Walk to the Lake Amazing 5 Bedrm - VH#343 by Bear Valley Vacation Rentals

There was ample space for each of us to have our own room and several of us had our own bathroom. We had family members ranging from young adult to 88 years old and everyone felt comfortable in the house. The home was clean, spacious, cozy, comfortable, and very well-stocked with everything we needed. It was a huge added bonus that we could bring our dog and the house was dog-friendly. The kitchen was filled with all we needed for cooking and dining, and we also took advantage of the BBQ outdoors. We enjoyed sitting at the dining room table for meals and also spending time in the outdoor space with beautiful views of the forest. There was something for everyone in the home including tv and some movies, many games, books, puzzles, and more. The spacious layout worked well for our family, so some of us could sleep in, while others were cooking or in the living room and the sound didn't travel. The location of the house was ideal. We were a few minutes from Bear Lake and an easy drive to Alpine Lake where we kayaked, paddle boarded, swam, and enjoyed the beaches. We also drove to beautiful hikes, some with water falls and water holes. The staff at Bear Valley Vacation Rentals were very helpful and we appreciated their responsiveness and communication. We would highly recommend this home and definitely want to stay there again In the summer and winter!

Sitting out on the grand deck, looking at the trees and listening to the birds is such a wonderful experience. The kitchen is large enough for four or more people to work at one time, and has all the accoutrements needed to prepare meals. Nestled in the forest, it is the ideal home for large groups or families. Nearly every bedroom has its own bathroom, and the large play room downstairs is perfect for games and TV watching. Being there was so peaceful and so close to nature. Hope I can return often.

First time in Bear Valley, what an amazing location! I was a little worried about the logistics, since you have to bring everything to the cabin by Snowmobile. We have timbersled snow bike kits on our dirt bikes but no trailer so it really couldn’t transport items or additional passengers. They had a shuttle service though and was able to help us get to the cabin even after office hours when we had to deal with a flat tire on our truck on the way. The management was very nice and helpful. The cabin was perfect for a couple of families to stay together, there were only 5 of us and we didn’t use many of the rooms. I was glad I packed water because the faucet water was not drinkable. It was very dirty at first but I did notice that as we ran it more it started coming out much cleaner. The cabin was almost completely encased in snow, we could only see out of the top windows. They had shoveled an entrance down to the door to get inside so we felt like we were sleeping in a furnished ice cave! Lots of games and things to do, we extended our stay from our original booking and wished we could have stayed longer. The kids played and tubed right out the front door. We snow biked and snowboarded right outside the cabin as well. The location was peaceful and quiet. We actually lost phone connection one night. We never were able to get the internet to work for us. It was nice to be disconnected from everything though. Only complaint is that there was no working tv. Lots of dvds but no cords connecting the dvd player. I found cords in another cabinet and we finally got one working but it only played in black and white so that was a bummer. It was an adventure though and we loved it!
