Bear Haven

We stayed at Bill and Kathy's little slice of heaven for the week of July 4th and had a fabulous time! The house is very nice and the street worked great for our boys to bike up and down. We took a couple of different hikes on the mountain from the end of the street and the location is convenient to downtown. We've visited Breckenridge in the Summer and Winter before and this was the best home we've stayed in. We look forward to coming back!

We just returned from a wonderful stay at Bill and Kathy's home. We have rented many vacation homes over the years and this one was one of the best. In addition to its convenient location, the home is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a full kitchen, plenty of linens, and a place to toss your snowy boots! We had a great time and look forward to returning again.

We had a wonderful stay at this delightful property during our recent Spring Break trip to Breckenridge. The house met all of our expectations and more. We will definitely return! Thanks for the great hospitality and helpful tips Bill. We couldn't have asked for more.

We had a great vacation and this house was a big part of it. It was well equipped, very clean (very important to my wife), roomy, and convenient. It felt like we were staying at our own home. Skiing out was easy for everyone in the party but skiing back to the house was challenging for the weaker skiers in the party. But, we drove the Gondola one day and parked there and that was very easy.

Thank you for an outstanding vacation. The pictures do not do this home justice. As soon as we walked in the door we felt like we had come home. Kitchen was outstanding and had everything we needed plus some. The beds were very comfortable and you could feel how much thought and feeling had been put into bear haven. The hot tub was off the hook...the perfect end to a day out in the snow. Will absolutely stay in this home again and highly recommend it. Thanks again Bill and Kathy

Bill and Kathy's home in Breckenridge is really nice. My wife and her family (6 adults total) had a wonderful ski vacation in Breckenridge and found the home to be very accommodating. Here are a couple of high points to the place.
1. The garage can handle a full size suburban
2. The kitchen is newly remodeled and has all the gadgets one needs
3. The family room is really nice. It is big enough to have 8 people sit around and watch a movie or chat around the gas fireplace.
4. There is a large table that sits everyone for nice dinners - and also works well for card games!
5. The ski in ski out is really easy... Just stay high and to the right when you come in off the trail!
Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions. Lastly, Bill is really easy to work with and he readily returns emails if you have questions!

Wow!! What a great home, felt so at home there, comfortable, spacious, relaxed, felt ya’ll’s personality in every nook and cranny. Beds were excellent. Enclosed hot tub was perfect to relax in. Looked forward everyday to getting back and enjoying your home. Can't wait till next year to book Bear Heaven. Thanks again.

This home was absolutely wonderful. We really enjoyed the large and updated kitchen and all of the new appliances. The house was conveniently located close to the slopes and downtown. Everyone in the house also enjoyed the enclosed hot tub. We would definitely come back given the opportunity.

This was a beautifully decorated, upscale, modern home. The spacious home was perfect for our large family. We really enjoyed the Jacuzzi after our days of hiking, biking, and rafting in the area. The kitchen was well equipped to prepare all of our meals. In the evening, we loved to just sit by the fire place and play games, watch TV, and use the wireless internet. We can’t wait to come back next year.

This place is heaven! We were very impressed with the beautiful furnishings/decorations and the roomy interior. Even with several of us visiting, it never felt crowded! We were so amazed to see a hummingbird right outside the window! It was very relaxing to be able to enjoy the Jacuzzi tub too. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks for the incredible hospitality!

Very nice upscale home. Liked the private hot tub. The owner has put many finishing touches that make it a joy to just sit and have a glass of wine. Skiing home through the well spaced woods was a blast. Hope to come back in the summer.

Thank you to the Handleys for helping arrange our last-minute New Year's Eve arrival. Bill's helpful suggestions and detailed instructions led to an enjoyable stay at their comfortable and convenient condo. We enjoyed skiing/boarding at both Breckenridge and Vail, with its variety of conditions; sunny, snowy, warm, cold! Perfect Mountain, Perfect Town!

What a wonderful “home away from home.” You've thought of everything anyone could possibly need to make your condo warm, inviting and perfect. From our first day there to our last day, we were amazed at the wonderfully decorated home you allowed us to rent from you. We could not have asked for a better place to spend our wonderful Colorado vacation. Thank you so much for a beautiful and restful time in the mountains of Breckenridge!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The unit is very nicely decorated and sparkling clean. All appliances worked and the televisions had excellent reception. The location is perfect. There are many restaurants within walking distance. I really enjoyed the BBQ unit on the very large deck. The underground parking was extremely convenient. We will return!! We will definitely be returning.

Location, location, location! This was absolutely perfect. We stayed at the Handley’s beautiful Mountainwood condo during our ski vacation. We could not have found a better place. It had all the amenities of home. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the lift and then ski in and out for lunch. In the evening, we were only minutes away from the excitement of town. We can’t wait to come again.

What an incredible place to stay! The condo was very warm/inviting and had so many of the conveniences of home. And, the location was amazing. We could walk to anywhere in town and the slopes within minutes. Thank you for such a lovely time. We'll definitely be back!

Bill and Kathy, we had a wonderful time at your place. My wife especially enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. Furnishings were well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The location was excellent. My granddaughter very much enjoyed the very large patio.

What a wonderful place to get stranded after a post-Christmas blizzard! We especially enjoyed the large, king-sized beds, multiple storage spaces, and the most extensively equipped kitchen in any vacation/rental property we've encountered. The combination indoor/outdoor hot tubs nearby were also a big hit. We would most definitely stay at your place again.

Bill and Kathy,
Thanks so much for sharing your home with us. It was inviting, comfortable, and convenient. Even our nine year old son had no problem walking between your place and the lift with his skis. We had an absolutely wonderful time, and staying at your home certainly added to our fun.

My wife said it was the best X-mas she has had! And the kids and I agree. The condo was perfect. So convenient to the ski lift and downtown. Thanks so much for helping us enjoy our holiday in Breckenridge. We plan to return soon.

One of the nicest and best furnished units we have stayed at. Like staying at someone's home. Very plush bedding and close to the slopes and town. Thanks to the Handley's. We want to come back.
