We had a great time staying for a week at the Chalet -- me, my husband, and daughter. A bear (black and not big, most likely a "teenager") showed up on Day one while we were eating outside by the fire-pit after we grilled steak at the outdoor charcoal grill. She was very curious and looked into the fire-pit. We walked back to the porch and watched until she started walking towards the porch. Then we went inside. She came to the porch and looked around, hopped onto the hot tub cover and looked inside at the window before she left by the side of the house. She came back the next morning just briefly in the backyard while we were having coffee inside. The third day, we saw a different bear (has brownish patches but not full grown). He visited just briefly at the fire-pit and the grill area. On Day 5, we saw a large black bear just patrolled through the yard. She did not stopped. On Day 6, the brownish bear came by again, but didn't stay too long in the yard. On Day 7, the smaller black bear from Day one came back to check out the back yard again, stopped by the grill and fire-pit. But she left soon afterwards. The last Day morning while we were packing up, the same smaller black bear came back to take a look at us from the yard briefly before she left. It was a nice goodbye. We loved every moment!!
