30th Birthday Weekend
The house is very large and spacious. The house came with many chairs and a foldable table which we set up by the firepit in the backyard. The flat top grill was great for cooking burgers and hot dogs en masse. There was a PS4 which allowed us to stream subscription services. The pantry was full of cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc, which made it easy to cook our own meals. Would recommend. The hot tub at the club house across the street was under maintenance, but the hosts were responsive and agreed to reimburse us appropriately.

It was a perfect location for our family to be together to remember our mother and grandmother. Being able to stay in the same house made it easier for us. The house was just as described and nothing was missing.

Awesome location
We had a large family reunion with 23 people. There was more than enough room for all of us. We had a blast. The water was close. Everything was close we could walk to the water we could walk to the pool we could walk to the pickle ball courts it was just the ideal location. The house was exactly how they said it would be. It was a wonderful experience and we really appreciate it. We look forward to coming back again.

Bear Lake 2024
Good location, clean and comfortable. Close access to Bear Lake but surprised we had to get across highway to access beach and amenities. Pictures didn’t suggest that issue. Would have liked pillowcases available for the extra pillows and small bars of handsoap for the bathroom shower/tubs. No power cord available for main TV to access Direct TV. Tracer grill did not work.

Pros and Cons
Loved the location and the cleanliness of the property. Disappointed in the beach. Pictures make the beach look much nicer than it actually is. Unfortunately the swimming pool was also very dirty when we arrived. Thankfully someone did clean it the following day. We also had some issues with some of the amenities that were listed with the property. The pickleball court was never made available to us, and the splash pad never worked for the duration of our stay. Both of these amenities weighed heavily on our decision to book this property. I reached out to Angela twice regarding the issue with the pickleball court and also the splash pad, and was disappointed in her response. I would think that as a property manager it's your responsibility to take some initiative and look into the problem to try and get things working properly, but that was not the case at all. If you are planning to book this property I would make sure that all of the amenities listed will be available to you.

50th Wedding Anniversary
We surprised our parents with a 50th Wedding Anniversary reunion in Bear Lake. We booked this location for the 32 members of our family. Overall, it was a great place for our family to stay and all be together. Pros: A good variety of bedroom options, Large spaces for gathering, provided extra table & chairs on the property, property manager communicated quickly when little problems arose, most small appliances provided, great division of space so sound didn't get too overwhelming, large outdoor area to be used for anything, lots of parking spaces, most of the house was in great condition, Legacy pool/hot tub was great for the family to use, great location in regards to main street. Cons: Private Legacy Beach was great for swimming but not great for exercise, private beach or clubhouse use, Basement bedding wasn't fully cleaned, Basement bath wasn't fully cleaned, Bad smell coming from the downstairs laundry and could also smell it in the drains throughout the house, basement tub didn't drain, Several furniture pieces were broken (kitchen stool, outdoor furniture), Master bath left a lot to be desired (hard to get into shower/bath combo, one sink, narrow)

Perfect for Family Reunion
Beautiful clean home with large bedrooms and plenty of beds and bathrooms. Access to Legacy Beach was a huge bonus so we didn't have to use the public beach 20 minutes away. Host was very helpful and quick to answer questions. Minor issues: propane tank was empty for grill and some patio furniture was unusable.

Great place
This home is a great location. Close to gas stations, grocery stores, hardware stores, food and of course the lake. The home was clean and stocked with a lot of kitchen supplies. If you are wondering if they have it, I would ask. Chances are they do. Towels, bedding, pillows, hand towels, dish soap, hand soap, dish detergent, laundry detergent, and some beach towels. We had a great time. We stayed over Christmas with all of my children and grandchildren. All the adults and their children had a bed. Plenty of space for all of us. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for such a great home and place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Angela Sweep

Host profile image
We absolutely love Bear Lake and enjoy spending many days in the summer boating and being with our friends and family. During the winter months we enjoy snowmobiling and skiing the deep snow that surrounds Garden city. We love Bear Lake so much we decided to purchase a home there ourselves that our family, friends and your families could enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We picked this property because we both have big families and wanted a place that would fit both families at once. It is within walking distance to the beach. It is also close to all the excitement and restaurants that Bear lake has to offer during the summer.

What makes this property unique

New home that is big enough to fit everyone's friends and family and yet close enough to the water and restaurants. Feel like you are close enough to town yet far enough away that no one will bother you.
