This property was great for our family reunion with young kids and teenagers. It was a great location to amenities close by. The house reached out to us before we came so share information and make sure we had all the information we needed. The only complaint was that some of the beds were hard but we recognize that is also personal preference. We highly recommend this property!

We got the family together for a reunion over the 4th of July. The property was close to everything.

We loved sitting around the fire pit in the evenings. There are plenty of spaces to gather inside also. The property is conveniently located and close to everything in Garden City. The host RJ is very responsive and added to a great week.

Great place for a family reunion!

This house was exactly what we needed! Our large group comfortably fit in all the rooms and the kitchen was perfect for meals/games/hang out area. There was also plenty of room to park our cars and one RV. RJ was very quick to respond to texts/calls and easy to work with when some minor problems came up. Our only complaint is the beds were a little hard. I would highly recommend booking this house if you are looking for a relaxing stay, lots of space and a gracious host.

Loved it!

We brought our 3 kids' families, and thete was plenty of space for 8 adults and 11 kids under 13. With 2 fridges and ice makers, large pantry, and 4 picnic tables we ate comfortably. We borrowed a couple small kayaks for the beach and enjoyed them. I may not have read carefully enough to see that air conditioning was only in certain rooms, not central, but we made it work with large fans p

Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jul, 2022
Our air conditioning units came after months of delays. It was a week before the season started so they won't be in until fall. The temperature is manageable if you put the existing units on full blast and keep the blinds drawn while everyone is at the beach. We'll be happy to have every bedroom properly equipped!

Perfect House for a Large Group!

This house is new to rental market and didn't have any reviews so I was nervous about booking it but I am glad I did! We have been renting houses at Bear Lake for our family reunion for over 10 years and this house has the best gathering space of any house we've stayed at. The living room is huge (with a great view of the lake!) and has a fabulous couch that easily seats 20 people. It was the perfect place to hang out, talk, play games or watch a movie. And there is a second family room in the basement with another great sectional for the kids or adults who want a break from the group. The kitchen is super well equipped and it was incredible to have enough table space to seat our entire group - this is the first house we've stayed in that truly had that. The beds were super comfortable and the bedding was all clean and cozy. The kids loved the bunk room and we all loved being able to walk down the hill and get right on the walking path. We will be back next year!

Family Reunion success!

Owner called me a couple days ahead to make sure any questions were answered. Kind neighbors, great location close to the lake. Well labeled, fully stocked kitchen, with adequate dining seating for the group of 29. We cooked in every meal. Double oven and second refrigerator were very handy for our large group. The board games, large couches, and TVs were a pleasant surprise. We enjoyed the fire pit on two evenings. Lots of bath towels to help us clean up after a day at the lake. Some of our party were upset that the water heater is not equipped to handle showers for the whole group, and we could not locate a First Aid kit. The electrical never went out, but it flickered quite a bit. When the dryer started, the main level bath completely went out for a couple seconds. Only three private bedrooms, but we made it work. So many bunk beds! All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Jillian, Thanks again for staying! We found out that the electrical issue was something not inside the home. Rocky Mountain Power fixed the problem but appreciate you letting us know about it!

This spacious home has a beautiful view of Bear Lake! The home is nicely decorated with a large kitchen that accommodated our big group quite nicely. The main floor TV room couch is epic and holds at least a dozen people and includes lots of fluffy blankets for snuggling during a movie. The gas firepit was a great surprise as there were fire restrictions for ash producing fires, so we were still able to do s'mores! Yay! The bunk bed situation was perfect for all the cousins to stake a spot. The second TV room was great for when the littles preferred a more kid friendly video while the adults and teens watched Project Hail Mary. There was plenty of parking for our big group, too. The host was super helpful at communicating details about checkin, questions we had about a couple of things, and willing to go the extra mile if we needed something. There are three floors with a lot of stairs. The main floor can be accessed through the back door which doesn't require negotiating any stairs, which is super helpful for bringing in luggage and supplies or if someone has mobility issues. It's walking distance to the city park which has so many great amenities such as afishing pond, clean playground, and pickleball courts.

Absolutely AMAZING stay! We couldn’t have been happier with this Vrbo. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us multiple times throughout our stay, and every time I had a question, they responded within seconds. That level of communication made everything so easy and stress-free.The home was even better than we expected. It was much bigger and nicer than the photos made it look! We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious everything was. There were plenty of beds, bedrooms, and bathrooms to comfortably accommodate our entire group without ever feeling crowded.If you’re considering booking this place, don’t hesitate. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, spacious, well-managed home with exceptional hosts. Thank you for making our trip so enjoyable!

We had 25-30 people stay for girls camp. Great experience. Host was very proactive with communication. Place was comfortable and clean and didn’t smell weird (some places smell like they’ve been drenched with chemicals or smell old- this one was nice and neutral smell). A couple adults in the group said they want to look into coming back with their own families.

About the host

Hosted by RJ Buchmiller

Host profile image
We love Bear Lake! We have been coming up here since we were born. Of course we didn't know each other back then but now we are happy to have a place to share with our family and you.

Why they chose this property

1. VIEWS. There are gorgeous views of the lake from all the windows and patios on the south, east and north sides of the house.
2. LOCATION. The house is just a couple blocks from the walking/biking path that runs through Garden City. It is an easy walk/bike ride to town for shakes or to the public beach access at the city park. Also walk down to the city pond and try to catch a few fish!
3. ROOMS. With 5 bedrooms and two bunk rooms, there are plenty of rooms for smaller family groups to have their own rooms and the loft is great place for the kids to hang out and sleep.
4. WELL APPOINTED. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a large group needs. The furniture, bedding and towels are all new.
