We were looking for a place for our family of 15 to meet, play games, and swim in a pool facility. The Cedar Farmhouse was large enough for all of us and we very much enjoyed our stay. The indoor pool/hot tub was a great facility. Generally, the pool facility was great and well maintained. Once the hot tub became foul smelling, but following my contact with the property manager, it was pristine in under 24 hours. That was the only issue with the indoor pool area. It was a great facility. The hot tub on the back patio of the Cedar Farmhouse never worked, and we never saw anyone come try to repair it. Other than that problem, the maintenance team did a great job and was very responsive, really nice and great to work with. We had a great time. The Cedar Farmhouse is a great place to stay.
We rented both the Farmhouse and the Barn to accommodate our family of 19. Both houses were clean, comfortable and spacious and the pool house was a hit for us all. Just a note though the top step to the pool is very slippery. Areas needing improvements... There are no closets for clothes in either house. This may not bother some, but those expecting luxury accommodations as advertised usually expect closet space. There were no garbage bags, broom or blow-dryers in the farmhouse. We had to borrow them from the barn. If we had not rented both houses this wouldn't have been possible. There was a gas leak. Someone came to fix it but only turned it off assuring us this would be temporary. Apparently the message was not forwarded to management. This left us with no hot water or stoves in the farmhouse for over 24 hours. The leak was fixed only after my daughter called management and demanded the gas be turned back on.
We made a quick, last minute trip to Bear Lake and were lucky to get the Cedar Farmhouse for a couple of nights. It accommodated our entire family nicely! We loved the pool! Our children loved it more than the lake!
For a two nights stay we paid a lot in fees. Then on top of that vrbo charged another very large fee! We will not use VRBO again because of these fees.
We had a blast as a family - all 22 of us! The Farm House was fantastic! Close to Bear Lake and Garden City hub. The swimming pool and hot tubs were a real hit for family members of all ages! We would definitely go back there again!
We were very pleased with this property and would book again. There were a few things that we noticed that would have been a little more helpful. The sofa bed was dreadful. Ended up sleeping on the downstairs couch. The propane for the outside grill was 95% empty. No dishwashing detergent was available. We did bring our own hand soap, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Worried the whole time about getting any stains on the white toweling. Mattresses in the bedrooms were not great quality. This makes it sound like we didn't enjoy the stay, but we actually did. These things were not deal breakers for us and we had a fun time just being together as a family.
This house is beautiful The layout is perfect for an extended family. It has a large well equipped kitchen and spacious gathering areas both inside and out. The pool was clean, conveniently located next door, and provided hours of fun for everyone in our group. There is a fun treehouse in the loft that kept the littlest members of our family entertained. If I had one complaint it would be that the mattresses are not very comfortable but overall this house is wonderful and was the perfect place for our family getaway.
AMAZING house / INCREDIBLE pool / just okay management
First of all, the good points. And there are many! This house was AMAZING! So beautiful and a wonderful layout for big groups. It was clean and well decorated. Our family loved the private hot tub, and the kids absolutely loved the pool house. We walked to the pond just down the street and fished a bit. It was one of the most beautiful VRBO homes we have stayed in, and we have stayed in A LOT.
Now for the not so great parts of the stay:
- The beds are not comfortable AT ALL. The beds are all cheap mattresses on wooden frames with no box springs. Every member of our family mentioned how uncomfortable they were. Such a bummer for such a nice place and definitely not what you would expect.
- The communication with the property manager was not great. We were almost there and still hadn't received any check-in instructions. I texted and they sent them to us, but I've never had to ask before.
- We shared the pool house with the guests of the home next door. This was explained in the description, so wasn't a surprise. The part that was a surprise was the fact that there were no assigned private/shared hours for the pool as was stated in the description. I texted the property manager, and they responded and said there was no schedule. So, we had to work this out with the guests of the house next door. Not the end of the world, but a bit awkward. The guests next door had been there for a week already and had a HUGE group, so while they were very nice, they sort of acted like the pool was theirs and they were letting us use it occasionally. And because their group was so large, and ours was just our small family, we didn't really want to swim every time with them. One of the main reasons I booked this house was because it essentially had a private pool. Which didn't end up being quite as advertised. Also, the property manager didn't give us a code for the pool house until the second day we were there, so the guests next door had to let us in.
Between the uncomfortable beds and the poor management/communication, I almost left three stars, but despite these things, our family really did have a great time and would even go back (especially now that we fully understand what we are getting into), so I decided four stars is fair. I would definitely recommend it, provided the guests know to be proactive in communication ahead of time.
Nice home just as pictured. We had 3 families staying under the same roof and fit all of us perfectly with enough room to spare. Rooms were good but the only thing missing was closet space but was fine as we were able to wash on-site. The kitchen is also great space and fully equipped with the exception of a blender. The younger as well as the older children enjoyed the playground and the pond area. Would love to stay here again if we are in the area again.
