Family respite

We enjoyed our stay at Bear Lake immensely. The cottages were excellent for our family and gave us the flexibility we needed. It was clean and right on the water! Kerry’s communication was outstanding and we benefited from her recommendations too. You’ll be glad you stayed here.

It's a beautiful setting, having the canoe and kayak is wonderful, and the setup was great for us, two small families vacationing together. It's also great for taking small children swimming because the lake bottom is sandy and very shallow for quite a long way out. I appreciated being able to use the on-site drip charger for my PHEV, too.

The hard well water situation was problematic for cooking, showering and drinking. The water pressure and size of the lower kitchen sink made washing dishes nearly impossible. The area is spectacular, but, the proximity to 31 distracts from the overall ambiance and was difficult to park during high traffic times.

Our stay at Bear Lake with our family was wonderful! The cottages worked out very well between two families. The beach area and porch offered a large area to soak up the sun and enjoy the water. The view of the sunset couldn’t have been better. Check in and communication was seamless. Thanks so much Kerry!
