The place was perfect. Wonderful lake view. Everything was well thought out. If we needed anything just open a cabinet it was there. We will definitely recommend to our friends looking for a place to stay.

We truly and enjoyed our second summer in a row at Bear Lake. Even with some rain most days, we still had more than enough time to enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. The property manager was very attentive and provided everything we asked for and needed! This is a great place to stay!!

The house is on a hidden gem of a lake! The water is beautiful and calm. They provided paddle boards, kayaks and a paddle boat! Everything we needed to enjoy the lake. The house itself is well equipped and the beds were super comfortable! You can tell the owner cares about its renters having a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend!
