We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean, cozy, and exactly as expected from the listing. The host was incredibly accommodating and allowed us to check in a couple of hours early, which gave us that much more time to enjoy our stay and was greatly appreciated. Everything was comfortable and well kept, and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy Bear Lake Reserve. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!
