The best getaway!

We stayed here for Fall Break and absolutely loved Mark's property. It was in the perfect location, off the beaten path but the Bear Lake community offered several close to home amenities and very convenient hiking trails. The cabin was very well-appointed, comfortable and Mark's communication leading up to our stay was outstanding. We plan on coming back for future getaways!

Fantastic Mountain Getaway

The house is located near the entrance of the Bear Lake Reserve (private) community, which makes its great for day trips in the mountains. The house is clean, spacious and comfortable. We loved the covered porch and enchanting forest that surrounds the cottage!
