Couldn't have been better

Staying at the Moose was such a positive experience. There were so many fun things to do. Our grandchildren loved the inside basketball court and theater room. The picket ball in the driveway was also a lot of fun for the adults. We enjoyed the beautiful deck. We had a wonderful time together in a lovely and accommodating place.

The best family gathering place at bear lake

Amazing Bear Lake cabin

Absolutely beautiful and fun cabin. We had our family reunion at this cabin and it was wonderful. We had 26 people with ages between 18 months to adults. Our kids had a blast and had so many things to do especially when we had one rainy day. The theatre was great a long with the indoor gym. Communication with owners was excellent and very prompt. We would love to stay here again.

We loved our stay at "The Moose!"

"The Moose" was the perfect location for our family reunion! The view was beautiful! Most of the bedrooms have their own bathroom which was so nice for couples to have their own space. The beds were comfortable. The younger kids loved the playroom while the older kids loved the theatre room and indoor basketball court. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck in the evenings. There was plenty of parking for several cars, easy to get in and out of. Our hosts were wonderful & easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Beautiful Home With Spectacular Views

The place is very well appointed, with top of the line kitchen appliances, a super and large media room, an indoor basketball half-court, large decks for eating or relaxing, and so many amenities. We had a family group of 26 and never felt overcrowded. The owner even had a small welcoming gift, which our teenagers immediately devoured. Large driveway, indoor garages filled with table tennis, foosball, basketball shoot, cornhole and more. Community pools. Would love to stay there again!

Family Reunion at Bear Lake

This beautiful vacation home exceeded our expectations on every level. It is surrounded by spectacular scenery and views, and is the perfect retreat. The beautiful and well stocked kitchen made cooking for our large family a pleasure. The only challenge the kids had was finding enough time to enjoy every game and activity that was available for them-- corn hole, basketball, home theatre, fooseball,ping pong, swimming, hiking, pickleball, biking and that's just what's available at the house and in the gated community. Garden City also offered lots of fun activities from great eating, rodeo to a musical theater that was exceptional. Keith and Marianne were thoughtful hosts who communicated with us and made everything easy and a great pleasure. I can't recommend staying at The Moose highly eough!

Our stay at the Moose was exceptional. Everyone in our group, ranging in age from 2 to 82, had an enjoyable time. There were activities available for all from pickleball (which was the favorite), to movies in the Theatre Room, basketball, giant Connect Four, ping pong, foosball, cornhole, puzzles, rocks for climbing, toys for the little ones and the community pools. We never heard “I’m bored” from anyone. The girl cousins had fun sleeping in the bunk bedroom all together. All the adult couples enjoyed their own bedroom (four with King size beds and adjacent bathrooms). The kitchen provided everything we need. The extra refrigerator, in the garage, came in handy for our group of 24. There was ample room for everyone to sit to eat at tables utilizing the kitchen table and chairs, as well as the picnic tables, and patio tables and chairs on the deck. The view of the lake was beautiful. The comment was made, “What is Aunt Carol going to book next year to top this place?”

The Place for Family Memories

If you are interested in having a large family gathering, The Moose is the property for you. We celebrated my in-law's 50th anniversary here with a range of kids and adults. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us, and there were so many things to do. The kids did not turn on a TV once, but we did take advantage of the movie theater room. Between the activities at the house, the pool and amenities in the HOA, and the lake, I did not hear one kid say they were bored the entire time. I think the only thing I wish we had done differently was plan for a longer trip. The owners were great at communicating before and during the stay. They answered questions promptly and resolved any concerns. We are already planning our return trip next year.

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about The Moose at Bear Lake is that it brings families together. You won't find a cleaner property than The Moose. We always try to provide our guests with additions that make your time away from home comfortable. You'll love the extra pillows, shampoo/conditioner/blowdryers, and play areas for the littles and the teenagers. We think our amenities rival those of all other properties at Bear Lake.
