Stunning views of the mountains from the deck and hot tub, and especially through the large windows. We loved mornings in the living room, which has gorgeous views, a fireplace, cozy spots to curl up and plenty of space for our toddler to play. We had a wonderful stay for just a couple of days in late fall, but this would be a lovely spot year-round. Plenty of space even for a larger family. The whole house was very clean, with one of the best rental kitchens we’ve seen and comfortable beds. We will definitely stay here again!

This was an excellent property. The house was well equipped and spotless. The location was in a neighborhood but the houses were several acres apart so there was no concern about privacy, or noise. Nice views of the surrounding hills and the fall foliage. The property is 15 minutes outside of Front Royal and an easy commute to numerous wineries. We enjoyed the brand new tasting room at Reitano Vinyard. We contacted the owner for help with some minor issues and got immediate assistance. We would gladly return to this location again.

Relaxing mountain retreat

The property is as advertised, excellent view, very private, with abundant wildlife. Saw a black bear on our next to last day, several rabbits live on the periphery, as well as numerous song birds. The hot tub is very relaxing and the property is only about three miles from town!

Excellent property

This home was everything and more. We enjoyed our stay here. Easy proximity to SNP, fine dining and wineries. Recommend Rappenoch Winery and Houndstooth Resturant. We did not find the appeal of The Applehouse. You need your own firewood if you want a fire. The found the property to be quite private with beautiful scenery just as the pictures on the web site show.

Nice home with lovely views

This is a nice home with lovely views through the large floor to ceiling windows. It's only 10 minutes away from town with stores and restaurants. There is a cute bear theme throughout the decorations. We enjoyed sitting out by the firepit (you have to provide your own wood). The owner is exceptionally communicative and helpful. For downsides - It's not completely private; there are other homes nearby but not many. The master bath shower is very small.

Friends Reunion Weekend

Wonderful property and excellent communication from the hosts, Asad and Erica. We loved the baby deers, groundhogs, birds, beautiful views and shooting stars. Additional helpful things to know ahead of the visit is that there is a bbq but there is no guarantee there will be propane as it is not supplied by the host. Also, there was minimal toilet paper so if we were to stay again, we would bring a 6 pack of TP. For towels we only were provided six for the entire visit, which was challenging since we used the hot tub. Asad shared that typically extra towels are left on the kitchen counter but was an oversight by the cleaning crew. As you can see these issues did not lessen our rating and we enjoyed our weekend greatly!

Peaceful, beautiful Getaway in the Bear Mountain Lodge ❤️

Thank you Asad and Erika, my fiance and I had an amazing few days on top of the beautiful mountains. The house was beautiful, very clean, fully stocked, and I enjoyed the adorable Bear theme through out the home, so many details! So inviting, warm and even had a beautiful piano. There was various games and activities in the home, not to mention about 15 minutes from downtown! Great location! We enjoyed the amazing views, and the peace! We even hired an amazing local photographer Joe Stein photography, who came to the home and took our engagement photos with the beautiful mountains in the background. Highly recommend Joe, if you are looking for a wonderful, passionate photographer. We enjoyed quite of few meals at the Apple House! Bear Mountain lodge is definitely a piece of paradise, we highly recommend this beautiful home! Thank you again Asad from start to finish he was so quick to answer all of my questions, he called me right after booking introduced himself, gave me quite a few recommendations, lots of ideas of things to see and do, restaurants to visit. So wonderful, and easy to talk to, and told us if we needed anything to let him know. 10 Star Experience. We will definitely like to visit again!
