Had a great time at Bear Haven!
Loved the place, location and the family had an amazing time. Already planning for the next year but this time we need a full week or even 10 days.
Kids loved the jacuzzi, (parents too), ping pong, pool table (for Dad and Father in law) and we thoroughly enjoyed Bar B Que-ing and eating on the awesome deck surrounded by all the trees....
Everyday was action packed! We all rented bikes and rode to the Ehrman Mansion. Chartered a ski boat and intructor Dan to teach the kids how to water ski.
Hired Captain Pam out of Homewood to take us fishing, and like last year caught a bunch of trout ranging from 3-5 lbs and cooked them to perfection that same evening. Multiple days were enjoyed at the great Beach Club and Pool, Bar etc.
Can't thank you enough for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home in the woods!
Best regards!

Hello Debbie
We had a great time at Bear Haven - I hosted my Australian investors as well as bankers from NYC. It was a great environment!

Debbie & Dan -
We had a great two weeks at Bear Haven. Some of our group hiked to Quail Lake and found it beautiful. Thanks for furnishing the cabin so well - we appreciated your supplying laundry and d/w detergent and the paper products as well, and the new toilet is great!
We are most appreciative of the speedy way you had it taken care of.

Just a thank you for the use of your home. We all had such a great time. The family decided to make a habit of getting together like this, so we will be in touch.
Your home was well stocked with all the bells and whistles, thank you again. The key was mailed today.

Good Morning Debbie
Just getting ready to pack it up and leave your wonderful home!! It has been a great stay here at the Bear! We had 2 feet of fresh powder to play in! Lots of snowshoeing out in back. This is a great location you've got here! We look forward to being able to come back again some time soon.
Thanks for the wonderful use of your great home Debbie.
Take care,

Good Morning Deb,
We had a great time at your cabin. It was perfectly located to Homewood. The boys skied right up to the back of the cabin at the end of the day.
If we end up skiing Homewood again we most certainly would rent your cabin again. We only saw the kids for meals because they enjoyed the large game room so much!
Thanks again,

Dear Debbie
We enjoyed your cabin so very much! It was a great size for us, and we loved all the fun things about the cabin, the beach, and especially the convenience of the shuttle! My grandchildren were particularly pleased with the game room!
It was fun eating outside on the deck, and we were visited several times by a California Golden Bear, and a very large Black Bear!
We will be in touch with you about returning to Bear Haven again next year!
Sincerely,

Dear Debbi
We are just waking on our last morning at Bear Haven and we had a wonderful time. This is the perfect size place for us and our clan and the large deck out front was perfect for the get together we hosted on Friday afternoon. My sons and grandsons had a great time with the ping-pong, pool and Nintendo. You have a wonderful home that has all of the things you need to have a perfect vacation. I was worried when we left Reno to come up here that we would not have all the things we needed, but you have stocked the cabin so well w only needed food....and we brought too much of that. Last night I was in the hot tub with my two daughters and two grandsons and when I said we should plan a week at Bear Haven every summer from now on, they all gave it a big thumbs up!
Thanks again, we had a great visit.

We just wanted to thank you for renting your lovely "Bear Haven" to us! We had a wonderful time! 3 families shared the cabin, and there was plenty of room for us all. The accommodations were perfect. The kids loved the game room! Thanks for everything!

We had a fantastic time at Bear Haven! What a great place. Thank you so much! Everyone was blown away by the cabin and especially the location. I had a great run up to Quail Lake and we saw two bears over the weekend. I hope we will be able to stay there again sometime - I've already been bragging about how cool your place is!
Hope all is well with you and thank you again.

Hi Debbie
Just a note to let you know that I am returning your key to the P.O. Box. I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Bear Haven. We have two small children and have been to Tahoe 4 of the last 5 years. Bear Haven is definitely the most kid friendly we have seen. Everything mentioned in your advertisement is absolutely true. There was so much for the kids to do after dark: Nintendo, Playstation, Pool, Ping Pong, Games, Hot Tub, Movies, not to mention the skiing, snowboarding, and sledding during the day. At the same time, with 3 floors, adults could always find a quiet spot to get away for awhile. It was great being seconds away from Homewood, and for those who wanted something a bit bigger, Alpine and Squaw were just a short drive away. We will definitely be back and we will recommend your place to friends and family.
Thanks again,

Hi Debbie,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the place. It was very comfortable, we loved sitting in the hot tub looking at the stars, and how close it was to Homewood. We set up a karaoke system in the game room...sooo nice to be able to sing loud and not worry about neighbors! All of us actually liked it so much that we're thinking of returning later this season.

