This is our 4th year visiting Bear Lake and 2nd time staying in this home. The home was extremely comfortable and the view is fantastic.

We love staying here! The location, amenities, and view are amazing! This was our third time staying at this property, and we’re really sad that it’s unavailable for our annual trip to Bear Lake Reserve next August. But, we hope to be back in 2023!

Wonderful
Wonderful stay with stunning views in clean well furnished condo.
The amenities were a wonderful addition to the stay. We will be back! Thank you!
Great condo with fantastic views of the lake. Condo had everything that we needed and it’s conveniently located near the club house. The only FYI I will add is about the beds- they are all very firm. We will plan to return.

Thank you for your feedback, Kerry! We would be happy to host you again.
It was better than we expected. The location on the mountain was ideal. The view from the porch was breathtaking.
We had everything we needed and more in the kitchen. The unit was clean and well appointed. I can’t wait to come back.
The condo is clean, well equipped with an excellent view! A couple min drive from the lake club (we were hoping to walk there but given the roads in the area and 2 small children decided driving was safer). Location near the club made dining out, swimming, boat rental and beach time very turn key which is exactly what we were hoping for! We plan to return this time next year!

Great place to unwind
Awesome spot to unplug and unwind. Definitely visit downtown Sylva which is about 40 minutes away. Great breweries, stores and shopping.

This is our second year at Lakeside, and our third staying at Bear Lake Reserve—and we’ve already booked again for next year! We love Lakeside! It’s comfortable and perfect for a fun-filled week of swimming, boating, eating, and drinking! The view is amazing! The pool and lake are perfection. And, the restaraunts and bar are delicious and convenient! The menu changes from year to year, too—so it never gets old!

Thank you so much for your kind review! Please keep us in mind for your future travels!
Condo was great overall. Could stand to use some updating, especially the cooking utensils, pots/pans, etc. Very firm mattresses. But THE VIEW and proximity to the lake was what we came for and it did not disappoint. Lake Lodge: We’ve been to Bear Lake many times and always enjoyed the Lake Lodge. This time it seemed to be showing a lot of wear and tear. Garbage piled up, broken chairs and umbrella stands, and the staff were inexperienced. Food and drinks were sub par. Sad.

Best location on the lake! Easy access to the club and spectacular views! It's our 3rd time in the same unit and we can't wait to return. Lakeside at Bear Lake Reserve is a must for our family!

The condo is perfectly situated next to the lake house, and is a lovely home, however the 4.7 mile drive through the mountains is not for the faint of heart. It is black bear country so we were leary to hike and since it was spring the bumble bees were everywhere which was a bit unsettling on the balcony. Despite the bears, bees and insane road - it was a lovely stay.
