layout of the home allowed for our son and friend to have the lower level to themselves to hang out at night. The home is situated in a quiet community with nice views. It is close to Frisco and less than 15 minutes from great ski areas. The kitchen is well-stocked. Our bed was comfortable and there was good water pressure. Don was very quick to respond and take action when there was an issue with the heating system. I would stay at PapaBears condo again.

First time at PapaBears

We just finished our 4 night stay at PapaBears home. Overall, we were very happy with PB. The location in Frisco was convenient to Copper Mountain and Frisco is a nice town to be in. The home worked very well for our Father/Son trip. The boys used the lower level room which has three beds and a full bath and the 2 Dads each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Much attention to detail has been considered by the owners. The communal spa was close by and had an indoor heated pool, 3 outdoor and 1 indoor hot tubs, a wet and dry sauna. For those needing good wifi, it was very fast. If I get a chance to go back to Copper or any of the surrounding ski areas, I would stay at Papa Bears again without hesitation. Thank you Don and Carol!

Great location and accommodations for the value.

I have been traveling to Summit County for many years. I've rented in Dillion, Silverthorne, Keystone, and Frisco. This season my group lucked into staying at Papabears. Our party consisted of 4 adults and 4 kids ages 7-11. Truth be told, I was a bit concerned that the condo would be a bit cramped for a group of our size. As it turned out, the layout of Papabears worked very well for us. Our 4 kids shared the 3rd bedroom and den, while the 2 sets of parents each had bedrooms on their own levels. The layout of the main living area and dining room was very open with large windows and high ceilings. The kitchen was tight with two cooks but it has a nice stove and was well stocked with pans, utensils, and sharp knives (I've learned to bring my own). Having a large capacity washer and dryer in the house was also a very nice touch. After spending a couple of days "spring skiing" with temps in the low 60's the ski clothes where kind of ripe. It was nice to not have to travel, or pay extra, for laundry. The clubhouse at the condo complex also fit the needs of our group well. Our kids swam in the pool while the adults played "Goldilocks" switching from hot tub to hot tub finding the one with "just right" temperature. We also played racquetball, enjoyed the sauna, and found the "steam room". For those that have not traveled to Summit County before, Frisco is a great central location. We never ski the same resort twice in a trip and this year was no exception. Breck, Loveland, Vail, and Beaver Creek all made our list to ski this season as well as a few "back country" runs from Loveland Pass. Papabears is run and maintained by the owners, not a management company. It was very evident from when we first walked in the door that this was a second home, not just a rental property. Everything was well maintained, nicely decorated, and homey. To top it all off I even received a call from the owners the day prior to my trip updating me on weather and warning us of an impending storm. The small touches mean so much. We will for sure look to stay at Papabears the next time we are in Summit County.

Great place for family

Overall it was a great place. The kitchen was well stocked. Having a bedroom on each floor was wonderful for a large family. Great location, near hiking and biking trails. We did have some problems with maintenance. Two of the toilets had problems with water continuously running unless we went inside the tank. Also one of the outlets in master bedroom below window did not work. Also master bathroom light was flashing off and on. It was still a wonderful place for a family to stay. The owner was very helpful.

Papabear Spring Getaway

Beautiful property in the heart of all the popular ski resorts and amazing hiking trails. Surrounded by enormous trees and amazing mountain views, PapaBears' is centrally located. We arrived to a very nice, handwritten welcome note by Don and Carol accompanied by trail mix and chocolate. All instructions for inside the home, amenities and local happenings were posted on the refrigerator. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed to cook, just like home. We enjoyed the hot tub at the Club House which was a short drive (walking distance too). It is a great place to stay and enjoy with family and friends. I recommend taking your own pillows and sheets/bed spreads if you can pack it. The pillows weren't soft nor fluffy and the sheets and bedspreads had the smell of old fabric stored away for a long time. The chest of drawers in the bedroom all the way on the top floor is falling apart so I couldn't unpack completely. The bathrooms could use some updating. Also, if you have allergies like I do, beware there are stuffed bears decorating the top floor bedroom, not sure how much or how often they are dusted but I had to make sure to take an antihistamine every day for the sneezing to subside the first day we arrived and keep at bay the rest of our stay. Overall, our experience staying at PapaBears' was awesome!

Love PapaBears!

We were welcomed to this lovely home with a personal note and treats. It was very clean, spacious and all we had hoped for. There are several spices, etc available, and plentiful dishes and cooking implements. I can't say enough good things about PapaBears. Hopefully you like bears if you stay here, because there are many scattered about in the decoration. We enjoyed them! :-)

Perfect Location

We stayed at Papa Bear's for a generational family ski trip. It was a fantastic location: close to Frisco Adventure Park, Copper skiing, and Nordic skiing. The grandchildren had a great time in the clubhouse pool, playing in the snow and sledding at the Park. Thanks for being such wonderful hosts!
