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.

Great location and great house!
The absolute best thing about this place is the convenience to the slopes. Literally, it's about 20 steps from the front door to the slopes. And when I say the "slopes", I mean the slopes. 20 steps and you are on the run! Click 'em on and ski down to the chair. I have rented houses that say "steps to the slopes", but what that actually means is "steps to the parking lot" which means a long walk through parked cars, hidden ice patches, etc. The second best thing about this place is ping pong in the garage. We all had a lot of fun hitting the ball around. Other pros: The front door works on a push button combination so we never had to worry about who had the key in case one of our party wanted to head back to the house. folding lounge chairs we found in the garage. It was great to rest up on the backyard deck in comfortable lounge chairs with a drink after a day on the slopes. The Jacuzzi - there is Jacuzzi shared by the complex. I prefer a private tub but for some reason, the shared Jacuzzi was almost always empty and seemed private. The place was clean, well kept, and had great internet and TV Electronics. Cons: There is only one small frying pan which made cooking breakfast for 6 a bit tricky. Water pressure in the showers. For some reason, the water came out of the faucets like Niagara falls but the shower heads provided very low pressure. Couldn't quite figure that out. Overall, the cons were small and outweighed greatly by the pros. Will definitely look into staying here next year.

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!
