Extended family getaway

This property fit our big family nicely. And the set up was very conducive to accommodating big family meals and games. It’s hard to find nice places with enough room for all the kids and grandkids and we loved our time together, Very convenient location for snow fun also.

Great Friend Reunion Stay

We had such an enchanting and memorable time at this home. My family and I came with seven other friends from college and their families. There were 44 of us and we had a wonderful time reconnecting and making new memories. Took time away for a day at the beach (used the trailer of kayaks and paddleboards additional rental available) and a short nearby hike but spent most of our time enjoying time togetget at the property. Had fun playing games, eating, dancing, crafting and watching an outdoor movie on the nice lawn. Highly recommend this home for your next large gathering at Bear Lake!

2024 Family Gathering

We as a family hadn't gotten together in over 10 years. We drove from California, Nebraska and Colorado to this absolutely amazing home. Over 8000 square feet of beauty with the most STUNNING views of Bear Lake. Plenty of room for 35 of us to enjoy each other's company and so many amazing fun opportunities near by. The owners are absolutely great, a phone call away for anything you needed. We had a beautiful time and I would absolutely recommend this VRBO. It is a bucket list item..Go, book today.

Great home and locations

We had a large group of 19 kids and 12 adults and had the best time at this house! Great location to beaches, playhouse, Minnetonka cave etc, and so many fun things at the house that kept everyone busy for hours. My only complaint would be that the house is in need of a deep clean. The cleaners came before we arrived and you never would have known it, except that the beds were freshly made.

Perfect Family Getaway

The house was perfect for our family reunion. There were lots of places for the kids to play, inside and out. We loved the many gathering areas inside for everyone to do their various activities and not feel like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is large and the huge pantry and extra fridge and freezers were perfect for holding all the food for the reunion. There were a lot of little things that made it nice for kids - the toys, game room, plastic dishes and extra mattresses, to name a few. The location is gorgeous and was a lovely backdrop for our family pictures. The variety of bedrooms and bunks fit each family and the beds were super comfortable. I would highly recommend this house and would love to stay here again.

Perfect for our Family

With 23 people to accommodate for our family reunion this was the perfect place. Each of the five families had their own bedrooms, the 13 kids loved the bunk rooms and the playroom. Our nightly programs were held in the living room with plenty of space for everyone. It was easy to feed everyone with 3 large tables. The adults ate in the formal dinner and could actually visit without kids interrupting. Used the fire pit outside the last night because the weather was perfect for it. Couldn't have had a better reunion there.

Best Vacation House EVER!!

This house look amazing online, but to experience it in person was WOW! We had 27 adult/teenagers, and 7 kids under 7, with 2 newborns. Everyone had space to spread out. Several areas in the home to gather and do different activities. Great space and activities in the garage and in the backyard. Great view of the lake and mountains. We were even able to watch the meteor shower because the stars were so visible at night. Everyone in my family wants to come back. We felt spoiled and it was a great stress reliever and memory maker. Thanks so much!

Incredible destination!

This home really has everything! Regardless of age, this home has something for everything. There are tons of activities available, the views and location are spectacular and the home is well stocked. We had almost 50 people and had no problem fitting everyone. There was plenty of bedding and seating for everyone. The homeowners were very responsive and helpful. The check in process was very easy. The home itself was beautiful. There were a few places where there was some damage to the carpet, but this was very minor in comparison to the overall beauty of the home, We would definitely stay there again.

Family reunion

We rented the house for a four day family reunion. The property exceeded our expectations. We played volleyball every day on the sand volleyball court. We played kickball,baseball and basketball. We flew kites on the huge lawn. The huge back deck was perfect for relaxing and viewing the lake. We were worried about having 36 people in one house but it worked out perfectly. The house in big enough that we never felt crowded. One night we made smores and talked around the fire pit.The hostes were excellent. We needed extra sheets one night and in one phone call the problem was fixed.The house was equipped with every appliance, pots pans ect. We would stay there again in a minute.

Westlake Escape

We just finished are family reunion at this beautiful house. We had 50 people at the house. It didn't feel cramped or smothered. The owners have thought of everything. The outside amenities were one of the selling points that the others rentals didn't have. Volleyball and basketball court, junior pickle ball set, playhouse and fire pit. Huge deck for visiting and eating. I loved the kayaks and paddle boards that is available to rent. We loved the North beach. Lots of tables to eat and play games. It felt like a home away from home. The owners made sure they were assessable and answered any questions we had. The garage had ping pong, fusball and a basketball hoop game. Plenty of places to hang, young and old. It is decorated very nicely and all the furniture looks nice and is very comfy. 5 of 5 stars for sure!!!

Amazing in EVERY way!!!

We had such a fun time at this property for our 2020 family reunion. All 7 families were amazed at how many activities there were at the house itself, and there was more than enough room and bedding for everyone to feel comfortable. (The beds themselves were VERY comfortable and we all slept well). The house was thoroughly cleaned before our arrival and it was very easy to communicate with the owner/property manager when we had questions. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could think of, and there was more than adequate storage space in the pantry and fridges/freezers for the massive amounts of food we brought. Our collective 22 children were entertained from start to finish, giving the adults time to relax and enjoy "kid-free" moments - the rock wall/foam pit was a hit, and just exploring and playing in the yard was entertainment itself on top of the massive game room/jacuzzi/fire pit/basketball court/etc. The actual area of Bear Lake is such a fun little town, and just beautiful scenery everywhere you look. We were close enough to fun activities such as horseback riding, golfing, Escape Rooms, fun places to eat, and the Minnetonka Cave. This was the perfect house to make some long-lasting memories as a family, we would definitely recommend this place to anyone. Wish we would've stayed longer!

Thanksgiving 2022 with the Family

We have an annual tradition to rent a cabin or house and spend the Thanksgiving Weekend with all of our family. We had 13 adults, 4 teenagers and 7 little kids. This house was perfect! We had comfortable rooms for everyone and the house was set up perfect for us. People could be preparing meals, doing Thanksgiving crafts, making a puzzle, playing games and watching football all at the same time. The kids had a blast playing air hockey, foosball, ping pong and playing on the climbing wall. The teenagers played video games in the family room in the basement. And everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals, including Thanksgiving dinner. Of all the places we've rented in the past, this house is our favorite ... we've already reserved it for Thanksgiving 2023!

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed going to Bear Lake for lots many vacations prior to purchasing this home, so we decided to buy our dream vacation home there, and share it with you.

This property gets you away from downtown Garden City, with an amazing view of Bear Lake. Adults can relax and converse while teens and children discover the many options for self-entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

More parking here than almost any rental property in Bear Lake. This house was built to be a Parade of Homes winner. Plenty of space for large groups to spread out, and not feel cramped. Several groups of trees to bring hammocks and read books in the shade. Large lawn for large group activities.
