Great view. Host was quick to respond. Place was well kept.

Everything was great with the condo and we would definitely stay again. Our only suggestion would be for the owner to install a thermostat that can be adjusted remotely so the unit can be warmed prior to guest arrival. When we arrived, the outside temperature was in the 30s and the inside temperature was 55, and it took approximately seven hours for the unit to warm up. Other than that, everything was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay.

Stayed in this condo and took kids to skiing in sugar mountain. Location is great which you can walk to the slopes. Condo has everything you might needed. It was clean and views from the porch is gorgeous. We recommend it and would definitely be back.

I think this property was made specifically for us, on the perfect weekend we chose. The stars aligned perfectly, and we found Bear Pause! We actually drove up the mountain and got to trudge through snow up to our knees with snow in our hair as we came to our weekend paradise. Our friends who had never seen snow thought it was super cool (literally and figuratively) and so did we!
