Bear Creek Resort

Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The room was a bit outdated and needed some maintenance. The bed wasn't too comfortable, and I found ants crawling on me while I was lying in bed. But overall, the stay was fine.

The cabin was nice. You get what you pay for. It could have been a bit more clean (found some trash under the beds, some silverware not clean). But overall we were comfortable. They did try to accommodate us for an early check in which was nice. The hot tub was nice and clean also.

cute and quaint. very clean. short distance from town. loved our balcony for sitting out at night to enjoy

the noisy traffic from the main drag

Nice cabins. Gireplace

Location was good. No view though. But the bed was so small for two people and also the sheets towels and all other bedding were so old and bed was squeaky, we could barely sleep I do not recommend this place.

Love the cabin.

I had a horrible experience at Bear Creek Resort. I was told they were renting cabins for long term stays. We were told that we could rent until ski season in November. When I called the resort to inquire about the cabins for long term rentals. I was told there were several available. I spoke to Andrew. He asked if I had any pets. I told him no pets but a small service animal. He told me someone was coming to look at the cabin and he would let me know if it was still available after they were done. He proceeded to hang up without asking my name or information. I proceeded to give it to him anyway. About an hour later I asked my husband to call and inquire about the availability of the cabins because I felt I was being discriminated against. My husband calls and Andrew told him they have several available and asked if he has pets? My husband says, yes. Andrew tells him he can come and look at the cabin the next day. On May 16, we checked out of the cabin we had booked for week and headed over. No one was in the office so my husband called. Andrew said he could come look at it and asked again if he has any pets. He told him they don’t allow any pets or service animals. My husband told Andrew that he would find a family member to take my service animal. He went over to the restaurant and met with Angela. The lady that works in the restaurant talked Angela into accepting our service animal. He gave her $1200 and asked for a receipt. She kept pushing for us to order food while she went to the office to get a receipt. We ordered rice and orange chicken and dumplings. It was $65. The rice was fishy tasting. I couldn’t eat it. Angela handed him the receipt. He glanced at the bottom. She had wrote May Rent and $300 deposit. He didn’t look at the itemized receipt. It stated arrival date May 15 Departure date June 01. One adult two twin beds. $47 a day. We actually moved in that evening on May 16, She told us that we could bring our king size mattress but not until Monday because she didn’t have the staff to move theirs out. The first day the TV wasn’t getting a signal and the WiFi was horrible. We couldn’t stay connected. My husband inserted a DVD into the player on the TV. The TV wouldn’t play it and the dvd was stuck. The ceiling looked like it was caving in as soon as you opened the door. The cabin was infested with ants. The following day Andrew came to change the battery in the keypad lock on front door. Angela text my husband and asked if we removed the battery from the keypad? She said it was showing 0%. That had apparently never happened before and we had to have tampered with it. The cabin was hot when we entered and the air conditioner was on. The following day I checked the heater and it was giving out heat even though it appeared to be off. Andrew came and put in new battery and was very friendly. He apologized for the TV and asked if we were okay without one for the night. We told him we were fine. I asked about how to get rid of the ants. He told me he would bring a bottle of spray over the following day. He said they are using a peppermint base spray. The next day Angela started blaming my husband for breaking TV via text. Andrew knocked and asked if we are aware the air conditioner was on. We never saw Andrew again. He never brought the ant spray. The shower was full of black mold. The exhaust fan in bathroom didn’t go on. My husband looked to see what the issue was and it was unplugged. He cleared the vent and plugged in. It was super loud and barely worked. The bed was comfy but full ants. They were everywhere from the storage closet, in and around the bed. All over the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen that was described as fully equipped had 1 fork, chopsticks, a pot with lid, a baking sheet that didn’t fit in oven, no plates, 2 colanders, a coffee maker that had used moldy coffee grounds still sitting inside it. The blinds were broken. The curtain rod was over extended and bending in half. There were only 2 sheer panes. The middle window was missing a panel. The front door didn’t sit properly in the frame. There was absolutely no weather stripping around the door. The gaps under the door were big enough for all kinds of bugs, spiders and rodents to enter. Angela texted my husband and said we were using too much utilities. She said we broke the TV. We had brought out 75” Samsung TV we spent hours trying to get the floors cleaned with our steam mop and hours trying to get the black mold out shower. We brought my instant pot duo and keurig latte maker and I guess that was the overuse in utilities. Angela told my husband that she needed the cabin back because of upcoming events and we could move back in August. Then she said it is not zoned with the city as an R. She said the other long term tenants also had to move. As far as days that we paid for we should’ve been paid until the 2nd because of her mistake of putting May 15th instead of actual date of May 16. I have proof of my Airbnb paid reservation until 11:00 am May16. On June 1 she came banging on the door with the sheriffs. We were told we needed to get out then and there or we would be arrested for trespassing. She told the sheriffs we were lodgers who booked under short term rental and refused to leave. She also claimed we had damaged and destroyed her property. The sheriff’s deputies agreed to give us a few hours to remove belongings. We are both physically disabled. My husband is awaiting surgery on his foot and has a medical boot and a knee scooter. The deputies were unsympathetic. They didn’t want to hear what we had to say. They just continued to threaten to arrest us. Angela proceeded to call them out several times to intimidate and threaten us until we left the property. The last deputy that entered the cabin to inspect it to make sure our belongings were completely moved out looked shocked at how clean the cabin was. He told me he didn’t want to arrest us and the cabin had no damage and everything looked great. He said he was going to wait for us to get the last strapped down on top of our vehicle. He apologized ad was very nice. The deputies that had been there in the morning were rude and threatening and very intimidating. Angela is an opportunist. All of the drama so she could steal $50 and our deposit??? Even the lady that was nice in the beginning that works in the restaurant turned nasty and abusive. She was yelling while the sheriffs were there that we weren’t leaving fast enough. It was a complete nightmare. What we thought was affordable housing turned out to put us in a worse situation than when we arrived. Maybe for a weekend stay Bear Creek is fine but I wouldn’t trust Angela or anyone who works for her . While I was waiting for my husband to come back to the restaurant the day I met Angela she was making derogatory comments about the Mountain Homeless Coalition and for Andrew to not allow anyone from the coalition to view the cabins. She said she doesn’t want to deal with them at all. She stated next year she wants to put the cabins up for rent in March.

Very pleasant stay!
