Cute condo that was very conveniently located. Everything was clean. Didn’t get a lot of sleep due to the very loud upstairs neighbors. Apparently the hot tub in this building is the one all the resort locals poach, as everybody in town knows the door code. These issues aren’t the fault of the condo owner, nonetheless it’ll probably keep us from coming back.
Everything about the stay was great. Smooth check in, great communication, and none of the tedious check-out procedures. This was the ideal location at a great price.
I can’t say enough about how great Cozy Bear Den was. Whoever designed the layout thought about everything. There is so much storage, everything you need in the kitchen, great appliances, quality fixtures, warm decor, multiple trays for wet boots. It is a full home. Our family of 4 slept so comfortably- wife and I in the master, our 9-year-old daughter loved the bunk bed, and our 12 year old son had the large fold out bed in the living room all to himself… and it is a very comfortable mattress, particularly for a fold out. We went to the hot tub every day, and were the only ones there every time. It’s a very short walk to the bottom of the ski lift, and we skied downhill pretty much back to the front door! We will be back to this one!

This is a very nice, clean, and updated place. It is really cozy and was a great place to stay. We love it!
We enjoyed the condo and it came with all the kitchen needs! Very responsive host to a couple questions! If you want a quiet place away from the hustle of the city this is perfect! My husband has knee issues so we were grateful for no stairs!

We booked for two people & there was only one full size bath towel for a 5 day stay. All the towels had brown spots on them too, so that was not good. Overall it was comfortable and we enjoyed stay, beside towel issue. Thanks

Great property- walking distance to ski lift. Very clean. Just a few things that weren’t great- we are a family of 5 and planned to use the pull out sofa for a bed. It was a good size with a comfortable mattress but no bedding! We texted the property manager and they said they would contact cleaning staff but we never heard back from them. We ended up stripping a blanket off the king bed but then we were cold that night. Bedding and a few extra blankets would have been wonderful. We walked to the hot tub, went out in the cold to get in and the code didn’t work, texted the property manager and didn’t hear back for a bit. Walked back to room, then got a response which was not convenient. The bunk beds are two tiny beds in the master closet. They are crib or toddler bed size mattresses. If you have kids older than 10/11 they will not fit. The description should be clear on those beds. We made the best of these small inconveniences and still enjoyed our stay.
Amazing nature surrounds the property. Beautiful hiking, inspiring views for meditation and mindfulness practices. The property felt cozy. Excellent internet speed and phone connectivity.

Everything was great and my family was comfortable. The parking pass was missing but didn’t end up mattering, I just wrote up one on paper and put in dash. Some additional details about stay like type of coffee maker and laundry would be helpful.

It was within walking distance to lifts which was nice, and it was nicely updated and clean. However, the sofa/futon in the living area was TERRIBLY uncomfortable and there was a very strange odor that came home with us.

Nicely updated condo. Super easy access to skiing, just a few minutes walk out the front door and you are the base of the high speed 6 pack. And at the end of the day, find the "secret" trail to ski right back to the front door. Bring your own food to cook in the condo as dining options are limited.
