WHY CHOOSE THIS HOUSE?
For us, it was love at first sight, captivated by the stunning layered views from every room (we counted 11 layers one evening), ensuring that our friends would enjoy their own « room with a view » and averting too certain conflicts among our five kids when it comes to picking the best room!
So come, unpack and surrender to the beauty around you.

Please note that the daily resort fee, already included in the price, grants access to Bear Lake Reserve amenities such as the lake, pool, hot tub, gym, sauna, and hiking trails. However, certain activities like golf, tennis, and boat rentals may incur additional costs.
