About this property
Private beach, pools/hot tub, winter sports, sleeps 20
The Chalet at Bear Lake is located on the northwest side of beautiful Bear Lake, and has amenities galore. Enjoy the gorgeous view of the sunrise over the lake from the covered deck and patio, enjoy the turquoise water during downtimes between your adventures, and watch the moon rise in the evening at our fire pit. While you are at your home away from home, take advantage of barbecuing on the deck using the gas grill, cooking in the full kitchen with key tools at your disposal (and dinnerware for up to 24 people), and relaxing while enjoying the view from the couches upstairs and downstairs, or on either the deck or patio. The kitchen also has a griddle, toaster, crock pot, Kitchen Aid, coffee maker, and pots and pans. There is also a high chair included for those traveling with sweet little ones.
Let your kids play at the kids' park within full view of the deck and patio, or let them play in the yard with one of many yard and other games provided for your convenience, including Spikeball, cornhole, giant Jenga, frisbee, card games, board games, puzzles, and dice games. Better yet, play with them--they are only young once, and you're creating memories that will last a lifetime! You can also go to the garage for an intense ping pong tournament as well!
There is a sports court within a 5 minute walk, and we provide pickle ball equipment, basketballs, and tennis rackets/balls for your pleasure. There are also 4 kayaks (2 adult, 2 child) and lots of life jackets. Bring your own infant life jacket to ensure it fits well and your baby is safe. We also have 4 adult bikes for your use. We're working on kids' bikes!
The Chalet is located in The Reserve, a private gated community that provides many free amenities including: private lake access (remember that this is a natural lake that supplies water to the surrounding communities, and water levels fluctuate depending on the time of the year and water use: it is more ideal at some levels), 2 pools, splash pad, hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, exercise room, kid’s playground, and more (these are all within walking distance). The clubhouse is also within walking distance (approximately 400 meters away), right next to the sports courts, and has many additional amenities including a foosball table, BBQ grill, kitchen, and much more.
The master bedroom on the main floor is very spacious with room for a pack and play (provided) and floor sleepers if needed (king size bed in this room). The other main level bedroom has a queen bed with a child sized bunk for little ones (bunk bed size 27" x 63"). The third bedroom has a queen bed with a twin bunk with a trundle bed. The fourth bedroom has a queen bed with a twin XL bunk. The fifth bedroom has a twin over full bunkbed and a twin bunkbed.
The living room area space is cozy, with lots of opportunity for closeness for large groups if desired! There is also great opportunity for reconnecting on the deck and patio.
Not that you will need it, but the cabin offers 2 televisions with satellite TV, a DVD player, and wireless internet as well.
We want you to have an amazing time while you are here, and if there is something that you need, please don't hesitate to call either Nate or Vonda. We want to make your stay the most positive possible.

Thank you so much, Ketan! We were happy to have you stay and we're happy you enjoyed yourselves! We would love to hear any suggestions you have for improvement, and we would love to have you back!
We stayed with a large group from adults to babies and everyone had fun. I especially appreciated the items for the babies ( like the baby gate and high chair) and the teens loved it too!
The property is beautiful and has a beautiful view of the lake , which is beautiful by itself.The hosts were accommodating and great! We had a little problem with the Wi -fi but all in all it was an enjoyable time!
We had such a great time here! The host was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions. Lots of extras, paddle boards, bikes, lawn games and even dress up costumes for the kids! The property was clean and well stocked.
We would definitely stay again. The owners were amazing! This was a wonderful home in an amazing area! We loved it!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Rebecca. We would love to have you back! As you know, this is our first year owning, and we are still figuring things out. We are adding a couple of bikes and sit on top kayaks (and life jackets, of course) for guests for next year.
Really enjoyed staying at property. The house was clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The private beach and swimming pools were great for our group. The kids loved the playground. Would definitely stay again.

Thank you, Jolisa! I'm really glad the kitchen had everything you needed! We'd love to hear if there are things we should be adding to the kitchen. We love that the playground is close also! I'm happy that the beach and pools worked well for you also! We would love to have you back!
We like jumping around when we meet up for our family reunions. We have always picked a new place to stay BUT this was our first time wanting to make this place our official meeting spot! We absolutely loved the lay out and all the space!

Thank you so much, Katie! I am thrilled to know that you enjoyed our house. We would love to have you come back again! And we would love to hear any suggestions you have for improvement!
Very nice place! Great location close to all our favorite activities. Well stocked with games and equipment for family fun. Overflow parking area worked well for staging RZRs and trailers. Private access to the beach makes it super convenient.

Thanks so much, Calvin! I'm really happy that you had a nice time with your family and that you enjoyed the games! I agree that the overflow parking is very convenient--we are lucky that it is located so close to our home. We are happy that you stayed and that you enjoyed your time! Please let us know if there is anything that could make your stay better.
What a fun place to stay. Many things to do for all ages and room for everyone. My kids want us to stay here again. This was our second time staying at this house. While we were packing up my kids and grandkids were asking if we could stay here again. Loved it!!

