    "We just returned from our 4 day stay at Golden Bear Cottages. We had a great time. The staff is extremely accommodating and very friendly. The cabin we stayed in was the perfect size and had almost everything you could think of stocked in the kitchen....from pots, pans, spatulas, baking pans, coffee pot, flatware, dishware, I can go on and on! We would definitely stay at Golden Bear Cottages in the future. Thanks! Suzanne Cleveland San Diego, CA"

    I contacted Golden Bear Cottages in behalf of my husband and his strike team who were fighting the Butler 2 fire. His team, consisting of 22 firefighters with 5 engines was in need of a good nights sleep after sleeping in parking lots for three nights. The folks ar Golden Bear Cottages could not have been more helpful. They set aside enough cottages to meet the firefighter's needs and in addition offered them rates that were affordable. Great service! Thanks.

    Friends meet at Golden Bear Cottages every year. This year we had 11 cabins. We BBQ and party while catching up on the past year in each of our lives. This resort has the right size cabin for each size family. Every year the group grows because the members have such a good time. The cottages are always clean and the staff sees to our every need. THANKS AGAIN!!!

    My family stayed at the Golden Bear Cottages this past weekend in one of their beautiful jacuzzi cottages. We absolutely had the best time we have ever had on a weekend get-away! The entire staff was courteous and very caring. The cottage was very tastefully decorated, clean, and so very comfortable. We were so warm and cozy after our snow play on Golden Bear's property as we sat by the roaring fire. An added benefit was the fantastic 3 person jacuzzi in the cottage. What a way to relax! Each of my children got a Golden Bear souvenir in the gift shop. We have already booked for next month, hoping to get in as many times as possible during the snow season at Golden Bear.

    The most wonderful place we have ever visited! The service was superb and the cottages were absolutely perfect. Each and every cottage is a blend of comfort and mountain decor. My family and some of our friends stayed in several of the cottages, including the ultra-luxurious Golden Bear Manor and the beautiful Bearberry Manor during the Christmas holidays. We were treated like Kings and Queens by the front office staff and the very courteous maintenance and housekeeping staffs. All of our requests were taken care of promptly and with a smile. Golden Bear offers every imaginable amenity for families and groups. We are already planning a reunion for our family next summer at Golden Bear, and plan to make it a yearly event. We even booked our 2007 Christmas reservations before we left!

    Golden Bear Cottages resort is the only mountain retreat we have ever liked well enough to return to, and we do return a couple of times every year. The owners always treat us special. The grounds are always being improved, and the historic cabins are tastefully furnished. The houskeeping staff (our favorites are Lynn and Alison) is so friendly and they keep the cabins very clean and tidy. You will not be disappointed with the superb service and family atmosphere.
