Most of the time when you compare what the house is to the listing you're disappointed with reality. This time we were so pleased that the listing lived up to expectations. We loved our stay here and will be happy to come back in the future.

Darling cozy cottage! The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful. They truly thought of everything! From homemade cookies upon arrival; to kids books to help bedtime go smoothly to a cupboard full of fun family games to play. We loved the ginormous bathtub in the master bedroom. The kids enjoyed the playground and playhouse. Gorgeous views and beautiful flowers in bloom surrounded the property added a delightful touch. We can’t wait to stay here again!

Great family retreat

We enjoyed our stay at Cambria's Cottage. It was close to some fun things to do, which we took advantage of, but we mostly stayed nearby and enjoyed being together. The tub is amazing, and we enjoyed roasting s'mores over the fire. The owners are great and responded to any questions we had. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent Stay!!!

We loved our stay in beautiful Bern! The mountain views are breath taking! Blake and Janna are so friendly and easy to communicate with! Their home is beautiful, roomy, and adequate in all areas. The kids loved the swing set. This is our 2nd time at their home, and we really enjoyed it just as much as the 1st time. Thank you for the lovely stay!

Very clean, comfortable stay

This is our second time staying here. The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked. The upstairs loft bedroom is perfect for a group of kids. We love this place because it's conveniently located near Bear Lake, Montpelier Reservoir, and other fishing spots. The hosts are very nice, and the property is very well kept. We will be back next summer!

Great stay near Bear Lake

The house was very clean and comfortable. It has a nice yard with horseshoes, cornhole, and a fire pit. The decor in the home is very nice and the kitchen is well stocked. Community with hosts was great! The best thing about the home is it's close to the North Shore of Bear Lake, Montpelier Reservoir, and other fun spots.

Comfy, adorable cottage with great outdoor space!

Our family returned to the Bear Lake area to share our ancestral history (N-1 Ranch) with our daughters, sons-in-law(s) and 4 grandsons, aged 6,4,3,1 1/2. We loved this home & the hosts were extremely welcoming (and patient), since out little guys were quite rambunctious after 3+ hoursin our caravan! We were able to grill out 1 night while the kids were on the playset. We had a great day at Bear Lake, toured the Butch Cassidy Museum, and visited Montpelier before heading up to Jackson, Grand Teton and Yellowstone! We highly recommend!

Peaceful retreat

This was our third stay at Cambria's Cottage. The owners are close by and so welcoming. It's clean, charming, and very comfortable. All the amenities we needed, plus. The outdoor area is well maintained and fun to hang out in. Games and activities for adults and children are provided. Bern is a quiet, clean farming community where you can relax and see the stars and get away from the the big city. It's also close to Bear Lake's north shore swimming and boating facilities. We highly recommend starting there.

Great little Cottage

We loved this property, omg it was so quiet and peaceful. The weather cooperated with us so the stats were out in full force. Sitting by the fire looking at the stars was awesome. The only I wouldn’t say down side but the cottage needs more pots for cooking. Or maybe I just didn’t find them. I would highly suggest staying at this property. I know we will next year for the annual get together in Montpelier.Thank you for bringing over the fire wood. Sitting by the fire was the best.

Family Deer Hunt 2022

We go hunting as a family every year near the cottage. This property worked out great! The kids had a great time catching grass hoppers across the street with Blake, the home was set up great for two full families with using the upstairs portion for all of the kids sleeping. We only had our family of 4 but didnt use full rooms of the house during our stay. Thank you again to the owners and we look forward to staying with you again in the future. - The Benner Family

Great House

This property was great. We were in the area for a wedding, so we didn't have a lot of time to explore the area, but everything about the property worked out great. There are plenty of beds, very clean, with a large kitchen and lots of room to lounge. The owners were quick to respond with any issues. Would stay here again if ever in the area.

We stayed in this cute cottage for 4 days. We loved the old with the new. There is also so much room for sleeping many people between the upstairs and the downstairs. The master bedroom was amazing! There was even fresh baked cookies waiting for us when we arrived. Would definitely stay here again.
