Fun place to stay!

This home was the best equipped property we have stayed in. The garage is filled with a ping pong table, foosball table, hockey table, indoor basketball and more. The room off the master bedroom where young children might stay had books, and toys. There is also playground equipment and beautiful grass. We enjoyed our stay!

Great Bear Lake Vacation

The property was beautiful. It's close to all the beaches and town. My grandchildren loved the games in the garage, and the "bunk" room, so they could all sleep in the same room. We loved the deck off the kitchen--we enjoyed our meals there and loved the view of the lake. We played games on the grassy area below the deck. We had a great time--there was lots of room to be together and enjoy each other.

Fun, spacious and functional!

This property is a perfect spot to visit Bear Lake. The downstairs aids in the perfect kids den where they can play, sleep and lounge. The upstairs is plenty of room for the adults plus younger kids in the master. Kitchen has all the supplies you need including an incredible black stone griddle cooktop outside, cast iron pan, crockpot, baking supplies, extra coffee, filters and tons of spices. They are not stingy about extra supplies such as detergent, garbage bags, towels, toilet paper etc. They also have TONS of games and toys! Great place for families with young kids up to teens. The only downfall was there is no outside garbage on site. It is $30 extra if you want one which we opted out of. Otherwise, a very fun, spacious and functional space!
