Family Reunion

Great location on the lake, view, beach front, boat dock. Fourth of July was a blast, water balloon tossed and squirt gun fights on the dock with the boaters, and evening fireworks displays were especially great.

Family Memories

What a great place, right on the water, to spend a family vacation. We had grandkids ages 2-14 and all had a blast. Great fishing on the lake too. 12 of us were comfortable in this spacious house. This exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!!

Great location...rugged parking.

Great location on the water! We had trailered a camper under the impression we could easily park it at the property. Parking was a bit more challenging then we had anticipated! Sandy was very friendly and definitely takes pride in her property!

I enjoyed meeting and having you all as guests. I apologize. I misunderstood the definition of camper, but was thrilled that we were able to fit your Father's 22 ft. trailer in our parking area. I hope he enjoyed his birthday visit.

A beautiful home on a beautiful lake

The home was well kept and comfortable. There was plenty of bed space for the 9 people we had there. The majority of the beds are in an open loft then the other two beds are in two bed rooms. This worked fine since we were one family, but might be a bit awkward for more than two couples. There is only one shower and one bath tub, and the water heater is very old and inadequate. This led to long waits and mostly cold showers. The lake is very beautiful and was great fun. The water was warmer than we thought it would be, and was quite pleasant for boating and swimming. We were a bit disappointed that there was no paddle boat as was in the description. I think that with the replacement of the paddle boat and a new water heater, this would be nearly perfect.

Thanks for the nice review. We enjoyed having you as our guests. I apologize about the hot water tank. When we came over to look at it, we found it had been turned on to vacation mode (which reduces the heat to half) and the temperature had been turned up as high as it would go. I hope after we got it properly adjusted you had enough hot water. Thanks again.

Our group was 9 people including 3 adults and 6 kids. The house worked well for our group. The beach access and the dock were great! It was really nice to have access to canoes and kayaks. Sandy, the owner, was very involved. She clearly loves the place and wants everyone to truly enjoy their time. This property is very near Silverwood and makes a great, peaceful spot to retreat to after a day at the amusement park. We did two days at the amusement park with a lake day in between. It was a lot of fun. We hope to stay at this location again in the future. If this looks like your type of place, I would highly recommend giving it a shot. We thoroughly enjoyed our time.

Great family time!!

The home was open and bright with a well stocked kitchen. It does sleep 12 but there are two queen 2 twin and a double bed all located in the loft…We are a congenial family so didn’t mind sharing one great big room. Loft also has a view of the lake The room where the hide a bed was had no curtains on the French doors and the outside stairway was in the middle of construction. Otherwise it was a great place to stay… Great beach!

Family vacation

We stayed here with 4 adults and 5 kids on the 5 hottest days of the year. The kids loved having the loft all to themselves and appreciated the A/C unit and fans. The other two bedrooms are also nice and stayed cool during the hottest days (108° one day!!) The kids range in age from 12-9 and spent hours in the lake and learning to paddle the canoe. On the last day our youngest FINALLY got the courage to jump off the dock! So many memories were made. We spent three days at Silverwood Theme Park which is only an 18 minute drive from the house. There is a great grocery store and gas station a few miles from the house and we loved getting to know the area. My husband and I took a nice long sunset paddle in the canoe along the lakeshore and it was absolutely wonderful. I definitely recommend renting this house. It’s quirky and full of character and absolutely cozy.

The house was beautiful. There were plenty of linens and cooking supplies. Would definitely rent ag

There were 4 adults and 5 children. The beds were very comfortable. The owner met us at the house and showed us around. Sitting on the deck with my morning coffee watching the bird s was a nice way to start the day. The lake was very clean and the beach was very safe for the little ones. If you rent this property you won’t be disappointed

Holiday Weekend at Twin Lakes

Fun was had by all. We loved the having our own dock to enjoy hanging out on it, swimming, canoeing, kayaking & fishing. Our private fire pit was very nice as well. Loved the open dining room and living room to visit with all and also the having our own grill was great! Sandy was a great host. The only thing I would change is upgrading your mattresses to newer ones that are more comfortable in the two rooms.

About the host

Hosted by Sandy

Host profile image
A bit of history about Twin Lakes Bear Lodge:
The structure was built in the 1970s as a residence. The owners lived out their lives in comfort and happiness, surrounded by loved ones, until one fateful day when the Mrs. of the house passed due to health complications. Her husband, stricken by grief, rapidly fell victim to dementia and was no longer able to live on his own, placing a huge financial burden on his family. Wanting only the best care for their father, the children are now renting out their parents very home and now wish to invite you to share the majesty and tranquility that this home has held for years.


Why they chose this property

For years different pieces of lake property were scouted out, looking for the perfect place to build a home. All the items that had been accumulated for years in the garage and basement, were added in this home during the many years it took to build. Many objects from our parents travels are seen throughout the house also, as you step from the 'Mexican room' into the 'Butterfly room' or in front of the river rock fireplace with it's unique mantel, which was brought from Montana, and where each rock was hand selected from a friend's backyard and placed in the fireplace along with coins from different countries. Surrounded by knotty cedar, throughout the house, gives a special feeling of a cabin and a home. Sitting in front of a warm fireplace, being out on the deck watching the lake or the stars or just hanging out in front of the campfire on your own private beach will bring enjoyment and memories that will carry with you forever.

What makes this property unique

The View, The Bears, The Sun, The Beach, The Decks,
The Wildlife, The Local Attractions, The Comforts!
They Are All Here To Enjoy.
