Wonderful for a family gathering!
We rented this house to have our immediate family gather for our wedding. It was exactly what we imagined and the kids and adults fully enjoyed the experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to enjoy our time together from sunrise to sunset. We can’t wait to bring everyone back together in the future.

Perfect large family gathering place
Such a great reunion! We had many families here together for 7 days this summer over rasberry days; couldn't have gone better. It's bigger than it looks all around. It is upgraded, quality, and well-laid out to gather and also have alone spaces. Plenty for all ages to do here and we loved the area. The inside slides are smaller- the kids loved them and used them all day. The kitchen had enough appliances to manage our large group. The garage was huge. I loved that there were toys and lake stuff to borrow. The manager was very helpful, thanks for a wonderful successful reunion- it wilol be a life long memory!

Family Gatherings
We really enjoyed the extras this house has to offer. My sister and I had all our children and grandchildren gathered together. We had a great time playing in the playroom and going up and down the inside slides. This home has lots of room to spread out. As well as great places to gather as a whole group. Property manager is easy to contact and quick to respond to questions or concerns we had.

Perfect for families of all ages
I've stayed in this house twice now and it is the perfect Bear Lake vacation home for large families. The kitchen was clean, fully stocked, and easy to prepare meals. There was plenty of space for dining and you can't beat the view while your eating!! We love the theater room and the indoor trampoline, basketball court, and playground. It makes it worry free and safe for small children to play. The adults and teens also loved playing basketball. The beds were comfortable. The temperature was tricky to control, but each time we messaged the house owner, she was quick to respond and addressed our needs. I can't imagine staying in a Bear Lake anywhere else.

Fantastic House, Miserably Dirty
We just returned from 4 nights in this house with 17 adults and 8 children. THE GOOD: The house was fantastic for fitting all of us. They supplied each bathroom with toilet paper, plenty of towels, and shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen is stocked well, and has a cupboard with many spices. The basement rec room is unbelievably fun for adults and children. We found our selves playing 4 and 6 square the most, and it was extremely competitive. The closest store has anything needed and is close by, or you can stop in Logan on your way if you fly into SLC and go to Walmart or Costco. The beach is exactly 1 mile away, and walkable. THE BAD: This house was filthy dirty. 5 of the 6 bathrooms had dirty toilets, and if I could post pictures on here, you wouldn't think I'm picky, they were filthy. We actually had to clean the bathrooms when we got there. There was food and trash underneath multiple beds and couches, hair everywhere, and a tampon under the master bedroom bed. My son, stuck his hand in between the couch cushions and cut his finger on a crinkled up beer can in the couch and was bleeding badly. There were multiple electrical issues with the theater room, the TV's and then the stoves. Even though they came to fix them, it's still an issue having to call someone every day about something. Please be advised that only a couple bedrooms have tv's. A fun stay, but a new cleaning company is needed and we should be refunded any cleaning fee that was paid.

Extended family vacation
The Big House was very comfortable for our large extended family vacation. The house was clean and well stocked. The play room was great for all ages. Donna was available and helpful with clarifications about the amenities and local activities like a nearby sledding hill- “the sink”. We had a little trouble getting checked in as the door code was not sent before our arrival. Once we realized we could contact Donna by cell phone under “contact the host” link, we got right in. The rest of the trip was flawless.

Amazing house and venue!
The Big House at Bear Lake (Gardne City, Utah) is the perfect venue for a family get away. My wife and I and our five adult children, their spouse and children (22 people in all) stayed for three days and nights. The was ample room (9 bedrooms, recreaction areas, huge kitchen and dining area, etc.) for all of us and amazing amenities, including an indoor basketball court with swings, putting green and sunken trampoline. Also a pool table and a ping pong table, numerous TVs and a home theatre with suround sound and large screen. We used all of these features together with the water craft supplied by the property owners. The garage is cavernous, to say the least. We enthusiastically give this a five star rating. We are definitely planning to return for our next family reunion.

Great view and plenty to do
The best thing about this house is there is something for everyone. My grandkids loved the indoor slides and playground. The adults enjoyed playing ping pong, pool, and card games. There is plenty of space for cooking and crafting. The view of Bear Lake from the deck is stunning and it only took 15 minutes to drive to Rendezvous Beach. There are pickleball courts and a park close by which we took advantage of. It was wonderful to have enough bedrooms and bathrooms so each family could have their own private space. We had so much fun we wish we could have stayed a week!
