Restful Bedrooms

Bear Necessities Lodge includes two full bathrooms. The main level bathroom features a tub/shower combination, particularly useful for families with younger children. Upstairs, the second bathroom offers a jetted soaking tub with a handheld wand. It's important to note that the main-level bathroom provides the home's only standing shower, ensuring clarity for guest preferences.

Outdoor Living
The wraparound deck is a highlight, offering a true extension of the living space. Families enjoy morning coffee in the rocking chairs, outdoor meals at the dining area, and frequent wildlife spotting. A long covered section of the deck allows for year-round enjoyment, even in variable weather. For outdoor cooking, a Traeger pellet grill is provided, along with pellets. When fire bans are not in effect, a Solo Stove fire pit, with firewood included, creates a perfect spot for evening gatherings under the stars. The one-acre forest lot backs directly onto a greenbelt, enhancing the sense of privacy and connection to nature.

Your Work-From-Anywhere Setup
Reliable, fast fiber internet is available throughout the cabin, supporting streaming, video calls, and remote work. The various seating areas, including the dining table and living room, can serve as comfortable spots for getting work done if needed.

The ground level offers an additional space for recreation and convenience. Here you'll find a ping-pong table for friendly competition, a washer and dryer with detergent provided, and an extra refrigerator and chest freezer for additional food storage. This area also serves as a practical gear storage space for skis, bikes, strollers, and coolers, making it easy to manage your outdoor equipment. It provides a designated zone for laundry and fun, keeping the main living areas clear.

Everything was great except the drive from Angelfire up to the cabin. It was rough you could not go over 5 mph and it added 45 min each day to our travel to ski and back for only a couple miles.

About the host

Host profile image
We live in Texas and fell in love with Costa Rica over 7 years ago and we decided to start part-time life in Costa Rica. My brother and I expanded to owning a home in Angel Fire, NM after we visited one time and fell in love with the Enchanted Circle. We absolutely love the mountains in Angel Fire, and the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica!

Why they chose this property

This home is located on a flat piece of property up a mountain. There are homes on 1-3 acre lots in the near vicinity. The area comprises of mostly treed lots with a scattering of homes spread around the streets leading up to this semi-secluded space! Wildlife abounds where you may see mule deer, turkeys, and lots of different birds during the winter.

What makes this property unique

The home is located approximately 4.8 miles from the ski resort parking with excellent unpaved roads. The elevation of the home is 9,712 feet! During the winter, enjoy sleds and snow molds, and during the rest of the year a fire pit is welcoming on those cool evenings. During the winter months, a 4-wheel drive vehicle is required due to snow and ice. There is ample parking at the end of the driveway, beside the fire pit, and of course on the driveway. The driveway winds through trees giving you a great view of the property and the green field behind the property. Cameras are located outside the home for everyone's safety and benefit; there are no cameras located inside the home.
