We loved this house from the moment we walked in!! It worked perfectly for the 5 of us. It was incredibly well apportioned, everything we needed was on site; just bring your clothes and food. An easy walk into town and, especially, the Lake City Bakery!! The neighborhood was quite and wildlife sightings from the deck were abundant.
Just a note, it was NO issue for us, that all 3 bedrooms are on the second floor with 1 full bath and a full bath on the first floor.

This is my 3rd time to stay at this property for a summer vacation and you will be hard pressed to find a better host, cabin location and view! This cabin has everything you need for an enjoyable time in one of the prettiest places! 10/10 recommend!

We had a great stay at this rustic cabin, and Dan, the owner was easy to reach and quick to discuss any minor issues we had. But I would advise if you are truly looking for something that sleeps 14+ I would not choose this cabin. While it does state it will sleep a large group I think it would only sleep 8 comfortably. There is an air mattress on site and a sofa but it isnt a sleeper sofa.

We loved Bear Bungalow and the owner! Everything was great. The porch has one of the best views in town. Unobstructed views of the mountains. The photos don’t really show how cozy and comfortable it is. We plan on a return trip. Kitchen was well equipped, we could walk to the grocery store, and nearby coffee shop and Several really great places. There were deer and marmots everywhere. The kids loved the fire pit and watching wildlife. I could just live there!!!

We loved our stay. The house was great, stocked with anything you might need. We hand fed and petted the mule deer that came right up to the house. Lake City is very friendly and has a variety of gift shops and restaurants. It was truly the best vacation I’ve had in a long time. We all hated to leave.

Great host and location, place is fully stocked with all you would need for a long stay! Driveway is a bit steep on one side if parking multiple trailers, better to come in from the top of the hill with trailers!

The view was amazing. We loved how we could see the wildlife right out the back door, yet we 10 minute walk into town. We were able to ride our side by side from our front door to the trails every day. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We Enjoyed the location. You can drive or walk 10 or 15 minutes to the bakery / Grocery store or town. WE had regular visits from 3 bucks daily. They looked up at us on the porch. Bring food only. The house has everything you need such as games, abundant kitchen ware, coffee pots, gas grill, firepit etc. We loved our stay. Porch is fenced with a gate if you have a child or dog.

Very happy. Lots of wild life but no bears. Unusually hot week in Lake City and wished for better ventilation. Needs proper window fans. Not just box fans. If it was normal hemps wouldn’t have been a problem. Also house needs a bigger trash can. With family of 8 hard to squeeze our trash in

Few properties allow large dogs and this was the reason for us choosing this cabin. Our Great Dane and Lab truly enjoyed their stay, especially since they could hang out on the large deck unleashed provided there is a gate to keep them contained. They loved watching deer and marmots everyday from the deck and did a little afternoon sun bathing too. The stairs leading up to the bedrooms were a little slippery and awkward for our Great Dane but he mastered them by the end of our stay. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need, well stocked. Shower was pleasant will ample hot water. Master bed was comfortable with an awesome Mountain View from the balcony. The fire pit seemed nice but we did not use due to bear activity in the evening. I am very familiar with the neighborhood as I spent my childhood summers in the A-frame cabin just up the hill, so this property reminded me of the many rock forts and tree tee-pee’s built. The owner Dan was exceptionally responsive and a pleasure. Would certainly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a relaxing vacation with your pups. Augustus McCrae “Augie” and Barley Bubbles send their many thanks for an amazing stay!

The cabin was as described. It had everything you might need, especially in the kitchen. With great views of the surrounding mountains. We were there to ride our ATV’s in the Alpine Loop area. The cabin is located within the areas you are allowed to ride them in Lake City. Overall, a great comfortable place to stay.

Fabulous Cabin Stay
A group of 5 of us came out to explore the Alpine Loop and hide away in the mountains! This was a beautiful cabin and perfect location to get off and on trails and be away from the city hustle and bustle. We didn’t even ask for the WI FI Password. Nature, small town, house was well equipped, would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy Colorado! Thanks Dan

Great place too stay! Dan and his wife were great
The only let down was no TV in one of the bedrooms but it was pictured without one and all the propane bottles were empty or the grill wasn't working properly. Over all the stay was great and would stay there again. Thanks Dan

The house was more than accommodating. It had everything we needed for all 13 of us. It was clean and just a beautiful house. A plus was that it was close to town. When we needed something, the owner took care of it. Would love to come back and stay there again!!

The house was just as described in listing. There are Marmots that live in the rocks beside the house, they met us every evening when we got back from riding ,they were looking for peanuts.. There was some confusion about check in times and that it put us off a little at first but other than that the house was good. The dashhound learned that she could not go down the inside steps really fast,lol!!

Wonderful Property and Location
Our family of four had a great week at Bear Bungalow which included two bear sightings! The house is in a great location in Lake City with a fantastic view. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. The well thought outdoor areas including the front patio, grilling area and fire pit was prefect for our family. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Great location, lots of wildlife
We had a great time at Bear Bungalow. The location was great. We walked into town everyday to get to the bakery, to shop, or just to explore. We hiked up Umcompagre Forest a little way up behind the cabin. Sweety's was just a little bit up the hill from us and was such a cute and fun place for the kids, even the teens. The kitchen was fully stocked with spices and cookware. Plenty of bedding and towels were also provided. The dishwasher and laundry machines did take a long time, but as long as you know that and plan around it, they worked fine. We also took advantage of the fire pit and deck to enjoy the cool weather and take in the scenery. We saw deer, lots of marmots, and even lucked out seeing a bear climbing the deck stairs and poking around the cabins down the road from us!
The only complaint we had was the cabin was not cleaned well when we first arrived. We contacted Dan to let him know and he responded right away.

Comfortable, well located rustic cabin with nice view
The location was excellent and had a nice view from front porch and from master bedroom/porch upstairs . The place was cozy and comfortable, with nice outdoor spaces and grill. The one slight negative (for some) was that all three bedrooms were upstairs with only one bath to share, while another full bathroom was downstairs. It was ok with us, and we really didn't mind, but some folks would probably prefer master bath not shared and 2nd bath for the other rooms.
