Our only suggestion would be for the owner to install a thermostat that can be adjusted remotely so the unit can be warmed prior to guest arrival. When we arrived, the outside temperature was in the 30s and the inside temperature was 55, and it took approximately seven hours for the unit to warm up. Other than that, everything was excellent and we really enjoyed our stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e502629-f7e4-4f04-bf14-bd07ce6a7656-1765890445746.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ce6a4b75-effb-4ebb-916f-9dec3748a52b-1765890445681.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30946d2e-a2fb-4396-95e8-5d0f4d42f4ac-1765890445338.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/62750d2b-92b7-4792-9dd0-43cec396d27c-1765890445200.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Blake G.

I think this property was made specifically for us, on the perfect weekend we chose. The stars aligned perfectly, and we found Bear Pause! We actually drove up the mountain and got to trudge through snow up to our knees with snow in our hair as we came to our weekend paradise. Our friends who had never seen snow thought it was super cool (literally and figuratively) and so did we! ##### Melissa O.

Bit of a hiccup getting in as the code wasn’t communicated in VRBO but I contacted the property manager and she immediately responded with the code. The code didn’t work but she was able to give me a code that did. She was also on vacation but she was prompt in ensuring I was still cared for and even checked in early. Veda was professional and helpful and wonderful to work with. Beds were comfortable, well stocked kitchen, conveniently located to just about everything. Only thing stated should have been there that wasn’t was there were no outside furniture and no grill but that may have been put away given the weather conditions but not sure. Plenty of games to play and cable to watch. Wish the living room had a smart TV but we made the most of it. Plenty of room for the 5 of us but the pull out couch in the loft needs a new mattress. There was a foam topper on it but that didn’t really help. Only other thing that I would say is the dryer took about two hours to dry a basic load. May just need to clean out the dryer vent. Overall it was a nice stay and would stay again. ##### Mariah G.
