Golden Bear Lodge

Great house, lots of activities, location is perfect.

Beautiful house. It worked very well for our family. We would book it again (and plan to!)

Great get away with the family. There was a lot of space and the game room was a hit with the kids, will definitely be returning to this location.

This house was perfect for our ski vacation! Just a 5 minute drive to Heavenly allowed us to get in a couple of very full days of skiing. It was great to come home to a well stocked and very clean home. The kitchen was a cooks kitchen with every pot and utensil imaginable. The provided k-cups were a nice touch. The living room was comfortable for watching a movie as a family. The pool table and shuffleboard were a hit with the kids. We will stay again here if we are ever in the area! Golden Bear Lodge is AWESOME!

The home is beautiful, the kitchen is large. the rooms are tidy. The owners have left notes in every room to help make the experience easy and pleasurable. The unlocked closet in the master bedroom contains everything you would need for your stay, including fans, extra blankets, pillows, inflatable mattresses, etc. The outdoor seating is a delight and you really feel like you can relax in wide open spaces.

Clean and fresh cabin absorbed 8 adults, 5 mountain bikes, a boat, two jet skis, trucks to trailer them and an additional car fir the week without breaking a sweat! Freshly remodeled, only the spa equipment was not available. The owners were up front and fair about that before we arrived. New appliances purred, well stocked kitchen ( minus food of course), pool table, shuffleboard as advertised. WiFi was good, smart TVs worked, extra games were stocked (and used). Very close to power line MTB trail and close enough to downtown and the lake. Large bathrooms, fancy showers, comfy beds. No distractions from our planned activities. Could easily see us staying here again!

We had a great stay, there was even snow during our trip that was beautiful!! The house was gorgeous, even tho there were a few issues that we had during our stay it was almost perfect!!

This was a great place to stay. Plenty of room for our large family. The kids had fun sledding down the hill on property. Just a short drive into town for shopping and restaurants. Definitely will stay here again.

Stayed at this property with my kids and grandkids and let me tell ya, it didn't disappoint one bit. From the second you walk in the door its exactly what the pics on line are and then some. That's after I was almost been ran over by the kids to get in to claim what room was going to be there's for the stay. Every room had more than enough space for everyone and there stuff.

The kitchen is large so if you planning to cook your meals you'll have plenty of room for it all. Or if your like us we ordered in to support the local businesses and let me tell ya again you won't be disappointed. Sonnies BBQ was outstanding, had the saint Luis ribs and there are now one of my top two best ribs ever. Dont forget the potatoe skins either when you go there to. The jalapeño corn bread was awesome as well. Then there's Big Daddys Burgers which wasn't a disappointment either.

As always your needing that pizza place, again no disappointment there either. We found Base Camp pizza at the Heavenly shops by the gondola. There BBQ chicken pizza was really good. If your looking for Gluten-free well they have it and its good, we asked to have the bread sticks done gluten free and you couldn't tell the difference.

Then there's the game room with the pool table, the shuffleboard and the video game table with more games than you can play over your stay.

The hot tub was a hit every day we got back from skiing.

Theres no need to worry about how things will work in the house cause there's a detailed three ring binder on how and what to do for the house. It has pictures in it as well of everything which is my kinda reading material so no worries on how things work.

If you skiing at Heavenly mostly its latterly 8 minutes away from driveway to parking at the lot at the main lodge. Not to mention its only about 12 minutes to down town to do what ever your wanting to do.

We skied at Kirkwood for a day as well which took us about 30-40 minutes at most to get to as well.

There's room on the property for sledding which everyone can watch from the decks on the side and back of the house as well.

Our family really enjoyed this property and has already put plans into action for it being our go to place to stay when we visit Tahoe weather its winter skiing or summer jet skiing on the lake.

You should have zero reservations or worries about booking this property cause it won't disappoint thats for sure.

