The Big House was a great place to stay for our family reunion. There was plenty of space for playing games and sitting around talking. Comfortable furniture. Close to the water. The host responded to my questions in a timely manner and adjusting the heating as needed.

Fantastic House, Miserably Dirty
We just returned from 4 nights in this house with 17 adults and 8 children. THE GOOD: The house was fantastic for fitting all of us. They supplied each bathroom with toilet paper, plenty of towels, and shampoo/conditioner. The kitchen is stocked well, and has a cupboard with many spices. The basement rec room is unbelievably fun for adults and children. We found our selves playing 4 and 6 square the most, and it was extremely competitive. The closest store has anything needed and is close by, or you can stop in Logan on your way if you fly into SLC and go to Walmart or Costco. The beach is exactly 1 mile away, and walkable. THE BAD: This house was filthy dirty. 5 of the 6 bathrooms had dirty toilets, and if I could post pictures on here, you wouldn't think I'm picky, they were filthy. We actually had to clean the bathrooms when we got there. There was food and trash underneath multiple beds and couches, hair everywhere, and a tampon under the master bedroom bed. My son, stuck his hand in between the couch cushions and cut his finger on a crinkled up beer can in the couch and was bleeding badly. There were multiple electrical issues with the theater room, the TV's and then the stoves. Even though they came to fix them, it's still an issue having to call someone every day about something. Please be advised that only a couple bedrooms have tv's. A fun stay, but a new cleaning company is needed and we should be refunded any cleaning fee that was paid.

Extended family vacation
The Big House was very comfortable for our large extended family vacation. The house was clean and well stocked. The play room was great for all ages. Donna was available and helpful with clarifications about the amenities and local activities like a nearby sledding hill- “the sink”. We had a little trouble getting checked in as the door code was not sent before our arrival. Once we realized we could contact Donna by cell phone under “contact the host” link, we got right in. The rest of the trip was flawless.

Amazing house and venue!
The Big House at Bear Lake (Gardne City, Utah) is the perfect venue for a family get away. My wife and I and our five adult children, their spouse and children (22 people in all) stayed for three days and nights. The was ample room (9 bedrooms, recreaction areas, huge kitchen and dining area, etc.) for all of us and amazing amenities, including an indoor basketball court with swings, putting green and sunken trampoline. Also a pool table and a ping pong table, numerous TVs and a home theatre with suround sound and large screen. We used all of these features together with the water craft supplied by the property owners. The garage is cavernous, to say the least. We enthusiastically give this a five star rating. We are definitely planning to return for our next family reunion.

Great view and plenty to do
The best thing about this house is there is something for everyone. My grandkids loved the indoor slides and playground. The adults enjoyed playing ping pong, pool, and card games. There is plenty of space for cooking and crafting. The view of Bear Lake from the deck is stunning and it only took 15 minutes to drive to Rendezvous Beach. There are pickleball courts and a park close by which we took advantage of. It was wonderful to have enough bedrooms and bathrooms so each family could have their own private space. We had so much fun we wish we could have stayed a week!

Great house for our large group
The big house was a dream come true for our little kids. The trampoline, slides, swings and sports court kept them thoroughly entertained. There was room for our large family with the additional matresses provided. It wasn't as clean as we would have liked it, especially the toilets around the floor. We had to clean some of them ourselves. And there was a lot of dust on surfaces. But overall we had a great time and it was a great house.

Great Family Vacation House
We had a wonderful stay at the Big House. 25 of us from 3 months to 66 years. The first day was cloudy and rainy but the house had plenty of play options for everyone. Families could spread out and relax. There were beautiful views from the decks. The slides inside and out were a hit. The kitchen was spacious. There were a couple of cleaning areas but it’s a new cleaning crew. I’m sure it will be better as they are instructed. We were happy to have chosen this place!

The kitchen was very well stocked which made it easier to prep meals for a large group. The house is close for our outings to the Lake, go-karts, Pickleville Theater, and Bridgerland Andventure Park.

Overall the site was good. We did have 2 beds that the sheets had sand in them upon arrival. We did find some dirty clothes under one of the beds as well. There was quite a bit of spices and cooking items available for us. Having such a large group (31) having more than just 2 rolls of paper towels and extra toilet paper for the week would have been helpful. Another suggestion would be to have the bath towels equally distributed to all the bathrooms. Guest room 2 bath had a large number of towels but the other 2 levels had limited towels in the baths. Overall we had a great time and there was a lot to keep all the littles occupied. It was a beautiful view and close to the main area for shopping and site seeing.

Family Reunion at the Big House at Bear Lake
We were very pleased to stay at the Big House at Bear Lake for our family reunion. We had just over 40 people with a wide range of ages, and the house met our needs very well. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable and we were able spread out and really relax. We were a little concerned about the proximity of other homes, but found that it didn't really detract at all from our experience. There was plenty to do in the house for all ages, and we went early enough that there weren't really any crowds, so we were able to go to the beach and enjoy some water activities. We had a little problem with a breaker tripping on the stove circuit our second day, but Donna sent someone promptly and had everything operational again in short order. If we stay at Bear Lake again in the future, we will definitely consider staying at the Big House.

Best Kid Vacation House Ever
Too many positives to list, rooms, layout, kitchen amenities were all everything we needed. The play areas are awesome and the beds are comfortable. Only negative is it is hard to get the kids to leave the house too much fun! When you do though you can sled off the back porch in the winter and the skiing is easily accessed.

Arrived on Thursday Feb 23 and left Sunday Feb 26. We had a wonderful time the place was well equipped and clean. Easy to communicate with Donna the manager. Nice gathering areas and the recreational room was awesome for our younger children allowing the adults to visit separately. The view was amazing and Beaver Mt Ski Resort was only 20 minutes away and not crowded on the weekdays. All in all a memorable experience for our family.
