Our family enjoyed our stay here. We especially liked the variety of outdoor activities and space. This home is in a quiet neighborhood and has a beautiful view of the lake.
Overall cleanliness of the house was subpar for steep cleaning fee. Kitchen amenities such as pots and pans need an upgrade as some were unusable. However, the host interaction was very responsive and pleasant.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was good with a nice view of the lake. The kids especially enjoyed the outside area where there was plenty of room to play ball. We appreciated the abundance of sitting options in the house as well as by the fire pit. Highly recommend this home.
Very nice couple that offered these accommodations. Very knowledgeable of the area and provided us with advice on anything we asked. Very clean, just as described.
Our family enjoyed the property, Nice clean Bedrooms & Bathrooms.The grandkids loved the foam pit we could hardly pull them out to eat. Beautiful views from the deck, watched the sunrise over the lake, it was incredible.Seating eating, play games, visiting was plentiful and welll laid out. The hosts were very helpful and available.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome to come back any time.
The Westlake Escape is top notch and highly recommended! Great for large families with plenty of space and fun games to be played! The views are amazing. Very clean set up nicely for everyone to enjoy!
The only downside was that the cleaners never came and we were stuck washing all of our towels and bedding cleaning the kitchen. However I don't fully blame the host for this because that's not really their job is to clean. They were very accommodating and willing to compensate. The stay itself was amazing and we would definitely consider coming here again.
We did our annual family reunion here and it worked out really well. We had 39 people-24 adults and 15 kids under 10. Everyone had their own space. The house was well maintained and the views of the lake were gorgeous. It even had full RV hookups for one family that likes to bring their trailer to reunions. Overall it was a really good experience and we’d definitely come back!
We had a great time. The rental was great. We had a few questions and the owners were responsive. We would stay here again and I would recommend it to others.
We had a big youth group and we loved our stay! TaLonnie was great to work with. The house is beautiful, plenty of room for our large group, with great views of the lake. The game room, Basketball court, sand volleyball, and larg grassy area kept our group busy and entertained. I would love to stay there again.

Dalynn,
You and your group were wonderful to work with. I hope that you guys can come back another time.
This property fit our big family nicely. And the set up was very conducive to accommodating big family meals and games. It’s hard to find nice places with enough room for all the kids and grandkids and we loved our time together, Very convenient location for snow fun also.
We had one of our best family vacations!!!
The house was just perfect for us a 22 family group
Lots of space to hang out for everyone
Thanks for letting us enjoy this experience
This was cozy and comfortable enough for family and friends but large enough to allow everyone their space!! Views are incredible, grounds immaculate and very well appointed!!! Thanks for the strong communication and support for the wedding of their dreams!!
We loved the uncrowded spaces around us! The large yard had so much room for the grandkids to play. The house was spacious as well, with plenty of spaces to sleep. The master bedroom made my husband and I feel like the Queen and King of the family!
We loved everything about this property. It was good for cold weather AND warm weather. The view of the lake is lovely. All the family-friendly amenities made it fun for the adults AND the kids, with separate places for everyone to go and not feel like we were climbing all over each other.The kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we needed and more. The s'mores welcome basket was a fun surprise.Our recommendations would be 1) Check in with the cleaning crew. When we arrived for a November visit, there were still Halloween party decorations on the windows, stairs, banisters, and in some of the garbages, as well as confetti and little plastic spider rings consistently throughout the house. The carpet in the main floor living room also had hair that kept getting caught in our games and on our clothes; the carpet had not been vacuumed very thoroughly.2) Replace the grody, moldy shower curtain in the basement/laundry bathroom.3) Have more than 3 kitchen towels.Aside from these very small suggestions, we LOVED staying here and would absolutely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
Our stay was great the double oven definitely helped out for the Thanksgiving meal.
We had one issue with the lights in the game room the property manager was wonderful and had a repair person there that evening and fixed the issue , that definitely helped is the younger kids.
We had a large group of 19 kids and 12 adults and had the best time at this house! Great location to beaches, playhouse, Minnetonka cave etc, and so many fun things at the house that kept everyone busy for hours. My only complaint would be that the house is in need of a deep clean. The cleaners came before we arrived and you never would have known it, except that the beds were freshly made.

Lauren - I am glad you enjoyed the stay at our house. Pleas know that we will talk to the cleaners and have them do a more thorough job. Our goal is to have a clean welcoming house for our guests.
We as a family hadn't gotten together in over 10 years. We drove from California, Nebraska and Colorado to this absolutely amazing home. Over 8000 square feet of beauty with the most STUNNING views of Bear Lake. Plenty of room for 35 of us to enjoy each other's company and so many amazing fun opportunities near by. The owners are absolutely great, a phone call away for anything you needed. We had a beautiful time and I would absolutely recommend this VRBO. It is a bucket list item..Go, book today.

I am so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay. Thanks for visiting our home.
Many positives about this property for our group of 24: large grassy area, sand volleyball, lots of chairs for patio with fun fire pit, plenty of indoor dining space, well-supplied kitchen, fun game room, good grills, lots of parking, comfy couches. Needs improvement: dishwasher was broken, no dishtowels, very few paper towels, pillows were too thick and uncomfortable to sleep on, hot tub was overly chlorinated and there weren't enough windows to air it out. Labels for the cabinets would be helpful to know what is in each one, fridge doesn't make much ice and outside fridge needs cleaning.

Thank you for your kind words and suggestions for improvement. I am sorry for the inconvenience of the broken dishwasher, it has since been fixed and is now working. We have taken steps to ensure that the lack of supplies and outside fridge will be dealt with. Thank you again for choosing to stay at our home, and we hope you will come back and stay with us again.
We had such an enchanting and memorable time at this home. My family and I came with seven other friends from college and their families. There were 44 of us and we had a wonderful time reconnecting and making new memories. Took time away for a day at the beach (used the trailer of kayaks and paddleboards additional rental available) and a short nearby hike but spent most of our time enjoying time togetget at the property. Had fun playing games, eating, dancing, crafting and watching an outdoor movie on the nice lawn. Highly recommend this home for your next large gathering at Bear Lake!

I am so glad you had so much fun at our home. Thank you for your wonderful review and for staying.
With 23 people to accommodate for our family reunion this was the perfect place. Each of the five families had their own bedrooms, the 13 kids loved the bunk rooms and the playroom. Our nightly programs were held in the living room with plenty of space for everyone. It was easy to feed everyone with 3 large tables. The adults ate in the formal dinner and could actually visit without kids interrupting. Used the fire pit outside the last night because the weather was perfect for it. Couldn't have had a better reunion there.

Why they chose this property
We have enjoyed going to Bear Lake for lots many vacations prior to purchasing this home, so we decided to buy our dream vacation home there, and share it with you.
This property gets you away from downtown Garden City, with an amazing view of Bear Lake. Adults can relax and converse while teens and children discover the many options for self-entertainment options.
What makes this property unique
More parking here than almost any rental property in Bear Lake. This house was built to be a Parade of Homes winner. Plenty of space for large groups to spread out, and not feel cramped. Several groups of trees to bring hammocks and read books in the shade. Large lawn for large group activities.
