Annual Family Activity
There were three families with 8 children (2-15 years of age.). This place worked well for us. There were lots of thing for the younger kids to do and the older ones took care of themselves. The two patio's was an added plus. We had smores around the fire pit.was a fun activity. This was a very nice place to stay.

Great Home Away From Home Getaway!
This house has it it all! Along with practical space and comfort, they stock it up for entertainment too. We were all very pleased with our stay and have already talked about renting this house next year. We were bummed we couldn't have stayed longer, we loved it! It was a scramble trying to make check out time with multiple little kids, but we managed.

Wonderful home; nice layout and plenty of space
I've been staying in VRBO homes for the last 10 years and I have to say that this home was stocked better than any I've ever stayed at (waffle maker, electric frying pan, griddle, kitchen aid mixer, the list goes on). Plenty of dishes too. The large table and chairs was great for playing games. They had kayaks & a paddleboard for our use too, and we definitely used them several times. The home was very clean, and beautiful, we rented this home for our family reunion, members aged 1 yr to 84 yrs. Very kid friendly and plenty of toys, games available too. The owner was great about checking in to see if we needed anything. We are planning to return to this area in two years or so and we will be staying at this house again, absolutely loved it here. And the people in town were very warm and friendly.

Perfect!
I'd stay at this home again purely for the gorgeous views from the many windows. But there are lots of other reasons to stay! The home was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the linens were fresh, the kitchen was well-equipped, there was plenty of dining space, and the location was convenient for the beach and milkshakes. Also, there's a fantastic stock of games. We had three families staying there, a total of 13 people. There was plenty of space for us to spread out. Having four full bathrooms was so luxurious after a day at the lake. It was so nice to have kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, and beach chairs to use. (We packed so much less than we usually do on our annual trip to Bear Lake!) The owner was communicative and welcoming via text, even alerting us that early check-in was available. We truly hope to stay at "The Blue Lake House" (as may kids call it) again!

Spacious and very well equipped home!
This is a beautiful and spacious house. Lots of room for a large group. Large kitchen and eating area open to a family room. A second family room in the lower level. Two large decks to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen is well equipped with lots of dishes, cookware and appliances. Many extras such as kayaks, paddle boards, numerous adult and kid life jackets, beach wagon, beach chairs, and beach towels. My grandsons totally enjoyed the outdoor play set and the PS5. Adult and kid board games as well as magna tiles and wood blocks for the kids to build with when screen time is over. Grill and plenty propane if you want to grill. The owner checked in with me even before we left for our vacation. I have no doubt he would have addressed any problems if we had any. Absolutely no complaints. This is a wonderful place to stay!

Excellent Retreat
My daughter graduated from Utah State and we wanted a place to celebrate her. This was the perfect space. The furniture was beautiful. I loved all the windows and 2 balconies on both sides of the home. It was easy to keep track of my kids. The swing/playset was something you'd find at a park. The firepit was used for smores and there was plenty of seating. We had private access to Bear Lake at Ideal Beach Resort. Even though the minigolf and other things were closed, we enjoyed spending time at the beach. We forgot to strap on the kayaks and paddleboard that were in the garage to make it even more of a getaway. The host even provided enough life jackets to make it safe. My favorite part was when it was time for bed. After a long day of graduation, activities, etc. we laid down in pure comfort. In the past we usually stayed at Hilton/Hampton Inns, but I've never been so spoiled by a mattress than at this home. Thank you Jeremy, you were a great host and were quick to respond. We'll definitely stay here again.

Great home with great amenities.
Loved the home. Had everything we needed for an extended family vacation. The kitchen was very well stocked. The garage had all the lake toys you would need. Jeremy, the property owner was great with correspondence. We would definitely rent this home again.

A must stay at Bear Lake
We had an amazing time at this house! It is a beautiful, clean home with quality furnishings and large spaces for everyone to be together. Jeremy was so great to work with! There is so much to do at the house for all ages. Then you add on the access to a nearby beach club that has two pools, beach access and much more. This is a must stay if you are going to Bear Lake!

Absolutely The Best
We loved staying here! The floor plan is just wonderful with the open kitchen and living area being so nice and big it was so nice for everyone to be together all at the same time. The beds and furniture were so comfortable and everything was so nice and clean. The front and back decks were awesome to use and we really enjoyed using them. There was a lot of parking which made it great. The kitchen area was really stocked with everything you could think of to use. The owner is really good to communicate with and is very nice. You will love your experience.

A wonderful home
For my family, this home was perfect (8 adults and 8 kids, three families plus Grandma and Grandpa). Large open spaces for the kids to play. Bedrooms in a perfect configuration. Every family had their own bathroom. Smart TV’s in each bedroom and in the family areas. A kids playground set, and fire pit. My son said it best, “it was like coming home”. And my 4 year old grand daughter summed it up by starting to plan what to do next year on the drive home. My only issue is I wish we had more time.
