About this property
Big Bear Chalet, modern home on Mount Washington
Brand new 3 story chalet with 2 master bedrooms. A one minute drive to ski lift, close to hiking and mountain biking. Have fun in this stylish place with the whole family or a group of friends. Enjoy a coffee or glass of wine on the balcony overlooking Strathcona park. The large kitchen is a chef's dream. Tons of counter space, an induction range, espresso machine, coffee maker, dishwasher, and fridge with ice maker. The large quartz island seats 4 and up to 8 at the dining room table. There is also a half bath on the top floor so you don’t have to keep running up and down the stairs. Relax on the large U-shaped sectional after a long day on the slopes, with a Netflix movie on the 65" Tv. If you need a little extra space from your travel companions, there is a lower level bonus room complete with air hockey, plenty of board games, and a second 65" TV. This space also contains a queen size pull-out couch. A warning, however, this space is partially finished and has exposed drains and ductwork that can be noisy. Our chalet is family friendly with kids toys, books, dishes, high chair, baby monitor and pack n play for your little ones. The second level has 4 bedrooms. 2 are masters with ensuites, a third queen room, and a bunk room and a third bathroom. The master bedroom at the front of the chalet has a daybed and a bonus kitchenette for extra storage or the couple who enjoys their coffee in bed.

We had a great stay! Loved the place and it was the perfect layout for kids and adults. We will definitely book again.
The property description was very accurate. Check-in was extremely easy and the location ideal. We had a great stay with 6 adults and 6 children. The separation of space between games room and bedroom/living was perfect.
We had a lovely time with the cousins and their little ones! The chalet was clean and bright with good sleeping accommodations. Blue sky, but unfortunately no snow! Tubing and bunny hills for the little ones were great…
We had a great stay in this beautiful house. The kitchen was well equipped, all the beds were comfy, and the bonus room was great for the kids.The host was very very responsive to our sometimes -dumb questions.The location is beautiful. The heating system kept us cosy without being too warm or too cold. The electric fireplace was perfect for taking the chill off the living room. Overall we had a wonderful Family Weekend at Big Bear Chalet.
Beautiful place. Brand new. Lots of room. Close to lifts. Had a great time with extended family over Christmas. Thanks.

Perfect chalet! Family of 6 plus toddler. Well stocked, even for children! Kitchen has everything you might need and more! All bedrooms well stocked and beautifully decorated! Loved the decorated Christmas tree, games and books!
Great communication from host!
Very happy with rental! Will visit again!
Our family enjoyed our stay in the Big Bear house. Beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. The host provided a high chair, toddler dishes and toys which was very much appreciated. The large living space was perfect for our large family.
A fantastic location to hold our Christmas Party, the snow was just right for skiing, and the house is a Wonderful place to stay, till has that Just Built Smell, and the views from all directions brought back memories of living back in Fairmont Hots Springs... We will return for another visit
Our family of 6 adults, 3 little ones, stayed here over Spring Break vacation. The house was perfect for all, 4 beds, 3 baths - there was additional space if it had been needed to add another two in the games room. The two sets of bunk beds were perfect for the kids.
Lots of space on the living floor, plenty of dishes, cutlery, equipment etc; it is new and ultra clean, plenty of parking! Three minutes drive from the top parking lot.
This was a wonderful find! Can't wait to stay there again!
Big Bear Chalet was very comfortable for our family of 7 adults, 2 children and dogs. Laine was a wonderful host, going above and beyond to accommodate any requests, including bringing a dvd player from home so we could watch some old family "movies".😊
Stargazing was amazing...meteor showers, Milky Way, stars, stars, and more stars!
Communication with the host was great. The kitchen was perfect for our big group meals and the sitting area was spacious and comfy. Great stay, thanks Laine!

Very clean and has enough space for everyone to enjoy the vacation。
The house was spacious, well organized and clean. We enjoyed the big windows and individual bathrooms was a bonus. Kids had fun in the playroom. It was a great stay for a family.
A comfortable, well maintained property. In the summer it was a perfect place to explore the surroundings with its trails, lakes, and an active chair lift to take us to the summit for views and more trails.
