About the host
Hosted by Keith and Marianne Willes
We have been bringing our family to Bear Lake since our children were very small. We have an entire photo album filled with memories over the years. Keith grew up in Minnesota and Marianne in Utah. We met in college and now have 3 boys, 3 daughter-in-laws, 2 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. Bear Lake has been our get-away destination of choice with our extended families and our own family for the last 15 years. The lake is special. The surrounding canyons are peaceful. The best thing about Bear Lake is that it brings families together. We are 3rd year VRBO hosts and are proud to offer "The Moose" as our first vacation rental property. We look forward to exceeding your expectations as hosts and with this property.
Why they chose this property
The Reserve neighborhood is the premier area of Bear Lake. The Moose is situated near the top of Reserve Drive with stunning views of the lake.