Enjoy

We enjoyed our stay at this house. The location and was great, and the neighborhood was quiet. The game room was awesome and kept the kids and adults entertained. The kids loved the arcade game which has around 700 games loaded on it. To switch games you have to hold down the player one button until you see a separate window pop up, it took us a while to figure that out. The bedrooms were great with the king size beds, and it was nice that one of the downstairs bedrooms had it’s own private bathroom with a large shower and walk-in closet. The kids room was tight with the two large bunk beds in there, but it’s a kids room, they don’t need a lot of space. The only minor problem with this rental was that during the hot summer days, the house heats up because of the large living room windows, and ends up feeling to warm in the house. Down stairs it stays cooler. There was also speakers in the living room and game room, but there was no way to use them. We didn’t see a docking station or receiver that was connected to them. The only other downside is the check out time. It would be nicer if it was at least 11:00 am and not 10:00 am. we felt very rushed in the morning packing up and doing our part to clean up. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend this rental.

The house is beautiful, in a great location and fit our family of 10 perfectly. The shuffleboard, pool table and hot tub were all a hit. A few minor issues however prevented me from giving 5 stars.. 1) Management company nickeled and dimed and charged another $60 to check in at noon even though property was ready for us. We went ahead and paid it so we could unload our things before starting our day in Lake Tahoe, however, even with paying extra we had to sit outside of the house for 30 minutes waiting for the clock to tick to noon. No one came in or out of the house (cleaning) so house was ready, but they wouldn't work with us even a bit to let us in before noon. (even having paid $60 to check in at noon) 2) Towels provided are exactly for the number of guests for the week so if one or two ended up on the floor, or used for hot tub, you have to do laundry to make sure everyone has a towel. They should at least store a couple of extra in the laundry room. 3) We found some caked on food on some pans, so had to wash the pans before using. 4) Check your total rate before booking.. exhorbitant cleaning fee (compared to other places) at $480.

There were 4 couples and we all had kids. We happened to get snowed in a few days, so it was nice there was the game room with pool table, shuffleboard and the video game table with a ton of games as well as the hot tub which we used. We also brought our fire stick tv to play games and watch movies. The main complaint were the mattresses.. they definitely need to be upgraded. Not very comfortable. Other then that it felt like there was enough room and there was enough seating in the living room for all the adults to relax and watch a movie together. There were some reviews about the furniture being old.. we all thought the couches were comfy. But were not super picky either. Even though we got snowed in, we were able to sled down the side if the house...so we made the best of it. Overall everyone was happy.

We loved staying at the Golden Bear Lodge. This home is set up to accommodate a larger group. We went with 3 couples and will definitely rent it again to bring our children back k. The main floor is very open and their is lots of seating. The game room was truly a hit. The location was quiet and conveniently located an easy drive to the village or lake. The home is also stocked with lots of games and books for you to enjoy. If you are fussy about your cooking equipment you may want to bring a few frying pans. They have many to use but they are sort of on the overused side. Overall I would highly recommend this home and look forward to going back!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS, CELEBRATING OUR DAUGHTER’s 21st BDAY!! MATTRESSES MUST BE REPLACED, ugh.

This home was amazing. 6 adults 4 kids fit perfectly. Hot water stayed hot even with everyone showering and laundry and dishwashing. The sheets did not fit the bed well, so they came off every night, but that was all I had to complain about. Could not figure out the garage door either, but our three cars were able to fit in the driveway with ease.

We really enjoyed the home - great for multiple families, and a really nice, open living space to hang out in.

Very well maintained, clean and spacious. The game room was the cherry on top.

This is an amazing spot for a ski weekend - I would stay here a week if I could. There's plenty of room for bigger groups and has nice touches like surround sound stereos and a pool table. Plus the hot tub - this house has it all.

I stayed at Golden Bear Lodge with friends this past summer and absolutely loved the house. It's spacious, updated, yet cozy, and has a great set up for hosting a few friends for dinner. The location was convenient to get into town and even had a beautiful hiking path in the woods across the street. I would definitely recommend the house and hope to stay here again soon!
