“We loved our stay at Bears Den. Not only was the chalet perfect, Lesley, the host, was warm, friendly, helpful and accom”

The chalet was spacious, well appointed and well located.

Bears Den was the perfect accomodation for our ski trip in Hakuba valley. The ski lodge is cosy and has all the necessary amenities, for example, a drying room and laundry room. The room is very spacious and the bed is large and comfortable. The best part of the lodge, is of course the host, Lesley. She is extremely sweet and accomodating, she will pick you up from the bus stop and drop you off at the ski resort in the morning. She also makes an amazing breakfast, which fuels you up so you are ready for the slopes right away. I would highly recommend Bears Den to anyone.

“The most perfect stay”

Lesley was amazing!!! Everything was absolutely perfect during our stay and we will definitely be back

“It was just amazing.”

Leslie is an amazing host, who looks after her guests. Every day it was fresh breakfast cooked for everyone. She also helped us by giving us a lift to the snow resort for the first time and she drove us to the train station on our last day, which was so kind. The accommodation feels like a cozy home. The location is just 10 minutes walk to the snow resort very accessible

“Hakuba Bears Den - Subarashi!”

What a memorable trip, only enhanced by the generous services provided by the owner “Lesley”. Plenty of advice provided to get to the best spots for skiing and dinner. Perfectly located if you want to be a short drive out of the main Hakuba area!

“Amazing”

Very lovely property and spacious rooms with everything required for a 6night trip. Walkable distance to Goryu ski resort and Lesley was an amazing host.

“Wonderful Stay”

Very comfortable, modern and well equipped. Lesley was a fantastic host, and made our trip amazing! Highly recommend to anyone, especially couples.

“Perfect place to spend our honeymoon enjoying the wonders of Hakuba in the snow.”

Value for money, great location near to Hakuba 47. Owner, Lesley extremely helpful with tips, hints and recommendations. Wouldn’t think twice to stay here again.

“Lesley is an exceptional host, always extremely helpful. The bed is comfortable, the room is cozy, and the breakfast is”

“Great spot to stay in Hakuba and Lesley is a wonderful host!”

Property was clean, comfortable and inviting as well as friendly host.

“Very comfortable with a family vibe as we could enjoy happy hour upstairs discussing our day in snow”

Leslie was the perfect host who made our holiday so wonderful. We cannot thank her enough!

“Perfect Home away from home.”

A wonderful cozy lodge located in a very peaceful forest that is just 10 minutes walk to Toomi Gondola Station next to Escal Plaza. Hakuba Train Station is just 10 minutes drive from the lodge and Leslie, a very hospitable and kind host picked me up from Hakuba station. The room is very clean and provided amenities that I needed. Nice TV room with collection of books & games. Bed is very comfortable. Shower is great. Breakfast is excellent (locally sourced eggs are very yummy). I am definitely coming back !

“Warm, cosy, comfortable, friendly and must stay for anyone in Goryu”

Bears Den was such a great lodge to stay. It was Ski in and only a short walk up to the lifts. Usually Lesley would offer to drive us up each morning anyway. Having a beautiful cooked breakfast was the best way to start a full day on the mountain. Lesley was so welcoming and helpful. On the day we arrived she took us to a ski hire shop and picked up our gear for us when we were done. She also had an endless recommendation of local restaurants and places to visit. She made us reservations and then drop us to them. Our stay couldn’t of been better and we can’t thank Lesley enough for welcoming us into her comfortable lodge and listening to us talk afternoon while kindly serving us beers from her bar upstairs. The rooms were perfect, just what you need after a big day riding. Nice comfortable beds and perfectly clean bathrooms with fresh towels. I will be recommending Bears Den to everyone who is travelling to Goryu and I can’t wait to stay again.

“fantastic stay !!”

very comfy rooms and beds, under floor heating is toasty , lounge with fireplace is great, host is amazing , felt like part of the family straight away !

“Shhh - my secret place.”

This is more than just accommodation - it is more like going to stay with a friend who has a ski lodge (a very well appointed, designed and built ski lodge) - who wouldn't want a friend like this. Lesley and Grace are incredibly generous hosts and most of the guests are return guests so it is a friendly and warm atmosphere in the upstairs social areas and yet if you need time out, the bedrooms are comfortable and quiet. It is also a relatively small lodge so it feels special to be a guest there. N.O. may be my favourite skiing but I will always make time for Hakuba and my favourite place to stay. PS - a lovely community onsen is a 10 minute walk through the trees and past a beautiful shrine, a great way to end a ski day.

“A hospitality masterclass”

The entire experience at Bears Den was perfect from start to finish. I can’t recommend staying here enough! Perfection.

“Very good common area with a cozy fireplace. Even better if there is onsen available.”

Lesley is very friendly and helpful. Enjoy the stay a lot.
