    This is a nice house with unbelievable views which can be enjoyed both outside and inside. The host is super-accommodating and available via text for anything. It was the perfect summer getaway and we can't wait to return again. Thank you for sharing your property with us.

    Very nice and cozy home. Very clean, comfortable, everything was functioning. Our kids loved it. Great forest, lake and slopes view. In nicely secluded area, 5min drive from village, everything was simply perfect for our 5day stay to relax and reconnect

    Birch Bear Lodge was very clean and felt very relaxing. The views were quite amazing! We loved using the hot tub and the decor was very nice and updated. A special touch were the stuffed bears throughout the house. Overall, it was a great place to stay. One thing, though, the cabin does not have A/C which would usually not be an issue, but our stay was at the end of July and the days were very hot. It was ok during the day with windows open and fans, but the 2 bedrooms upstairs didn’t really cool down in the evening since “heat rises” and made it hard to sleep at night. It would have been nice to have little window A/C in each rooms. We would have gladly paid a little extra to cover the electricity cost.

    The two night stay over for my birthday weekend was not nearly long enough. This home is quite a find, unpretentious and super comfortable with everything a person could ever want. What a pleasant oasis with spectacular views. Absolutely on the top of my list to revisit. We used every bit the house has to offer.

    Awesome place. Loved Big Bear. The only thing that was new to us was the hauling off your garbage and taking to dump site. Not fun.

    Birch Bear Lodge was the perfect getaway. Everything immaculate with great views in great location. We all enjoyed the ping pong table, pool table and jacuzzi. Wide open and spacious with plenty of room and everything you need.

    This home was clean, comfortable and perfect for a family. Plenty of space for our family of four and the game room was a huge plus for the kids to have somewhere to play. The views in the pictures don't do it justice- just gorgeous. Jacline was accessible, friendly and very helpful. We'll definitely return!
