Our family had a wonderful time and enjoyed all the games, clean and spacious house, nearness to skiing, and the views!!We plan to rebook this Bear retreat!Our granddaughters enjoyed trying to find all the bears!
This is a wonderful cabin! We took our family to stay the weekend as part of their Christmas present. The owner was very accommodating. The kids went tubing and it wasn’t too far from the cabin. Everyone enjoyed the weekend! We will return.
Beautiful home just a quick drive to the rec centers/ski resort. Had a great time skiing and tubing, despite how little snow there was. Kitchen had all you need to prepare meals. Beautiful view outside from the deck. Great communication with owner. Would highly recommend.
The home was a perfect location for the 6 couples that stayed for my nephew and newest niece-in-law's wedding this weekend.. Well appointed, clean, and a great location. We enjoyed the home even though the weather prevented us from enjoying the wonderful deck. The basement gathering room was a perfect place for us to host a pre-wedding celebration for the couple and other family members staying in the area. The main living room was expansive and comfortable to sit and enjoy great conversation, and the kitchen was large with all the utensils needed. Thanks for an enjoyable place for us to call home for a 3 day fun filled weekend!
Had a great time at this cabin! The three levels accommodated us perfectly. My parents stayed on main level, my sister and family upstairs and my family in basement! Some of us went skiing and it was nice to be close to the resort. It did snow and the manager replied quickly to us about a snow shovel! We played games at the cabin. Was able to order pizza delivery! Overall we had a great time! Would recommend this location!
We were very pleased with our stay at Big Bear. It had a great home like feel. There is plenty of space to gather yet still have sections where groups can be separate. The location on the VRBO map puts it at a different location compared to the actual address but the location is still great and very convenient to the slopes. Perks included Location, plenty of comfortable beds, clean, Large lower den space with games for kids. Open Kitchen floor plan. Driveway is a bit challenging to manage. Overall we would stay here again and appreciate the hospitality of Big Bear!
My family gathered in Oct for an early thanksgiving. Our sons had other commitments in Nov and this was a perfect place to be together. There was plenty of space for all. We were close to the resort and had a chance to play mini golf.
The rooms are very nicely decorated and the kitchen has an above average array of cookware that is decent quality.
The master bedroom on the main level does not have a curtain and is fine for early birds who wake up with the same n but not great if you wish to sleep in.
The kitchen counters are black and the over head lighting does not extend into the hinder counter area making it hard to see. The lighting under the cabinets doesn’t do anything to illuminate the counter work space. An investment in under the cabinet lighting would be well worth it. Lowe’s has plenty of reasonable offerings.
It is a very nice property and would consider renting again.
This was our second visit to The Bear and we once again had a great time in a beautiful well appointed house. The owners are fantastic and checked in to see if we needed anything. The new fooz ball table was a hit!!!!
Loved this house! Great set up. Lots of indoor and outdoor areas to gather. Plenty of room for multiple couples. Great communication with our host. Easy entry and exit. Would definitely stay here again!
The host was very welcoming and responsive. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Parking was tricky and we did need to use the overflow parking near the pool. Only issue I can think of is that the handles on the spatulas would fall off…….obviously, not a big issue, only mentioning in case the owners would like to replace them.
The home is very clean and there was plenty of room for three couples and kids. Massanutten offers lots of activities but it is somewhat inconvenient to have to pay separately for every activity. The nearby Shenandoah National Park offers wonderful hiking. Overall, it was a good place for a family vacation.
This property was amazing. Check in was super easy and the cabin was spacious. The host communicated often and was great to work with for our stay. We definitely will be back in the future.
What I appreciated most was the hosts clear communication and detailed instructions. I have been in many cabins and this was one of the best for so many reasons. Only one issue while cooking in kitchen once it was dark we couldn’t see because the light was on a movement censor and ceiling light was dem otherwise Everything else in this beautiful cabin was perfectThanks again Deidra Foster
We stayed at the home for our annual multi-family vacation. The house exceeded our high standards. The kids enjoyed the games downstairs when we had downtime. Plenty of room for everyone. Clean and quiet. Highly recommend.
