We loved the house itself and the hot tub.
We loved the house itself and the hot tub. We came back for a second stay because we love it so much. It is a blessing to sit in the hot tub, looking at sunset, the moon or the stars after a day cross-country skiing at nearby White Grass. The house has easy winter access (compared to some houses on steep hills in the Timberline). A big plus: the Wi-Fi is reasonably fast (for the countryside) and (most importantly) reliable! It did not go out during our two stays. I caught up on work here every evening. Easy to access WiFi as well (no issues). Named after the owner, her husband, and her daughter, the “Three Bears” is a tastefully decorated home with a lot of thoughtful touches. It was very clean and well maintained. We were here for Christmas in December 2020 and there was a beautiful Christmas tree by the fireplace; each bed had a plush bear. This time, in January, there was no tree but the giant teddy bear in the living room remains. From decorative plates to paintings, this place is decked out in the theme of black bears. Great insulation (important in winter months!). House is well stocked in terms of toilet papers, kitchen paper towels, and bath and face towels. The downstairs bedroom has a closet with hangers which come handy. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked every meal here during our week-long stay and during our previous stay as well. Do bring (olive) oil for cooking. The highlights are the wooden panels throughout, the A-frame ceiling, and the big windows in the second floor main bedroom with an amazing view of the runway (this is a fly-in resort) and Timberline mountains in the distance. They’ve got Sleep Number beds, and every corner of the house shows love and the owners’ passions: old snow shoes, old cross-country skis, lamps made from parts of bicycles, books on bicycling and hiking, and more.
