Young kids age 6 and 9 had plenty to do, the pool is well kept with a small heated pool and a slide. Nice trails at BLR. The community has a few activities for kids and adults to participate, though for a fee. The 4th of July celebration was nice with food, a concert and fireworks. No major criticisms to the rental property. However, a couple activities did not occur as schedule (i.e. beach games). The July 4 celebration was overpriced, the food was not good, it was difficult to find water, and drinks were not included and also expensive. ##### Aleksander C.

The home was clean, well-stocked, and in a great neighborhood with lots to do. The club, which is about a 15 minute drive, was really nice. My kids went kayaking, played on the beach, worked out in the fitness center, and enjoyed the pool. We also played tennis or pickle-ball daily and used the golf course and practice range. The executive course was beautiful and well kept. Tip: Bring all items and change of clothes for the day with you so you can avoid the drive back and forth. Be prepared to totally unplug. Cell service isn't great in the area and the home wifi is slow, which can be very common in the mountains from our experience owning a home on Beech Mountain ourselves. Nicer routers and extenders can help, but it's the mountains, so just keep that in mind. We would absolutely recommend this home and would love to come back again in the future. ##### Jodi S.

Very nice master suite on first floor and two bedrooms (queen and king beds) on second floor sharing a full bath. Make sure to follow the directions for working the showers. Very nice finishes and decorations. Kitchen had lots of countertop appliances and we cooked in for most lunches and several dinners. Although property was located at front of gated community it was still a decent hike (about 20 or so minutes) into Sylva for groceries and restaurants. William Clark was a great host, very responsive with good recommendations for hikes and activities. Would stay here again. ##### William S.

The screened in porch had fantastic views, a large dining table and a TV over the wood burning fireplace that we used every evening. Bear Lake Reserve is very picturesque with great amenities that are sure to please everyone. William, the property manager, was extremely friendly and easy to work with. He was super responsive in resolving a maintenance issue which we appreciated. We look forward to staying again soon. ##### Richard T.
