Smokey, Yogi, and Winnie the Pooh themselves couldn't create a better bear-themed haven.

This home nestled in the beautiful woods of Alpine Lake resort is a real treat!! It was beautifully clean, well appointed with linens, kitchenware and foodstuffs…not to mention great kid things and games!! Everything was thoughtfully done and no expense was spared here. We would absolutely come back if we’re in the area again. Thanks so much!!

Peacefully relaxing

We had a wonderful time at Grin and Bear it. The house was well stocked and very clean. It had everything we needed for a quiet and relaxing getaway and DK made himself available for any questions. I highly recommend staying here if you travel to Alpine Lake.

New Year's Getaway

The property was amazing! Our group had a wonderful time cooking meals together, sitting around the big table playing card games, which was provided in the game room and then of course we spent late nights shooting pool and bowling on the Wii. I definitely will recommend this house to all friends and family.

The house was one of the cleanest that I have ever rented! The kitchen was wonderful since there was everything available that I would have at my own home kitchen!! The house was tastefully decorated and upscale in terms of furniture and amenities and supplies.The location in Alpine Lakes Resort is great for walking and the Resort dining room and bar was available to enjoy as was the inside swimming pool. The Resort is close to Oakland MD which had its Autumn Glory Festival this past weekend so we attended that.The host was extremely responsive and helpful.Highly recommend this property!

Winter Stay

With this being my first time ever booking with a rental app this was an amazing experience! The pictures do not do this property justice, as the inside is very up to date, extremely clean, and the perfect spacious place for multiple people. The host was extremely communicative and made sure we had the best stay. We have already considered booking the same place again.

Review in Terra Alta

The house was amazing and looked just like the pictures. The house is in a very nice neighborhood that has a security entrance. The house was decorated nicely and made you feel at home. I went during a time where there was 2-3 feet of snow on the ground so the lake was covered. There wasn’t much to do in the town itself you had to drive 15-30 minutes which was fine. If you and your family are looking for a nice quiet weekend get away this is definitely the place. I would love to see what this town looks like in the summer.
