Meghan A.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Place could use a very very thorough deep clean, with things like bath mats looking like they hadn’t been washed. Dryer was broken which was not disclosed ahead of time and all of the towels were still moist at check in. Lots of broken kitchenware, which was a bummer. Also did not sleep 16 as advertised - not sure how they determined that number.

We receive access code five minutes before check in time. I needed to process payment outside of VRBO platform. Dryer was not working. Place needs an update to reflect pictures on advertisement. We were allowed to check out later than 10 am on a spring forward date.

Everything was neat and clean and beautiful! We definitely want to book again next year. We usually book with Meredith but are very happy with our experience this year.The only thing I would suggest is the pool cue sticks need to be replaced or fixed. There was only one that we could use and we love to play pool!!!!

Fun for all ages!

We had a great Thanksgiving stay here with 7 adults and 8 kids. The kids loved the pool and poker tables upstairs. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. We really appreciated all the pans, bowls, utensils etc. that the kitchen is stocked with. We did have to go to the store for some basics, such as salt and pepper, dish towels, coffee filters, and paper towels for the week. The upstairs bedroom mattress was comfortable but the downstairs mattresses were really firm and not as comfortable (I believe the bunk beds were fine). This house is a great location, a few hundred yards to Snow Summit. The hot tub worked great. I think we used it 2-3 times during the week and never had a problem. This house has a big garage and driveway which are nice since you can't park on the street. Master bedroom has a huge shower, separate bathtub, and his/hers toilets. Very luxurious. The upstairs bathroom did not have a working lock, however. Ultimately our family had a wonderful time here!

2 Night Stay at Running Bear

Very beautiful house and great walking distance to Snow Summit. It was a little older, but overall great condition. However, the jacuzzi did not work and that was a main reason for our stay here. Called Saturday morning for maintenance and they had someone there by 1PM. He said it was good to go, but when we came home, Jacuzzi was still not working. Called again to let them know and they said they needed a part to fix it and would be a couple of days before they could get it. I called Sunday the day we were leaving to ask for partial discount because of the jacuzzi, but have still not heard back. Overall nice place, but bummed about the jacuzzi.

Great house for multiple families

Four families stayed at Running Bear for a short ski weekend and the house was perfect. The rooms were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and the kids loved the treehouse.

Great family fun

Awesome house. High end, tons of space. Beautiful kitchen and patio. Location was great. Quiet, close to everything this is a great rental for a large family or friend get together. We will choose this location again.
