We enjoyed our stay at Bear Dance Chalet. The best perks were comfortable beds, plenty of blankets and pillows, and we never ran out of hot water. The hot tub was enjoyed after a day snow boarding! We fed deer out the back door! On the down side, the listing says it sleeps 12, but there are only beds for 10. It took awhile to warm the house up after we arrived but there are several portable electric heaters available and it did eventually warm up. To sum it up, yes we would return.

The size of the house was as expected. Great place for a larger family. Nice porch space to sit and enjoy the nature. Plenty of cookware and dishes for cooking meals. There were a lot of toys and games to keep the kids occupied.
