Bear Pause

By James, Posted: 01/12/2025

The Winter Park Staff was wonderful. Everything at the Bear Pause rental was top notch and we had no issues or concerns. They checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we were comfortable and had no questions. I will be back again next year for sure!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Thank you so much for your review James! We are glad you had a top notch stay.

Bear Pause was an excellent home away from home. It’s located in a beautiful quiet community with lots of dirt roads for walking and enjoying the lovely scenery; lots of trees; wildlife; beautiful views of the mountains and sunset. Our family loved to use the deck on the main level throughout the day. It was well covered at all points or the day and even during rain. When we arrived at the rental, it was meticulously cleaned! That made us really happy considering it is an animal friendly rental. Much appreciation to the cleaning crew for taking great care of this home and making sure it was an excellent condition when we arrived. The house is very well stocked, the check out directions were SO easy and staff did such an excellent job communicating and checking in. Thank you for the great stay. We loved the Fraser/Winter Park area so much and can’t wait to come back and rent again

MANAGERS COMMENTS: Kristen, WOW thank you so much for that glowing review! We love when guests feel like they are at home when they stay with us, and take pride in preparing our properties for our guests. We are so glad you stayed with us, and would love to host you again!

This is our second stay at Bear Pause. Although most people don't spend much time watching TV, why are there TVs in the bedrooms and no signal to watch anything? Everything else was wonderful!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: It was great to host you again! We will have our property care team check in on the TV situation for sure! We are so happy you had a wonderful stay at Bear Pause.

Great location and views. We were active in the area appreciating the quiet surroundings in the evening. RMNP was our main goal to visit and this house is not far from the entrance. Check in and out was easy and low impact. Thanks for hosting our family.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: We are glad you got to visit Rocky Mountain National Park. It is an amazing place. Give us a call when you want to plan you next adventure. We would love to host your family again!

I love this place! A darling home with enough room for all and super clean and comfy. Great location that's quiet yet close to all the "stuff". 2 car garage is terrific to keep everything warm and snow-free. It snowed a ton so we really appreciated that! Great that the dog could come too....always sad to leave him out. The WP lodging folks were terrific and so informative/helpful. Happy to come back as soon as we can!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  It's great when you don't have shovel off vehicles and your dog gets a vacation too.  So pleased we could help you out and do reach out to us again!  ~  The Winter Park Lodging Company Team

As former home owners in Grand County, we wanted to return and experience all that the area has to offer post-Covid. We had 4 teenage boys with us and they were exhausted at the end of our stay! The Bear Pause house met our needs perfectly. It was clean, had a well-appointed kitchen, accommodations for all of us with ample space to spread out, was quiet for wonderful sleeping, was physically close to the main road to get to our destinations, grocery store, and had beautiful views of Byers Peak and surrounding mountains. We would highly recommend this property and Lodging company.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Wow, thank you Robert for this review on Bear Pause! Our team loved reading it and we will make sure to share it with the owner. Thank you for recommending the home and our company to future guests. We hope you have a great rest of your summer and will stay with us again.

An absolutely beautiful home. Customer Service is spectacular,,,. David was very nice with helping me find this place for my small vacation. My mother and my sister and brother really enjoyed everything. Super really appreciate the Winter Park Lodging team......not all superheroes wear capes!   

MANAGER COMMENTS -  Hahahahaha!  We LOVE your style Walter.  So pleased you and your family enjoyed your time and getting to work with David....he's the greatest!  We hope this means you'll be joining us again either in Winter Park or maybe trying Steamboat next trip.  We'll be excited to work with you again!    ~   The Winter Park Lodging Company "superheros"

The home was perfect for our 4 adults and 5 children! The separate living room space in the basement gave us the opportunity to spread out a bit when needed/wanted. There were plenty of towels and starter supplies needed for the week. An easy location to get to and from Winter Park for skiing and close to the grocery store too! Would definitely recommend Bear Pause!

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Fantastic to hear Aaron! Thank you for sharing your vacation and we hope you'll be back for more adventures.

Our extended family enjoyed a very pleasant stay. We were not able to check out later but understand it was a busy time for spring break. Loved having a 2 car garage and a quiet neighborhood to enjoy ourselves. Even got to bring our old dog....I'm pretty sure he enjoyed as well! Many thanks for letting us enjoy your home.

MANAGER'S COMMENTS: Bear Pause is the perfect home for family get togethers! Thank you so much for sharing your trip feedback with us. So happy you were able to bring your pup along. That makes for a special vacation. We hope to see you next time!

This house was super clean and the beds were very comfortable for my bad back. House was well equipped with anything you needed. The neighborhood was quiet and close to the grocery store and Winter Park. Would definitely stay here again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay with us Erin.  Thanks for coming back and hope to be hosting you again soon!

