Bear House was designed with big groups and families in mind. With three bedrooms, multiple gathering spaces, a game room, a fully-equipped kitchen, and an outdoor setup that keeps everyone busy, it's the kind of place where family memories actually get made — not just documented for Instagram.
The house sleeps up to 10 guests across a king and three queen bedrooms, with Pack 'n Plays for the littlest ones. The backyard has room for the kids to run, the dog to explore, and the adults to relax around the fire pit. And on rainy days, the game room steps up.
