We enjoyed the stay at the Grinning Bear. The two times we had to call, the property manger was quick to send someone over to help. Our only complaint was there were two games in the game room not working, and for a home that sleeps 34, the kitchen trash can could big a tad bit bigger. However, overall we were there to spend time with family for a sick family member, and we had plenty of room, beds were comfortable, plenty of parking, and convenient location. We would stay again.
Cabin was BEAUTIFUL! It had everything we needed if you have little children who arnt use to stairs bring a large baby gate. You will thank me later☺️ but the cabin all around was perfect!!!!
What a beautiful cabin for our multi family birthday trip! Everyone loved the cabin and the ice machines were a lovely added touch. The communication was quick and everyone had a great time. We only wished we had brought blankets with us to lounge around on the massive couches. The kitchen had all the supplies we needed to cook for our crowd of 20 and super cold drinks with the 2 ice machines.The kids enjoyed the theater, pool and game rooms. 10/10, we would book again!
