My family enjoyed their time at Aspen Lodge. The kids loved the game room and the big lawn area where they could run and play games. We appreciated the large kitchen/dining area that was big enough for us to gather our family. Cooking equipment could be updated but everything else was enjoyed by all of us.
100% would stay here again. The host was fantastic and went above and beyond to meet our needs. The home was beautiful and perfect for our family reunion. Perfect blend of private and community space. Close enough to walk to the lake and stores in town.
The house was as described. Great recreation room for all ages. Convenient location. We loved our experience there! Kitchen well stocked. Lots of movies to choose from and a projector upstairs for the bunk room with all the kids! Thank you so much Tami….it was just what we needed!!
Clean, cool in summer heat, rooms pleasantly more spacious than online pics, family oriented/thoughtful supplies with everything you need (ages baby-80’s for our group), well stocked kitchen for a crowd, fabulous game room for baby-teen/adult (air hockey, ping pong, pool table, foosball, foam pit, climbing wall, indoor playsets w/slides, toys for littles), beach toys/kayaks/life jackets, outdoor patio & lawn space to gather/play/eat, plenty of parking. Host quick to respond/help, friendly, family oriented.
Aspen lodge was just right for our group of 28 adults and 12 children (8 family units). it had a more spacious gathering area than I had anticipated (the entry, dining, and "TV Room" are contiguous) and the play area is generous; the kids had a great time there and were entertained throughout our 3 night stay. The Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, The patio is great towards the evening (it is on the east side and in the shadows as the sun moves lower in the sky in the late afternoon and evening). The grass area is generous with plenty of room for gqmes. Check in and check out were a snap. Five stars.
We found it to be clean and well supplied with all we needed We truly enjoyed our time there. The towel holder in the half bathroom came off when my grandson was drying his hands. It must have been ready to break because he is an adult and would not have done anything to break it. We love Bear Lake vacations and Aspen Lodge accommodated us very well with lots of rooms and fun things inside and outside for all ages. Thank you for keeping this place so clean for your guests.
The game room was SO fun! One thing we really appreciated was having big gathering spaces, tons of tables in the kitchen for large family meals, and tons of sofas in the lounging room, and everywhere else. It was a great stay! Our host was responsive to our questions about weather conditions (winter in Bear Lake can be a thing) and we loved staying at this beautiful property!
This place was perfect for our family get together. The kids loved the play area which is well stocked with toys besides the things you see in the pictures. The tables and chairs in the kitchen were enough for our group. The beds were fairly comfortable. This place is a little older but the price made it so we could do this little stay after we traveled to the Bear Lake area for the burial of my father. Thank you.
The Cabin was much bigger and spacious than we had imagined from the pictures. We had PLENTY of seating for meals and for lounging for 37. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking and prepping food. The play room was perfect for all the grandkids to run around in and entertain them with lots of options without tons of noise echoing throughout the house. Some of the beds were slightly wobbly but overall there weren’t any complaints about any of the rooms. The backyard was perfect for playing volleyball and other yard games and we loved playing tetherball. The house was right off the walking trail which made for fun evening and morning strolls. We were less than 5 min from the beach, shopping, fishing, pickleball courts and playgrounds. We definitely plan to use the cabin again for our large family reunions again!
Tami was great to work with! The property is well maintained and had everything we needed.Lots of space inside and out. We played volleyball, the kids loved the foam pit and climbing wall, and there was lots of space to gather.
My family and I stayed here for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and we absolutely loved it. The home was very clean, spacious, and thoughtfully set up for a large family. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and each space was filled with items that made it easy for all ages to enjoy.We especially appreciated the large kitchen, which worked perfectly for our big family gatherings. The added Christmas tree made the home feel extra cozy and special for the holidays. The location was great, with amazing views, and it truly felt like the perfect place to make lasting memories. We would absolutely stay here again
We had a big family reunion and this place was perfect for all ages! It had enough seating for everyone for meals. Perfect room arrangement and sleeping arrangements. We loved it!
