Bear Paw Lodge is one of our favorite spots! We fell in love with this area last summer. It will become a reoccurring destination for our family. Our 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath unit was perfect. The balcony was slope side which was so nice for sitting out in the morning with coffee to watch the wildlife. The only improvement I could suggest is adding AC (even window units for the bedrooms). We worked with a local company to get portable A/C units installed for our visit. The covered reserved parking was nice, but agree the space was tight for a full size SUV. We loved the pool and hot tub area. Highly recommend hiking down to the Ritz for drinks on the patio/yard area.
True ski in and ski out!! Almost half way up the mountain in Bachelor's Gulch. Gorgeous views and the entire property is very well maintained. Multiple hot tubs for the end of a long ski day and a pool for the kiddos. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Our favorite place to stay in the Beaver Creek.
