Loved having the two kitchens - the upstairs kitchen was well-stocked and made meals easy to prepare. The bedroom configuration was perfect - and loved that there were plenty of bathrooms. There was plenty of space for gathering - and especially loved the sports court! Access to Ideal Beach Resort was so fun and made visiting Bear Lake easy. All in all - we had a wonderful time together! ##### Laurie B.

Not only was it beautiful and well decorated but it offered so many extras such as a second kitchen in the lower area that made it feel like the main floor and plenty of kitchen ware for cooking and dining. We loved playing pickleball in the sport court right out the front door and the avaliable equipment for activities at the beach was so helpful. Access to Ideal Beach was so amazing and we were able to rent jet ski's at a better rate then being on the main beachs. Great rooms and bathrooms with extra towels and blankets was so helpful not to mention the extra onsite parking. You thought of everything and the price was so reasonable it really made our stay special. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home, we highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Bear Lake! ##### Paley M.

The location was perfect. Not too far up the hill to get to the beach, but enough that the view was amazing from the deck.There is a new sports court out front that is not in the pictures. The little kids loved this and we loved the fact that it was all fenced in so they couldn't get on the road. Also, there are quite a few stairs between the two floors, so if you have trouble with stairs or any disabled people, that would be a problem. Loved the home decor. Ample beds. The house is stocked with just about everything you need, including beach toys and chairs in the garage. We had a problem with one of the appliances and the manager was super quick to respond. The only reason we gave cleanliness a four is that we did find wrappers and food left by the last occupants on the floor and stairs. Would definately rent this home again! ##### Tammy S.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bear Lake Hillside Retreat during a weekend get-a-away with our children and their families. The view of the lake from the deck was wonderful. We found the beds to be very comfortable. The rooms are spacious with gathering areas upstairs and downstairs. Having two refrigerators was very helpful! The sports court was a hit with our grandchildren. Having access to Ideal Beach was a very nice bonus. This is a wonderful house for a few people to a large group. Our extended family of 16 (ages 9 months to adulthood) never felt crowded and were all very comfortably accommodated. ##### Blair C.
