Welcome to The Lake View at Bear Lake! Come take a seat, enjoy the views and have some fun!

We have created this home with families in mind, where kids of all ages can play, adults can relax and memories can be made. We have stocked the home of activities for all seasons (activities below), whether it is hot or cold outside being bored will be a thing of the past (like maybe the drive on up) and the kiddos won’t want to leave. (Please do not leave children behind.)

Our goal is for friends and families to come together, unwind and truly be on vacation. With the flexibility of free early check-in whenever available and an easy checkout process (see check out instructions below for full transparency), we want our guests to come back for more.

We are owner operated and take pride in the experience of our guests. We are hands on often in-between stays to ensure our property is to our standards so your stay is impeccable. We believe in great communication so you have what you need when you need it and we hope our reviews speak for themselves. (That’s a nudge to check out our awesome reviews by our awesome guests!)

WOW, THIS SOUNDS FUN - SO WHAT IS THE CATCH?”

There is no catch, we strive to be pretty awesome! However, there are the things you will need to know-

SECURITY CAMERAS: For the safety of our guests and to maintain a safe environment, we have exterior security cameras with audio and video capabilities installed and active. This statement is required by this platform, we very much respect the privacy of our guests while in an active reservation. It also is critical to us to monitor the home throughout all seasons, specifically when the home is not occupied. Thus, we have four cameras installed. We have one camera facing the front of the home from the front door, one over the garage, one facing the rear driveway and one facing the north side of the lot. There are no cameras inside the home.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SUMMER HOME MAINTENANCE: We take pride in our landscaping and have a service come to the home once a week for maintenance. This will include mowing and anything else as needed. This typically is done within 30 minutes and will not be too early in the morning.

CLEANING FEE: 100% of our cleaning fee goes directly to our amazing cleaning crew who helps us keep the property to the highest standards. We are lucky to have them, they are pretty awesome!

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Upon booking we will ask for a $300.00 security deposit in form of a HOLD. We have not had to use this as our guests have been amazing! We don't cry over spilled milk, this is only if something significant happened such as a broken t.v or major appliances as an example. Deposit to be processed by host on guest's credit card. We understand things will be lost and broken, we don't sweat the small stuff. The security deposit is automatically released after 48 hours of departure.

OCCUPANCY: Maximum occupancy of 17 must be adhered to, this includes all ages in order to comply with our insurance. We welcome family reunions and get-togethers, but please no "parties" - loud music, excessive alcohol, etc. Sometimes you may want to have visitors outside of the guests on the reservation, if so please let us know in advance.

CHECK OUT INSTRUCTIONS -
We love to be transparent! Upon checkout, here is what we ask for:

1. Please dispose kitchen trash and any extra food in the garbage bins. (If your stay is over a Monday night, can we trouble you to pull the garbage cans to the street or bring them in.)
2. If you have time, we would greatly appreciate the grills (BBQ or Blackstone) to be burned\scraped off. We don't need this spotless, but it would greatly help our small cleaning crew move through the home quicker.
3. Please make sure that any amenities that use propane is off (outdoor deck heater & BBQ's).
4. Please make sure that all doors and windows are shut and locked up.
That is it, we take care of the rest!

HOUSE RULES - These guidelines help us maintain the integrity of the home so we can share it for years to come. In general, we ask that you treat the home with care!

1. Please do not wear shoes inside.
2. If you visit the beach, please wash off all sand prior to entering the home.
3. No smoking indoor or outdoors (vaping ok outdoors)
4. We often run our sprinklers in the early morning during the summer, please do not leave items on the lawn overnight.
5. Please use the counters and table space with care, specifically no hot containers or pots on counters or table tops. (Trivets are provided.)
6. All booking requirements below are met:

BOOKING REQUIREMENTS:
Unfortunately we are under strict insurance guidelines therefore a violation to any of the requirements listed below can cause your booking to be cancelled without refund.

Upon booking, you agree...
1. to sign a renters agreement, upload a copy of a valid government ID and submit a security deposit of $300.00 within 48 hours of booking. (See our Security Deposit Description above.). Deposit to be processed by host on guest's credit card.
2. that the individual booking must be present during stay.
3. to a maximum occupancy of 17 regardless of age.
4. that there will be no pets on premise and understand a $500.00 additional cleaning fee will be incurred.
5. that there will be no RV's brought on premise such as travel trailers, 5th wheels, etc. (We welcome trailers towing water crafts or snow crafts such as boats, jet skis, snowmobiles, etc.)

QUESTIONS?:
1. Do you allow tents on your lawn for camping?
Unfortunately not, this against community rules.

2. Do you allow RV Parking on your property? (5th Wheels, Travel Trailers, etc)
We do not allow RV's for sleeping/camping as this is against community rules.

3. Do you allow dogs that are hypoallergenic?
Unfortunately we are strictly a pet free zone. We are a dog family ourselves and know how difficult (and boring) it is to travel without our pets.

4. Do you ask guests to leave you a 5 star review or are they all legitimate reviews?
We have never once asked guests to leave a specific rating nor do we encourage a specific rating, we are just that cool and awesome.

5. Do you offer discounts?
No, but will do so for active or past military. Must be the person booking (or spouse) and provide a military ID.

6. How far are you from actually accessing the water?
As the crows flies we are approx 3/4th of a mile from the lake however the closest access to the water can be done at the Bear Lake Marina which is 4.5 miles away.

Thanks for considering The Lake View at Bear Lake for your next family vacation.
