We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, cozy, and exactly as expected from the listing. The host was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to check in a couple of hours early, which gave us that much more time to enjoy our stay and was greatly appreciated. Everything was comfortable and well kept, and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy Bear Lake Reserve. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Great property nestled in the Bear Lake woods. It’s about 3 miles from the greeters cottage and another 2 to the clubhouse. Seemed like it was supposed to be a busy weekend but we barely saw anyone else. Home was very clean and as advertised. Everything is in great condition and makes your stay hassle free. The WiFi works inside the house and gets spotty on the deck or outside. You’ll need to pack in your own firewood as the property management does not provide. Bears are reportedly still active but didn’t get so lucky to see any.

Justin, We're glad to see you enjoyed your stay even though you didn't see some of our natural wildlife. Service can unfortunately be spotty with cell phone service and internet strength and we will be sure to pass along your notes to the owner. It's great to see you still managed to have an excellent time and we hope to host everyone again!

Great stay at Bear Elegance - short drive to Lake Club!

House was well appointed, beds were very comfortable, kids loved the fireplace on back porch, and it was a very short driving distance to the Lake Club/pool/marina.
