WHY CHOOSE THIS HOUSE? For us, it was love at first sight, captivated by the stunning layered views from every room (we counted 11 layers one evening), ensuring that our friends would enjoy their own « room with a view » and averting too certain conflicts among our five kids when it comes to picking the best room! So come, unpack and surrender to the beauty around you.

However, certain activities like golf, tennis, and boat rentals may incur additional costs. See Bear Lake Reserve Website for further information and/or send me a message.

Amazing views & beautiful home!
This home is stellar in every way! It is large and spacious to accommodate a crowd, the views are spectacular, and the host has gone above and beyond in providing for their guests. Firewood for the wood-burning fireplace, multiple types of coffee to suit everyone’s taste, Comfortable seating inside and in all of the outdoor locations.. sadly, our daughter’s wedding was canceled due to the hurricane and we went there for a respite and everybody left feeling relax and recharged.

Perfect for our family vacay!
We go to Bear Lake every Labor Day and this has been our best stay yet! The home was perfect for our family to be able to spread out and not feel on top of each other (even when we were all in the same room), the view is spectacular, and our host was so lovely and quick with communication! We hope to return in the future!
