Great place.. So relaxing.

Decided to get away from the city and enjoy some time with my family. This place was so amazing. That patio is top notch and the location was great. The communication with the owner was great and the overall experience was beautiful. Thank you again.

Wonderful Hawaiian Condo

Our stay was so wonderful in this clean beautifully decorated Condo. We loved hearing the wave action all the while there. The owner Mo was helpful in every way. The condo was well stocked and everything was so comfortable. The Bed, the shower the living room. The grounds are lush and well kept. And the sunsets are so beautiful. We hope to return soon. Mahalo

Bear Escapes II - Sugarloaf, CA

First of all… let me say that the owner (Cory) went above and beyond to make my family’s stay great. Not only was the cabin perfect for all of us, but our dog loved it too! We couldn’t have asked for a better location. It’s situated in Sugarloaf with a short walk to both the nearest market (Easy’s General Store) and sports bar & grill (Kallan’s). The location delivers the best of both worlds. Only a 10 minute drive to the Village and resorts, or a 2 minute drive away from the crowds to find a hillside for our kiddos to go sledding. We knew we had found a hidden gem when my kids asked “can we come back to this same cabin next year?!” Looking forward to our next stay at Bear Escapes II. Thanks Cory!

We loved staying at the cabin. It's very lovely with little details that make you smile. You can tell the owners take time to prep it and ensure that it's comfortable for the guests. Cory's communication is what sets it apart. From the get-go he was very responsive and made me feel like it was OK to ask all the questions. The cabin has all the necessities. My youngest son and I played multiple rounds of corn hole every night and I was grateful that Cory included that game for the guests to bond over and enjoy. Another key for us was the thermostat worked well and the temp in the cabin was up to our liking at all times. Also, great feature was that smart TV had most of the subscription services available and signed in, so I did not have to remember my passwords and struggle with that every night. Overall, a very nice place (well kept) and a very nice host that made our stay memorable and enjoyable. Thank you, Cory!!!
