'Bear's Den’ Cabin w/ Fenced-In Yard: 5 Mi to Lake

Reviews

• Nice property but needed some attention

  3/5

  This was a nice property, big kitchen but it needed some attention. Not quite at the level of other evolve properties we stayed in the past. Just needed a good cleaning/dusting. We seemed to be the first renters for the season and in fairness—this area had historic snow and many businesses had only started to open

  7-10 days before our arrival. The yard is fenced in and we were happy for the dog but very steep so not accessible from

  the deck or other house entrances. Overall a good stay with some adjustments.

• Lovely home in a great area...

  5/5

  We enjoyed our time at the Bear's Den. The kitchen was well equipped and the very large "great room" on the first level is perfect for the family to spend time together while also being able to relax and spread out at the same time. The views from the deck were incredible and we enjoyed doing some star gazing.

  Something to be aware of: you have to go downstairs to access the bedrooms. Due to the design of the staircase (with rails, and landing) , this was NOT an issue and our elderly parents were able to navigate the stairs with ease.

  The home had numerous personal touches - wood carved bears, a little piano, some antiques.

  Finally, we liked the area the home was in. Close to Lake Arrowhead Village area, but not too close... it was a nice quiet neighborhood with a nearby walking trail.

• Very nice location

  5/5

• Beautiful home and views

  5/5

  Excellent mountain house. Lot's of space, beautifully decorated, and an amazing huge deck to hang out on, BBQ, or just enjoy the mountain views. Would definitely recommend!

• Fabulous mountain home for our family trip!

  5/5

  This is such a great home for our family vacations in the mountains! We’ve stayed here before and we always have a wonderful time but the house was nicer than ever this time around.

  We were a large group - our family, my sister’s family, and my mom, but we didn’t feel crowded. We used all three bedrooms and the sofa bed in the living room and everyone slept well.

  The snow was so heavy during our stay, we weren’t able to get to the ski slopes or any restaurants, but luckily there were sleds and saucer sleds in the garage for us to borrow and we went sledding on the hiking path down the road. The kitchen is well-equipped so we cooked all of our meals at home. And there are lots of board games and card games in the house so we took advantage of those to stay entertained. And the views out the windows are so nice - it was a fun mountain trip even when we were just sitting in the house!

  Thanks so much - we’ll be back!
