Another great place to stay at bear lake

There’s not much to complain about when everyone gets a king size bed. Nice kitchen and bathrooms. Everything was very useful and cozy. The WiFi worked well. We’d love to stay again.

Excellent home

A great home. Some great features, whole home Generator that works almost instantly. Outdoor living was used a lot. Stocked firewood was great, the gas assist on the fireplace made making a fire easily. Beds all Kings and comfortable. WiFi works well and needed since there is zero cell service. It is true mountain living so be prepared to climb the mountain to get to and from the Lake Club. About a 8-10 min drive. Great house and everything works well. Sundog service was outstanding. The home had a couple issues from prior renter but they were quick to fix and communication was excellent.

Very Secluded

Our house was gorgeous as well as the beach area, the grounds around the clubhouse and the views from there were spectacular. No complaints at all. We would return if staying at the property were our goal. However, we mistakenly thought this would be a great "base" location for daily activities/excursions away from the resort by looking at Google maps. But It was inconvenient-it took us 15 minutes to get to the home once on the property. It also took another 15 minutes to drive to the pool and restaurant area. And you can not walk to anything really, just have to load up car and drive to go enjoy the amenities when we were on the property. The roads are extremely narrow and curvy around the resort and that made for a stressful drive every time and there was no resort shuttle service. Again, had our intention been to stay there only, it would have been worth it. The home/resort fit the bill for a luxurious, quiet, and secluded get away. We actually checked out a day early due to the inconvenient location.

Beautiful house and location

We stayed here at Bear Lake Reserve for my son’s wedding at Castle Ladyhawke. It was a beautiful home with a beautiful setting. Very wooded and private. We loved having 3 king beds and the screened in porch with a fireplace. Firewood was provided so we enjoyed fires daily and family bonding time with the cool weather outside. This home was convenient to the lake club with the restaurant, coffee shop, gift store, pool table, 2 pools, hot tubs, the lake beach and marina. We rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed the beauty on the lake too. We did have some issues come up with the home and we called the managing company and they came promptly to help us. The gas was turned off and the water heater wasn’t working but they came to help us. My brother also knew how to turn the gas on. So it all worked out fine. I would definitely come to this resort again and the prices are much lower on VRBO then booking through bear lake reserve. We even saw a black bear, which was fun, when driving through the resort. It does take time to drive the roads of the resort since they are narrow and very windy so allow time for them and don’t look down at your phone as there are no side railings and it’s very steep drop offs. The signal is also bad if you don’t have Wi-Fi. But the resort and this home did have that. You just don’t have it when driving around. This is a very quiet secluded resort experience and best for unplugging and enjoying time with family. Will come back!

Great Home, Very Tired Mattress

This is a lovely home and the Bear Lake Reserve community is exceptional. The access to hiking and the Lake Club were fantastic from the homes location. The home was very clean upon arrival. The king mattress in the master bedroom is a big problem, it is noticeably saggy before one attempts to sleep on it, possibly a dumpster dive find.
