Bear House - Walking Distance to Snowflake Lodge, Pool,Lake and Recreation!
No Driving Necessary! The Bear House Is Located Directly Across from The Snowflake Lodge, Pool and Lake! (fees apply) This grand chalet surrounded by pines is your perfect Sierra Getaway. Enter into the great room with soaring ceilings and a wall of windows to let the beauty of nature shine through. The fully equipped gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths there is plenty of room for extended family and friends...the master is located on the main floor with a King bed, the queen and kids’ room with 2 doubles and 2 twins (bunks) are located upstairs + a cozy loft. Enjoy that family BBQ on the expansive deck while sipping a cool drink and conversing about the day’s actives. The Rec Center located right across the street includes a pool, lake, tennis/basketball/volleyball/bocce ball courts, ping pong, shuffleboard, movies at dusk a restaurant and much more. With easy access off of Hwy 4 it is a skier’s dream for a quick escape up the mountain to Bear Valley. Stay warm with Central Heat + Gas Log Stove and cool in the summer with Central Air.

Fam get away
photos are deceiving bushes and walkways are overgrown with shrub making climb up stairs to front door (only access) difficult. Nest thermostat broken keeps turning air on so cold in home would not stay off even if programed to. Kitchen is not as big as it appears. We had to vacuum floors and clean dishes before using facility. Beds where very comfortable, but would've liked a flat sheet to use on top of body instead of comforter as I'm pretty sure they dont wash bedspread comforter after each renter. Yuk. The house has a good floorplan, just needs quite a bit of TLC
