Walk to Bear Mountain Lift or Snow Summit Shuttle

More than enough room for our party of 5, plenty of towels, kitchen supplies for cooking and the location was great. We actually enjoyed skiing Snow Summit more than Bear mountain because most of Bear Mountain was set up for Snowboard freestyle park runs and we were all skiing. But that wasn't an issue as the shuttle is right in front of Bear Mountain (5 minute walk from front door of townhome) and it runs every 30 mins. Garage acts as a great mud room/storage place for your snow gear and the owners were responsive and friendly. Great trip for some spring skiing.

Walk to the lifts

You can’t beat the location. In the morning you can sip coffee, sit in front of the fireplace and watch the black diamond skiers and snowboarders tear down the mountain immediately in your backyard. Head out the back yard directly to the slopes.

Beautiful Views and you can't beat the location

The property was so amazing and clean. John & Stephanie's communication was some of the best I've seen on an VRBO and they were very accommodating. They even turned on the heat for us before we arrived so the townhouse was nice and warm. For those visiting Bear Mountain, you can virtually board/ski right up to the deck and for those going to Snow Summit, the shuttle is a short walk away. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you J&S for allowing us to use your Condo. Best, Ben

Great vacation home and great host!

This was our second stay at the Bear Condo, and it is a perfect getaway. The condo is exactly as described, with everything in good and working order - from appliances to window blinds. Lovely and serene views from the back patio, walking distance to the golf course, the zoo, and of course Bear Mountain base. The condo itself is right at the slopes - ski to the bottom to purchase your lift ticket! As lovely, inviting and cozy as this condo is, it is still surpassed by the hospitality of John, your host. We had another perfect getaway John - Thank you!

Great place for summer or winter

Really nice place. We want to come back. Great communication with the owners. We loved the easy check-in, gated community, and location. Also, it was cool that there was "in-community" trash drop off. If you've stayed in Big Bear before, you know what I mean. The master bedroom with private bath was awesome too. We stayed here in August and brought our eBikes with us. Had great/close access to trailheads.
