1965NP The Bears Den

The owners created the "Bears Den" at Lake Tahoe with family's looking to explore and play in Tahoe in mind. A complete makeover allowed the owners to add a total "Tahoe Package" to this home. With vaulted pine ceilings, cozy river rock wood burning fireplace, full Spectrum TV package, a very private deck with a hot tub, a pool table/air hockey game(small size), and log and pine furniture throughout this is exactly the Tahoe get-a-way you have been dreaming of! The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, plates and bowls etc, most everything you need to cook a family meal.

Located in an upscale and secluded area of South Lake Tahoe this home is minutes to Sierra @Tahoe, Heavenly and Kirkwood. Fallen Leaf Lake and Echo Lake are just minutes away as well and all the glitter of the heart of South Shore's famous casinos are 13 minutes away!

Take a stroll down the street and hike into the Lake Tahoe back-country and Desolation Wilderness. If you love to ski, snowshoe, cross country ski, sled, mountain bike, hike or just goof off this is your next vacation destination. By the way, we provide all linens including flannel sheets, cozy down comforters. It truly is all right here at "The Bears Den".
The house has vacant lots to the back and the side-lots of room for the kids to play or if we have enough snow to build a snowman.

  a guest from Palo Alto, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We were offered this cabin as a substitute for another one that became unavailable at the last minute. It was very clean, well equipped and we appreciated the hot tub. Some parts of the house could use an upgrade and it was a little too small for us - but would be perfect for a smaller family. The management company was extremely responsive when helping us substitute for the unavailable rental.

  Sheridan P from Berkeley, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This was a cozy cabin that served our two families with young kids very well. The hot tub was great and we enjoyed the comfortable living room and dining area. The pool/foosball table was a hit with the kids. We would definitely enjoy staying here again. Great location in Meyers!
  
  The driveway was pretty slippery with a thick coating of ice and slopes downward just a bit towards the house, so just be careful. We were fine, but just something to be aware of.
  
  I'd say the rugs or something could probably use a deep clean and airing out, as there was a slight (not a big deal) cheese odor.
  
  We enjoyed it and would definitely rent this cabin again!

  • Manager Responded on 2/15/2023

    Thank you for the feedback, greatly appreciated. Carpets were cleaned 2/15/23! And a new BBQ installed. The driveway is a challenge this year--lots of snow and when there are guests that drive on the snow it packs it into ice--we are always working to chip away at it. We hope you come back-contact us depending on your date we offer repeat guest discounts. Update 2.17.23 we brought in a jack hammer and remove a lot of ice. The problem is when there are people in the house coming and going during storms (25 days in a row this year) they pack the snow into ice. if no one was there we can remove snow no problem, but when guests are there it becomes difficult.

  This was the best vacation where everything was perfect: accomodations, weather, etc. The Bear's Den cabin is situated on a large wooded lot in a quiet neighborhood. It is decorated in a High Sierra/Tahoe/Bear motif which we loved. The cabin is just perfect: clean, nicely equipped, roomy, comfortable - just lovely. We can't wait to return.

  Overall this was a great place to stay. Everything we needed was there for us. The location is beautiful and very quiet. The only suggestion I would make is to update the pillows and sheets. Pillows were flat and old and the sheets were dingy. For the price of the rental these items should be decent.
  I would stay again and bring my own next time because it is a nice cabin.

  We had a wonderful time at the Bear's Den. We were 2 families each with 2 small children (toddlers and babies). The older kids loved the bunk bed. The place was spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was a hit too! We loved the location in Meyers. It served as a convenient place to go to Heavenly and Kirkwood for skiing.
  
  We had an issue with the stove - one of the burners wouldn't turn on. Michelle was very responsive.

  My family (2 adults + 2 kids + 1 chihuahua) along with some close friends (2 adults + 1 kid) stayed for 5 nights, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time at Bear’s Den. The bunkbed was great for the kids, and the fact that the bunk room was tucked in the back of the house allowed for the adults to stay up and enjoy some adult time in the jacuzzi. The grill, the air purifier, the large table, and the comfy couches were all great. We also enjoyed the quiet of the neighborhood. Thanks for the great experience!

  Alexander L from San Francisco , CA recommends this vacation rental

  3 couples went away for 6 nights for a 26th birthday.
  
