Perfect Weekend Getaway

Our family stayed 3 nights and it was such a great place to stay. We came with our dog and 2 kids, ages 5 & 8. The kitchen had everything we needed, there were plenty of blankets, the fireplace was cozy, and the yard was perfect for the kids to explore. We loved the location! It was a quick drive up the mountain to take the kids sledding and we visited the big trees state park nearby. Highly recommend!

Great time in the trees

The house is close to the snow line meaning there was some snow but not so much that driving/parking/walking was precarious. There's a nice open kitchen/family room so we all played games together instead of the kids (18/19 teens) hanging out separately. And the pup appreciated not only the bear valley snow but walking the Arnold Rim Trail close to home.It's an easy drive to bear valley -- we skied each day.
