Great place to get away!

Beautiful inside. Had everything I needed for a comfortable stay for my pup and I. It’s in a very nice location. Quiet, room between neighbors, and only a half hour from lake placid. Thank you again for the stay! Would definitely recommend!

Ski the Face

Stayed here with my love over Valentine’s Day while he skied the face. Had to bring our dog last minute. The host was so gracious got back to us quickly for early check-in and let us bring our pup. The home was so beautiful and had everything we could’ve needed. Absolutely would stay here again.

Hot

For some reason the upstairs was ungodly hot. You couldn’t stay in to long because there were no air conditioners and it was July! The stairs down to the bedrooms were very steep so not got any anyone with knee or back issues. That being said it was cute cozy and clean.

Great Getaway

3 Bears is very clean and in a peaceful place. I loved the layout of the upstairs - nice open concept. It was one of the best-stocked rentals I've been at with everything from kitchen items to band aides and bug spray! The only down side was the narrow, steep stairs to the down stairs bedrooms. We are in our 70's and in good shape but I can see where this could be a problem for someone who has any mobility issues. We could not get our German Shepherd to go down these stairs, but luckily there is a door leading outside for the downstairs so we could let him in that way at night to be near us. Everything else was great!

Overbearing cabin heat. Prop Mngr oblivious...not caring at all.

Nice place, however during our stay, heat indexes were 95 to 100. Inside cabin temps near 90 plus every day. We reached out the property manager for a possible portable AC unit and stated that we'd have to leave before our paid stay as unbearable. ZERO RESPONSE! Left a day early. Now four days since, no reply at all!

Great place to stay near Whiteface / Lake Placid.

This was our 3rd time staying at Three Bears and it was perfect as usual. The cabin is amazing. It’s in a great location (surrounded by woods) and only 15 minutes from Whiteface and about 30 minutes from Lake Placid. Will definitely be going back again.

Terrific cabin: clean, cozy and comfortable.

Perfect cabin for a winter stay. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Kitchen is nicely arranged and great for cooking meals and baking brownies. 15 minutes from Wilmington Dam and 25-30 minutes from Lake Placid Village. Nathan provided a daily plow to handle the three consecutive nights of snow perfectly. Our dog loved it too. Just be prepared for stairs to get to the bedrooms or walk around them through the back. Would highly recommend. Would definitely stay again

3 Bears

Nice comfortable camp and quiet area, we enjoyed our stay. Instructions for entry code didn’t match and confusing keypad on the door handle. No wood for Fire pit only 2-3 pieces of wood for wood stove. Recommend updating welcome sheet with internet codes and instructions for the multiple heating options and controls. Bedrooms in basement nice, but has a damp musty smell. musky smell.