  Pros:
  
  The cabin was perfect - Cozy, spacious, and remote. The cabin is about 20 minutes from Heavenly/downtown South Lake Tahoe, while also near beautiful hiking trails. Perfect for our two dogs. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking everyday, and the bedrooms were comfortable. The living room also had a great area for board games, or for working remotely (4 of us were working for four days). The wifi isn't 100% perfect, but we were all able to work with minor hiccups. The hot tub was perfect as well - Great temperature and amazing to look at the stars when relaxing at night.
  
  The best part is how responsive Michelle and the management team is. We came prepared to come to the cabin based on all of the other comments (bring cooking utensils, old oven, etc), to find that the team had already taken care of everything based on previous feedback and comments. This is a great sign for any management company.
  
  Cons:
  
  The cabin was slightly dirty/dusty (but nothing you would not expect staying in a cabin, and the smoke from the fireplace sometimes got trapped in the living room. These conditions are not ideal if you have intense asthma/allergies.
  
  Wifi could be a little stronger if you plan on having 4+ people working, but if not it would be great for 1 or 2 people!
  
  There were not enough paper towels, but a grocery store ~5 minutes away so we could buy some easily.
  
  Overall:
  
  
  I would highly recommend staying at the Bears Den (or other Pinnacle Lake Tahoe homes)!

  The property was clean and in a very quiet neighborhood. It's a great place for a family or a getaway with your quarantine crew! The neighborhood is great for walking. THe hot tub was clean but VERY hot. Some basic items missing in the kitchen, so if you stay here and plan to cook, bring cooking oil and their was only one spatula, so you will need one of those too. Nice clean dishes, utensils and bathrooms. SOme of the plastic cups were a little gross. Even laundry on site and 2 bathrooms. TV was great for evenings inside. We didn't try the fireplace as it wasn't that cold yet. Heat was a little tempermental (either too hot or too cold). Yard is not fenced. But over all great place to stay.

  The house was very nice and close to everything. There was a dead animal smell that I let the rental company know about with no response. I also requested a later checkout as our daughter was in a horrible ski accident that required surgery and no one responded...They were very responsive when when collecting the deposit money however.

  • Manager Responded on 2/2/2020

    I am a little confused as I did call after receiving your message and said you could stay as long as you needed since we did not have a guest checking in immediately after your stay, I also asked if you needed any assistance after the accident. Cell phone reception in Tahoe is often spotty and maybe you did not receive the message. . I had the home inspected and no one else reported a smell.

  The cabin is very "Tahoe" like. Very private and spacious. The kitchen was complete with everything. The furniture was comfortable and the house was clean. The TV had many remotes and took us awhile to figure out which one turned the TV on. LOL! The pool table is not a regulation size, but a kiddy size, but the Hot Tub was the perfect end to an amazing day on the slopes. The fireplace was beautiful and they left lots of wood to burn, which I thought was very private as we bought our own. Would certainly recommend and stay there again

    Thank you, we thought since it was Christmas we would provide a little extra firewood, not something we always do. We hope you come back and visit us again. We will check the tech notes to make sure the remotes make sense.

  The Good:
  -This is in a very quiet location, and it is a 5 minute drive to the "Y"
  -Plenty of plates and silverware so you don't have to run the dishwasher after every meal
  -The manager responded quickly to my email
  -Comfortable beds and cabin decor/furniture
  
  The bad:
  -Multiple safety hazards; broken window locks, a nail sticking up in the entry way to one of the bathrooms, a board on the ground on the side of the house with 2 rusty screws sticking out
  -Dried blood on the bed sheets
  -We couldn't get the DVD's to play, despite my background installing satellite systems, and knowledge of connecting equipment
  -The hot tub was unusable for the first few days, due to excessive chemicals that burned our eyes.
  
  I have stayed in probably 20 vacation rentals, and I do my best to share the good and the bad. I understand that no place is perfect, and I would likely stay here again.

  A nice remodel especially if you want to get a little way away from the town and enjoy the backcountry. We enjoyed going to the end of the street and being able to take our husky for long walks, and my husband even took him out for cross country skiing. I don’t know who loved it more, us, or our husky! It was also an easy enough drive to Heavenly, Stateline, and Sierra-at-Tahoe. Pinnacle was quick to respond to a question about the hot tub. No problems overall. Bath rooms could use a little more updating, but served our purposes well. Took multiple tries to get the lock box locked again, but finally got it. Overall, a great stay, and would return in the future to this home.

