All age groups were entertained. There was something to do for everyone. There were multiple gathering places so our group of 26 people didn’t feel crowded. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again.
Something for all ages and plenty of places to sit when dining. The teens loved the theater room and the in-door sports court.The owners were responsive when we had questions. We will likely be back in two years for our next reunion!
My husband and I and our 4 children and their families stayed here. It was wonderful! There were multiple small touches that made it extra nice. The entire place was spotless on our arrival. I particularly loved the comfort of the main floor master bedroom bed!Our grandchildren utilized every fun option from the basketball court to every fun game in the garage; the pickleball court and had fun movie nights in the luxury seated theatre.I found my communication with the owners very helpful as they were kind and informative.Access to a private beach was great!! We loved it so much we reserved it for next year!!!
Very spacious luxury home with great views and privacy
We very much enjoyed our stay with our children
This is a great home for families with great views, lots of space, and all the amenities of home. Will stay here again.
The Moose is a great place to stay. It accommodated our large family reunion perfectly. There is something for everyone. The views from the home are amazing for those that don’t want to be on the lake and for those that do, the lake access is not far away. The hosts were amazing and we would love to stay here again!
We had the best time. Location was great, with amazing views. Plenty of space for everyone to have privacy and great activities for everyone to stay entertained. We loved having a movie night in the theater with state of the art equipment and easy to follow instructions and instructional videos from the hosts.Communication was great from the host and the property was clean and very well cared for.
GREAT PLACE TO STAY. GREAT view of Bear Lake from porch. Plenty of room to spread out. GREAT place to make memories & be with family. Beach, swimming pool, playground LOTS of FUN. Very accomidating. HIGHLY recommended for family gathering & large groups.
Of all of the Bear Lake rentals that we've stayed at, The Moose is by far the best. Kids loved the basketball court, ping pong, theater room and we did a different puzzle every day. Host was very responsive and helpful. We'll be back next year!
We loved out stay here. VERY clean and host is super helpful and friendly. The kids loved the bunk room, play area and sports court. Very well stocked and we had everything we needed! The view of Bear Lake is incredible. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin!
Staying at the Moose was such a positive experience. There were so many fun things to do. Our grandchildren loved the inside basketball court and theater room. The picket ball in the driveway was also a lot of fun for the adults. We enjoyed the beautiful deck. We had a wonderful time together in a lovely and accommodating place.
It served our need well except we needed more seating for the "living room". Glad we had 2 fridges! It had a nice view of the lake. We were quite comfortable.
Absolutely beautiful and fun cabin. We had our family reunion at this cabin and it was wonderful. We had 26 people with ages between 18 months to adults. Our kids had a blast and had so many things to do especially when we had one rainy day. The theatre was great a long with the indoor gym. Communication with owners was excellent and very prompt. We would love to stay here again.
Family reunion cell Prior to our arrival, our arrival the property had all the amenities and certain
Marianne & Keith did an exceptional job in preparing the property prior to our arrival. The property had all the amenities certainly one would ask for that our family could enjoy.
, I have traveled around the world and stayed at the finest hotels, and I would rank this property among the best and therefore I complement VRBO and the owners of this beautiful property certainly an outstanding property
I highly recommend VRBO and the Moose property
The place is very well appointed, with top of the line kitchen appliances, a super and large media room, an indoor basketball half-court, large decks for eating or relaxing, and so many amenities. We had a family group of 26 and never felt overcrowded. The owner even had a small welcoming gift, which our teenagers immediately devoured. Large driveway, indoor garages filled with table tennis, foosball, basketball shoot, cornhole and more. Community pools. Would love to stay there again!
If you are interested in having a large family gathering, The Moose is the property for you. We celebrated my in-law's 50th anniversary here with a range of kids and adults. The house was large enough to accommodate all of us, and there were so many things to do. The kids did not turn on a TV once, but we did take advantage of the movie theater room. Between the activities at the house, the pool and amenities in the HOA, and the lake, I did not hear one kid say they were bored the entire time. I think the only thing I wish we had done differently was plan for a longer trip.
The owners were great at communicating before and during the stay. They answered questions promptly and resolved any concerns.
We are already planning our return trip next year.
This beautiful vacation home exceeded our expectations on every level. It is surrounded by spectacular scenery and views, and is the perfect retreat. The beautiful and well stocked kitchen made cooking for our large family a pleasure. The only challenge the kids had was finding enough time to enjoy every game and activity that was available for them-- corn hole, basketball, home theatre, fooseball,ping pong, swimming, hiking, pickleball, biking and that's just what's available at the house and in the gated community. Garden City also offered lots of fun activities from great eating, rodeo to a musical theater that was exceptional. Keith and Marianne were thoughtful hosts who communicated with us and made everything easy and a great pleasure. I can't recommend staying at The Moose highly eough!
A beautiful property. Completely clean smelling wonderful and even had a two pound box of chocolates on the counter for my wife’s and my 50th anniversary. Everything was exactly as advertised. I couldn’t recommend more highly anyone else thinking of renting here.
The house was phenomenal. So much space for how many people we had. The amenities on the actual property were so fun!The communication of the hosts was phenomenal. They have a welcome binder that has all the information you would need to operate anything in the house. We cannot wait to visit again soon! Thank you, Keith and Marianne!
The Moose was ideal for our family reunion of 23 people. There were more than enough beds and bedrooms. Each of our married children had their own master suite and the grandkids enjoyed being together in a large bunk room. We were pleased to find it ultra clean and everything in working order. The upstairs "barn" for young children and the downstairs basketball court for teens were big hits. The property host was terrific to work with and responded promptly to any questions we had.
