First of all, our host was great. She sent my girlfriend & I detailed information about our stay from the day we booked it, the day of, and throughout our entire stay. We never had an issue or needed to contact her, but she definitely made us feel 100% confident that if we ever needed her assistance she would be readily available.Second, the Bear Cave is super cozy. Exactly what you see in the pictures and even better in person. We entered the room and both said "Wow!". We were pleasantly surprised on sight and every day of our stay we looked forward to returning to the Bear Cave to rest.Third, the amenities really are great. We were provided with several towels, plates & silverware (Both washable and disposable), paper towels, etc. The Bear Cave is definitely well stocked and we never felt like we were missing anything.Fourth, the scenery and aesthetic of the grounds. On several mornings we'd slide the curtain open to the back window and it was textbook winter wonderland. The trees out back are very cute and look amazing with thick snow on their branches and a flurry around them. Even the parking garage is scenic. Park facing the mountains and it looks like a framed picture. The Bear Cave faces the parking area and that made it very convenient to unload and load our car, because we could just enter and exit through the back when bringing stuff in. Though we always locked that door and went around when leaving. Overall, this is an excellent place and 10/10 recommend.

Bear Cave Review

I highly recommend the Bear Cave - it is very cozy for 1-2 people. The kitchen is perfect for having breakfast and preparing meals if you don’t feel like going out. Short drive to Main Street of Durango and close to Silverton and Ouray and lots of outdoor activities. The community has a pool and hot tub on-site and there is a nice restaurant. Would definitely stay here again.
