Beautiful, well stocked, great view of the lake, gorgeous sky at night, very easy layout. Lots of things to do in the area… it took a couple of nights to get accustomed to the traffic noise from highway 31 but it worked out. Overall a great stay!

Lake Bear Family Vacation

It was perfect for our family of four! We loved that we could walk down to the little public access spots and swim. We loved being close to other beautiful spots for hiking and kayaking. We also loved having a place to relax as a family. Loved the views of the water from the house.

Nice Stay!

The property was very clean and had a nice view. Lake access isn't great but we found a spot we liked, and thankfully didn't have many other visitors so we were able to social distance. Overall we had a really nice family vacation and enjoyed our time on Bear Lake.

Bear Lake Vacation

The only negative about this property at all was the fact it did not have it's own beach area, but there are several public access areas nearby. The property itself was great. Very clean and had about everything you need. I would recommend it.

Cleanest Place Ever

Had a very nice stay at property by Bear Lake. Nice view of lake and small public access across the street. Lovely view of sunsets, although power lines partially obstructed view, thus using public access on lake. This is probably the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed with VRBO. However, be sure to read entire description of what is included or not included; I.e. no body wash, shampoo or conditioner provided, which is the first of all the places we’ve ever stayed. Note: bathroom is huge, but shower surround is quite small. Luckily we are both small in stature and weight, but shower stall is smaller than 36” X 36” as one corner is cut at an angle. Bed in master was very comfortable, which is certainly a plus!
