It was a perfect location for our family to be together to remember our mother and grandmother. Being able to stay in the same house made it easier for us. The house was just as described and nothing was missing.

Great stay for family and friend get together

This home was perfect for our large end of summer family and friends get together. Plenty of room for us to be together when desired and to branch off into other areas in the home for smaller groups. We would definitely stay here again for our annual trip next year.

Awesome location

We had a large family reunion with 23 people. There was more than enough room for all of us. We had a blast. The water was close. Everything was close we could walk to the water we could walk to the pool we could walk to the pickle ball courts it was just the ideal location. The house was exactly how they said it would be. It was a wonderful experience and we really appreciate it. We look forward to coming back again.

30th Birthday Weekend

The house is very large and spacious. The house came with many chairs and a foldable table which we set up by the firepit in the backyard. The flat top grill was great for cooking burgers and hot dogs en masse. There was a PS4 which allowed us to stream subscription services. The pantry was full of cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc, which made it easy to cook our own meals. Would recommend. The hot tub at the club house across the street was under maintenance, but the hosts were responsive and agreed to reimburse us appropriately.

Perfect for Family Reunion

Beautiful clean home with large bedrooms and plenty of beds and bathrooms. Access to Legacy Beach was a huge bonus so we didn't have to use the public beach 20 minutes away. Host was very helpful and quick to answer questions. Minor issues: propane tank was empty for grill and some patio furniture was unusable.

Extended Family Getaway

This home was a great fit for our extended family getaway! Having seven bedrooms was a big deal for us as we had lots of different families gathering. Loved having bedrooms away from the main living area so we could put kids to bed and adults could stay up playing games, etc. Kiddos were a little sad that the hot tub was not open year round but other than that we loved our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Sweep

Host profile image
We absolutely love Bear Lake and enjoy spending many days in the summer boating and being with our friends and family. During the winter months we enjoy snowmobiling and skiing the deep snow that surrounds Garden city. We love Bear Lake so much we decided to purchase a home there ourselves that our family, friends and your families could enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because we both have big families and wanted a place that would fit both families at once. It is within walking distance to the beach. It is also close to all the excitement and restaurants that Bear lake has to offer during the summer.

What makes this property unique

New home that is big enough to fit everyone's friends and family and yet close enough to the water and restaurants. Feel like you are close enough to town yet far enough away that no one will bother you.
