Bear Valley Lodge is a historic building in an amazing location, offering a step back in time to a late 1960s style retreat for mountain adventures. The lodge has seen recent remodels and updates, maintaining a nice, homey atmosphere. Rooms are good, though some note a lack of air conditioning, blackout curtains, and amenities like in-room fridges; basic amenities are available in rooms or at the front desk. The venue is stunning with a nice open common area featuring a big fireplace and board games to borrow. The staff is consistently described as super nice, friendly, and helpful. On-site restaurants are fine, though some find the food a little salty, and dining options in the area are limited. The location provides easy access to skiing, walking, and scenic drives. Some minor issues are noted, such as noise between rooms, occasional maintenance needs like outlets or windows, and variable shuttle wait times. Overall, guests find it a good value and would definitely return, recommending it for a fun trip.
What an amazing location and historic building. They are doing updates and making improvements to bring the lodge back to its former glory in the manner of the late 1960s. Take a step back in time, to walk, dine, and ski where celebrities enjoyed a retreat to mountain adventures.
