We absolutely LOVED the Grinning Bear Lodge! It was the perfect pet-friendly cabin for me and my wife, accompanied by our Aussiedoodle pup. From the beginning, Nancy was very punctual to our initial inquiries regarding the rental and check-in was flawless and the directions which were provided by her were perfect.
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and we found it to be meticulously clean and exceptionally maintained. The spacious kitchen was well stocked including ample seasonings and condiments as well as a nearly fully stocked refrigerator.
The high vaulted ceilings with huge windows afforded beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and allowed ample sunlight to enter the spacious cabin.
The lodge was beautifully decorated with a classic “bear motif”- hence the name Grinning Bear Lodge.
All of the linens were crisp, clean and extremely comfortable and the closets were stocked with additional comfy bed coverings for those cool nights. We loved the fact that all of the windows included screens and could easily be opened, in order to allow the cool clean mountain air enter the cabin. The upstairs loft bedroom included a private balcony which was absolutely perfect for nighttime stargazing.
The lodge was also perfect for our pet and even included food and water bowls in the laundry room which also included some pet toys.
The washer and dryer were full sized, performed flawlessly and even included a generous supply of laundry detergent and dryer sheets.
There is a large wrap around deck on the main level , which was perfect for morning coffee and afforded gorgeous mountain views in every direction.
We enjoyed grilling on the clean and well maintained BBQ grill which is also conveniently situated on the deck, hence easily accessible.
During our stay we utilized the awesome adjacent fire-pit where there is an abundant supply of wood on the wood rack as well as additional wood located in the garage.
During our stay we had absolutely no issues with the property and we are already hoping to return next year.
It was absolutely perfect and exceeded our expectations!
Thank you Nancy for sharing your beautiful cabin with us-
Sincerely,
Allen, Anjelica and Douglas Fir
