About this property

Bear's Den - Mount Snow Townhome - w/ Heated Pool!

The Space
Welcome to the recently renovated rustic condo/townhouse at Mount Snow's Bear Crossing in beautiful and convenient southern VT. Enjoy 1 master bedroom (Queen), 1 bedroom with a full sized bed, a sleep loft (1 twin bed, additional twin mattress on floor & small pullout sofa) and living room with couches and a queen sized air mattress to accommodate a 7th or 8th guest. There are 2 full bathrooms on the first level and an additional half bath on the 2nd level.

The unit has a wood burning fireplace (wood delivered to your door), mud room, new appliances, a washer/dryer, copper countertops, fully equipped kitchen, small deck with gas grill, fresh linens and towels, WIFI, Roku, board games and everything you need to have a great stay on the mountain.

Bear Crossing features a ski down trail (weather permitting) maintained by Mount Snow, a club room with pool table, ping pong and fireplace and a gym with basic equipment. In the summer, there is a heated outdoor pool and Har-Tru Tennis Courts.

Guest Access

Full access to the townhouse aside from the owner's closet. Guests will be given a lockbox code that is good for the length of their stay.

I also own and have recently renovated the townhome next door, so let me know if you have a bigger group (or friends who heard about your great trip who also want to come!) and are interested in renting both side-by-side units.

Interaction with Guests

My #1 goal is to assure you have an amazing stay in Southern Vermont. I can be reached via mobile call, txt or email and time and look forward to hearing from you about any questions, concerns or recommendations you're looking for.

The Neighborhood

Skiing/Snowboarding
Mount Snow (under 1 mile), Hermitage Club (3 miles), Stratton Mountain (17 miles), Bromley Mountain (30 miles), Okemo Mountain (50 miles), Killington Mountain (70 miles)



The West Dover and Wilmington areas have lots to do beyond skiing including, snow tubing, ice skating, hiking, snow shoeing, farm tours, wine and cheese tastings, outlet shopping and fine dining. You truly will feel as though you're in the heart of VT even though you're less than an hour from the New York or Massachusetts borders. You're in an excellent location to take day trips to near by towns including Brattleboro (25 miles), Bennington (26 miles), Putney (26 miles), Manchester (34 miles) and Weston (35 miles).

Looking forward to hearing from you and assisting to plan your Green Mountain vacation!

Skiing in VT

Good access for phone and wifi. Smart TV allowed use of my YouTube account. Couldn't get regular TV stations as noted in manual, but I'm technologically challenged.Huge amount of kitchen utensils and gadgets. Particularly nice was a good burr coffee grinder. We bring our own beans and usually have to use a hand grinder we bring along.Nice place convenient to the mountains.

Long on comfort and short ride to the mountain

While one of the recliners was in need of repair the rest of the condo was fully functional and comfortable. The short ride to the Carintha lift is a big plus and a liesurely 15 min to Wilmington to procure supplies and a visit to the sports friendly Maple Leaf Tavern made this location ideal.

Clean, comfortable and warm

We had a great weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Close to the mountain for skiing. The only two things that bothered me (only slightly) was the difficulty parking because the snow hadn't been plowed back far enough and you couldn't ski right up to the condo, there was a little bit of a trek from the end of the trail. The boys enjoyed using the clubhouse. All the amenities in the condo were great.

Amenities Galore

A delightful surprise awaits summer visitors to this rental. Until Labor Day, Bear’s Den includes full access to a sparkling swimming pool- with plenty of umbrella-covered, clean tables, plus chairs, and loungers. Up the stairs from the pool is a handsome community “home” that includes a ping pong table, pool table, and exercise equipment. In winter, you’ll likely find the nice fireplace inside and fire pit outside welcome extras. On the other side of the community home is a single, perfectly kept brushed clay tennis court. We used all but the community room fireplaces and all were in perfect condition. Matt, the property host could not be more responsive. He answered our few questions immediately. After the first day we did not need to make contact— experienced zero issues. The condo unit is fine— a bit more ski lodge-type accommodations. It has a porch ready with firewood, which would be great for the ski visitors. The entry includes a small “mud room” so that tracking-in would be no problem— and that is fine in any season. Everything in the condo works. Supplies were in place.

Great response, cute unit

Matt couldn't have been more accommodating or responsive. He was super helpful with questions and we were able to get in with no issue. Having multiple coffee machines and lots of kitchen extras (syrup, S/P, dressings) sounds like a little thing but is SO HELPFUL in a rental! The only thing--ski "in" is a little complicated. Definitely do your research first as the ski "in" trail only takes you into the complex and then you need to wind your way around the roads or through people's backyards (if there's enough snow!). We risked it the first day and skied over rocks (totally our choice) and then got 18" of snow and could ski down the next day and x-country skied through people's backyards. FYI--it's hard to find on the map but you have to take the Carinthia area lift to Fool's Gold and there there's a SMALL sign on fool's gold that says "to bear crossing area"--just found it confusing to figure out from the maps.

Wonderful stay

The property was cozy but large enough for 4 adults and 3 children to live comfortably. The condo had everything that we needed to enjoy a few days in the Vermont Mountains. The location was outstanding. We were across the street from the Moover shuttle bus that got us to the slopes in 10 minutes without dealing with a parking hassle

Perfect condo for a long, winter weekend in the mountains.

This condo has a secluded, cabin in the woods feel- little stream under the deck and woodsy decor, but you're right at the base of the mountain and a few minutes drive to restaurants. We had everything we needed and more to keep 4 kids entertained so the adults could have fun, too. Hooked up tvs, movies, games, the loft set up.... Thanks again for everything, Matt! We can't wait to go back!

The house was ideal for my family of two couples and two children. It had all the facilities we needed and we found the cupboards well stocked with many essential items which helped when we first arrived. The house was nice and warm and great to return to after a hard day on the slopes.

About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
I love to travel and although I appreciate the energy and convenience of being close to a major city, I always feel at home when I'm closer to nature. I enjoy great food, wine and new experiences. When in VT, I love to snowboard, go to the lake, take day trips to new places and hike. I have completed multi-day hikes on the Appalachian Trail in 6 States. I was planning on doing all 13, but taking a break with two little kids at home who I spend most of my free time with.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in New England and have always loved VT! The Dover and Wilmington area is so charming and easy to get to from Boston and New York. As soon as I arrive at my townhome, I instantly feel relaxed, especially after throwing a couple of logs on the fire. As someone who loves to snowboard and hike, it's amazing having the ski down / hiking trail steps from the unit. The club room in the winter and pool, tennis courts and close by golfing is great for when the snow melts away.

I wish I could get up to VT more weekends than I do, however I really enjoy sharing my home with the VRBO Community when I can't make it up. I'm confident you'll have enjoy the area and experience as much as I do!

What makes this property unique

All the charm of a cabin with all the convinces and amenities of a Townhouse Complex. I love being close enough to the mountain action with the peace and tranquility of being 1 mile away from the chaos when I'm ready to unwind.
