    Our family had such an amazing time! Everything at this home was perfect. The lake, the deck, the flowers, the beautiful kitchen and living room. It was difficult to have to leave after only a couple days. The host was extremely nice and communicative and we could not have asked for a better vacation. Cannot say enough about this property. Thank you so much, fantastic home and host!

    We've made several vacation trips up to Bear Lake, it's a family favorite. And this house is a fantastic place to stay. It's in a great location on the lake, the house is comfortable, the dock is right there, there's a nice fire pit for cool summer nights, and it easily accommodated 7 adults and one infant. Highly recommended.

    My family of five had a great time staying at this cottage; it was the best stocked vrbo we've ever stayed at and was immaculate. Fire wood was provided for the fire pit, it has a nice sandy bottom lake area around the dock, lots of deck area and outdoor tables & seating area. Comfortable interior with lots of kitchen supplies, games & books. Lake and neighborhood were quiet.

    The property was perfect for our weekend stay in Bear lake. The outdoor grill and fire pit were perfect for our group. Check in and check out process were seamless and the owners were very helpful.

    The positives: The property manager communicated well and the lake is beautiful with a sandy bottom. The outside deck is large. The house is stocked with towels, spices, etc. The negatives: The house is very outdated, minus the bedroom/partial bathroom redone/painted on first floor. The furniture in living room is old and musty/mismatched and very outdated curtains, etc. The fireplace was all dusty and old. The house, in my opinion, smelled musty. The silverware is ancient and tarnished. We felt it was needed to be stainless steel and purchased plastic wear. The upper part has twisty stairs that is difficult, except for children. I'm not sure how they claim it to be 3 bedrooms. It is almost like a loft they divided with dividers, and only one has a door that shuts. The pictures are deceiving about size of rooms upstairs, and the queen bed room has a divider. The carpet and decor upstairs is very, very dated. They also left soap bars in all the showers/baths that had hair on them. We thought that was not sanitary and gross. It was 8/8 people's opinion that having old family photos, family books, and family diplomas, etc all over the walls is not appropriate when you are renting your property out. I've rented numerous houses and none have had anything like that. Most have an owners closet that they take their personal stuff out when they use the home and lock it back when they rent. I think the house has a lot of potential if they make some much needed updates.
