    The location was amazing! We loved the convenience of just walking out the Alpen and down to the lift. The home has plenty of space, bedrooms and bathrooms. We loved that the entry way floors were heated, helped dry our boots and clothes! Some minor improvements would be a cleaner hot tub.. I was a tad cautious about even going in. Overall a dated feel in the home. Had a wonderful time! Thank you bear necessities!!

    Bear Necessities was everything we thought it was and more. We’ve seen it for many years and jumped on booking an early rental this year. On the slopes, plenty of room for our group and we hope to be back again soon. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

    We had a great time! The house has plenty of room for our large family. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make meals. Foosball was a lot of fun for all of us. The only negative is could have been cleaned better.

    We've stayed in trailsides before but Bear Necessities is the closest to Lift 1. The little ones could ski or sled right outside the door. Everyone could watch the lift and see skiers from inside. Cabin stayed warm despite sub-zero temperatures. Appreciated access to all the bathrooms from each bedroom, the second living area, and large area in kitchen where everyone had a place to sit. If Lift 1 had not been open, you can get to Lift 2 or 3 although not as convenient. But a good Plan B. There was plenty of parking spaces. Some parked by the cabin and others were down by driveway and took the steps up. Loved that the two large areas for putting skis on were heated.

    Overall this property met our needs for a ski weekend with 5 couples. It is very spacious as described and the hot tub and sauna were awesome after a day of skiing and snowshoeing. One disappointment was being told upon arrival the dishwasher was broken with a new one coming the next week. We ended up buying paper plates to avoid doing all the dishes by hand. The location was awesome being a ski in ski out. The house and furnishings looked a little tired for the rental cost.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve stayed here many times and it’s special to our family. We live Bear Necessities! We discovered Big Powderhorn 40 years ago, and have stayed in the same house for the last 10 years.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This location and overall condition of the cabin was wonderful! I was unable to receive any response from contacts for the rental via either email or VRBO direct messaging which was very concerning. The bookshelves were a mess and completely disheveled, which we reorganized for future guests. Great place, poor communication by property management/rental.
