Overlooking the forest, it also has two partially covered decks, which include a 4-seat bar stool dining table, Weber grill, and Adirondack chairs for viewing the galaxies not hidden by city lights.

Ages ranged from almost 5 to almost 67. House was a great spot to hang out in inclement weather and a great location to access the skiing and nature center in the resort. We especially appreciated the well stocked kitchen since we cooked all our meals in.

We were in town for a work expo. While the home was a little further from the event then we would prefer, the house was fantastic and worth the drive. This home housed our group with plenty of room to spare. Great spot, highly recommend!

Gorgeous home and fantastic layout!
It was an absolute breeze to follow the owner’s directions and the layout of the home is phenomenal for multiple couples/families. Would love to stay in the same house in the spring/fall!

Bears Choice is a Great Choice!
Very clean. Just a few minutes from slopes and walking/hiking trails. Excellent instructions made check in and checkout a breeze. Excellent and timely communication with property manager prior to our arrival and during stay. We arrived with a little bit of snow on the ground and the walkways were all shoveled and the steps were salted down.

Great Stay
I rented the home for a mini vacay for a me and my girlfriends. The house is very welcoming, organized, and spacious with plenty of bedrooms and living space. Some unexpected snow arrived so we bunkered in for the weekend but the home very cozy with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, Wi-Fi, and a warm fireplace. There are instructions and labels everywhere (light switches, remote controls, thermostats, trash disposal, and check-out) which made it easy to figure things out. The location is close to the slopes (5 min drive) and peaceful. We had a super nice stay at this house and we would choose this house again for future visits!

Meeting in the middle
We traveled from FL and CT for Christmas with our son and his girlfriend. The house was clean, comfortable and the kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked. The beams, stone fireplace and woodsy surroundings created the perfect atmosphere for a COVID-safe Christmas. Thanks!

Awesome place!
Our family recently stayed here for Fall Break and it was fantastic! It was probably one of the most well appointed places we have stayed in - from the kitchen to the quality of the bedding to the furniture to the grill, etc. It was a great location too - so close to multiple hiking trails. And the bedroom/bathroom set-up lends itself well to multiple families. Overall, just a fantastic experience!

Exactly what we needed and more
Bear’s Choice was the perfect Wintergreen property for our long weekend among dear friends. The home was spotlessly clean on arrival. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook for two families. Easy-to-follow laminated instructions (for TV and internet operation, thermostats, trash disposal, and check-out) were in plain view for easy access. Our kids loved the game closet and we all appreciated the list of nearby hikes and other activities. Thank you for making our weekend really special. We are already planning a return trip!
