A Modern Retreat

Where great design meets the great outdoors. Originally built in 1970, this mid-century ranch-style home has been lovingly transformed into a luxurious alpine retreat. This unique 3 bedroom 2 bath home comfortably sleeps 8 and is surrounded by snow-capped pines throughout the property, offering tree views from every window. Inspired by its mountain surroundings and the biophilic design philosophy (incorporating natural elements to create a closer connection to nature, decrease stress levels and improve health), the home seeks to bring the outdoors in by incorporating a mix of wood tones, rich textures and natural elements to create unique design features that reinforce our innate connection with nature.

“This was by far the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at. Every detail was so thoughtful—from the design and decor to the little touches that made it feel like a true retreat. The guidebook was super helpful, the beds were comfy, and the hot tub under the stars was magic. We didn’t want to leave!”
— Jessica, San Francisco

Hear From Our Guests

  • "We had a great stay at the bear chalet! The place is exactly as described and Athena was an amazing host. She accommodated our requests which made our trip more memorable. I’d recommend Athena’s place!”

    Suraj N.

  • "This was an absolutely wonderful stay. Athena was very communicative from the very beginning, gave clear instructions to the house and all of its amenities. The cabin was very comfortable, we stayed with our three children and they loved the bunk beds and all of the toys that are at the house. Very good location, short drive to the lake and ski resorts."

    Chris B.

  • “Cute & lovely place, there was a lot of stuff in the kitchen which meant we could cook. Beds were extremely comfy, the location is great. Lovely spot.”

    Sofia T.

  • "This was our very first trip to the snow with our kids 2.5 and 4.5 and we had the very best time. The Bear Chalet was the perfect spot to stay. Had everything and more we needed, my boys loved the bunk beds, the hot tub and a great area in the backyard we could use as well. We were able to rent a tube from them for an extra cost $ which was perfect for them to play out back with as well. Had all the amenities we needed to cook as well!"

    Sarah D.

  • "Have stayed here twice now, and love the location, amenities, and comfort. Highly recommended!"

    Iman M.

  • "First time in South Lake with a family of 5, and it was wonderful. The place is suitable for young kids (we had 3 five and under), who loved the hot tub and the snow in winter. The bunk bed set-up makes keeping kids together simple, and there's nearby snow activities - from making snowmen in the backyard, to tubing on trails ~.5miles away, to getting to ski at Heavenly which is a quick 10 minute drive."
