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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Bear Lake Paradise!

Riley's home is one of the best we have stayed at. The kitchen is extremely well stocked, and the location couldn't be better. There is plenty of room to spread out and plenty of room for gathering of loved ones. This was the perfect central station for the many activities to do in the area. Book now if you have the chance. It is well worth it!!

Great views and fun stay

Check in time was 4pm. We had family that arrived by 4 but couldn't check in bc we hadn't received the door code. It took quite sometime before we were given access by the property manager. The cabin was nice and our stay was fun for the most part. There was plenty of room for our families. The deck was nice especially in the evening. We stayed 4 nights. I wish I could give 5 star but it was just before our checkout when things didn't go as planned. The a/c stopped working the last day of our stay. We had left early in the day for some activities and when we returned in the afternoon, we found the house warming up instead of cooling. I contacted the property manager immediately to which they said this was outside of their control but if they had known sooner they might have been able to help. So we spent the next 18 hours in misery bc the house was heating up. We left the windows open but it didnt provide us with much relief! The next morning was still hot while we packed our bags and did everything check out required. I requested a partial refund from the property manager for 1 night where the outcome was out of everyone's control. Even though the pm had asked what sort of discount I wanted they never responded to me asking for a partial refund. I never received a partial refund for 1 night. I wasn't asking for an entire night stay or anything else bc the home wasn't comfortable during our last day. Yes I realize things can happen outside of everyone's control. But I also would expect for some sort of compensation. I did everything I was supposed to do (making payments ahead of schedule and taking care of the property as if it were my own). Amazing how 1 day and no response can flip an experience. Several of my family members were very upset and thought I shouldn't do parts of the checkout process. But we did everything that was expected.

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.

Amazing place to stay. We loved it! Plenty of room and space for everyone. Kitchen area has lots of space making meals easy. Nice to have different floors to space if all out, too. Owners are very kind and get back quickly with any questions. Fun family getaway for many ages. We are thinking it would also be a fun Summer getaway.
