The only Bear Valley lakefront + beachfront cabin with ski in-out access

"This is our second visit the the Bear Valley cabin by the lake. We will be back.The cabin may be the only rental available that has walk down access to the lake, which is one of the main reasons we rented the firt time and a reason we came back.Communication with Molly, the host, is genuinely one of the easiest VRBO communications I've ever had and I appreciate her thoughtfulness, quick answers, willingness to hear suggestions about what the cabin might need, etc. Renting a cabin/VRBO with hosts like Molly make travel life much easier.We will be back."

"We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! It was a wonderful place to relax and spend time together. The only small suggestion would be to have the AC extend to the second floor as well, especially during warmer days. Overall, we had a great experience and would be happy to stay here again!"
