They were not prepared by the time we checked in which was 4pm. The room was dirty, there was a leak which has caused black mold to grow. Looks like its been there a while. We mentioned it to the owner and he pretended he didnt know the leak and the mold were there. Mind you he had alrwady told us there was a leak since he had to go back in our room to turn the water on. Because they turn it off "so it wont leak".

2/10 Poor

This property is in a great location. However, the check-in process was horrible. We were questioned by other guest and the host. Finally at 10:30pm the host arrived and asked about our reservation. I advised i booked a king with balcony and the free breakfast and the welcom basket as advertised. No breakfast and no welcome basket was provided. Also, the priperty had no water due to a neighbor dispute in which the neighbor shut the water off to the property. The host brought us approx 3 gallons of water to flush the toilet and brush our teeth. The kitchen was dirty with stacked up dishes with food on them and the only trash can was overflowing. The host did iffer us a free future night stay, he said he would leave us a hand written note for the free stay but we never rcvd that note. Could not locate the host upon check-out and no one would answer the phone. I could go on and on but i dont have the energy.

The best place to stay!
We had such a wonderful time staying at the Lazy bear lodge. We rented the jacuzzi suite and it did not disappoint. The room had everything we needed and the jacuzzi was perfect, especially after a day on the mountain. The pictures kind of make the room look small but it is really a decent sized room! The owner was such an amazing person. He even got up early to make breakfast for me and my son before we had to leave for ski apache and the breakfast was delicious. He is a very kind man who also supports the local community as well as the adaptive ski program that my son was in at ski apache. We will always stay here everytime we come out to ski apache.

I have stayed in several hotels/motels with my work and this was the absolute worst place I have ever stayed. Below are a list of pros and cons to this sham of a lodge. Unfortunately the cons are all things that are advertised and this location failed at OR has advertised and never actually offered. These people seem very nice but will try smooth talk you while stabbing you in the back. Some of the most two-faced property owners I have ever met. Con- 1. Wifi did not work at all (very important to have when you are somewhere new, in the mountains, and can't figure how to get anywhere) 2. There was no TV in the room and when they brought one up, they expected my wife and I to set it up to their network and update it. 3. The Hottub, in out bathroom, did not work and had not been properly chem serviced or had its filter replaced, in quite some time. It was absolute chaos for the maintenance man that didn't know what he was doing to begin with. 4. We were there for a 1 night stay and maintenance was in our room for 4 hours trying to fix that damn hottub. 5. The room temp was in the 90's throughout the night and there was no temp control at all. Even with the windows open... IN DECEMBER... wasn't enough to bring the temp down. Despite the room being so hot, the bathroom stayed in the 50's throughout the night due to the hottub chilling the surrounding air. 6. Our room was connected to the main section of the house so you can hear everything that goes on in the building

Comfy and clean
We showed up and our room was double booked but the owner was Able to accommodate us. It’s a small drive to downtown but it’s a great location for skiers. We had to leave early the next morning and missed the delicious looking breakfast at owner was preparing.
