This home delivers a true Alpine experience with a top-of-the-line hot tub, heated tile floors and infrared sauna. Make check-in even more fun and convenient by calling the local snowmobile taxi service! Only a 5 minute walk to the Bear Valley Lodge and loading zone, this is one of the closest homes to the village center. Please keep in mind, this is a mountain cabin - The weather and snowfall is out of our control, and expect guests to know and understand this when reserving their stay! The space Recently added Hungarian Goose Down Comforters/Duvets in the Master Suite Down and Guest Suite upstairs. The home is also backed up by a propane-powered generator- should power be lost for any reason, the generator automatically starts and provides electricity to fully power the home, sauna, hot tub, and central, forced air, heating. The home is fully stocked with tamarack and almond wood for the wood-burning stove. The hot tub can get snowed in during the ski season and we cannot always get it dug out and operational in time for guests. Please keep in mind the location is at 7000 ft and largely impacted by snow storms. We are not responsible for snow (or no snow) in winter nor can we predict fire conditions and the ability to use / not use BBQ or open fires in the back yard. Bear Valley is beautiful but remote- if you want something with a big village and stores and restaurants, I recommend Lake Tahoe. Guest access Guests have access to beautiful Bear Lake, a 5-minute walk away. The lake has a BBQ and fire pit, and in Summer, the lodge has a swimming pool and is accessible for a small daily fee during summer. Access the hot tub on the property via the combination code on the lock: 1999. Other things to note There is a TV and Apple TV connected, but you will need to provide your own login for streaming apps such as Netflix/Hulu. We provide the basics: high-speed Verizon internet, high-definition TV, an Apple TV box and DVD with a small library of movies- the rest is up to you. Keep in mind that the closest grocery store is 35 minutes from my home—the general store in Bear Valley is small and has limited hours. For ease of logistics, we recommend bringing the bulk of your groceries and drinks up to Bear Valley as the local market has limited supplies and is expensive. Snowfall can be unpredictable and can affect travel plans—plan accordingly, and please reach out if you have any questions. I do not control the weather and cannot change/cancel reservations due to weather conditions. Please be aware that the Spa/ Hot Tub cover has a lock that prevents it from moving when opened. Please move that hinge/ lock back to open before trying to shut the hot tub, or the locking mechanism will be damaged. Do not operate the spa or leave the spa cover open when there is a wind storm as the top can blow shut and cause a risk of injury or damage to the hot tub. Bear Valley is a car-free village in Winter- keep in mind that you will need to walk in during the winter or rent a "snowmobile taxi." We can help you organize a snowmobile taxi or rent a snowmobile in Winter. Plan ahead if it is snowing—it is not advisable to walk in, rent a snowmobile, or organize a snowmobile ride, for example, in a snow storm or at night, to show up and try to carry kids, luggage, and groceries to the house as it is still a 5-minute walk.
