10 mins to Ski with Spa AC Firepit Hammock Dogs
** 8 mins away to Snow Summit downhill mountain biking. SUMMER IS HERE! **
** Ask about discounted STAY-TIL-SUNSET extension until 8pm**
KnottyBear Haus - Enjoy a modern rustic retreat in our unique cabin w/ hot tub, firepit, hammock (in summer) in private yard. Surrounded by charming wood-paneled walls, you’ll immerse yourself in a reimagined cabin with modern amenities.
Behind a door disguised as a faux bookcase is a secret Marvel x DC Superhero `Chill Cave` w/ big screen TV where superheros hang out in our multi-verse.
Catch a glimpse of the famed Gold Mountain thru the whispering pines. Sip cocoa on the daybed under the starry sky. Create memories around the firepit table.
You will have the entire cabin and private fully-fenced yard to yourself and greeted with a “welcome snack tray” to start your mountain vacation.
Our guests range from couples looking for a tranquil and romantic escape to families coming for a weekend getaway, from outdoor adventurers to world travelers. Make your relaxing mountain getaway come true!

Some FAQs:
Can we cook at the cabin?
Absolutely! We have a fully equipped kitchen upgraded with a new stainless-steel stove and oven and a large refrigerator. Besides stocking our kitchen with pots, pans, mixing bowls, plates, glassware, silverware, utensils, toaster, microwave, you`ll also find salt, pepper, cooking oil and several BBQ spices. Wait, there`s more - wine glasses, cheese boards and knives, insulated mugs (great for the back deck) and a cocktail bar set.
Show off your grill master’s skills with our gas BBQ grill at the back deck.
To give you the freshest aroma, we also provide Starbucks French Roast whole coffee beans and a coffee grinder. Sugar, Splenda, creamer and a drip coffeemaker are all ready for you.

Yes! We provide all the linens, duvets and extra blankets for the beds and a full set of towels for each guest. If you need more, just ask! Our cleaning crew has everything set before you arrive and adhere to cleaning protocols to make sure everything is cleaned afterwards.
Is the cabin good for children (or the inner children in adults)?

Is the cabin pet friendly?
