The Beach House I

We very much enjoyed the gorgeous lake view and the overall spaciousness of this home. Home had a lot of movies, games, kitchen items along with plenty of towels, soaps, and bedding items! We had an issue with the thermostat and had no hair dryer. Within minutes of our inquiry, the host was there bringing us a brand newhairdryer while simultaneously addressing the thermostat! That was amazing service!However, there were a couple of pertinent issues; 1) Not ideal for older generations having to constantly manipulate 2 flights of stairs for everything, even those on the main floor had to go down a flight of stairs to find an appropriate shower for easy access. 2) Master bath had no shower and the master whirlpool tub was impossible for an older person to get in or out. 3) All but one of the showers was about a 20 inch step up in order to get in, which was also difficult for anyone, especially older folks. 4) Icemaker did NOT work and freezer leaked onto the floor the entire time we were there. 5) Kitchen cabinets were very unorganized…having them labeled would have been helpful. 6) Only 9 forks were provided in a house which sleeps in excess of 16 people. 7) Guests had to remove all their own trash upon departure!!!

Check-in was great. We were able to get in a little bit early, which was much appreciated. The Internet did show one room with a king and four doubles in the room, which was not the case. Our family greatly enjoyed the wonderful view and the extras that were there like the playground for the young kids.

We had a great time at our stay in your facilities: Beach House 1 & 2 and Ranch House. There were a few things that we wanted to report. The microwave in Beach house 1 shorted out. We didn't notify you because we still had the use of the other microwaves. The latch on the baby swing closest to the play fort broke and someone ordered the part and it will be shipped to the address on our contract. The deadbolt on the ranch house was faulty and the door to the breezeway couldn't be locked. The foot on the little bear figurine got broken off and we didn't have glue to fix it. We felt that the houses were neat and tidy when we arrived but the deck on the two beach houses had a lot of spider webs and a small nest over the door in the breezeway to beach house 1 had a build up of bird poop that was unsightly. There were three little chicks in the nest so we wanted them to have time to mature and leave the nest so we didn't disturb it but when they fly away that situation needs to be addressed. There was a broken plastic chair on the back patio. All in all, we had a great time and hope to be able to use your facilities in the years ahead. Sue Larsen

We had a great time for our annual Bear Lake reunion. We rented Beach House 1 & 2, plenty of room for our group with a fantastic view of the lake (wish the lawn area still belonged to these houses) Beach House 1 is dated but clean, Beach House 2 is newer and also clean (except the decks were covered in spider webs and spiders, nothing a little pressure wash couldn’t fix) Lots of areas in these houses to gather, or get some space from the group if needed. Location is great, just a short walk from all the shops and restaurants. If anyone in the group has limited mobility there is lots of stairs and both kitchens & great room are on the top floors. Ample parking for boats, trucks, cars and trailers. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the property. There was enough beds for all our families. Good location relative to the water and town for shopping a shakes.
