Amazing Stay!

What a great getaway for our family of 20! (Adults & children 4-11yrs.) Plenty to do right on site and a large space for all to gather both inside and out. They have thought of everything; darling decor, well stocked kitchen, laundry, hot tub and a game room! 😊 We will keep this in mind for a future stay!

Great Property!

We stayed here for 3 nights and about 3 days. It was perfect for our extended family with plenty of beds and spaces for gathering. We loved the outdoor area and spent lots of time outside eating, visiting and playing. The family/dining area was big and was great for gathering and game playing. The kitchen was stocked well with dishes, cutlery and cookware. We had a fun time and enjoyed being close to the lake and park. We would definitely recommend this property to others!

Perfect spot for enjoying Bear Lake

We had a wonderful time at Bear Lake. This property was perfect for our group with plenty of beds and bathrooms. We enjoyed the indoor space and loved the outdoor patio. We spent our evenings gathered around the fire under the string lights. The property was centrally located and we walked into town to get shakes. I was impressed with the organization within the house, from the kitchen to the pantry and even the extra bedding, it was all kept up and easy to find. Although I didn’t get a chance to play in the game room, plenty of the younger members of our group had a ball. The host had great communication and responsive. Overall, this property was great and I would stay here again!

Carson Reunion

We loved it! Our 8 adult children’s loved it and our 9 grandchildren had a blast. They loved the in swings set and game room, which is where they spent most of their time when we weren’t at the lake. It was a great location, very quiet neighborhood, but close to everything. My adult children loved to relax in the hot tub after kids were put to bed and we enjoyed the large kitchen and family area where we could hangout , play games and just visit.

Awesome Place that fit our family!!

The game room and outside shady play area was a plus for those with kids. The house was very clean and smelled wonderful when we arrived. We love the location for walking to shopping or food. The hosts are very responsive to questions, and the house is well stocked in the kitchen with all you’ll need to cook and feed a crowd. The only drawback is one of the bathrooms in the main house is in a master suite and not as accessible if you have sleeping littles in that room. We had 20 total with 10 adults and 10 kids ranging in age 1 to 15. I highly recommend this house!!

Delightful, great teen gathering place with other activities within a short walk. Large group gathering area worked well for our group of 25-30. Bathroom space is inadequate for large group. Bedrooms are crowded except for two with three beds, they had a great photographer. Ran out of TP twice but all other needs were very well stocked and well organized. The yard is beautiful and well maintained and enjoyed on the nights that we did not have rain. Owner contact was excellent, response rapid :)

Perfect rental

Where to start? Large kitchen flowed into spacious living room and dining room. Our ages ranged from 11-75. The game room was a huge hit with everyone. We ate many meals outdoors because of the ambience of the trees and peaceful atmosphere In back. Hot tub was great. 2 refrigerators was helpful between the 2 houses. 4 bathrooms helped. We spent an afternoon at north beach where we could park on the sand. We spent another day at the south end of the lake where we rented a pontoon boat and raft and spent a lazy 6 hours out on the water. Wonderful trip. So many memories.

We had a great time staying at the Playcation Station! It was such a great house!!! It was clean had everything we needed for a great stay. James was awesome to work with was very attentive to any questions we had. The kids had a lot of fun in the game room, hot tub, and baby's were able to sleep while adults watched a movie. Kids had a great time watching the deer that would come visit each night. It was the perfect house for our Family Winter vacation! Thank you James and Heather for such a cute clean house.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We loved being able to spread out over two buildings. We had 6 adults and 7 children ages 6 to 14 and we didn't even use all the beds! The variety and arrangement of the rooms was excellent. The backyard and shade trees were a wonderful bonus and we watched the fireworks on July 5th right from the yard. The location is close to everything in Garden City. The house and cottage are way nicer than the pictures make them appear. The decor is perfect This is a wonderfully appointed VRBO and everything is meticulously labelled even the light switches. The only negative comment we had was the place is in need of a deep cleaning. The kind of cleaning you only do once a year. The surfaces are all cleaned nicely throughout, but don't look under the beds. Despite that, we would definitely stay here again if we were to go back to Bear Lake.

Quaint, quite, relaxing vacation!

This place was decorated so cute! Most items we needed were there and there was room for all 18 of us. (If you have a large group bring extra toilet paper) My favorite was the cottage out back, it was nice to be able to "get away" if you needed to relax and get some quiet time. The hosts were awesome and even gave us a deal on an extra day so we could stay for the super bowl!! We had an issue with the hot tub, it was so dirty we didn't even want to get in. When I told the hosts they said they would make sure to get that corrected, but it was a bummer since we picked this place specifically because of the hot tub :(. Other than that, everything was great!