  Greshma J from WEST VALLEY CITY, UT recommends this vacation rental

  Pros:
  1. Good location and easy to find. Not too far from the lake, hidden falls trail, tallac historic site etc.,
  2. The cabin was clean and stocked with enough towels, blankets etc and some toiletries.
  3. The woods behind the cabin is a nice and peaceful spot to sit down for a quiet morning or unwind for the day in the evening.
  4. Comfortable bedrooms
  
  Cons:
  1. Kitchen is tiny, especially when you have a large group of people.
  2. Driveway is too small to park more than 2 cars.
  3. The bathrooms in the cabin require see upkeep. The shower in one bathroom was sagging downwards, it seemed like the floor underneath it had rotted. The shower settings are weird, it's hard to figure out what is hot and what is cold.

  Steve P from Stockton, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This was a great cabin for our family. Everything was clean and well stocked with everything that we needed. Hot tub was very nice and got used nightly. Very quiet neighborhood.
  
  There’s stores and anything else you’ll need to buy with a quick 10-15 minute drive into town.
  
  The staff at Pinnicle was very friendly and helpful with any question that I had. Check-in instructions were very thorough and easy to follow.
  
  Can’t wait till the next trip!

  a guest from Piedmont, CA recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed there over our kid's spring break for spring ski at Sierra at Tahoe. (First week of April). It is about 15 min. drive from the ski ground and convenient location. We are glad we bought all the food and beverages before we approached to the area because there's no large grocery stores near by. The biggest reason we booked this place was the hot tub, which was great! Good temperature, big enough for the family of 5. We loved the cleanliness of kitchen, bathrooms, bed linens, etc. All the tableware and cookware are sufficient and served their purpose. The email instructions were very detailed and easy to understand how to use the key box and the spare key location was easy to find. One thing depends on your cellphone carrier you may have a bad reception to read the email instruction, so we had to drive back to the highway to download and screenshot the email instruction. I could have used WiFi? but the password was also in that email!. We'd definitely recommend this place to my family friends and hope we come back with our friends and extended family as well.

  Mark P from san francisco, CA recommends this vacation rental

  The Bear's Den was a great getaway for us. We were three families with young kids and the cabin didn't feel cramped at all. There was a storm the day before so fresh snow on the ground when we got there. The large backyard was a favorite for the kids wanting to play in the snow. Centrally located, the cabin was close enough to the ski resorts (15 min to Sierra at Tahoe) yet far enough removed for a quiet evening. Lira's supermarket less than 10 minutes away for quick trips to the store. Will definitely recommend to friends looking for a similar experience.

  Michelle L from Santa Clara, CA recommends this vacation rental

  This place is a perfect Tahoe home away from home. It's clean and cozy but spacious, and comes with all the amenities of home. The dining table is the perfect place for dinner gatherings or evening games, and the big fireplace warms the room and creates a magical ambiance. The bedrooms are big and the bunks are great for the kiddos. And the hot tub is an added bonus! Great way to relax in the afternoon or under the stars at night. The location may not be ideal for all (it's close to Sierra but not near Heavenly or the casinos) but it's quiet and only about a 20 minute drive to Stateline. I love this place and highly recommend; can't wait to go back!

  We really enjoyed our stay here. The only issue was that one of the beds (the sofa bed) was very uncomfortable and really not suitable for sleeping in. There were also no sheets available for this bed. Luckily our group of 7 was able to manage comfortably with the other beds that were available.

  • Manager Responded on 11/30/2017

    Thank you for the notes, will look into replacing the sofa bed (unfortunately pull out couches are usually uncomfortable) and yes sheets will be in the linen closet.

  My party, which included three toddlers and their parents, had a WONDERFUL time at The Bear's Den. The house is well-sized and perfectly appointment. We loved the hot tub, and the house is perfectly situated (far enough from South Lake to avoid the crowds, close to the ski resorts and hiking). We also had fantastic interactions with the management team (Beverly and Michelle). We look forward to returning soon!

  Thank you so much for this beautiful experience at The Bear's Den it was our son's birthday and we had a great time we are glad that we found this nice and cozy place to expend a weekend with our family. I'm sorry our review is late but the holidays and work make our days so busy we love this place and we would hope to come back. We came at the perfect time when there was snow every where and the kids could make a big slide to play. I recommend this property for future vacations The Bears's Den Cabin is a place that it has everything you need the kitchen is equip the rooms are cozy there's a nice Jacuzzi the living room is big and it has a pool table. Thank you again for this beautiful time.
