Fun cozy family getaway

We had a blast at Bear Lair lodge! The house was beautiful and well-equipped (especially loved the body wash/lotion in bathrooms) and communication with Michelle was excellent. She also gave great recommendations for surrounding restaurants and we had a fun and low-key first family trip as a family of 5 (kids 3, 2, and 4 months). If we return to the area we would absolutely stay here again!

A lovely, warm, spacious property in a good location

There were so many things that make this a likely comeback experience. The home itself is warm, classy, plenty of room and oh so comfortable. It's part of a community of homes that has a modest clubhouse but the clubhouse is great. There is an indoor and outdoor pool, and when it rained, we took our toddler to the indoor pool. When it was sunny, the outdoor pool, playground, and cornhole toss were perfect ways to spend the late afternoon. The town is lovely and reasonably small. There's plenty to do, and the VRBO owner was always responsive and helpful. Where to buy fresh fish? I just texted and got my response. What's there to do for toddlers? Visit the natural museum. All in all, a great stay with a great owner--5 stars all the way!

Amazing Home, Perfect for Families

We had a weekend in Vermont during Leaf Season and found this GEM of a home to gather with our children and grandchild. The home is just gorgeous, spacious, perfect for family dinners (large dining room table with a fireplace right there - great ambiance) and downstairs game room and den (also with fireplace) so much fun and filled with games, air hockey, etc. The bedrooms are spread out (2 on main, master on 2nd and loft bedroom on 3rd) so we all had our privacy. Kitchen is first rate and very spacious. The actual "living room" had a wood burning fireplace (our favorite) and lots of seating space. We spent two afternoons outdoors around the fire pit. The leaves were beautiful, the weather sunny and in the 60s, and it made for the best afternoon gathering, after returning from Apple Picking. I can't say enough about the host, Michele, and her excellent communication with us. LOVE LOVE LOVE! The kids also used the clubhouse (no charge) for the indoor pool and hot tub and the playground for our 1 year old granddaughter. The town of Wilmington is small, with several cute places for dining or carryout (we carried out two nights because we loved the home so much). Our favorite was breakfast at Dots of Wilmington. Get the cajun scramble or the pancakes (or both!) We hope to come back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Tieniber

Welcome to Bear Lair Lodge!
Our family loves to ski together in Vermont. For years we have visited Vermont and all that the seasons have to offer . We recently found our own Vermont home to enjoy and we hope you will enjoy it too! Nestled in the woods near Mount Snow & Stratton it is a wonderful location. We are close to historic downtown Wilmington restaurants and shopping.

Why they chose this property

This home is the perfect location for every season in Vermont. We wanted to be close to Mount Snow for winter skiing, and for the gorgeous summers with hiking, biking, boating, fishing, swimming, golf, canoeing etc. There are endless opportunities to have family fun in the Green Mountains! The adventure list goes on into the Fall season with its spectacular foliage season and hiking trails within the Community of Chimney Hill ,nearby Molly Stark Park and Mount Snow. There are many boutique shops, antiquing, and many restaurants to explore in the Wilmington area.

What makes this property unique

The many benefits of being at this home include the privacy and the unique spacious indoor living areas and outdoor deck area. The well appointed living space along with dining and kitchen offer the perfect gathering for family vacation time. The home is within walking distance to the Clubhouse with outdoor and indoor heated pools all included with your stay! We look forward to your visit soon.
