Wonderful place to host a family reunion with plenty of rooms for our group. We loved having the large outdoor space and firepit; we were out there every evening! It was also so nice to have kayaks and paddle boards to use at the beach. Fantastic house that we’d love to stay in again!

The property was wonderful! The house was tidy, spacious, and the prefect space for our family reunion. It is close to the beach and easy to access. We missed the swings on the back porch that are in the photos, but this is a spot we would love to go to again.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay! We added a staircase from the deck to lower yard (previously only accessible from in the house) and the new deck configuration meant we had to remove the swings. We miss them too!

Our family (ages 3 to 84!) had a wonderful stay at Myrtle's Beach House. Finding a home that comfortably accommodates a large group isn't easy, but this one was perfect. Everyone had room to spread out, yet there were great spaces to gather for cards, board games, movies, meals, and conversation.The location was wonderful. Even in a neighborhood, it felt secluded, and the lake views from the deck were beautiful. Morning coffee overlooking the water instantly became a favorite.One standout was the kitchen. Everything was labeled! It may seem like a small detail, but with a large family cooking together, it made meal prep and cleanup nearly effortless. The large kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes, cookware, and pantry space. The double oven was also convenient!The big yard gave the kids room to play while the adults relaxed nearby. We made great use of the hot tub, volleyball net, kayaks, and paddle boards.This home is well designed for large groups. The roomy bedrooms, loft, and multiple family rooms gave everyone a comfortable place to sleep as well as gather. We especially loved the pull-out trundle beds. They gave space for the younger cousins to have their own "sleepovers" while still having beds of their own.Instructions for check-in & out were clear and easy.After renting places for our annual family vacation the last few years, this one is at the top of our list. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home; we would love to stay here again!

We loved staying here for our large family gathering. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of rooms and space for everyone to spread out. We loved the large tables on the deck for playing games and eating dinner together. The kids loved the playground area and running around the large yard. Great home and close to everything. Dana was great at communicating things to us also.

There were 26 in our party. Half kids. Plenty of room and beds. We were 5 minutes from the city park that had a boardwalk to the beach. We made good use of the kyaks and paddle boards, which were in good shape. 5 minutes in the other direction was pickleville playhouse. We bought tickets well in advance and enjoyed the show. 40 minute drive from Minetonka cave.There's a very good grocery store, Mike's, just north of the 89 junction.I was surprised but the big hit with the kids was the badminton net and rackets.Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans for cooking. Plenty of eating utensils. There was plenty of fridge/freezer space. There was also a large pantry for nonperishable food.Be advised that if you use the grill or the outdoor propane fireplace, you are expected to refill the propane tanks at your cost before you leave - kinda disappointing.We have pioneer family heritage and enjoyed visiting the Paris and St. Charles cemeteries as well as the new lds temple in Montpelier.We had a great time.

We had a wonderful time! The kids and adults all loved the variety of entertainment options...badminton, ping pong, playset, video games, movies and lots of space to run and play. Having gathering areas upstairs, downstairs and outside allowed us to have different kinds of activities in different areas. We enjoyed a talent show around the barbecue pot, stories on the main floor and more upbeat family time in the basement. As organizer, I was especially grateful for 2 fridges, lots of pantry space and even a small fridge that we dedicated to anytime snacks. The cousins had a great time sleeping together in the loft area and we had enough bedrooms that each family could escape to their own space when needed. Beautiful home and area!

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It had all you needed in the kitchen for a large family. The extras in the garage were appreciated as the kids use them most every day. The large lawn, the swingset and fire pit all were enjoyable. We had a wonderful time during our stay. Thank you so much.

BEST large group VRBO in Garden City

This home is the PERFECT location for a large family gathering at Bear Lake. The house was very comfortable and clean and has plenty of room. Plus they have sporting equipment (kayaks, bicycles, badminton court and rackets. We enjoyed the outdoor fire-it for evening relaxing and the kids made s'mores. The owner, Dana, was communicative and accommodating. Highly recommend.

Family Reunion

The property offered a great location, close to beaches and restaurants. Rendezvous Beach was the family favorite just 12 minute drive from the house. Best part was a large deck, patio, and yard that kept the young ones outside and having old fashion fun instead of in the house watching TV and playing video games. Even the parents put their phones down for long periods of time. Great time!

Wonderful Family Gathering

Our family loves to come to the Bear Lake area and enjoys the activities available. We enjoyed our stay in this house very much. It was comfortable, clean, and roomy enough for all of us. The extras, such as the playground swings and slide, the badminton/volleyball net, and the ping pong table, were all enjoyed. We only had one issue with the cabin. None of us could figure out how to get in the front door because the code didn't work or something else was an issue because though we tried many times, we could never open the front door. Fortunately, we were able to enter through the garage door which opened using the code given. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get in the house. It was a great experience overall and we would rent this place again if we come back here.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Myrtle’s Beach immensely. The accomodations were perfect for our family size of 25 having 6 rooms for couples as well as 2 rooms for the grandsons and granddaughters to all be together. The girls loved the cute loft room although it was quite warm during the day even with the trundle bed pulled to free the covered air vents. It would have been nicer if both the windows could have been opened in the evenings to cool the cool the room down. (Only one window could be partially opened due to locks on one and no screen on the other.) Fortunately the backyard was so wonderful that much of the time the kids were outside anyway

Fun Family Getaway

We enjoyed gathering our children and grandchildren and having enough space and bedding for all of us to stay at this house. It was clean, comfortable, and close to town and the marina. Our family really enjoyed the fun backyard with all the activities it offered, and the fire pit was enjoyed as well! Great hosts answered all of our questions quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house and location!

The house is the perfect size for our group of 22. The kids enjoyed all the amenities it had to offer and the parents were grateful for that! The bikes and playstation were a hit. The listing says it can fit 39 but in my opinion 20 to 25 people is the perfect amount. The kitchen and counterspace was a bit small for preparing for such a large group but we made it work. The pantry was great for keeping everything off the counter. Great house and great location!