By Tammy, Posted: 01/05/2021

Great house for multiple families. Located close by grocery store, restaurants, and only 10-15 min drive to Winter Park Resort. Would definitely stay here again!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Many thanks for sharing your stay.  We hope you'll come back and stay soon!

Great location with easy access to main arteries and quiet dirt roads. Well equipped, great appliances (I might be upgrading my own after using their stove), nice open floor plan. The hot tub was clean and towels were nearby. There was some cleaning issues that I reported but the rental team was very responsive and promptly offered to send out a cleaning crew! Great service.

MANAGER COMMENT:  We strive to keep the bar high on cleaning, sorry we dropped the ball a bit before your stay. Thank you for allowing us to make it right for you. We hope to host you again.

This was my first visit with friends to the Winter Park area and I thoroughly enjoyed the full experience of the mountain, restaurants and our excellent accommodations. Our house was very nice, spacious and just a short drive to the slopes. It is beautifully decorated and furnished, with full amenities and immaculate housekeeping. The kitchen area is contemporary and open to the family room, very convenient for everyone to gather and share a meal. The hot tub on the ground floor patio offered a nice view of the mountains and was welcome relief at the end of the day! I would recommend Bear Pause to anyone staying in the Winter Park area and look forward to visiting there again soon!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  So pleased you enjoyed your stay there.  It is a nice, quiet setting yet so close to it all!  Hope you'll come back to stay with us again sometime.

This condo is one of the best I’ve stayed in in 20 + years of skiing in Colorado and Utah. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The beds are very comfortable. Likewise the common areas are large and very nicely decorated. There are lots of cable TV’s throughout. The kitchen is very well equipped. Most everything in the condo appears new. The 2 car garage and its adjacent mud room have plenty of room for your gear. It’s a 10-15 minute drive to the Winter Park Village base and the town is even closer. It’s a great place and I hope to return soon.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  We are all so thrilled you enjoyed your time up here with us.  Please do let us know when your travels bring you back to the mountains.

By Scott, Posted: 01/01/2020

This is the perfect house for a family vacation. The accommodations are perfect and it’s close to the slopes and downtown Winter Park.

MANAGER COMMENT: Perfect is the best word for us to hear! Glad you and your family had a wonderful stay.

We had a great stay here. The property has 2 master bedrooms, another bedroom with a king bed, and a bedroom with 2 bunk beds (one with double beds, one with single). There are also basically two living rooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. The couch downstairs was especially comfortable. Great for watching movies. We loved the wood frames of the bunk beds. All of the decor throughout the house was great. We enjoyed the private hot tub, and also the fact that the property is a single family home. There was no neighboring wall like a townhome. It gave greater privacy. The large, heated garage was also very nice. When in the hot tub, there are no neighbors nearby. There is a road within view, but very little traffic. It would be the kind of property that we would like to own if we were buying.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Terrific!  We are all so pleased you all enjoyed your time up in the mountains with us at Bear Pause cabin.  It is a great little, quiet neighborhood up there.  Please call us again when you come back to play in Winter Park.

By Amber, Posted: 02/27/2019

Lovely spot to enjoy the snow with our family!  Plenty of towels, blankets and all the necessities for a pleasant stay away from home.  Lots of space to hang out in different areas of the cabin too.  We would stay there again.  Location is excellent!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  So great to hear!  Please call us again Amber when you come back to enjoy the mountains.

By Ann, Posted: 02/05/2019

Clean modern and cozy.  Lot of space and clean.  We would definitely stay there again.


MANAGER COMMENTS:  We are so pleased that you enjoyed staying in Bear Pause with us.  Please let us know when you'll be back.

By Jim, Posted: 01/27/2019

We loved the place! We’ll be back!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Wonderful!  Do let us know when you come back to play in the mountains.

By Paul, Posted: 12/11/2018

Our families enjoyed staying here. Kids had a great time in their own bunk room and downstairs living area and adults could socialize upstairs around the fireplace. We thoroughly enjoyed and the lodging folks were very helpful and pleasant.

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Excellent!  We are so pleased to hear this.  It is a super family friendly layout.  We would love to host everyone up this way again.

By Kate, Posted: 11/30/2018

We all loved staying here for an adult get together. My single sister even loved the bunk room! Some of us were a bit jealous. Those giant bean bag chairs are DOPE/COMFY! We found our new fav spot in the mountains. AND....the store's so close. All good things. Thank you!

MANAGER COMMENTS:  Fantastic!  We are all so pleased you enjoyed staying with us at Bear Pause.  It is the cutest, coziest cabin.  Plus that location is really convenient too.  We hope you'll let us know when you come back.
