We had a wonderful stay but would recomend a few things

We had 3 generations from 17 yrs to 77 years together to celebrate Christmas, and had a wonderful visit... The travel through BLR was long and winding as promised and I would recommend arriving in the daylight for that reason. The kitchen was fully stocked and the space was sufficient for our size group (6). House was overall clean. I would recommend better lighting inside and out. It is very low light and difficult to see curbs and steps. We had the fire alarm go off for no reason and and several power outages. That was no ones error just poor timing. But it would have been nice to have the owners contact info to assist with that. And one towel the should have been taken out of circulation before our visit. But other than those small things we had a great time and would highly recommend! We also had a sweet visit with the otter that lives in the fising pond!

Bear Lake

This place needs a complete update. The heating/cooling is impossible and VERY loud. First 2 days were spent without phone, wifi, internet, text, or email capabilities. Property manager tried to say it was an outtage, however all tenants around us had theirs. The soap dispensers pumped rusty old black soap that hadn’t been checked/cleaned in ages. There is an electric fireplace that doesn’t seem to emit any heat and sounds like a swarm of bees buzzing. This is definitely not 3 bedroom as a bed lofted over the family room has no privacy or noise protection. On our 1st night, there was NOT AN OUNCE of soap, shampoo, etc to use until we could purchase some locally (which is a 35 minute treacherous ride down the mountain). While we met lovely people at the Lake House restaurant, facilities, etc, we won’t be back to this outdated and less than clean unit.

Great Mountain Vacation

Property was a great location on the mountain and we enjoyed our week at Bear Lake Reserve. Just the right amount of space for our 3 person family.

Not what was advertised

After a 10 hour drive to get to what we had chosen for our vacation- a water view unit at Bear Lake Reserve we were amazed to find out there was actually NO WATER VIEW at all. Secondly the listing states 2 bedroom and a loft. Sadly the 2nd bedroom is also upstairs which should be noted by the host. After several conversations with the property manager and us explaining that there is no Waterview at this property I was told multiple times the ad never states that however it did until we complained and then they updated it to say there is water views during the “winter months”. Needless to say, my husband and I were very disappointed and ended our vacation short. We were only credited one night not the two nights we deserved. Very disappointed with this experience and as seasoned travelers, and VRBO guests this host experience was absolutely the worst.

Fantastic Mountain Condo

We loved our week away in the mountains! The condo was exactly as described and was perfect for my wife and I, three adult children, and one puppy. We loved the fireplace and the view! Bear Lake Reserve is exceptional and beautiful too. We hiked, played pickle ball and ate some very nice meals at the Lake Club. As described by others, grocery shop before you arrive as it's about 30 minutes or more to a store of any kind. Once you enter the gate of the Reserve its another 5 miles to the condo and this will take over 20 minutes because of the very curvy and steep roads. I highly recommend arriving in the daytime. We visited the Highlands community one day and returned after dark. It was very difficult to see the road. Beyond that, we had an incredible time and plan on returning in the summer or fall so we can play some golf and swim in the lake and pool. We highly recommend this condo and Bear Lake Reserve.
