Very Clean, well stocked with kitchen supplies and bathroom towels!! Grandchildren stayed entertained the slide and video games. Ideal beach pass was a plus!
Great location and a great home for a large gathering. Great distant view of the lake. Roaming deer and Turkeys each day with many happy chipmunks on the property. Watch out for the Huge bull moose that wandered in. Very happy with this property. Great access to ideal beach! Just get going early. Landlord was attentive to our needs. Thanks to all.
Wonderful place to stay. Positive on all accounts. Little bit of a rocky road to get there so be prepared. Wish there was a blender and things like Saran Wrap provided. Love having a second fridge.
The house was amazing. Plenty of room for all the family. Close to the lake and the lake access was awesome. We loved the big open kitchen and family room. We were all able to gather for dinner and games each night.
This home was very nice, our kids loved staying here. The location and perks of the house made it a wonderful place to stay. I think for the size of the home, and guests staying in the home. It really could use one more bathroom, but other than that it was awesome.
We have stayed in this house 2 times now, it is very comfortable, roomy and well equipped. Beautiful view of the lake and close to everything we wanted. We've been coming to Bear Lake for around 13 or 14 years and this is the first house we have used more than once.
Well thought out property layout for larger groups. Close to everything. Beautiful view! Kids loved the slide off of the deck:) Our family had a really nice weekend together and would definitely come back!
We loved our stay! The house is great for a big family! We loved the views out every window! We really enjoyed the deck, fire pit, ping pong table, and the Ideal Beach access. Brad was a great host!
We have a very large family, with all ages included. This house was a great location for us all to gather, eat meals together, and really enjoy the beauty of Bear Lake. What an amazing view from the deck! All the little cousins had such a fun time in the bunk area and the large/open kitchen living room made it a great place to gather. But everyone had their own space at the end of the day to relax in the clean bedrooms.
It was also a great location being so close to the beach with private beach and pool access! This was a big bonus for our little ones especially since the lake was pretty cold.
The owner was great to help out with any inquiries in a very timely manner. Highly recommend!
Nice home with comfortable beds and roomy kitchen. The view of Bear Lake was wonderful. This was a great place for our family to connect and have fun together. The kids loved the slide and fire pit. We used the grill and loved eating on the deck to enjoy the view and watch wildlife. You are also close enough to drive in to town to get a shake every night after dinner!
This home is wonderful! It is roomy, has comfortable beds, nice linens, and has a balcony where you can sit and enjoy viewing the lake. The home is clean, has a well stocked kitchen and is a short distance from the lake and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at the BlueBell Beauty!! The view of the lake from the house was amazing! We had a total of 20 family members and we had more than enough room for everyone. The house was very well stocked with towels, dishes and utensils. We loved the open floor plan, including the huge great room with the deck off of it - there was plenty of room for all of us to enjoy our time together! I hope to get to return next year for a stay again!
