We had a wonderful time at Great Bear Lake. We stayed with some of our kids and grandkids. The vacation home was comfortable and well-equipped. There are lots of things indoors and outdoors to keep the kids happy.

The place was better than the description. It was roomy, clean and stocked with everything we needed. Didn't need to bring much besides food and clothes, they have it all, which is rare. The view is fantastic and a nice quiet lake with sandy bottom for the kids and swimming. Would definitely stay here again. We had so much fun.

This was our second time coming to the cottage. The size and setting are the perfect fit and Karen is the perfect host. We're always impressed with how well cared for and maintained the home is. Thank you for letting us enjoy your family's home!

Excellent in every way! The owner, Karen, was especially kind to deal with—quickly communicated and responded to our questions. Moms and dads with kiddos enjoyed the proximity of the lake (and NOT having to pack-up the minivan every day of our stay). The outdoors was lovely and the weather cooperated too! Realistically, double beds can only accommodate one person (in our family), so make adjustments accordingly (we did).
