Hopefully helpful for other guests

The owner was great with communication and responsive. We knew that the place would be rustic but were still surprised. The kitchen was very small and not clean. The bathroom is also extremely small and the shower is elevated which makes it difficult for taller people to shower. Overall cleanliness was not great. The place does not have air conditioning (except for the room with bunk beds) and the weather was very hot for the first part of our stay and it was uncomfortable. The lake is a beautiful lake but we would not stay here again.

Lake was absolutely gorgeous and clean. We had a great time on the lake. John was a great host; provided us items that the kitchen didn't have. He was available anytime. Thanks John for a great vacation. We cannot wait to go back

Bear Lake Family Vacation

We had an excellent time staying at this property. We had 4 adults and 5 children and there was room for everyone. The kids especially enjoyed the dock and beach. Perfect swimming location. You really can't beat the location.

A week on the lake

John is the Best host we've come in contact with in a long time. He was there to greet us when we arrived and even offered to help us unload our truck. The house was old, but comfy. The beach was great and the water clean and clear. Dock was long enough to reach the deep water, so no worries. And the public launch is six houses away. Gas grill was available for use as well as a fire pit.

Beautiful Bear Lake

This property is wonderful for enjoying this beautiful lake. The sand beach is perfect and lots of lawn furniture and water toys are included. It was very nice to have a long dock and the public boat launch is close by which was very convenient. The cottage is close to the water so the view was spectacular.

Family Time

This property is right on the water so we could sit on the deck and watch the kids play. The area is absolutely beautiful. John is by far the best property owner we have ever rented from. He provided a very stress-free stay. Will definitely stay again.