This home was a wonderful, clean, and large home to stay at for our Family Reunion. The host provided all the necessities for our vacation stay. She was available to communicate before and after our stay. There were so many extras provided by the host to help our family feel comfortable and relaxed while we stayed at this home. If I'm ever needing a place to stay at in Bear Lake I will check the availability here first before booking at any other place or location.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The property was very clean with a lot of extra games and equipment and things to do. We particularly enjoyed the private beach. Two of the bathrooms were extremely small, But other than that it was a very enjoyable property! We had good communication with the property owners whenever we had a question.
..We had the most wonderful time... The kitchen was extremely well supplied and easy to cook The beds were exceptional and one person said it was the best night sleep they had ever had and everyone commented on them. We ;picnic, boated, water surfed, swam, played video games, pickleball, grilled, and sat on the deck and just looked at the mountains and lake. FANTASTIC

You are so very kind, Jan. I'm thrilled that you and your family had a nice time! I wonder if sleeping so well had a lot to do with everything that you did all day long? It sounds like you had a lot of fun adventures--I want to go with you on your next vacation! Thanks so much for your kind words!

The property at the Reserve was a complete success for our family get away. The beach access and club house facilities were terrific and very convenient to access. The house was accurately advertised with all the amenities that made our stay so enjoyable and with all the room that is available it made our family stay very comfortable. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the home in such a beautiful setting to over look the lake and to view the mountain side. We have made a plan to return again next summer. Thanks for letting us enjoy your home!

What a find! Our family is eager to book again for next year. Everything is as advertised — clean, spacious, with everything you need. The best part for us was easily the access to the private beach. When you have younger kids, all day on the boat can be really taxing. This allowed us to separate the time for beach play, boating fun, and even heading back to the VRBO if the babies needed a break. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Jen! I wish I could take credit for the clean house, but we have an amazing woman who has agreed to help us and made us look good last year and this year. I don't know what we would do without her. I'm so glad that you were able to meet the needs of your young kids--that is not always easy to do! We will look forward to having you back next year!
House made for an enjoyable relaxing weekend.
Few things....dish satellite does not work on either tv, don't know if it's the remotes or what but no one could figure it out....and bring mosquito repellant for the evenings lol....they were vicious.
We had a great time! Lots of games stocked in this house.
The clubhouse is nice as well.

Kent, we will make sure that we get the instructions for Dish TV for future guests. We did find the upstairs remote downstairs, and when we brought it up, it worked! I'm sorry that the mosquitos took a liking to you. They can definitely be vicious at times when there is not a breeze. I'm so glad you had a nice time!

My children, grandchildren, and I totally enjoyed our time at this house. The kitchen was large and well-stocked. The extra fridge in the garage was a big help. We enjoyed having the two decks and the two living areas where family members could hang out. My children and grandchildren loved the two pools and the hot tub. It was great to have access to the pickle ball courts and the exercise room too. The kids loved playing ping pong in the garage. Having access to a private beach that was so close was a big hit with everyone! We spent quite a bit of time out there. This would definitely be a house we'd stay in again.

Thank you, Karen! I'm so glad you had a nice time! I am really happy we could share in helping your time with your precious children and grandchildren be great! We hope to have you back! I'd love to hear how to make the house better since this is our first year hosting!
We had 10 adults and 5 kiddos staying at this beautiful property for four nights!! We had a wonderful time. Check-in to Check-out was super easy with excellent communication with the host!! The living space upstairs was tight but we had plenty of table/counter space and chairs for eating our meals. The kitchen was stocked above and beyond with EVERYTHING we needed. Plenty of pantry storage space. The fridge is large and accommodated all our food for all the days. There was a second fridge in the garage for those items we didn’t need until our final day. The fire pit was so fun. The playground was close and the kids loved it. There were kayaks and a paddle board and bikes. Seriously such a fun place. The private beach was amazing. Close enough to quickly drive back to the house for anything we needed. Plenty of parking for our four vehicles plus our utility trailer. I’m just sad the price has increased considerably for next year.
We had a family reunion over the weekend. This house was perfect. Great location, access to private beach and the club house. Many great amenities! Owner was great about getting back to me quickly with any questions I had. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Vonda went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. The house is as described, the location can’t be beat. We have a reunion every summer, this is by far the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Communication with Vonda was wonderful, she is a fantastic host! Thank you for sharing your property with us.

I'm so glad to hear that you found our home to be well-stocked, Alyssa! If you have suggestions for what still needs to be there, we want to hear it! We are working hard to make sure that each person's vacation goes really well, so we are open to suggestions. Thank you for staying, and I'm so glad you got to come in a tiny bit early. I wish we could have changed the wildfire smoke from being there, as the view is typically even nicer, with Bear Lake's stunning blue color. We hope to see you again!
