The location and layout of this property is amazing and our family had a great time. The house has fun decorations and includes large windows for beautiful views of the sunrise and Bear Lake. The mattresses in 4 bedrooms were very nice and comfortable . . . With that being said, there are a few things that could be improved and better communicated to future renters. Although this property is advertised as being a 5 bedroom home, we were never sure if they considered the giant game/media room with no designated bed as the 5th bedroom OR if the small outside structure w a squeaky mattress and electricity but no heat, a/c or plumbing was considered the 5th ?? This was very disappointing for our family with young grandkids!! We could have also used a little better information on what was included so we could have planned better on what to bring w us. For example: There were only two folding chairs for our party of 10 and 2 of the 4 kayaks were “child size”. Also due to the current drought, the beach is actually a five min walk from the house through marshy landscape carrying any kayaks, coolers or beach chairs. (It just would have been nice to know that beforehand!)
Management: The refrigerator needs an immediate adjustment because it froze salads, milk, fruits, veggies and even sodas. The whole house could use a deep cleaning for dirty windows and cobwebs hanging everywhere in upper areas. The lack of a/c was a big problem!! We went Sep 1-4 and even with daytime temps below 75 degrees, the house temperature was uncomfortable. This was mainly due to the large front windows bringing in extra heat during the day that doesn’t dissipate by evenings. Even by using ceiling & box fans and opening all the windows, the upper level did not cool down enough for comfortable sleeping.
