Canyon and Mountain Views

Casa Bear is a 4-guest apartment (690 sq ft) in southwestern style with private entrance, 8 mins from LANL.

Enjoy gorgeous canyon and mountain views, right from your private yard and from the inside of the home as well. Have your favorite drink at covered patio during adorable sunset. Entertain at private BBQ and fire pit area. Hike or bike right from home.

Home provides fully equipped kitchenette with cooktop and large dining table, two separate sleeping spaces (bedroom and living room) and office space.

Enjoy the real New Mexican atmosphere!

We live on the upper level of the property while you will have the entire lower level to yourself (690 sq ft apartment). This includes the adjacent part of the yard and covered patio with entertaining area.

You can enter the home directly from the patio via private entrance equipped with keypad door lock.

Main bedroom features rustic style queen size bed. You can enjoy mountain views right from your bed.

Office space in the bedroom provides work table with chair, charging station, table lamp, basic office supplies and... the view!

Another room is one large open space - kitchen with dining area and living room. Sofa in the living room is easily transformed into queen size bed. Mattress, pillows, comforter and extra blankets are provided in the adjacent closet. From the bed or sofa, you can watch 43" HDTV with HBO Max, Netflix, Roku etc. or admire the mountain on opposite side of the canyon.

Fully equipped kitchenette with electric cooktop allows to prepare meals. Basic spices and oil are provided. Kitchen features a fridge with freezer, microwave, toaster and coffee machine. Hot drinks are provided. Kitchen cabinets have extra space to store food if needed. Fire extinguisher is in the cabinet under the cooktop.

Large rustic dining table easily accommodates the whole family or group of friends.

Bathroom with a shower provides towels (extras are in the bath cabinet), bath essentials, first aid kit, hair dryer and cleaning products.

You will have a large part of the yard to yourself. Most of it is flat terrain - it could serve as a playground for kids or hangout space for adults. You will be amazed by the depth of the canyon below and the mountain on the opposite side. However, the yard is not fenced and younger kids should be supervised by adults. Please make sure you do not go beyond the point where the terrain suddenly changes to steep rock cliff.

Be aware that you can meet wildlife on the yard - most often you can see deer. We are in a bear country however bears are rarely seen on our property. Please do not leave any food or garbage outside - this would attract wild animals.

Our quiet cul-de-sac is also a great place where our kids ride a bike, roller skate etc. If your kids want a real playground, there are 3 (!) just 0.3 miles walking distance at Barranca Elementary school.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Santa Fe National Forest. The apartment offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Perfect Base Camp
Lovely place, exactly as it looks in the pictures. The host is easy to reach and always responded promptly. This place is the perfect location to be close to the trails of Santa Fe National Forest, you can even walk to some right from the apartment. The kitchen had everything I needed and the bed was very comfy.

Basement Apartment Hideaway
This rental is the basement of a split-level home. The owner lives on the upper level. The outward-facing side features two large windows looking out toward the fire pit and grill which sit on the edge of a small canyon. You access the apartment via a gravel walkway from a reserved parking spot adjacent to the owner’s driveway. The interior photos are accurate to the property and everything was clean and well-kept. Note that there is no oven or laundry. The neighborhood is about a ten-minute drive to the CBD (such as it is), but it is quiet and picturesque. We were in town to ski at Pajarito which was an easy twenty-minute drive. We ate at Pyramid Cafe, Ruby K’s Bagels, and Pajarito Brewpub and would highly recommend the former.

Beautiful, comfortable, well stocked-great hosts!
My husband and I were visiting our son in Los Alamos and needed a place big enough for all 3 of us- this place was perfect! The kitchen was better stocked than any of our previous VRBO stays with a variety of spices, salt pepper, cooking supplies, etc. Veronika was very thoughtful to include shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lots of towels + little extras like sunscreen, first aid kit, lip balm, makeup remover. The big screen TV was preloaded with netflix, prime, etc and we enjoyed watching movies at night. Veronika even had a homemade treat waiting for us when we arrived. Check in was easy and checking out was easier (no stripping beds, etc). Kitchen was stocked w/ Kcups and little other treats even. LOVED THIS PLACE!

Casa Bear Getaway
Casa Bear is a cute lower level apartment with a fantastic view of the canyon and mountains around Los Alamos. It is clean and well supplied. Lighting in the apartment could be improved and although the furnishings are cute, they could be more comfortable.

This bnb was excellent. I came for a wedding with my friend, and we stayed for two nights. They took the bedroom and I slept on the pullout bed in the livingroom. Both beds were very comfortable! The closet had plenty of hangers/space for our formal wear, and the bathroom was very clean and big enough for two people to get ready in. It also included toiletries and sunscreen, which was a very nice touch as I'd forgot mine. The kitchen was well stocked with all necessities for food prep and coffee/tea. Veronika was an excellent host, fast with all communication, and she welcomed us with a traditional Czech cake that was delicious. In the morning I enjoyed the coffee and cake on the patio overlooking the view, and can say 10/10 would stay here again.
