"We were very pleased with our stay, the home was well stocked with all that you need. The kitchen was very nice, bathrooms as well. We had our grandchildren and there were plenty of board games for them when we were inside. The views were breathtaking with the sunset. One thing, there was no garbage service, so plan on taking it with you "

"It was basically closed for the season. No one there to answer questions. Restaurant said it would open but did not. No coffee. No breakfast. No one. "

"I’m basically giving a review of our stay one year ago as we didn’t stay there this year because the ski area closed early. Jose Luis is a great host and it’s a nice house in a good area. Close to the ski resort. It was a bummer that Dodge Ridge closed early and we had to eat the entire cost of the stay"

"This place is amazing! We're a party of 6 adults who visited in March 2026 for a ski weekend. Everyone in the group commented how nice the place is. Probably the nicest vacation rental we've ever been to!The host was communicative and easy to work with. 10/10 would definitely stay here whenever we come to Dodge Ridge. "

"We took advantage of the "Book 2 nights get the 3rd night free" in March, which was a great value. Without getting the 3rd night free, it might feel a bit too expensive.This was our second time staying at this cabin, and we had a great experience both times. Two years ago, it was MLK weekend and there was so much snow, we could sled down the hill in between the neighbors' houses! This time (in March), there was barely any snow and it was a balmy 70 degrees and sunny every day. There was just barely enough snow to ski in t-shirt weather at Dodge Ridge.The cabin is spacious and fun for two families to share. The bottom two bedrooms get really cold at night, so be prepared to either feel like you're camping outside, or use one of the space heaters. The upstairs loft sleeps 6 and is quite cozy. The kitchen is equipped with plenty of mismatched dishes, utensils, and pots — it's just a little haphazard and can take a minute to find everything.Darlene was helpful and easy to communicate with. The checkout process was especially simple. We returned a second time and would definitely return in the future, too. Thank you for hosting us!"

"We found the Lazy Bear Den comfortable and welcoming. Kids enjoyed the activities, adults enjoyed the comfortable beds and well provisioned kitchen."

"It’s was a very nice place. We walked to the snow park and enjoyed the day. "

"Darlene and her team are world-class hosts! After some heavy winter weather impacted our first trip, the crew not only spent hours helping us get our car out of the snow, Darlene was incredibly flexible with rescheduling. It was the perfect home base for our ski trip to Dodge Lodge.The cabin itself quiet, serene and cozy. We especially loved warming up by the fireplace after a long day on the slopes. We will definitely be back!""

"Great location near Dodge Ridge. Nice classic A-frame ski lodge. "
