My family and I had an amazing trip to Bear Lake Reserve and the home was absolutely perfect! Justin was very responsive and I was so impressed with how the kitchen had everything you could possibly want. We will be back!

The house is beautiful and being able to walk to the clubhouse was amazing. We had a wonderful day and the host was extremely responsive. Everything was so clean and the beds were comfy.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location! It’s located right on the water and a few steps away from the Lake Club. We enjoyed dinner at Lake Club one evening on the deck and it was great. House was as described and very clean and spacious. Kitchen had everything needed for meal prep. Beware of the bears though. They got into our truck because we forgot to lock the doors. Area is peaceful and quiet. If you’re looking for peace and quiet and a get away to unplug; this is the place. One night we traveled to Oak Steakhouse at Skyline Lodge and I highly recommend that.

Amazing house. Perfectly clean. Very well stocked. Amazing linens, beds, furniture, amenities, views, inside and out. The views are LOVELY. The 1 minute walk to lake club pool, restaurant, and marina are amazing. No need to get in car. Already talking about when to return!
