Communication with the host was amazing! This condo works great for a group of 4! Thank you, DeAnne, for your amazing flexibility to work things out with us on this short notice!!

The location was great: 10 minutes to the ski resort. There was a mix-up with the communication, in that I didn't realize that we had to bring towels and sheets, but the host ended up accommodating us, which was very nice. The bunk beds weren't usable for my teen kids, but may be ok for small children. The place was very small.

Rick does an awesome job with plowing the snow and keeping the parking easy and accessible. Overall we had a great experience. The place is right opposite the lodge and general store.

Unfortunate experience with host

Very convenient location, we enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately, although we left the property cleaner than we found it, the host was not convinced by our photos and was not open to discussing and was quite disrespectful in their communications. It might be helpful to take pictures of the place as soon as you get there so you avoid any issues with the host.

Not a 5-star hotel, but a 5 star location

It's all about the location, and the location doesn't disappoint - you're a couple minutes walk from the Bear Valley shuttle bus that brings you to the slopes in less than 10 minutes, and you can actually ski down from the top of the mountain right to your accommodation (ok, you'll still need to walk a couple hundred feet). Inside - it's all pretty basic, and very compact, but our family of 5 fit in just fine for a week. Cooking is not too easy, but there are a couple of restaurants in the lodge. Our cleaning fee was waived, because I did the clean up myself, which was pretty easy with the detailed instructions provided by DeAnne. We would definitely come again!

Great stay in Bear Valley

Perfect location. Our family of four was very comfortable. It ended up raining while we were there but we were very entertained and cozy inside. There were games and movies. The kitchen had everything we needed. The host was extremely flexible and accommodating. Very good communication. The cleaning instructions were very easy and common sense stuff. Got my deposit back very quickly. We would love to return during the winter and other seasons. Looking forward to more Bear Valley adventures here in the future.

Great place for an overnight stay at BV

We stayed here in the summer (June) and just needed a place for one night while on a bike tour. DeAnne's self cleaning option was great for us as all other properties required a hefty cleaning fee even for 1-2 nights! Normally sheets are BYO, but DeAnne provided sheets for us as we couldn't carry them while biking. The unit itself is small but comfortable and cozy. We didn't cook, but the unit had plenty of kitchen utensils, etc. Wifi was good. DeAnne was prompt with contacts and refunded our cleaning deposit with no issues. Would recommend for a reasonable place to stay at BV!

Great deal, great stay; don't let the price fool you!

With all other listings being close to double in price or more, I thought this had to be too good to be true. But I took a chance, and it paid off!Firstly, the location was very convenient, with Condo Bear (the building this condo is in) being right across from the lodge and shuttle stop.Secondly, DeAnne, the host, was very communicative and responsive, both before and during our stay.Thirdly, the condo had everything we needed: enough beds to comfortably sleep all four of us (up to 7!), a fully-equipped kitchen, and even a heated towel rack!Downsides? The water heater was smaller than expected, so we had to take quick showers or space them apart.The price may have been what lured me in, but the location, the host, and the condo itself made this a true gem.

Small but great location

The condo was in a great location directly across the Bear Valley Lodge. It was nice to have three restaurants right across the street at the lodge. Shuttle service took you to the Bear Valley ski resort in 10 minutes which was really convenient. The condo was small and very basic. The cabin needs updating. My son sat in a dining room chair and the back of it broke. I was afraid to make coffee because the coffee maker was loose from its holder. I was afraid to touch anything for fear it would break. It was nice of the condo owner to not charge a cleaning fee of $150 like most rentals. She gave a long list of items that should be cleaned which was more than manageable due to the small size of the condo. I would recommend this place to someone who was on a tight budget.

VrboOwner a répondu le 17 mars 2020
Heidi, Thank you so much for letting me know re: the chair -- it must've gotten broken by the renter before you and was put together so that it couldn't be seen before it was used. I am so sorry. I bought the set especially for the condo, to make it as comfortable as possible for families, only two years ago. To be honest, I'm pretty sad a chair is broken -- the set was expensive (far more than my own table at home and much, much newer!), but I want to provide nice things for people who spend their hard-earned money on a vacation at my condo. I'll have the chair fixed right away. Thanks also for letting me know about the coffeemaker. Because the unit slides into a holder mounted under the cabinet (to leave the counters open for cooking, etc.), if it slides forward at all, it just needs to be pushed back, but there's no way you could know that. I will include a note about that in my instructions going forward. Thank you for giving me the heads-up that that is not clear to visitors. I'm glad that you appreciate the effort I've made to offer a place that's affordable to those on a budget. I'm a single mom and have rented a lot of places with kids -- I understand how expensive it can get. I also know what I've needed when staying in a place where I plan to cook and so try to provide everything a visitor could need to cook for a family after a long day of hiking, skiing swimming, etc. Because that's why people come to Bear Valley -- to get outdoors. It's not about what's inside, it's all the great stuff that's just outside the door!

Winter wonderland

We had a great time at Deanne’s place. It was extremely clean, very well stocked in terms of all paper goods, cleaning supplies, and cooking utensils. It is very well located; across the street from the lodge and shuttle stop. Rick did an amazing job keeping the parking and pathways clear of snow and safe and available for the condo guests. No small feat as the days we stayed at Bear Valley saw the most December snow ever and over the holiday week too. Things I wish I knew: turn the heater and the gas stove all the way down at night, the first night I only turned the thermostat down to 60 and it was too toasty to sleep, the outlet that the tall skinny floor lamp near the dining room table is plugged into is a switched outlet. Important if you have phones plugged in. And (although this is super clear in the listing as pointed out by my partner and daughters once we got there) this condo is a large 1 room studio. It works well for 4 however and the lodge across the street has a large and very cool great room with a fireplace if you want to get away. Also, if it was not so snowy, the large deck would have been a great additional space. All in all a very nice place to stay.

À propos de l’hôte

Hôte : DeAnne

Image de profil de l’hôte

I have rented -- and written about -- vacation rentals all over the world so I know how it feels to invest hard-earned money in a vacation. And I also knows how it feels to spend huge amounts of money in cleaning fees -- that's why I offer my condo to people without cleaning fees if they self-clean.

It's very gratifying to host folks coming to the mountains to have fun. We are kindred spirits. And it's very gratifying to read reviews.

Another great Christmas vacation in the Bear Valley village
This is our second time staying at DeAnne's place. We enjoyed our stay very much. The new bed is a welcome touch. The room is perfect for a family of 4. Very warm and toasty. The location is great, walking distances to ski shuttle, Bear Valley Lodge and cross country ski. There was a little incident with the lock, but everyone, from the condo management to the host, were very helpful, and problem got resolved right away. Will stay again next year.


Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique

I want visitors to have a great time. I have been very careful to equip the condo with everything you might want to make your precious vacation days as comfortable and convenient as possible. That way you can spend more time having fun!
