We have stayed in a number of properties and locations within BLR over the last 5 years, and this one is absolutely the best! With small children, being walking distance from the lake club and ON the beach was a game changer for us. The house is very well equipped, there was nothing we noted was missing. We hope to stay here again in the future!

We’ve visited Bear Lake for the past 5 years and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed! Beautiful home, beautiful views, we had everything we needed! It’s amazing that the kids can walk to the lake house, pool and marina from the house. Being on the lake took our vacation to the next level and this will be the place we stay every time we visit from now on! Beds comfy Kitchen appointed Location/layout perfection

Best Location on the Lake

We had an incredible stay at this lake house! The location couldn’t have been better—right on the water and just a short walk to the clubhouse. The views were stunning, and we loved how peaceful and tranquil everything felt. The house itself was the perfect size for our group of 4–6 people, with plenty of space to relax and unwind. Everything was clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable (Wife would have loved all the throw pillows but this was a father son get away. Whether we were enjoying coffee on the deck or taking a hike to the waterfall, every moment was relaxing and memorable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene Bear Lake escape!
