Big house with amenities

The house is big with so much potential. We had issues when we stayed though. The main fridge was broke when we got there, there was a dusty moldy smell downstairs which made 1/2 the family sleeping down there feel like they had allergies. The sectional couch in the basement NEEDs to go if it hasn’t yet. It was so old and not comfortable at all. And the projector wasn’t working. That was a big disappointment when you’re looking forward to a theater room. Vacasa was super helpful and very responsive with everything. They were a great help!! The issues here would need to be addressed with the owners. Great kitchen and enough tables, working hot tub, kids loved the blow up playhouse in the garage!

Christmas Family Reunion

Best Christmas ever to have my whole family together all 32 of us at such a nice and spacious place. Kids enjoyed the bouncing house in garage, xbox games, marble wall, theater, pool table, fooshball while the adults enjoyed the large kitchen up stairs. Everybody also liked the hot tube. Also what a great view. The deer came and visited us on the last day.

Men's Retreat 2023

While we have stayed at this location before because we have always enjoyed the view and quiet nature of the area. Our complaints were the following: many of the dishes were not clean. It is pretty gross to pull out silverware or serving utensils and find them with dried food still on them. This also includes several dishes we came across. Not good. Next were the beds. the one in the main bedroom next to the kitchen needs a new mattress. It is too soft with no support. I wound up sleeping on the couch in the kitchen area to keep from having sever back issues each morning. Several other men complained about their beds as well, wish I knew which rooms are at fault. Finally, the pool table and ques need major attention. Ques, several tips are broken and most of them are warped. As for the table itself, one cushion is about to fall off and the felt on the surface is extremely worn. The table itself is a fine piece of furniture, just needs some TLC. On a lighter note, we love the house. It's beautiful and in a wonderful location. But it is getting older and needs some major renovations to make your customers feel comfortable and cared for. Thank you for the stay and all the good you have done. Kevin Ballew Men's Ministry Director

Needs work

The property has a lot of potential, but needs some work. 1. The shelf in the kitchen came off the wall in the middle of the night. You can tell the shelf was not secured properly because the screws in the wall were smaller than the holes and were not anchored. 2. The legs on one of the tables into kitchen is cracked and broken. It has been zipped tied together by about 10 zip ties. The table is unstable and unsafe. It should be replaced. 3. The coffee table in the basement has a nail sticking out about 3 inches. This is a serious safety concern. 4. The fans in the basement rooms do not work. 5. The wifi is basically unusable when you book the home for its intended capacity, which makes the theatre room obsolete unless you bring downloaded content that does not need to stream. 6. The property owners only supplied a mini bar of soap and mini container of shampoo for each of the six bathrooms, even though it touts that it can accommodate 30 people. 7. Coaches and futons were stained and not clean. 8. When we arrived there were dirty dishes. We pulled out a pan and found someone else's cooked eggs on it. 9. The projector is held together by duck tape and is partially broken. When it displays an image there is significant discoloration in the center of the projection. 10. Small kitchen. Positives - Lots of rooms. The bunk rooms contain a queen and the bunk bed consists of three full beds. Bouncy house was fun. Six bathrooms.

Vacation home review

Nice location, plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, AC, and hot water. We had a wonderful time. Bounce house was very popular. Biggest issue is the kitchen's design. While it is a large room, the placement of the island is to the counter / refrigerator is too close. Walking is congested and when the dishwasher door is open the aisle is completely blocked. This made meal preparation & service very difficult for a large group.

Decent house, great location

This house is large and well laid out so you don’t feel like you’re on top of each other. With that being said, we rented this house starting on a Wednesday (checking out on Sunday) and when we arrived there was no coffee maker as listed and seen in pictures we had looked at. I contacted Vacasa that day and they responded right away stating that they had contacted the local staff and I would be “contacted with feedback”. Needless to say, I never heard a word from anyone and we had to go get a coffee maker. I know it’s a small incident, but the fact that they said they would address it and I never heard a word was bothersome. The dishwasher is falling apart and is very hard to load/unload as the racks continually come off the tracks. Other than a few quirks, it has a nice location, plenty of parking, and a great view from the deck.

Great place for large families

We loved the size of the home! It amply accomodated our large family! The kids loved the bounce house, magnetic wall, & game room. The furnishings in the home however are in serious need of some upgrading. Broken couches and futons, dirty cusihions on chairs, dangerous sofa table in front of the family room couches. (Rusty hinges pinched our babies fingers and a loose rusty screw hanging down from it) The master bedroom had blood splatters on the top comforter and sheets. A door knob was off one of the bathrooms and also a towel hook was loose and feel off. Inspite of all this, if upgrades were made we would consider going back again!

Big and spacious BUT

We loved the amount of room on the interior for our large group size. BUT - a lot of the furniture was less than desirable and the beds are ALL terribly cheap/uncomfortable. Especially for the price paid. There is no yard/grass or real area for gathering outside. There is a basketball court farther down but it’s not comfortable in the hot summer months. Overall - a decent place but not worth the money paid. Would not be back to this particular house. Bear Lake area is AWESOME as always.

Good stay

We had a great time and the house fit our family. We wish that the communication was better about items not working in the home. But, luckily there were accommodations for them. One thing in particular was the golf simulator. The description says that there is one in the home, but it doesn’t mention that you have to pay a fee. Lastly, there needs to be a safer route down to the basketball court. It is loose gravel and rocks making it extremely unsafe for everyone. We enjoyed the house and would book again. Other than that, the house was very clean, the area was well kept and it was stocked with everything that we needed.

Family trip

Great home for large families with kids. Plenty of seating for meals so we could all eat at the same time. The kids loved the bouncy house, magnet board, hot tub and movie theater room. Lots of space so everyone could have privacy when needed and also enjoy being together in the common living spaces. This home had most everything we needed. The beds were a little firm/hard for our taste, but we were usually so tired it didn't matter too much. With 10 kids 12 and under the double washer and dryer was much appreciated and well used during our week long stay. No one wanted to leave, the kids asked if we could make this our new home. Thanks for the great accommodations!!! Would definitely rent again

Great family reunion spot!

Had 30+ people (adults and kids) for a family reunion here. Everything was great! Enough fun for everyone including bounce house, pickle ball, theater room, pool table, Xbox, hot tub, and TVs (with rokus) galore. There was also a wall in the basement with a metal sheet on it with magnetic marble tracks that the kids loved. Found a few marbles but you may want to bring your own. We brought our own toys for toddlers to play with which was good. It's 20 minutes from Rendezvous Beach which was great. Also the Bridgerland adventure park was very close by. There were enough griddles, pots/pans, and utensils to make what we needed. Loved the views of the lake. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay

Our family of 29 had a great time. The property was clean and pleasant. every thing worked fine. The kids had a great time playing with the toys, the bounce house, the game room, and the theater room. We did run out of toilet paper and had to go buy some more. The property has six bath rooms but four of them are only accessed through a bedroom - which makes it difficult when the bedroom is being used.
