Pride of Ownership - Thank you for sharing with us.
We loved Mountain Bear Lodge. The house was outfitted spectacularly and the owner took pride in helping guests understand the house, location and how to get to & from the slopes. This home exudes love.
After gearing up and off using the amazing mudroom, I never want to go skiing any other way.
We cannot wait to stay here again!
