Extraordinary Adventure Awaits You...
Great Bear Chalet is an off-grid 'green' home.
We offer two (2) private queen bedroom suites each with it's own 3 piece ensuite bath. Our maximum capacity is four (4) people. This guarantees that there is an "exclusivity" to your stay with us.
We can accommodate two separate individuals, two couples or a family of four - if kids are comfortable "bunking up" i.e. sharing a queen size bed and bath.
The Great room, dining room, and expansive deck are all open, 'living' spaces for you to also enjoy.
We limit our environmental impact in a multitude of ways: 'salvaged' yellow cedar cabinetry, gravity-fed Biosand water filtration, 'bear safe' organic garden, 'bear smart' containment of compost and garbage, a septic field that fertilizes native species, nurturing the bear meadow, while the Chalet itself was designed & built to operate on less than 7 kWh of power a day (the average North American grid home consumes 30-40 kWh).
'We Are What We Eat.'
We ensure that our creative joy & the finest foods are combined in each meal . Gourmet meals are a prepared fresh, using local ingredients in combination with organic vegetables and herbs from our 'Bear Smart' garden. The dining room table is always a lively "command central".
Menu favourites include:
Did we mention dessert?
Chalet specialties Include: Deep dish Pecan Pie, "Best-ever" Chocolate Mousse, Lemon Cheesecake w/ Blueberry Amaretto sauce, Lavender Creme Brulee to mention a few. We're all about happy endings..
