Avoid working with Bear Country Vacation Rentals! God forbid you or your family get sick and you…read moreneed to change your reservations. You will be told "no" and they will keep your money ... in our case $2800. Wish we had realized what we had committed to when we booked back in October for a New Year Ski Trip. They required full amount within 30-days of arrival, then the property manager was unwilling to work with us after our family came down with COVID over Christmas. VRBO and Air B&B offer larger (~1,000+ sq ft) accommodations with private hot tubs, and modernized ski-in/ski-out locations for the same price if not less which I wish we had done instead of working with Bear Country. We looked at their 10+ yr old videos online and saw just how itty bitty and out dated their accommodations were that average ~550 sq ft with a community hot tub. EW. We booked 3 days of lift tickets, ice-fishing trip, and horse drawn carriage ride and everyone except Bear Country worked with us to reschedule our reservations for the end of Jan 2023. Greed over Customer Service loses every time. We'll never work with Bear Country EVER again and we've shared this with the skiing community in the greater Seattle, BC, Colorado, Texas, California, and everything in-between both family and friends. Only book here if you're really hard up, and pray you don't have an issue showing up, as they will keep your money. AVOID!

Bear Country is a rental management company at Sun Peaks Resort with a wide variety of…read moreaccommodations at different locations. We had a party of four and stayed at Crystal Forest Condos because there was a great promo of 3-for-4-nights. The condo can sleep 8 people, but that would be wayyyy too cramped. 4 was just right. 6 would be manageable I imagine. The place itself is cozy and homely. Wood furnishings. Clean. Well-equipped. It even had a small decorated Christmas tree (how seasonal!) and a fairly large selection of movies on VHS (oh the nostalgia...). I think it's these small touches that make the vacation experience more enjoyable. The hot tub is superb. A small complaint on the bouncey mattress - but perhaps I'm just spoiled. Crystal Forest is about a 10 min. walk to the lifts - a bit far, but not too bad. Overall a great experience and I wouldn't hesitate booking with them again.

So wonderful the first time that we had to come back!! Thanks Kathy (the hostess/cook…read moreextraordinaire) with her decorative fresh fruit plates, selection of yoghurts, fresh coffee and juices, pancakes, bacon/sausage, fritatas and eggs benedicts - catering to gluten free diets as well, and Barney the host/bottle washer/wine maker who can even take you for a game of golf, and last but not least, there is of course the beloved mascot, sweet Baxter the dog! Comfortable accommodations - eye appealing and back pleasing with a balcony and patio showing off the beautiful Shushwap lake view a few hundred feet down the hill where you can find a cold beer or a meal right on the dock. Kathy and Barney are an easy-going couple with a great sense of humour and a well established, organized bed and breakfast - you won't be disappointed. We'll be back guys!! You've created your little paradise and we're grateful you don't mind sharing it! Shérri and Tom

They refused to reimburse but gave me a future stay credit. There was one year expiry embedded in the credit certificate but the body of the email mentioned nothing of the expiry. When I tried to inquire about booking( with only 2 months before expiration) they did not mention that I had 2 months left but said they would be happy to assist when I would be ready to book. Now, when I tried to book, they said the future credit had expired and I lost 900 dollars. It is quite misleading and shady. I just want people to be aware.

Kitchen has most things. No stove but they have an induction burner and a nice bbq outside so we cooked up our own meals there. They have a wood fired pizza oven at the other side of the property but that only goes on the weekends I think. They have kayaks we were able to use so it was nice paddling around the lake. We had our coffee on the private dock each morning and enjoy watching the ducks swim by. Saw a few fish jumping out there so I would suggest bringing up a fishing rod.
