Reviewer Comments:
Located near all the action in SLT without being in a "busy" neighborhood. House is huge and exceptionally well stocked for a large family or group. The home was very clean and in great condition when we arrived. The host was responsive to our needs throughout and had to deal with a major appliance failure during our stay that they handled as well as could be expected. We would choose this home and this host again with confidence.
Great stay, amazing location; walking distance to everything!
Great experience renting property, had everything we needed and amazing location near everything. Thank you!

Excellent Location!
This beautifully decorated home is spacious, clean, and had everything we could want - nice large kitchen, 5 large bedrooms, laundry, DVDs, WiFi. The location is great because you can walk to the Heavenly gondola in 10 minutes. We would definitely stay here again!
A very clean house that easily slept our group of eight. We were very impressed with how new and clean everything was. Very accommodating! The fire pit outside was great for morning coffee and relaxing.
Our big family loved our stay. The walk to The Heavenly Village was approximately 8 minutes -an easier walk than you may think. Sandy was the best hostess! We wouldn’t hesitate staying at The Bear Necessities again!
