We were impressed with this property. It is perfectly located for the activities we wanted to do. It has a nice back lawn with plenty of yard games. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds very comfortable. We will likely stay here again next year for our extended family vacation.

Perfect for a Family Reunion

We loved staying here. The listing is accurate and the house was very well stocked with everything we needed for cooking meals. The view of the lake is amazing and so relaxing. We highly recommend this home and hope to stay here again.

Beautiful views of the lake

Nice property with beautiful views of the lake. It worked well for our multi-family reunion. Some of the beds were not very comfortable, but it had the best stocked kitchen of the several large homes we've used for our reunions.

My family had a reunion at this location……… It was absolutely perfect. I absolutely loved the huge deck outback grass to play games and we were lucky enough to be there the weekend of raspberry days and catch the boats all lit up on the water as well as The fireworks from the hot tub… I loved that they had large pots and pans and plenty of utensils and kitchen supplies with a large family reunion…… I’m usually disappointed that the pots and pans are tiny and small and not enough of them…

Great Family Reunion House

Our family loved this house. The double fridges and dishwashers was a huge plus (along with the walk-in-pantry. The large deck, grassy back yard, and view of lake were favorites. All the bedrooms where a good size and the family room was large and accommodating.

This home was perfect for our family reunion. We had 10 small children who loved the back yard and the toys. Their favorite place was the bookshelf surprise. The kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you for an amazing place to stay

The Best Family Week in this House!

This house was just great for our family vacation! It was comfortable and had everything we needed. The view from almost every room was beautiful. Sarah was so easy to work with and quick to answer our questions. The kids all had a blast playing with the toys. The location was perfect for beach access as well as the town. Each bedroom was cool and comfortable for all of us and the outdoor shower was a big hit. We will definitely book this house again... thank you!

Beautiful house, gorgeous views, great value

This cabin was perfect for our family reunion at Bear Lake. We had 12 adults and 13 children (ranging from 2 to 17 years), and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is beautifully designed with gorgeous views of the lake (we hired a photographer to take family photos in the backyard, and they turned out great). The house is very well stocked, and the kitchen has everything a large group would need, including dishes, spices, pots/pans, crockpots, waffle makers, etc. (it doesn't show in the pictures, but there is a second fridge as well). For what you get, I think this place is one of the best values on VRBO! Would highly recommend!

Beautiful, Charming and Wonderful!

We had 22 people, both young and old staying in this beautiful vacation home for a family reunion. We loved it so much! Clean, spacious, comfortable. We loved all of the light streaming in through the windows, and the large yard where we had several games of football. The hot tub was a fun extra. Location was great. Close enough to the marina and raspberry shakes. There is a four wheeling trail within easy access. We had a few hiccups with the freezer not working, but the manager was helpful. I would definitely recommend the property to a friend, in fact I already have. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Thanks Marisa, we have since replaced the freezer- so that is no longer a problem. We are so glad you had a wonderful time.

We LOVED IT!!!

This property was perfect for our big family. Plenty of room for kids, and other activities to all go on at the same time. Record outdoor temperatures made sleeping in the upper rooms a challenge the first night, but once it cooled down, it was great! We loved the big back yard perfect for games, hot tubing, out-door movie at night, bbq grilling, etc. Kitchen was so well equiped; two refrigerators/freezers (so great for alot of people). We experienced a power bump one night as a result of a local storm. Property mangrs/owner responded quickly to problems that occured. We would definitely stay here again!!!

Disliked: Communication
We stayed here for an extended family trip, and the home was exactly as promised—clean, comfortable, and a great setup for our group. The only drawback was communication with the host. I had sent a message with questions before our arrival and didn’t receive a reply until the day of, when it was too late to be helpful. During our stay, the power briefly went out, and we didn’t hear back from the host for about 12 hours. Nothing was an emergency, and it didn’t impact our trip, but I was surprised by the lack of responsiveness. Overall, we had a great time, but communication could be improved.

Lots of room for our family

Our family really enjoyed the big backyard where we played badminton, water games, baseball, soccer, bubbles, and especially the hot tub! The outdoor shower was a great addition to use when we returned from the beach and needed to wash all the sand off. Our little ones especially loved finding the secret room that they hid in when it was time to go to bed!! But the BEST of all was the spectacular view of the lake!! On the other hand there was one downside and that was the A/C did not work in the bedrooms above the garage. Our solution was to open up the windows at night and get it cooled down then in the morning we would close them up before it got hot and it kept the temperature around 75° which lasted until 8:00pm then we would start the process over again! It worked for us!

4th of July Family Time

House is exactly like pictures except a few things need to be cleaned, updated or added. Cleaned the outside shower (full of spiders) and the hot tub was not clean, bird poop on outside and inside needed to be cleaned. Also it never got hot (luke warm). Updated electrical - breakers need to be constantly reset in order to use the dishwasher and if you had more than one appliance going. Added - there was only one bath room that had soap, shampoo and conditioner and the 2 rooms above the garage do not have air conditioning and in June - July never were cool. There was plenty of parking and lawn to play outdoor activities. The owner did communicate on a timely manner and overall the property was nice for our family event.

Great stay, home is amazing with such beautiful views! As mentioned in other reviews the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare great meals! So many great relaxing areas and room for people to get away and get some quiet time with a large group in the home, even on cooler rainy days!

Thanks for sharing your lovely home.

We had a wonderful time. A Great home. The addition of a swimming pool would have been over the top. Need to add grab bars for elderly in bathroom. We suggest that some hooks on bathroom doors would be an inexpensive addition.

Fun family week at Bear Lake!

This house is perfect for our family of married kids with their families. The grandkids all have a place as well as the adults. The location is great and the yard is ideal. The property manager, Sarah, is very quick to respond to any problem that may arise, and is always very helpful and happy. We will stay here again!

Our Bear Lake Family waterski Trip

Our family had a wonderful time together sharing fun at the beach, in the boats surfing, wakeboarding, sailing and eating great meals! The views of the lake from this property are so beautiful. We spent most of our days on the water and enjoyed watching the Olympics and beading bracelets until late at night. Ping pong was a hit too! The back yard was so fun for the kids to play badminton and run around! We enjoyed eating out on the deck too. The rooms over the garage were pretty warm (85* at night) and I would suggest adding air conditioning to that area. Some of the cupboards including the garbage cabinet needed a good cleaning. All in all we loved staying at your beautiful home. The decor was especially fun. Thank you for providing this beautiful home. Valerie Terry
