This house was so perfect for our family reunion. The game room and hot tub were a bit hit for the kids and sitting outside on the deck watching the sunset was a big hit for the adults! Plenty of room in the kitchen and the house was stocked well.
We do NOT recommend staying at Burly Bear Lodge. We booked it because it was a premier host with all 5-star reviews, so you can imagine our shock when we arrived to find crumbs on the kitchen counters and in the cupboard, unwashed dishes put back in the cupboard, and floors that clearly hadnât been swept or mopped.The bedrooms were even worse. The sheets were covered in sand, dog hair, stains, and wrappers. We had to strip and wash them ourselves. We also found wrappers, used flossers, and Q-tips scattered in the bathrooms. The grill required a deep clean before use, and other areas still needed attention, including dusting, wiping out the fridge, and cleaning the patio.When we texted the owner, they did send someone to clean the kitchen, but by then the first impression was ruined. The only reason we gave 2 stars is because the property has potential, but it was filthy, and we felt uncomfortable the entire stay. We will never stay here again and will NEVER recommend it to a friend.
I have been a Vrbo property owner and a guest at Vrbo properties for 15 years. Positives: the great view from the front balconies, game area downstairs was a treat for grandchildren and seating for 20 around a long table was great. Bear lake is beautiful.Now for the sad & disappointing areas: an owner should never misrepresent a property: in this case the listing talks about a pool and tennis area. The picture in the listing is for the property next door not the one accessible to this property see pictures, it does not have tennis courts that is in the property next door, the sauna spa does not work, the view from the dirty hot tub is the wall of the house see picture, several bed sheets were dirty & appear never to have been washed, bed linen and towels were moist and appeared never to have been properly dried, we had to wash several towels that appeared never to have been washed, there was a bbq area that was filthy see pics, there were candy wrappings and trash under beds, video games need to be properly repaired. It is a 1/2 walk to the garbage disposal area. Several mattresses & pillows need to be replaced. The owner was asked if there were 2 refrigerators: he said no but there were two. We had to clean the area around the front entrance. There were no wash clothes, on the last day a young man came and brought us âcleaning clothsâ to use as wash cloths. The owner was very responsive to communications but âletting the team know â is not a solution . Poor cleaning.
A great place to stay. Lots of fun things to do for everyone. The huge table that fit 20 was an especially nice feature. Our host communicated well and we had every thing we needed.
We loved the property. The host was very proactive and very helpful. Loved access to the pool. The only issues we had were that the toilet paper and paper towels were pretty low. Texted the host and they gave us access to the utility closet so we could get more. The cleaning crew that finished right before we arrived must have been in a hurry. They floors were pretty dirty. We would definitely stay there gain! We were a family of 25, with kids ranging from 2-18. The younger kids especially enjoyed the arcade games and the air hockey.
We were all very sad that was not a decorated Christmas tree in the property especially after I specifically asked if there would be one there and I was told yes. If I would have known we would have a 3 foot undecorated, I would have brought my own. We had to go into Logan and spend 100 to get a Christmas tree and base and then a trip to Walmart and spent another 60 on lights and ornaments to go on it that I could have brought from home. The home also had a wine opener but no wine glasses so I spent another 40 on those. We had a good time though.
It was perfect! We had 8 couples. We are all nurses and very type a. We like things clean and organized and it all was. There were Plenty of beds. The kitchen had all the tools we needed for cooking! Plenty of towels and such. Iâve had very few amazing vrbo experiences and this is one of them!
Seriously donât have enough gold things to say!
I face times my kids while we were there and they are begging to go!
My wife and I sponsor a mini vacation annually for our 4 children, their partners, and our 7 grandchildren. I've been wanting to stay in the Bear Lake area for several years. This property was ideal with enough space for us all and so many ways to have fun. I overheard one of my sons-in-law say to my other son-in-law, "We're spoiled." That is exactly what I wanted to hear, and exactly how I felt ss well. So if you're looking to spoil yourself and your family, this is the perfect property.
We had a lovely family reunion at this incredible cabin. It's in a great location with a fantastic view. The host, Jake, was awesome and super responsive. I highly recommend this cabin.
The house was comfortable and well stocked. We had 33 people there and plenty of room for everyone. The video arcade room was the biggest hit of all. Kids ranged an age from one month to 16 years old and there was something for everyone.
the owner was extremely accommodating, quick to respond to any concerns, and overall wanted us to enjoy our time there. The house was very clean, large tv's in every room, kitchen well stocked, plenty of seating, lots of beds, lot of entertainment for kids, beds were solid, comfortable and NOT squeaky, hot tub was very clean, sauna was a nice touch, location is awesome, overall would highly recommend!
The property was excellent. Clean! Roomy! Comfortable! Furnished with utensils, bowls, cooking pans, everything we needed. Would stay there again!!! Wonderful place for a family with all ages of guests.
Thank you so much for sharing your newly renovated home with us for our family reunion. The house was so comfortable with room for our large family to enjoy each other. The amenities just put it over the top, arcade style video games, air hockey, foosball, massive TVs, hot tub, it just didnât end. From a location in Garden City, this place is hard to beat. Right across and up the hill from the marina and 3-5 mins from town. Jake communicated very well and was so helpful.
For anyone looking for a place in Bear Lake to rent, donât pass this place up.
We stayed with 11 of our kids and 15 grandkids. There was plenty of space, beds and things to do. We had everything we needed. Really enjoyed the huge table and large TVâs. Very easy to communicate with Jake about any questions or issues. House, property and hot tub were all very clean. Beautiful view of the lake!
My extended family and I stayed here in early June and it was incredible. Extremely clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and the towels and sheets were soft and fluffy. And the game room! Sooo good. We had 10 kids staying here and they were never bored during downtimes.
The dining room fit all 24 of us easily! It was so nice being able to sit together for meals.
The pantry is full of kitchen appliances and the kitchen is stocked with pots and pans and baking sheets. We brought a lot of those things from home with us and we didnât need to since the house provided them.
Honestly, this house was perfect. The size, accommodations, and cleanliness made it a 5 star for sure.
