The pictures are completely accurate but cannot begin to show the spectacular beauty of this home. The little touches at every turn, the sheer spaciousness, the quiet neighborhood and nearby trails. It was so hard to leave when our 4 days were up and return to the real world, we would return in a heartbeat, fantastic memories, great hosts nearby and the owners were just so delightful, I hope you get a chance to be here too someday. We can't wait to visit again.
Bear Haven was fantastic. We loved our time there and felt that the listing was very accurate. The main family room was spacious enough for us all to enjoy time together playing games in front of the fire and watching movies. There were a bunch of board games under the coffee table in the family room that my kids were thrilled about. There were plenty of blankets available for us to cuddle up in, so we felt cozy and warm the whole weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed for us to make delicious meals, although I was surprised there was no cooking oil, just because it had everything else you would need. Fortunately, I brought my own little bottle of olive oil so we were covered. This is not a complaint at all...just a tip for anyone planning to stay there to bring some cooking oil. Bear Haven is in a lovely location with beautiful views. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning for another family snow weekend!
Nice place to relax after a day of skiing, sledding or playing in the snow. Neighborhood is quiet and clean. Close to Bear Mountain Ski Resort and just a short drive into town for stores and restaurants.
This property was perfect for my family. We had me and my husband, 2 kids and my mom/dad and brother. The property was very clean and the master bed was very comfortable. Plenty of space and the side yard is a great area to play in. It was a very easy and accommodating check in and the hosts were very nice and responsive.
Great cabin for our family - 6 adults 2 grandchildren
We had a great time and this property is even better in person. It has everything you could need to live comfortably and cook. It a luxury away from home. Pam was amazing and Mark was an exceptional host.
you have a beautiful home, we had a wonderful time. wil recommend to family and friends.
This property was just as advertised. Phenomenal. Great cabin, clean, amazing cabin decor, and great location. Four of us stayed here - My wife, two children (ages 9 and 11), and I. We couldn't have had a better time. The cabin was outstanding. The location was amazing - quiet and peaceful. And it had just snowed so we had snowball fights, built a snowman, and hiked the nearby trail! Then at night we played board games, watched movies, and played on the table top arcade game - so much fun!!! Mark was communicative and helpful. We took full advantage of his recommendations for dining and had a wonderful lunch at Get the Burger! Property manager Pam was fantastic, helpful, and prompt. If you want a perfect family cabin experience, this is it! Thank you Mark, Susie, and Pam!
We had a wonderful stay and trip thanks to this charming property. The area recommendations from the property owners were spot on and had easy to follow directions on how to use everything on the property. The TV had a plethora of apps that were ready to watch including paramount +, youtube tv, hbo, disney, etc. My kids also enjoyed the video games & board games. The hiking trail is very close and allowed for some fun snowball fights. The heater in this place is no joke, you will NOT be cold. We actually had to lower the thermostat at night because we were too hot. Highly recommend the property to others and will be back.
Thank you
