    Any cleanliness concerns, existing damage, missing items, maintenance issues, or conditions that may affect your stay should be reported to Prime Properties within three (3) hours of check-in, preferably through our direct phone line and with photos when applicable.
    This reporting window gives our team a reasonable opportunity to verify the condition and provide a timely solution during your stay. Concerns first reported substantially later in the reservation or after departure may be more difficult to verify and may limit the remedies we are able to offer.
    Urgent safety, water, electrical, heating, access, or other significant issues should be reported immediately.

    2. Smoking & Vaping
    Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the home, garage, or any other designated smoke-free area of the property.
    Guests may be responsible for reasonable costs associated with smoke remediation, odor treatment, additional cleaning, damaged furnishings, or other restoration required as a result of smoking or vaping. Where permitted and properly disclosed, smoking-related remediation charges may begin at $200 and may increase based on the extent of the work required.

    3. Pets & Assistance Animals

Please note that ESA’s (emotional support animals) are not registered service animals. Prime Properties does not charge a pet fee for qualifying Service Animals. Guests remain responsible for damage caused by an animal to the same extent they would be responsible for other damage caused during the reservation.

    4. Check-In & Check-Out Times
    Please observe the check-in and checkout times listed with your reservation so our teams have adequate time to prepare the property between guests.
    Early check-in or late checkout must be requested at least 24 hours in advance and is subject to availability. A fee may apply depending on the amount of additional time requested.

    6. Cancellation & Date Changes
    The cancellation policy shown on the listing at the time of booking applies to the reservation.
    Requests to change reservation dates do not automatically override the cancellation terms associated with the original reservation.

    7. Starter Supplies & Consumables
    Prime Properties provides a starter supply of common household items such as toilet paper, paper towels, soaps, trash bags, dishwashing products, and similar essentials.
    These supplies are intended to help guests get started and are not necessarily stocked for the entire length of every reservation. Guests are responsible for purchasing additional consumable supplies if needed during their stay unless otherwise stated in the listing.

    8. Lost & Found
    Prime Properties is not responsible for personal belongings left at the property.
    If you believe you left something behind, contact Guest Services as soon as possible. When an item can be located and returned, a $50 fee will apply and must be paid before shipment.
    Items will generally be held for 14 days after checkout. Items not claimed within that period may be discarded or donated.

    9. Damage, Missing Items & Excessive Cleaning
    Please report accidental damage or broken items as soon as possible. Early communication often allows us to resolve an issue quickly and prevent further damage.
    When practical, please leave damaged or broken items in a visible location rather than throwing them away.
    Guests may be responsible for reasonable repair, replacement, specialized cleaning, or labor costs resulting from damage, missing property, misuse, or conditions beyond normal use of the home.

Great place. Easy communication.

We used this for a company retreat and it worked great. Everything was easy with check-in and the place was spotless and exactly as described. No compliments. I would stay here again.

Perfect for big families!

Close to the beach. So nice for every family to have their own space to go to, but also having large gathering spaces for everyone to eat and spend time together. Close to North Beach when playing at the lake and the property is also across from fields/park to play sports together. We want to go back!

Wonderful for a large group

It’s hard to keep 50+ people happy when choosing accommodations but this place made it easy. How can you go wrong with everyone having their own bathroom?! Families loved the private and shared spaces. There was plenty of everything to accommodate us…towels, chairs, blankets, kitchen supplies, etc. We would love to stay here again.

Great place for a big group

All the cabins were clean and fully stocked with coffee pots, fridge, microwave, TV, blankets, pillows, and so much more! The beds were comfy and the cabins were so welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked with all our groups of 20 needed. It fit all of us perfectly. To top it off the support team was very responsive and friendly. Thank you to all that made our stay wonderful

Bear Lake Country Cabins was a great place for our family reunion of about 40 people! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with high quality dishes, pans, serving and eating utensils and even 2 crockpots. Two refrigerators and 2 washers and dryers as well. Large central picnic table and 2 side tables in the main room made it possible to feed everyone at once. The manager was extremely responsive to questions and always texted right back immediately. Check in and out were super easy. The only complaints/suggestions I heard were: 1. The cabins needed more places to hang up clothes--perhaps some hooks, and/or more hangers. 2. Potential renters need to be aware that in all the rooms with queen bed bunk, the queen beds are set right on the floor. A little bit hard to get in and out of for older or pregnant occupants. Other than that we LOVED our time there!

We enjoyed having a family get together where all had their own space. The big house had everything we needed for serving and cooking meals. There was ample room to gather. The teenagers enjoyed the game room and hot tub. We brought yard games with us and had plenty of room to play them. When we had a question or needed something they were quick to respond.

We had an excellent stay, there was several things to be aware of when you book. The furnace in the cabins didn't work and had a hard time maintaining heat.The wifi is extremely spotty and can't maintain more then 2 devices on it at a time. Bring blankets if you are visiting in the early part of the year. Also, pay attention to the pictures. Almost all the cabin beds are on the floor. Second, the main cabin doesn't have a vint or range for the stove top, if you cook anything you need to open the windows or door. The humidity in the main cabin is so high that windows fog causing mold. Three of the cabin doors didn't latch so bring some tools. But all said and done, it was spacious, there was room for everyone. It is kid friendly, (minus the stairs) it had play pens that came in extremely handy. It fit our needs.

We stayed in Saint Charles, Idaho with a group of 45 (30 adults, 10 kids, 5 babies) and had a wonderful time celebrating the holidays, even without snow. The main cabin and surrounding cabins were clean, cozy, and warm. The long dining table was perfect for shared meals, games, and crafts — we brought a Christmas tree and made ornaments and snowflakes, which made it extra special.The kitchen was well stocked, and having two large fridges helped a lot with meals. We appreciated mini fridges, coffee makers, Pack & Plays, and TVs in each cabin, which made things easier for families. We enjoyed the game room, fire pit, nearby basketball court, and exploring in a side-by-side during “mud season.” The mountain and lake views were lovely.The Wi-Fi worked well after some initial troubleshooting, and we were able to stream football — including an epic Chicago Bears win! The managers were responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.A couple notes: the area is remote and rustic, so plan ahead. A few extra blankets would help on cold nights, and taller guests may prefer beds in the main cabin. We noticed dog droppings and a loose dog around the yard, which was tricky with lots of kids and trips between cabins.Overall, a great place to gather and make memories — we’d love to return in true winter or summer!Thanks to the management team being so responsive to any questions or concerns.
