We used the snow tubing hill only. I was initially turned off due to when calling to inquire about a certain time frame that specified to call if you wanted, I was told in a not so friendly way that I could only reserve that timeframe if I rented the whole hill for $490. Would have been more helpful to list that on the website rather than to feel like a bother when I called to inquire as instructed on the site. 
When we arrived I wasn’t 100% sure where to go to check in, but we found it. Everyone in the party must go in to checkin but once we were checked in and headed to the sled hill, we had a blast. 
I do see comments/reviews complaining about the boys/ workers on the hill. To me, they made the experience even more fun. They were personable, we’re doing a little trivia (who sings this song?) and asking questions about where we were from etc. I liked them and the music was noticeable but I enjoyed that as well. I think without it it could have been a little boring/awkward. We had a great time on the slope however I do wish they had at least 1 more attendant to man the hill as there was a group of young girls who would wait for people to clear the bottom before heading down and not only did they hit and hurt others, they were getting hurt themselves. I made sure not to go down just before them, but someone noticing that and having them pause just a little longer would have been cool. 

Great time with a few oddities

DO NOT RECOMMEND for a number of reasons. 
1) terrible customer service. I could list many complaints about how my family was treated during our couple of hours there but the biggest was that there were 3 young men running the actual sled hill and their behavior was appalling. One of the young men was blasting music on his iPhone so loud we would hardly hear each other speaking as we were waiting in line for tube runs. The music was rap/metal that was full of terrible language.....many F words! With kids everywhere!!!!! It was so inappropriate and really took away from the fun of a winter outing! The men were also having snow ball fights with each other over top of the heads of paying customers. It was very inappropriate and annoying. 
2) not great tubes: turns out there are two kinds of tubes-ones with hard bottoms that are considered "fast" and one with soft bottoms. There are about 5 good tubes and the rest are slow. So slow they don't even make it 3/4 of the way down the hill. The hill could have been so much more fun if all the tubes would have made it the entire way down. They don't rotate tubes so get there very early in your time slot to get a good one. Do I think you should have to get there early to get a decent tube...no, but that's the situation. 
3) the owner is very rude and unhelpful. The "lodge" is gross and does not seem to be upkept. 
Please don't waste your money here. 

DO NOT RECOMMEND

We went tubing with a group of people January 15, 2023. We were all on the same waiver. Each time we gave a name to be marked off, the man helping us told us "now just wait a minute." He kept saying that over and over, even though we were only giving him one name at at time. He was extremely rude and unprofessional. They overbooked the day as well so they ran out of tubes and our children who were too big for the small tubes were asked to trade them out so that the adults waiting could have the bigger tubes. The tube hook up area is bumpy and the cord that drags you up there isn't tight enough so it drags against you and leaves black marks all over your coat. The boys up there on the hill are rude, play inappropriate music and swear while working. We will not be returning to tube here.

Poor Customer Service

We went with a group of kids and adults snow tubing! It was so much fun! I loved that they had big tubes/small tubes, and fast/slower ones! Unique fun experience, we will definitely be back!!! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get checked in ready before your tubing time begins!

Crazy fun time!

It was fun. But you spend more time waiting in line to tube then you actually are tubing. I did the 2 hr reservation and only got to go down like 9 times. And the cook shows up when the want so bring your own food. 

Fun but not worth it.

The path that you walk up after each ride was very icy and my wife quit after one ride because she felt unsafe. They also had large washboard bumps on the tube run, and my tube landed so hard I bruised my tailbone, still sore days later.

Bad Tubing Experience

The manager was super rude in handling our situation.
No hospitality whatsoever from the manager and lied about the phone always work. we called to manage our reservation but if we call, always go straight to a full voice mail.

Need to learn some hospitality in this kind of business!

Just an overnight stay but a very pleasant getaway. Room was super clean. Quiet, peaceful location, but then it was summer - owner tells us that it gets much busier in the winter. Owner very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

Clean and Peaceful

We had a lovely stay at the Bear Creek Lodge while visiting family and friends in the area. The enjoyable host/owner upgraded our room for no charge, as we were only 1 of 2 families staying there that weekend! Choosing to stay out of town was well worth the drive and time! It was a very peaceful and relaxing way to end and start each day of our trip.
We paid the same as we would have paid for a low rated, stinky, noisy area motel! The rooms were clean, and comfortable. The whole cabin is very down-to-earth real. NOT some fancy fake log cabin where the owners spend your hard earned money for foolish decor and landscaping. This cabin has seen many years of hard Winters on the mountain and is still beautiful. :)
It was a stay I will remember in my old age!

Worth every penny!!

My Family recently came for a 2 night stay to get some clean fresh air. The staff was there to help out however and whenever it was needed. Lots of activities on site. We Will definitely come back soon! Thanks again Sam!
