Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about the house, booking, and the stay. We do not invent policies here — if a detail still needs confirming for your dates, we say so.
Where is The Bear’s Den?
Downtown Ludlow, Vermont, near Okemo Mountain Resort — a village Main Street location, not a slope-side condo. The house is at 56 Main Street (Ludlow 05149). Check-in instructions and access details are sent after your stay is confirmed.
How many guests, bedrooms, beds, and baths?
The entire home sleeps up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 7 beds: 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, and 4 twin beds arranged as 2 bunk beds. The home has 2.5 bathrooms. Eight is the maximum occupancy; we do not add extra mattresses beyond the listed beds.
What is the minimum stay?
Two nights. Some holiday or peak weekends may require a longer stay once a live quote is issued; the site minimum is 2 nights.
Are pets allowed?
Yes — pets are allowed with advance approval. Fees, number of animals, and any house limits are confirmed on request (include pet details on the request form). Do not assume an unlisted animal is approved until you hear back.
Is there parking?
Parking for 4+ cars is available in the driveway, and an EV charger is on site. The garage is not available for parking. In winter, the team plows and maintains safe access weather permitting; backing into the driveway is helpful on busy weekends.
What are check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is after 4:00 pm. Check-out is before 11:00 am. Early check-in or late check-out is not promised; ask when you request dates if you need a window change.
What is the cancellation policy?
The cancellation terms are shared with your quote and hold. This website uses a request-to-book flow: you are not charged on this page. Do not treat a date request as a paid reservation until we confirm in writing.
How do I book?
Use Check dates on the home page to pick dates and guest count, then complete the request on Request dates. You will not be charged yet. We confirm availability and next steps by email.
Is there EV charging?
An EV charger is available at the property. Connector type, access, and any usage notes are confirmed on request so you can plan the drive.
What’s nearby?
Okemo Mountain Resort is a short drive; downtown Ludlow is outside the door — shops, bakeries, and kitchens along Main Street. Year-round: skiing and riding in winter; Adventure Zone, hiking, golf at Fox Run, and the Black River in warmer months; foliage drives in fall. See the About Ludlow guide for activities, restaurants, and events.
Are parties allowed?
No. Parties, events, and unregistered guests are not permitted. Quiet hours are 10:00 pm to 6:00 am for downtown neighbors. Maximum occupancy remains 8 guests.
What does a typical stay include?
Entire home with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, wood stove, game room, group gathering spaces, free WiFi, and year-round access. Availability and the final quote are confirmed after you request dates.
