Stayed at the Lodge one night with wife and kids (ages 5 & 2) for kids' first snow trip. I read the reviews beforehand so knew what to expect. Good news: Great location. Bad news: lodge is old. When we got into our room, my wife (who weighs 120lbs) sat on the bed and it collapsed. Maintenance was skeptical it... More

Took my family up for the evening to go sking the next day. The place is pretty old and looks like it hasn't been updated in a while. That being said, the rooms were OK and the location can't be beaten if you are going skiing. Also, the service from the front desk crew was outstanding. They really go out... More

Came in late, called and it worked out, but no staff anywhere. This isn't a B&B, needs someone here at all times, especially during major storms. No food, no phone service and broken pay phone, no food, and so on. Walls beyond thin, shower handle broke off. Shampoo is dispensed from wall. Since we have arrived we haven't been able... More

What a pleasure it was to work with the Staff at Bear Valley Lodge. With 28 people to please, Bear Valley was very attentive to our every need. They made my event planning a positive and delightful experience. All attendees had positive feedback about the Lodge, the staff and the surrounding. Thank you Bear Valley!

This was the best retreat center we have ever used for our yearly Leadership retreat for Community Bible Study. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, the food was good, the rooms were nice, the ambience couldn't have been more comfortable, cozy and relaxing, and the beautiful snowfall added much to our time. The staff was so nice to help... More

The Lodge is scenic, the personnel friendly and thoughtful. We arrived on a Wednesday night, in the midst of a local music festival. They offered us a room which had 1 bed and a pull out sofa bed, for our daughter. Nice but when we went to set up the bed, it was full of dirty, stained sheets along with... More

I stayed at Bear Valley Lodge for a week of day hikes. The hotel is charming although it is need of some updating. The resturant is first rate. Rob, the chef and resturant manager goes out of his way to please the guests. The location is an ideal base from which to do day hikes. Close to some of the... More

We love this place. It's outdated but the people are nice it's like stepping back in time. It's a great place to go if you don't want crowds. It's clean yes, but everything needs replaced. We go as often as we can. There are a lot of activities the downside is eating... The is really though. Breakfast I'd honestly bring... More

Bear Valley lodge is an old, classic ski lodge and apparently, once upon a time (in the 60s), it was all the rage if the old photos of celebrities and athletes are any indication. In the center of the hotel there is a great lounge that is really very nice. There is a fireplace made with huge boulders and lots... More
