The property was amazing. Beautiful home and spacious for our family of 14. The house is on the lake and not too far from the Lake Club. The house had fishing rods, paddle boards, kayaks,and life jackets. We had teenage boys and adults that enjoyed all those. Wonderful wrap around deck with furniture and games (foosball, etc). The guys loved playing golf one day. Owner was very responsive if we had a question. Would absolutely rent this same house again if/when planning another trip to Bear Lake.

I booked this house for my son's wedding. I stayed with extended family members. It was large enough for all of us to have our own spaces. The house was gorgeous and very clean! My 90-year-old mom had no issues on the main floor as everything was ADA-compliant. I will definitely be booking this house again. Hopefully, the next time, I will not have a wedding event and will be able to enjoy the lake and trails a bit more.

Bear Lake

House was great for our family and kids of all ages. Plenty of room. The deck overlooking the lake is a great spot. We enjoyed the golf and pickleball. The pool club has a good bit of deferred maintenance.

Fantastic house perfect for our group of 6 adults, including 2 grandparents, and 2 teenagers. We loved all the fun games on the porch. We played darts, fuseball and shuffleboard every night. The kitchen was the best stocked of any house I’ve stayed in. The beds were comfortable. And we loved having the kayaks to explore the lake and head down to the lake club. We enjoyed golf one day, rented a boat the next, and we played pickleball a few of the nights. And we loved having the fire pit to make smores.

What a Find!

This house on the lake and the surrounding area has everything you could ask for in a family mountain get away. For our family of 16, including 10 adults, we found the house to have plenty of room to spread out, or gather for group activities. The kitchen was spacious, well stocked, and had plenty of storage area. We especially enjoyed the outdoors, the decks and fire pit areas for lounging and taking in the views, and the dock for every type of lake activity. The host was extremely responsive and provided a nice list of recommended activities of which we took full advantage. I would highly recommend this home to any group looking for a mountain vacation.

Unbelievable!!!

My family and some family friends had the best time here. We were so impressed by the detail and thought put into this house. Steps away from the lake, we enjoyed kayaking to the falls and then bonfires watching the sunset. The rooms were perfect as well! It felt like every room had its own en suite bathroom. At night there was plenty to entertain us, darts, cornhole on the deck and a gorgeous sunset over the lake. I highly recommended this getaway and will be back!

Gorgeous retreat.

Beautiful views, full of activities, and luxurious accommodations. This place had it all. After a day on the lake or shopping in nearby Cashiers/Highlands we could wind down with a dinner at the club and gather by the fire pit. Plenty of games to keep the kids occupied. The property was beautifully furnished with with modern decor. The kitchen had anything you could possibly need. I can't recommend this property enough. If youre looking for the best place to stay for a mountain vacation, this is the spot.

Peaceful Serenity

The best getaway from the busy life we have had in a while. Spacious accommodations for sure, but the common areas truly shine here. The porch was our favorite place to sit and relax. Overlooking the lake, watching the sun rise and set was pure comforting peaceful bliss. We made great use of the grills/griddles. At night we would light the firepit and roast marshmallows with the kids. The country club, golf course, swimming pool, all which were 5 star and welcoming, were just amazing! If you are in need of an escape, this is the place for you. We will be planning on returning to this spot year after year.

Gorgeous home with beautiful views

We had an incredible time at this property. We came over hoping for a quiet getaway and the place did not disappoint. Waking up to those Bear Lake views was perfection. The home is beautiful and gigantic; it’s set up for a group and is considerately stocked with literally anything you may need. The kitchen is amazing, and all the furnishings are first class. John was an amazing host and has thought of everything for you. Great communication and went above and beyond. He gave us great suggestions for activities too. We really enjoyed kayaking and using the fire pit down by the lake. Thank you for a special trip!

Perfect secluded lakefront property!

There were 11 of us total, 5 adults, 6 kids ages 7-17. There was something for everyone, and everything got utilized. The home had kayaks, cornhole boards, shuffle board, foosball and an arcade machine downstairs. At any given time you could walk by and might see the wives reading on the deck in one of the many seating areas or the kids playing one of the games. The kitchen had everything a cook would require. Laundry centers on main and basement levels made life easier as well. Would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful relaxing stay at Bear Lake

I messaged the host after we left regarding our stay and he has not responded, below is what we experienced-First of all the house and location are super nice and being on the lake was awesome. That being said we did have a few issues we wanted to address-1. 30.00 fee per night imposed by guard shack. We asked them about it and they said that all owners are aware of the fee charged and choose not to mention it to their guests.2. Kitchen faucet was extremely loose to the point we were afraid it was going come off3. Main patio door doesn’t (which you told me about)4. Bedroom door handle falls off & master doorknob fell off5. AC will not change temp or turn off- downstairs was freezing6. Bathroom door doesn’t latch m, mb door doesn' latch.7. Handles on garage door fridge broken8. ZERO windows treatments on bedroom doors!!!! This was huge! House is for multiple people so no one wants people looking in your bedroom! Plus 1 bedroom had no door to shower so people on deck would be looking directly at someone getting in or out of shower. Also When on vacation you don’t want to be woken by the sun!9. No paper products. 1 bathroom had a half a roll of toilet paper. We had to have our relatives on the other side of the lake bring us some10. 0 extra blankets11. 0 extra towels!12. 0 beach towels13. Balcony slider bedroom door wouldn’t close. Had to have person go out on deck and close from outside.14. Paddleboard fins broken15. 0 paddles for paddle boards

Spacious, clean and plenty to do!

We had an amazing time here! The house was very spacious for our two families (with potential for another family as well). We spent a lot of time hanging out on the main level deck. All the furniture inside and out was comfortable. We played foosball, darts, shuffleboard, and board games. Spent some time on the lake using the paddle boards and kayaks. Rented a pontoon from the Lake Club for a bit as well. Kayaked to an island with a rock that you could jump from and also went to a nearby waterfall. The hike to the waterfall is about 20 minutes, and believe it or not, it can be done shoeless (though not entirely suggested, but we did it!). Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you need and more! Two grills on the deck that are hard lined for gas, and an extra fridge and freezer in garage to hold all your food, drinks and ice. The Host, John, was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Host failed to honor his agreement to provide me with a 400 military discount, despite stating he would in writing. Have tried reaching out to him on this matter, as well as the VRBO HQ Staff who are also trying to reach out to him as well. Host, John Sill, hasn't responded to any of my emails for a week now, nor to VRBO HQ Staff. I notified him upon arrival that the toilet on main floor was leaking...NO RESPONSE! We were surprised upon check in at Bear Lake Reserve gate of a 90 fee that was never discussed in any of the information items from the property info, nor from the host. Additionally, property description listed a hot tub and pool with the property, only to find out neither was on the property but located at club house about a mile away from the property. Don't get me wrong, house was great, scenery from house balconies were spectacular. Biggest problem was host not being up front and refusing to honor his prior agreements...then NEVER RESPONDING to requests for resolution. DO NOT TRUST THE HOST as he is not a man of his word!
