The cabin was beautiful and spacious and well stocked with everything you might need. The view of the lake was gorgeous and the porch that wound all the way around the cabin was so fun to go sit out on and enjoy the view. The access to the Ideal Beach resort with its pools and beaches and playgrounds and rentals was so much fun. We went down every single day. We had a wonderful time there and would definitely like to come back someday.

Lake house

The property is located in a great area overlooking Bear Lake. The home is very well set up, and close to all the attractions available in the area. Our children and grandchildren enjoyed the stay.

Great Cabin

This is a great place to stay! The property was very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. We had kids of all ages and there was plenty of room and things to do. They had plenty of games already there and the pool table and basketball was fun as well. This is a great place to stay and would recommend it to anyone

Beautiful View/Spacious House

We had 11 adults staying at this property. We had more than enough room for all of us. The home is beautiful and comfortable. The view of Bear Lake is gorgeous. We would stay there again.

Just what we needed

The property was just what we were looking for. Large stocked kitchen, great gathering table for eating and games, two living areas for relaxing and recreation and lots of options for sleeping arrangements. We only had one minor maintenance issue and the owner responded so fast! We would definitely stay here again.

Family fun connection

We loved staying here as a way to connect family of 12. The cousins had so much fun. Corn whole tournament was so fun and so nice game board was provided. The lake close by allowed us tons of lakeside fun and the view from the cabin spectacular. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Amazingly the best!

This was our 2nd time staying at Riley's property. This house is amazing. There is plenty of room for people to spread out. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds are great. The game room was great to play pool and shoot a little bit of basketball. Absolutely amazing! We will be back!

Another Great Stay

This was our second time at this home. Everything was perfect. The beds are very comfortable. The game room in the basement was enjoyed by everyone, but especially the grandkids. Loved the view from the porch. We had one cold and rainy day but did not feel trapped in this spacious home.

first time bear laker

We had 3 families (17 people) staying here and loved it. The kids enjoyed the rec room and outdoor playset. The adults liked the view, the decor, the space and the big tv. None of us had ever been to Bear Lake so we didn't know the set up but it may be important to note that although this place has resort access, it is not within walking distance. It was a quick drive (maybe 2 miles) down to the pools and lake and parking was easy and available. The house was very clean and well equipped. We were able to get all our questions answered quickly and accurately. I would recommend this property to others.

Great location but listing not accurate and communication spotty

Overall a great time was had. However sleeping arrangements were tricky because it was listed as being able to sleep 17 but that would include sleeping 2on a pullout only large enough for 1 and two bodies on couches that were not sleeper beds that were not comfy, & didn’t come with any extra bedding for the couch sleepers. Water went out one day add couldn’t get a response when I texted about it at all! It came back on after a while, but nobody checked in with us. WiFi was out for the entire day at the end of our stay. So not ideal. Kitchen well stocked. A nice snack provided when we entered. View amazing! Grandkids loved the play-set outside.

Good but not great

Great location, beautiful views, and nice layout. It was just not as nice as I'd expect for the price and compared to other cabins we've stayed at within the area. Here are some examples: cookware and dishes in cupboards were not clean, some linens were stained, no washcloths, wifi was SLOW (not strong enough to stream anything), broken parts in game room, ran out of gas for the grill after one use, and just over all not a well maintained cabin. There was no binder with instructions on the cabin, orientation to the area, or anything else. I don't think the owners or management company are doing enough to ensure the property is ready for the next stay, nor doing enough to keep it maintained to high quality standards. With some better attention to detail this would be an excellent stay.

This property was fantastic and incredibly well-stocked! The photos honestly don’t do it justice—it is much nicer in person. There was plenty of room for everyone, a beautiful view, and tons of outdoor space for the kids to run around. The game room was also a massive hit with the kids.

We absolutely loved this cabin. We already rebooked it for next year. It has plenty of space with fun amenities like pool as well as an absolutely beautiful view. Best cabin we have stayed at in that area.
