Come visit us at Serenity at Bear Lodge, we would love to host you and your family!
Great home nestled in the mountains and forest. Great for anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the mountains!
Absolutely loved this cabin! It has a very homey feel, amazing views, great location that is close to tons of activities, and I would recommend to anyone!!
Was everything I was looking for and then some! Double deck with the best views and the stars at night! Peaceful and saw lots of birds, squirrel and chipmunk! The house was amazing, clean and the bear decor , my kids played pool all night during the stay. Was awesome
We had a great stay at this home. Great deck, with a great view. Plenty of space. Getting into the driveway there was a large bump from water erosion but other than that no problems.
The cabin is located in a lovely setting but still easy enough access of other various sites.
Absolutely terrific experience. The website doesn't do enough justice to the actual stay. Very happy with the whole stay and as a first time user will certainly look here first. 100% satisfaction!
From the moment we walked in, the cabin felt like home. The view from both levels of the deck was breathtaking! Every room was spotless, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all the essentials for cooking. Each day ended with a nice meal and a few games of pool. We hated to leave. We will definitely stay at this cabin if we are in the area again. It was a perfect addition to our amazing vacation!
Beautiful place. Quiet, wildlife, view is amazing
My wife and I and another couple enjoyed this VRBO for few days at the end of August. This was a very nice house with plenty of room for everyone. It was clean with plenty of supplies. The view out the back off the deck was absolutely stunning. The deck was very spacious with two levels. We saw deer and chipmunks and a bear from the deck in the distance. We also saw another bear crossing the road in front of us while heading for the house. The big boulders sitting around are very interesting too. The altitude at about 9100 feet takes some getting use to.
Very dated, wonderful view, extremely cluttered. Long dirt road to get to property. Management folks very good and responsive. This does not reflect on the property, but we are seniors that live at about 900 foot elevation at home. This property sits at 9200 ft. Altitude is debilitating after a few days. Our fault. Biggest plus is the amazing view from the back deck which could only be improved by having some decent chairs to sit there.
Beautiful view, double deck porch so nice. Cozy.
Amazing spot for a family get away! Only thing that could be improved in the driveway, but overall it was a great experience.
Great place to stay for a few friends. The view off the back deck was beautiful. The house was very well maintained and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice cabin with a great view from the deck. Property was as advertised. Very clean and well equipped. Comfortable. No issues with anything. Very quiet and peaceful. Check in was simple. Needs a tinhorn on the driveway. Fairly deep drainage ditch across entrance. Internet was fine. I would definitely recommend this property with one caveat: according to my phone the cabin is at 9120 feet. We did not tolerate the altitude very well, but we are from Oklahoma and live at 970 feet. We did better on day 2 and 3. Just be aware of the altitude. I still give the property 5 stars and would recommend it. Saw a gray fox, chipmunks?, and deer near the cabin. Antelope just off the main road. A little over an hour to Royal gorge and under an hour to pikes peak.
We were looking for a place where we could meet up with our adult children and Serinity at Bear Lodge was perfect. We had plenty of space to visit and enjoy the view but we were also close enough to Florissant, Divide and Manitou Springs to enjoy those towns also. We would definitely stay here again. Everything was ready for us when we arrived and Mike and Ellen answered all our questions during the booking process and afterwards.
Great area to relax and slow down life for a little while. Many things to do in the area or just stay in the lodge and enjoy the view. We highly recommend this house for any group or family. The only negative is it is not big enough for more than 6 adults. It would be great for families of 8, but a little too small for 7-8 adults. Other than that, it was a great house in a beautiful area of Colorado.
We chose this location by proximity to Colorado Springs in order to visit with our son and daughter-in-law. The drive to the location was absolutely breathtaking. The solitude and peacefulness of the location is a 10/10. The home was cozy and not too far a drive from necessities. I would absolutely recommend and stay again.
This place was perfect for my husband and I to stay for our elopement in Colorado Springs, we actually had another place booked and had to cancel 16hrs before because the other listing didn’t say the person was just renting the basement instead of whole house and we’re lucky to find this property, check in/check out was easy and views were amazing. Little tip, have your check in code in your notes or written down, you may not get good service until you connect to Wi-Fi!
The property is in a quiet mountain setting with glorious views. Clean and comfortable and well supplied with linens and all of the expected household necessities.
