Built for Togetherness Gather the crew in the open main level with a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, and comfortable living space.

We had a great long weekend stay here with 3 families of 4. We all fit comfortably and the kids the bunk beds. We had a minor issue finding coffee mugs in the house but the owners went above and beyond and brought us disposable hot coffee cups that night. Everyone enjoyed the stay and we would return!
This house was just the right size for my family of 12. Some of the information on it say that there are 6 bedrooms, some say 5....there are only 5, and each has a bathroom. That was really nice. We weren't sure, from the listing, whether the garage was available, but we were able to store some things in it, it just didnt lick
It was a great 3 day get away for us, grandkids & their parents (11 total). Having a bathroom for all 5 bedrooms was definitely a plus. It's not the largest of houses to rent but the layout was very functional and met all our needs. Having access to Ideal Beach/Sweetwater was great for activities and access to the lake. We would rent again.
The house was perfect! We loved that they had access to ideal beach resort but didn’t have to stay there. It was nice to go back to the peace and quiet the home offered! Julie was the best too. Quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. The house was clean, and perfect for our family! We loved every minute!

Beautiful Home and Amenities
We loved the Home. It is beautiful and everyone having a bathroom in their room was a treat. It was so nice to have our own Private Hot Tub, Pool Table and Ping Pong gave us plenty of Fun Family Competitions! Also, being able to get help with a broken Coffee Maker right away, she brought over a new one immediately, that was Fabulous!!
The only Negative was from the way the property is listed. We really thought we would be closer to Bear Lake. We were picturing being able to walk over to Ideal Beach. Instead, we had to Load up everything and everyone into cars to go over. We had a Wonderful Time!! Thank you
