Amazing experience

This was our first trip to Bear Lake. The Modern Bear was such a pleasure for my family. There were 23 of us ranging in age from 9 to 71 and we had a blast. Our hostess Danielle was amazing in every way and answered any question we had within minutes. She was amazing and the whole experience was fantastic. The home was huge. The hot tub and swimming pool were a big hit with all ages in our group. This is the place we will stay for all future trips to Bear Lake!!!

It was so cool!

It was cool in two ways! First that the house was awesome and met our needs as a family of 42. Bring your own pillows but beds are comfortable. The only disappointment was the pool temperature was cold even after sitting for 6-8 hours covered. Grandma’s turn lasted 5 minutes. She was so disappointed. And she fell in not knowing that step didn’t go to the c

Christmas family Reunion

My children and grandchildren gathered from Utah, Idaho, Washington and North Carolina to celebrate the holidays. We went skiing at Beaver, had a great time sledding and tubing right by the house! After both of theses activities, the Hot tub was well used. The littles loved the “ball pit” and the toy corner. Especially the Barbie House and the Train set! The Great room, kitchen, pantry and dining area was well designed to accommodate our meal prep, and dining. Along with games and puzzles and of course, watching lots of football games and movies. Everyone enjoyed their private rooms and baths, and the kids loved their “cousin time” in the bunk rooms. We would definitely recommend The Modern Bear for your family and friends gatherings!

Everything about this place was perfect!

Bother kids and adults loved this home. The ball pit and pool were amazing and kept the kids entertained for hours. The balcony with the perfect view was a perfect place for the adults to hang out. Short drive to the lake and restaurants.

Favorite house in Ten years!

A group of friends and family go up to Bear Lake every summer for a few days to escape and to celebrate our Birthdays. This was our Tenth year coming to Bear Lake and our absolute favorite house we have stayed at yet. It was clean and beautiful. Plenty of places to sleep and so many activities! We would definitely stay there again next year if it is available!

Bear Lake Family Reunion

This house is beautiful and very amenable for large groups. There is a deck that flows out from the living room with two large tables and chairs for eating and games as well as outdoor furniture that has an incredible view of the valley and lake. There are also large eating areas inside. The kitchen is well equipped, clean and new (the whole house is new). Downstairs there is a toy cubby but the real surprise was the ball pit. It kept kids enthralled for hours! The home is located in a beautiful valley and convenient to town. We would definitely go back again. We had a wonderful time.
