Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The Brown Bear Lodge is half-way up a mountain and is surrounded on three sides by a national park. Get ready for an amazing view! It's 3/4 of a mile from the community entrance- which is directly across from the lake. When we go to the lake we normally walk or pop in the car.

Guest Access

You are renting the entire lodge so you will have access to everything. The only exception is a closet where the owners keep their personal clothes.

We had a wonderful Christmas week with our large family last month. The kitchen was amazing, fully stocked with any convenience imaginable and huge. The children loved all the games, the pickleball, the pool table and ping pong. The view was spectacular. Brad was extremely hands on in every instance throughout the process which we greatly appreciated. The 2 large fireplaces made for cozy, fun evenings. It’s rare to find a place large enough for our 14 little grandchildren and our children and spouses where we could enjoy one another without being on top of one another and to be able to find quiet places when desired. It was a perfect set up for us and many joyful memories were made as we shared in the spirit of Christmas celebrating the birth of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Many thanks to the Brown’s for making this happen!

We stayed here with friends and kids over New Years. The house was very accommodating for families and had plenty of room for everyone The view was beautiful and we enjoyed the spacious house as well as the hot tub! The only thing missing would be an outdoor fire pit if there were any additions to make in the future. We loved staying at this house and would recommend to friends!
