    This is the very best place to stay in Bear Lake Reserve. It is well appointed, clean, and comfortable. The host is attentive to our needs coming and going, every time. Lovely from start to finish.

    Wonderful condo inside a beautiful mountain resort community. It's a little off the beaten path but that makes it that much better. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again. Exactly what we needed to beat the Florida heat.

    Great place to stay for couples and young children! My wife and I and our 6-month-old stayed at the property with friends of ours and their 1-year-old. The condo has awesome views of the lake and it's just a 5 min walk down an easy trail to the Lake Club, with an indoor/outdoor restaurant, weekend coffee shop, and equipment rentals. The condo itself was very clean, driving and check-in instructions were very clear, and Darlene was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend for a relaxing mountain weekend!

    BLR is a beautiful property, and the condo was such a cozy retreat for our mother/som trip! Just enough space for us, and the condo was so clean and had beautiful views of the lake!

    Our stay was simply magical! The condo was perfectly accommodating. As soon as I walked in a sense of peace overcame me. It feels like you’re in a magical treehouse, surrounded by nature and beautiful views of the forest and lake. The organization was very impressive. They had everything we needed and more. The rooms were very spacious with nice furniture. The bedding was extremely comfortable, and I am usually very picky about that. The kitchen was well equipped with any appliance you might need. Everything was labeled, which was very helpful. We even met the upstairs neighbor who was very friendly and provided some information about the area. Communication with the host was wonderful. They provided all the information we need including directions and helpful tips. This is probably one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. The resort amenities were perfect for us. They had a beautiful pool and clubhouse with warm and friendly staff. there’s a restaurant on site which was very good and convenient. There’s even a short trail through the woods that you can take from the condo to the mountain house where the pool restaurant is. There are some nice hiking trails on site and you can even see a waterfall off in the distance from down the road.I can’t wait to come back! more.

    This property is in the perfect spot to enjoy a family vacation. Close proximity to lake club (walking distance on a short, well marked trail) and golf / tennis. Condo has a great view and is very clean and organized. Property manager is super helpful. The club and condo provides everything you need for an amazing trip. Highly recommend!

    This property is situated in a very convenient location - we love the easy access to the lake and the amenities. The view is very serene and we soaked in the misty mountain mornings every day before heading out for some lake fun. We adore everything about Bear Lake and will definitely be back. The hosts of this property were wonderful and clearly care about their guest satisfaction. Cozy, clean and comfortable. We'll be back!

    This property was superb! Very clean, organized and stocked. Perfectly located within a short (but intense) hike down the mountain to the Lake Club. Covered patio was perfect for those sporadic rains. Kitchen was fully stocked so it made cooking easy. This is essential since the nearest decent grocery store is at least 45 mins away. The roads getting around the area is full of intense turns and hills so recommend not coming at night! Cell service is almost nonexistent up there so prepare to be pleasantly disconnected when you are not on the wifi. Only thing we missed on this trip was a bear!
