Bright, open, cheery!
Loved the property, location, and view of Bear Lake. Comfy, spacious, lake-themed decor, with lots and lots of natural light. Evening sun on the balcony was amazing. Plenty of counter space, kitchen amenities, and dining space.

My wife and I so enjoyed our stay here. The home is very comfortable and we loved the porch overlooking the lake! The sunsets were spectacular. The owner of the property was very kind and did the utmost to make our stay the best. Love to stay here again if we ever get back in the area!

Wonderful home and host. The home may not be on the lake, but you can see the lake from every window and there are many public access points to the beach.

Cleanest Place Ever
Had a very nice stay at property by Bear Lake. Nice view of lake and small public access across the street. Lovely view of sunsets, although power lines partially obstructed view, thus using public access on lake. This is probably the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed with VRBO. However, be sure to read entire description of what is included or not included; I.e. no body wash, shampoo or conditioner provided, which is the first of all the places we’ve ever stayed. Note: bathroom is huge, but shower surround is quite small. Luckily we are both small in stature and weight, but shower stall is smaller than 36” X 36” as one corner is cut at an angle. Bed in master was very comfortable, which is certainly a plus!

Great cottage
We enjoyed our stay at Bear Lake. The cottage was a great fit for our family of 4. Very clean and spacious. Right across the street from a public access point to the lake. We will be back!

Lake Bear Family Vacation
It was perfect for our family of four! We loved that we could walk down to the little public access spots and swim. We loved being close to other beautiful spots for hiking and kayaking. We also loved having a place to relax as a family. Loved the views of the water from the house.

Nice Stay!
The property was very clean and had a nice view. Lake access isn't great but we found a spot we liked, and thankfully didn't have many other visitors so we were able to social distance. Overall we had a really nice family vacation and enjoyed our time on Bear Lake.

Absolutely loved the Bear lake area
Couldn't have asked for a nicer home to rent. Perfect for a single family. We did have 4 adults and 3 kids and it worked just fine. The property management company was great to work with. We've stayed north of Bear lake many times, but we have definitely found a great location (Bear Lake) and will keep coming back.

The only negative about this property at all was the fact it did not have it's own beach area, but there are several public access areas nearby. The property itself was great. Very clean and had about everything you need. I would recommend it.
