The Space:

The main house centers around a warm, inviting layout with two fireplaces, a sauna, and a hot tub — an unbeatable combination for unwinding after a day on the mountain. The oversized downstairs bedroom has been transformed into a dedicated game and TV room, complete with video games, foosball, ping pong, and air hockey. A built-in BBQ and outdoor entertaining space round things out.



The detached guest house comes with its own private entrance and stunning views of Bear Mountain’s slopes — perfect for guests who want their own space within the group trip.



While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.



Heads up: there are stairs leading up to the front door! This home also has a steep driveway — during snow season a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended and chains may be needed.
