Our family of 14 adults enjoyed a week stay at the Lodge, in August 2025. We returned after a similar week, three years ago, with most of the same group.The Lodge is easy to check in and out. We suggest a statement of the ease of exit, on site.The kitchen is well equipped for a large group of maximum capacity. The dining table does not. But there are other options. Like stools.Some felt the Wi-Fi was a bit slow. But, maybe that is a good thing for a vacation!We spent a lot of time at Lake Alpine. Overall, Excellent Must be beautiful in the winter!

10.0 / 10.0

We greatly enjoyed the house and close proximity to Bear Valley Ski Resort. We have young kids so we needed a close place in the event we had meltdowns at the slopes and needed to go back early. This was perfect. Lots of space and outdoor areas to explore far enough away from the highway. It's a short hike up to the house but just reframe as a workout and it does the trick. We'll definitely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

We had a wonderful stay in Bear Valley. It was very close to the ski area and the snow was awesome. I can't wait to stay here again!

10.0 / 10.0

The place is enormous and very well equipped. Jill was responsive and made sure we were well taken care of. it is a few minutes hike to get from the highway to the property, which personally I found as a bonus because it meant that there were no cars around the house, and the snow was clean and pristine for my kids to play right outside the cabin. We had 10 inches of snow while we were there and built an igloo. I’m looking forward to our next visit there.

I rent the cabin for the new year week. The cabin requires about 100 yards of walking due to the snow in the winter. It is a little tiring to carry all the stuff on foot. But the view from the cabin is beautiful and worth every ouch of it. The cabin has some wear and tear but the owner is very nice and responds to my questions/requests very quickly. I will definitely go back again.

8.0 / 10.0

The house was huge and the snow was amazing for the kids. Overall experience was great! I would definitely recommend this place and we will go again!! We had a blast and the space was perfect for 15 of us!

10.0 / 10.0

The house is in a great location and is very comfortable for a group. We enjoyed the renovated kitchen and made use of the many games on the game shelves.

6.0 / 10.0

Decent Stay for Last Minute Booking. There was plenty of parking in the summer months but not sure about winter months. Super close to Bear Valley which was great. The house was not as clean as I would like it because the babies or anyone who wasn't wearing a shoe inside the house had black feet by the end of the day. The worst part was there was no trash service, so we had to take the trash out to Bear Valley daily which was inconvenient. Other than that, the cabin served our needs and was decent for being last minute.

8.0 / 10.0

First off, I’d like to say that this home is beautiful. It is huge, with 5 beds per room (4), just in the upstairs area. There also 2 full baths. Once the lower level ( full 2nd kitchen, living area, bedrooms, laundry area, etc.) is renovated this home is going to be a dream! We traveled with our 5 year old and 2 year old and there was plenty of space to run and play, plus the perk of having a literal snow park in our front/side/back yard. The WiFi was fast and the movie/TV selections were perfect for my littles. It is about 30 mins from downtown Arnold and about 15mins south of Bear Valley Resort and Ski Area. The owner, Jill, is AMAZING!!! She went the extra mile (literally) when the pipes froze the morning we were supposed to check in. She traveled up to the home to make sure we would have running water upon arrival. The home was clean and I did not get that “ewww icky” feeling that you can sometimes get with rentals. Now… the downsides. There is little to Zero cell service once you hit Arnold. There is WiFi in the home, so make sure that your cell phone plan is set up for WiFi calling. The biggest downfall of this home 😩THE ROADS ARE NOT PLOWED AND THERE IS NO ASSIGNED PARKING🤦🏻‍♀️. Two homes are permanent residence who each have two cars.There is no where else to park in that lot, without having to dig out your own spot. When we arrived at the home it was pitch black out and the snow was deep! Having to haul in a sleepy two year old and 4 days worth of meals, snow gear, etc. in the freezing cold from quite a distance( which I’m sure is not quite the haul without the snow), was pretty challenging. Now back to the parking. We had parked in front of another car, but allowed for ample space for the other cars to move in and out of their spaces. In the pitch black, even if we’d known to dig our own spot, there was no way to see at that point anyways, so it wouldn’t have happened. The next morning (8am) neighbors came to tell us to move, explaining that there was no parking for renters unless we dug our own spot…. This was definitely not how we planned on spending the first morning of our trip… but it was what it was. We did what had to be done and dug out our own spot…. Just to have it taken by a renter that arrived after we had gone snowboarding that day. 😡 after the 2nd time digging out a spot, we were over it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Very clean, well stocked, tons of beds! One tip would be to bring a flash light when checking in after dark. Definitely would go again :)

10.0 / 10.0

this is our second time staying at the property. We all love it and will definitely try to come back. It’s a great location, close to the highway but totally secluded. We got so much snow this time and the kids had a blast. It’s a really comfortable house and everything is well organized. Everything is clean, the heat works super well and it’s a great space for family to enjoy some days in the snow. I also appreciated the fast Wi-Fi

10.0 / 10.0

The house is modern and easily accommodates a big group. Staying on the second level is nice in deep snow since there is still natural light.

8.0 / 10.0

This cabin was perfect for the entire family, very spacious and comfortable. It was great to have a snow park right outside your door. Location was not far from us at all and not hard to find. Jill was a great host and communicated all the details regarding our stay ahead of time,, she even let us check in earlier than what was established which was phenomenal considering we left really early to prepare in case weather conditions would delay our transit. The only thing negative that I would say was the parking situation was not ideal, there is no plowing up to the cabin so you have to park out in the road and walk up to the cabin. There was so much snow and the trek up and down with items made it a little exhausting and the neighbors were not friendly at all and gave us grief when we only had ONE car parked out front the rest of our vehicles parked at Bear Lodge and it was a pain having to drive there daily to shovel our cars out and move them to follow plow schedule. But overall the cabin itself is wonderful, we do plan to return just more prepared 😉 Would recommend.
