2024 Family Gathering

We as a family hadn't gotten together in over 10 years. We drove from California, Nebraska and Colorado to this absolutely amazing home. Over 8000 square feet of beauty with the most STUNNING views of Bear Lake. Plenty of room for 35 of us to enjoy each other's company and so many amazing fun opportunities near by. The owners are absolutely great, a phone call away for anything you needed. We had a beautiful time and I would absolutely recommend this VRBO. It is a bucket list item..Go, book today.

Best Vacation House EVER!!

This house look amazing online, but to experience it in person was WOW! We had 27 adult/teenagers, and 7 kids under 7, with 2 newborns. Everyone had space to spread out. Several areas in the home to gather and do different activities. Great space and activities in the garage and in the backyard. Great view of the lake and mountains. We were even able to watch the meteor shower because the stars were so visible at night. Everyone in my family wants to come back. We felt spoiled and it was a great stress reliever and memory maker. Thanks so much!

Family reunion

We rented the house for a four day family reunion. The property exceeded our expectations. We played volleyball every day on the sand volleyball court. We played kickball,baseball and basketball. We flew kites on the huge lawn. The huge back deck was perfect for relaxing and viewing the lake. We were worried about having 36 people in one house but it worked out perfectly. The house in big enough that we never felt crowded. One night we made smores and talked around the fire pit.The hostes were excellent. We needed extra sheets one night and in one phone call the problem was fixed.The house was equipped with every appliance, pots pans ect. We would stay there again in a minute.

Great home and locations

We had a large group of 19 kids and 12 adults and had the best time at this house! Great location to beaches, playhouse, Minnetonka cave etc, and so many fun things at the house that kept everyone busy for hours. My only complaint would be that the house is in need of a deep clean. The cleaners came before we arrived and you never would have known it, except that the beds were freshly made.

Perfect Family Getaway

The house was perfect for our family reunion. There were lots of places for the kids to play, inside and out. We loved the many gathering areas inside for everyone to do their various activities and not feel like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is large and the huge pantry and extra fridge and freezers were perfect for holding all the food for the reunion. There were a lot of little things that made it nice for kids - the toys, game room, plastic dishes and extra mattresses, to name a few. The location is gorgeous and was a lovely backdrop for our family pictures. The variety of bedrooms and bunks fit each family and the beds were super comfortable. I would highly recommend this house and would love to stay here again.

This property fit our big family nicely. And the set up was very conducive to accommodating big family meals and games. It’s hard to find nice places with enough room for all the kids and grandkids and we loved our time together, Very convenient location for snow fun also.

Thanksgiving 2022 with the Family

We have an annual tradition to rent a cabin or house and spend the Thanksgiving Weekend with all of our family. We had 13 adults, 4 teenagers and 7 little kids. This house was perfect! We had comfortable rooms for everyone and the house was set up perfect for us. People could be preparing meals, doing Thanksgiving crafts, making a puzzle, playing games and watching football all at the same time. The kids had a blast playing air hockey, foosball, ping pong and playing on the climbing wall. The teenagers played video games in the family room in the basement. And everyone enjoyed the hot tub. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all of our meals, including Thanksgiving dinner. Of all the places we've rented in the past, this house is our favorite ... we've already reserved it for Thanksgiving 2023!

Perfect place for our family reunion

Although we had an initial problem with the cleaning of the home, it was rectified quickly and we had a wonderful stay with 35 family members. It fit our family perfectly. The extra large grassy backyard provided all that was needed for playing the outdoor games we love. The view is special.

Amazing!! We loved it!

We absolutely loved the house and yard. It has such a beautiful view of the lake and mountains all around the property. We had a blast with the volleyball court and played a few different types of games on the court. We also made good use of all of the lawn there and the basketball court. The kitchen was great and the seating for eating was great for our large group of 30. It is a beautiful home and beautiful set up. The owners were wonderful at communicating. We highly recommend this place for a great vacation. Thanks!

Perfect for our Family

With 23 people to accommodate for our family reunion this was the perfect place. Each of the five families had their own bedrooms, the 13 kids loved the bunk rooms and the playroom. Our nightly programs were held in the living room with plenty of space for everyone. It was easy to feed everyone with 3 large tables. The adults ate in the formal dinner and could actually visit without kids interrupting. Used the fire pit outside the last night because the weather was perfect for it. Couldn't have had a better reunion there.

Wonderful place by the lake surrounded by pristine snow

We were six families (31 people) who stayed here for 5 nights in winter break of 2021. We enjoyed the spacious and cozy stay as well as the skiing in the nearby Beaver Mountain. Garden City is a town of nice people. We did our grocery etc. from there almost everyday. The owner has been very friendly and quick to respond any of our concerns. TaLonnie has been nice enough to get the snow in the driveway plowed off everyday. One thing I didn’t like much was that only one bedroom had the attached bathroom and one of the six families had to sleep in the little bunkbed room. However, as family and friends we managed to distribute rooms among ourselves. Overall it has been a great experience staying here.

About the host

Hosted by TaLonnie Sullivan

Why they chose this property

We have enjoyed going to Bear Lake for lots many vacations prior to purchasing this home, so we decided to buy our dream vacation home there, and share it with you.

This property gets you away from downtown Garden City, with an amazing view of Bear Lake. Adults can relax and converse while teens and children discover the many options for self-entertainment options.

What makes this property unique

More parking here than almost any rental property in Bear Lake. This house was built to be a Parade of Homes winner. Plenty of space for large groups to spread out, and not feel cramped. Several groups of trees to bring hammocks and read books in the shade. Large lawn for large group activities.
