Great for a family!
Our extended family and dear friends gathered in this lovely and warm home for a long weekend – 7 adults + 5 kids under 7. We had a blast. The house was well equipped and perfect with lots of nooks and crannies for kids to explore, which was important since we were delighted by 28 inches of snow on our first night. The owners are helpful and made the experience wonderful for everyone! Our little kids have not stopped talking about our magical weekend.

Great ski house
Beautiful house with lots of character. The house was very clean and a short drive to Stratton. Plenty of space for multiple families. The only issues were some uneven heating (some rooms would get too hot/cold) and the oven got way hotter than indicated for baking.

Great stay at the Bear House
We had a really nice weekend at the Bear House - very spacious yet cozy home, great views, and great location. The temperature was too cold when we arrived, but the owners quickly reached out on how best to heat up the home and we were fine after that. Would stay again!

lovely house; beautiful view
This is a lovely house. Great shape; pretty much just like the pictures in the photos. There were 16 of us in our group, and there was room for everyone. I read in previous reviews that some people were hot here. We didn't have this problem at all. It was 85 during the day, but it was cool at night so there was no issue. We had a wonderful time at this fantastic house.

Great family week at the Bear Ski House!
We had a great family vacation to celebrate my Mom's birthday! To start: the owners are 5 stars. Very helpful and accommodating when we needed to communicate or get help. The good: we had a great time! There were 14 of us total, ranging in age from 1 to 80. There was plenty of room, and the kitchen (in particular) was fully functional and had everything we needed. The location is great - convenient to lots of towns and attractions. The bedrooms/beds were all very clean and comfortable. The bathrooms were busy, but also clean and fully functional. The not-as-great: this house gets hot (really hot) in the summer. The owners provide many upright fans, and several of the windows have screens, but the upper floors of the house retain heat in the summer. We gave my parents (70+) the master bedroom, but the (only) air conditioner wasn't working, so their room stayed pretty warm until the middle of the night. The trash situation is also interesting, due to the raccoons. The trash must be kept in large cans a utility room (not in the house), but after a hot week in July ... Like all rentals, if the prior group leaves the house in rough shape, it can be difficult for the owners and their helpers to turn it over effectively/completely. This was the case for us: lots of leftover food/beers in one of the refrigerators, broken chair(s) by the firepit, grill had to be repaired. In every case, the owners and caretaker did their best to address the issues quickly. Overall, it's a very nice house for a group, and the owners are very helpful and responsive. I would likely stay here again ... just during cooler months :)
