Ski Trip for Grooms to Be
We stayed at bears den for a ski weekend to celebrate our grooms to be. The house was awesome. Perfect and comfortable for 12 guests. There was plenty of room to spread out and not disturb guests who went to bed a little earlier than the rest. The shuttle to mt snow picks you up right at the bottom of the driveway and ropa you off just the same. It was incredible. Will was super responsive and attentive. The hosts helped me with restaurant recommendations and also helped connect me with a private chef (nomad chefs) that came to the house one night. Cannot recommend this place enough. Perfect for cozy winter storm and plenty of games to occupy. We will return!

Childhood Friends Ski Getaway
From the initial booking process to the day of checkout, everything experienced at this home was 5 star! The house was everything we could have asked for and more, was able to sleep 12 adults comfortably with great living spaces, kitchen and basement, and allowed us to feel at home! We all debated buying the home from the hosts multiple times throughout the trip due to how homey and lovely the house was lol! Definitely saving the location and booking again in the future!

Annual ski trip with friends
We had such a fun weekend! The house was so cozy and easily accommodated the 12 of us (6 couples). The home owners provided great communication, answered any questions and shared helpful information throughout the weekend. We enjoyed being able to cook, we brought food for most meals. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The shuttle to the mountain was an added bonus and the ski home trail from the mountain was a hit! Thank you again!

Perfect ski house getaway
We were 2 families that rented this house and loved everything about it. There is plenty of space for the kids and adults to spread out with the most comfortable beds we have ever had in a rental house. The living room upstairs has a large sectional couch that we could all fit on for watching movies and the snow fall through the beautiful floor to ceiling windows. The downstairs living room had a lot of space for the kids to play games and watch movies. The access to the Moover shuttle was perfect and the house was well stocked with everything we could need. It was a very clean house and the hosts were so helpful and responsive. We would absolutely rent this house again for our next ski trip to Mount Snow.

Great Father/Son Ski Trip
Bears Den Chalet was the perfect place for our stay. The house has an excellent layout, with very comfortable common space and full kitchen, as well as many nice bedrooms for group living. Everything was in great order, from the ski room when you first enter to the multi-level living space and bedoroms/loft. And quick straight shot to Mt. Snow. Great choice!

About the host

Host profile image
We are a ski family, with 2 kids aged 16 and 12, and have enjoyed making memories together on the slopes at Mount Snow and other epic mountains throughout the East - and West! Although we would ski every weekend if we could, we have decided to open our home for guest rentals when we cannot make use of it ourselves. We hope you enjoy our home and the surrounding areas as much as we do!