Thanks for letting us enjoy your wonderful bear retreat. It can be hard to make everyone in my family happy when we all get together. Bear Haven was a unaminous hit! The kids loved the game room and the snowy woods in back. The adults loved the lower level game room for the kids and the comfy factor. There was just enough snow for fun.
Thanks again and we hope to be able to enjoy Bear Haven again soon.

Thank you Debbie!
Joe and I had a wonderful time at Bear Haven. We even had a couple of close encounters with the bears. The second time they left a calling card of muddy paw prints all over Joe's truck. Curious bears aren't they?
The most wonderful part of our trip was the fact that due to the weather, Joe and I were married right in front of the upstairs fireplace. There was nothing we could do to calm the skies, and with 20+ guests, we chose to keep them all dry. How romantic it turned out to be. So, now you've got a wedding chapel in your home. LOL.
Thank you again for allowing us to share your home. It is now a very special place to us.
Take care,

Thank you for a wonderful stay. We came uup with our friends from San Francisco and were treated to beautiful weather, thick snow one morning and great hikes in the mountains. What a beautiful place.
Unfortunately didn't see any bears but did find fresh tracks close to the house.
Thanks again!

Hi Debbie
Thanks for another wonderful time at your cabin! It is such a great place with kids. As we drove up on Friday night there was hardly any snow but that night a storm came in and there was tons of great snow all weekend with hardly anyone there. The Homewood resort was just right and they even let the 11 year olds ski free so that was very popular with all us Bay visitors. One of our gang lost his ipod on the slope and we heard two other people saying they had lost theirs as well so next summer you might look around! The igloo was very cool but we couldn't get the kids to stay overnight in it with their sleeping bags.
Thanks again

Hi Debbie
The house was awesome! We did not have any trouble finding it at night, as you suspected, and we were thrilled with the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. My daughter was the only one lucky enough to spot a bear, although she doesn't consider that lucky! She is begging for a pool table at home now, but my husband and I need to get more practice in because she's a better pool player than us already!!! Thanks again and we will have to try a winter visit next time!
Best Regards, Suzan

Hi Debbie
We had a wonderful time. Weather was perfect and Bear Haven had everything we needed.
With so short a stay, we spent a lot of our time at the beach and bike trails. Had a great pizza at Pisano's.
Hope to catch you next year.

Dear Debbie
We had a great time at Bear Haven. The ping pong and pool tables and hot tub provided many hours of enjoyment for all of us, especially the children. Our only disappointment was that we didn't get to see any live bears! But your bear decorations were a lot of fun.
If the opportunity arises, we'd love to stay at Bear Haven again. By the way, we were able to rent a ski boat in Homewood and visit the island at Emerald Bay. It was the fulfullment of a long-held dream.

Dear Debbie
We would like to thank you for the opportunity to stay at your beautiful home (Bear Haven). The hot tub proved to be very relaxing with the forest view. My mother and father as well as my sister and four-year old nephew, had the wonderful experience of an encounter with the home namesake. I'm sure that will be a story to tell for years to come. Once again, thank you, and we hope to have the pleasure of visiting Bear Haven again.

We had a great time! There certainly was PLENTY of snow to play in. The kids made an Olympic sled run out back and igloo forts.
Thank you for the cozy accomodations and plentiful supplies. The home was perfect for our family gathering. We played lots of games, pool and music.

We had a wonderful almost fall getaway. Cool nights but warm enough for a day at the beach at Meek's Bay. The beauty of this area is nothing less than a gift from God and the peaceful relaxation and serenity is magical!
The cabin is the ultimate mountain cabin feel and has amenities galore! Everything you need for a great family getaway. No bears this time, but a racoon on the steps off the front deck and lots of squirrels and chipmunks!

What a great house! My family and I were originally going to meet friends from S.F. here for some spring skiing. It has been snowing all week and we've enjoyed powder skiing Tahoe Style. Our friends couldn't make it up, but the four of us enjoyed Bear Haven's space immensely. The hot tub was great. We hope to be back in another summer or winter. M. Fiandaca

We are completing our week here in your beautiful Home. This is our second year in a row (the beginning of a wonderful tradition for our families). The children love it, so do the parents. Great meals in the kitchen, music and fun in the game room, relaxing visits in the hot tub and many wonderful times at Homewood resort. We will be back next year. Thank you, The Edneys

What a perfect home - our family enjoyed themselves more than I can express. We hit it just right. Tons of fresh snow. Oh so beautiful.
Our best memories were watching our children progress in snowboarding and their sound of laughter coming from the game room. We hope to return again - Aloha, Peace and Love The Cannon Family
