Disliked: Cleanliness

Brown Bear Inn Labor Day Weekend

Cabin has not been maintained or cleaned in some time. Heavy Brown stains on bathroom light switch plate, years of dust on old Venetian blinds, dirty windows, old dark green crusty carpet, sticky bathroom floor, inadequate lighting, paint peeling on balcony and door, black stain on bed pillow case and stains on bed pillow itself, one pillow way too hard and high, the other bed pillow very thin, lumpy mattress with springs easily felt , neither of us could sleep at all. We had to wear shoes and clothes around the house, afraid to touch anything. Couch had old stains on all cushions, 1970 Goodwill decor furniture and decor inside. This cabin was not worth half of the price charged.

Great spot, cozy bedroom

Relaxing and comfortable space, would stay again. The roll-away bed seems to live in the bedroom and the wardrobe is full of blankets, VCR, etc so there was no space to hang up clothes— felt cramped in the bedroom. Rental does come with 2 deals— half-off 2 hours of a tandem kayak (or a single kayak for 2 free hours I believe) and a similar deal on a bike/e-bike rental. They gave me some but not all of those details when I asked about the kayak beforehand.

Great Location

We were really close to the slopes which made accessing them a lot easier. I would stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities

This cabin is good for my family to stay and enjoy here. However, furniture and amenities are old and smell such as sheets, pillows, and blankets. They make my family to be itchy and uncomfortable. In my opinion, owners should be changed new amenities to serve customers are better than.
