Good Bear Ranch Mountain Retreat - Connect with What You Love

One of Eastern Oregon's
Top Vacation Rentals!

Good Bear Ranch, a 5500 Sq. Ft. rustic log home tucked into the base of the Elkhorn Mountains, is anything but rustic when it comes to amenities. Located on 250 acres of woods and sprawling fields with direct access to the Wallowa Whitman National Forest, it's the perfect place to gather for retreats or reunions but is still cozy enough for a romantic getaway for two

Beautiful Cabin in the Mountains

Our family has the pleasure of staying at the Good Bear and we had a wonderful time! We hiked the trails behind the cabin every morning, noon and evening. Saw tons of deer, wild turkeys and birds. Enjoyed the cooking in the gorgeous kitchen and relaxing by the fire! We would stay there again!

Overdue Family Reunion

Our family gathered at Good Bear for a long, overdue reunion. The home and surrounding area was beautiful and provided for plenty of space along with a very well appointed kitchen. Access to Anthony Lakes and the discount tickets for skiing along with access to nearby trails made for a great outings. We also enjoyed watching the large herd of elk make their daily trek to grazing grounds below. We all loved this place and left with many nice memories and promises to return. Thank you for making such a great place available.

Beautiful Home and Property

Homeowner was very responsive. Artwork in the home is beautiful. Enjoyed hiking on the property each day, playing pool, ping pong and foosball. Kitchen was well stocked with any item needed. It was nice to have the wood readily available for the fireplaces. Great memories created during our stay. Thank you for opening your home for us to use. The Springer’s and Sibley’s.

Left after one night

The house was not clean, there was pet hair and food crumbs in carpet and the windows, which showcased the beautiful setting, were all so filthy you could barely see out. But the reason we could not stay for our booking was two-fold. There is something wrong with the house which allows flies to drop from the ceiling and enter the house even when doors are closed. The cleaning staff vacuumed these from the different areas and within a couple hours there were dozens and then dozens more. The second thing was an active yellow jacket nest that made it impossible to spend time outside safely. The house needs an exterminator to take care of this problem and some down time from visitors to clean it. To her credit, the owner gave us a full refund and let us stay the night. But we drove nearly six hours to this destination so a real disappointment.

Wonderful

This was our second time staying at Good Bear. The first was my last trip to Baker with my Dad and family in 2017. This time it was to celebrate his life with family from Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The property is magical. We saw turkey, deer, owl, and lots of other critters. The cows sauntered right up to the fence while grazing. There was a small hiccup during our stay with a water leak that needed repair. We were without water for a couple of hours while the problem was diagnosed and a part picked up and replaced. It was a minor set back during meal prep but was handled quickly and efficiently.

Anthony Lakes/ Good Bear Ranch DH/XC

Our group of 11 ladies ages 69-88 had an great stay at GBR. The location is close to the ski hill and Baker City. The discounted ski tickets were a plus. Accommodations were perfect however the Family Room still has a lumpy mattress but we managed. Lots of options with air mattresses or cots.

Good Bear is terrific

We recently had a small get together with a few family members we had not seen in 14 years. The accommodations at BG were perfect for our small group. We had plenty of room for privacy as well as visiting in lovely, comfortable surroundings. The weather provided serious heat, some smoke, then rain, so we did not take much advantage of the outdoor seating accommodations. Two suggestions: (1) We could not find a fire extinguisher in the kitchen. Fortunately we didn't need it, but the one we eventually discovered near the downstairs fireplace would not have been available in the event of an emergency. We'd suggest more and more prominent fire extinguishers and/or fire blankets. (2) Idiot-proof directions for the entertainment center would have been much appreciated. We had to spend waaaaaay too much time figuring things out to play videos and/or watch a movie. And, sadly, missed the Women's World Cup final due to inability to determine how to get reception. Otherwise, we LOVED our visit to GB, and would recommend it to others. Thanks, Robin, for sharing this lovely place (and your amazing landscaping).

Fantanstic stay!

The lodge was great and the views from the deck fantastic...we loved it. The only issue we had was the representation of bedrooms and baths. The corner 3 bedrooms ran together which created a small issue for two families and the baths were misrepresented, in actuality, there are only 6 bedrooms and three baths. Other than that, it was a fantastic stay and we will probably rebook in the future. Thank you.

Winter Wonderland

We had 3 inches on new snow around the ranch. Each day club members were able to get up to Anthony lakes to ski. We even took a short trek on snowshoes around the property. The kitchen was so accommodating for our dinner prep and we loved all sitting at the large family dining table.

We had 7 kids, 7 adlults and 3 dogs stay for the weekend.

Everyone had a wonderful time. The kitchen had everything we needed to stay in for the weekend and have family cooked meels. The beds were very comforable and the entire house was very clean and comfortable. We were lucky enough to get a nice snow and used the sleds in the garage for lots of fun time sledding down the hill with the kids! I would recommend this for any family reunions or just a nice quit place for relaxing! beautiful, Beautiful, beautiful!
