The bearhouse is a jem. Super clean, tasteful, and amenities like a luxury hotel. We loved the southwest decor and Eloy was an excellent host. We had to cut our stay short, due to a family emergency back home. Eloy couldn't have been more kind or accommodating. We had a wonderful and comfortable stay.5* review.
