Top Bear Lake Hotel Reviews

Dao House

8/10 Good

"It was very nice. I would recommend it."

Rivendell Log Cabin - walk into RMNP! Continental Divide Views! Large Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"Rivendell was the perfect cabin for my family - 8 adults and 7 children ages 5 and under. It had beautiful views from every porch and is next door to the YMCA of the Rockies where you can get day passes for those interested. It is very close to the southern entrance to the National Park meaning you did not have to drive through town to get there. We spotted elk, deer, and turkeys from the decks. The owner was very responsive to any advance questions. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishware and flatware (important to a group of 15)."

Idlewilde by the River

10/10 Excellent

"This was a pleasant surprise. Is like a little cabin very close to the park. No Air conditioning, but enought fans. Very spacious and clean. It had everything we needed. We received a code for the door and the WiFi details via email. We never had a need to contact the property. There was a jacuzzi we used one night. The kids loved the cabin as each had a double bed."

Mountain getaway with separate bunkhouse, deck, & trail access

10/10 Excellent

"The pictures don’t do it justice. The views and location are spectacular, the beds are comfy and the house is very well appointed, as is the bunkhouse. It wears its history well, but has top line fixtures and the updated finishes only add to the grandeur of the place. Because of its location perched atop a granite outcropping, it feels like a chateau, but functions like a super comfortable bungalow, with kids games, TVs, a dedicated wine fridge, and a beautiful subzero refrigerator. Having both a standard 12-cup coffee maker and a modern quick response Keurig was ideal with 13 people of varying caffeination requirements.The outdoor gas fireplace is ideal to gather and gaze at the stars, share stories of daily adventures, and relax before bed. Which brings me to the main quirk, for which you’ll want to plan ahead.There are plenty of beds, but only two small bedrooms in the main have doors that offer a modicum of privacy.The upstairs master is a dream King bed room with a beautiful en-suite bath, but as it’s at the top of the stairs at the entry, there’s no bedroom door to shut, and hence no real privacy. Even so, this is definitely the best room, but bring earplugs, or you’ll be up with the first to awaken.The bunkhouse has a beautiful king, but is also in the same wide open space with two bunks and one twin. A bath, and laundry compliment the kitchenette.So if sharing space and divvying 3 baths, two kings, and countless twins, isn’t an issue, then you’re golden!"
