We love this house and the beautiful beach it offers its guests. I’ve been coming to Bear Lake since I was a child so to be able to bring my family back to enjoy it has been amazing. Janine is always a joy to talk to and she always makes us feel welcome. This was the second time staying here and we already booked for next summer!

Perfect family vacation home!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the house. It was perfect for our family of 6. The beach was beautiful and the house was well decorated, comfortable and clean. Janine was a joy to work with and we were able to extend our stay by an extra night! We are really looking forward to returning next summer! Thank you for sharing your Bear Lake beach house with us!
This property is amazing! My sister has a cabin 2 doors down so between the 2 places we had a lot of family. The beds were so comfortable, lots of toys for the kids and the best kitchen set up. Everyone is ready to go again next year!
Forgot to mention the wonderful beach area and terrific neighbors!
A wonderful snowmobile trip with friends. This owner was so thoughtful and had everything you would need to have a great time. Thank you so much. We are already planning a summer trip.
This was a wonderful cottage on the most gorgeous lake. Perfect for our three kids inside and out. Toys, games, water toys- it was all there waiting. Every last detail was thought of and provided, we absolutely loved our stay! Thank you so much for sharing your slice of heaven with us!
The place was perfect. Wonderful lake view. Everything was well thought out. If we needed anything just open a cabinet it was there. We will definitely recommend to our friends looking for a place to stay.

Lovely lake and cabin
We truly and enjoyed our second summer in a row at Bear Lake. Even with some rain most days, we still had more than enough time to enjoy kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. The property manager was very attentive and provided everything we asked for and needed! This is a great place to stay!!
Our first trip to Bear Lake, the owners had an extremely well appointed house with amenities beyond what you normally get. The best part was that our daughter was spoiled with sand toys and we loved having the private beach. We’ll be back!

The house is on a hidden gem of a lake! The water is beautiful and calm. They provided paddle boards, kayaks and a paddle boat! Everything we needed to enjoy the lake. The house itself is well equipped and the beds were super comfortable! You can tell the owner cares about its renters having a wonderful stay. Would definitely recommend!
This beautiful home had absolutely everything you would want and need in a beachfront home. Nothing has been left out…everything you need is right there and we loved all the amazing attention to detail that went into decorating and filling this home. From the very pleasant owner Janine to the amazing neighbors and their sweet dog who were absolutely welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. To say we all were pleased would be an understatement. Already making plans to return!!! 😄😄
Our extended family gathering at this house was fantastic. The house was awesome, well furnished and equipped for 10 as advertised. The yard and beach area were great for outdoor activities and swimming, and the kayaks, paddle boards and pedal boat provided hours of fun. Our grandkids caught lots of fish right off the dock. We launched a pontoon boat at the nearby launch for tubing and kneeboarding. We used the great fire pit for s’mores nearly every night. The property host Janine lives two doors away and was very responsive to questions before and during our stay. She was also quick to say yes when I asked if she could come over to take a photo of our group on our last evening. The rental price for all the house provided made it an excellent value. I would give this house a 5 rating.
Rented this property for a Bachelorette girls weekend trip. The house was amazing, and every guest could not stop talking about it. From the decor style, house layout and the supplies available to use, stunning! We had a group of 9 ladies and the space was more than enough. The house has two paddle boards, a kayak and a paddle boat which was so fun taking out to the sandbar. The host even made accommodations for our group for additional parking. Our group had the best time, never had to leave for anything and the host was nearby (which was so helpful when we needed help taking down the provided easy up tent). Loved this rental !!!!
