Family Reunion at Bear Lake
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!

Amazing Bear Lake cabin
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.

The best family gathering place at bear lake
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!

Beautiful Home With Spectacular Views
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!

The Place for Family Memories
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.

We loved our stay at "The Moose!"
"The Moose" was the perfect location for our family reunion! The view was beautiful! Most of the bedrooms have their own bathroom which was so nice for couples to have their own space. The beds were comfortable. The younger kids loved the playroom while the older kids loved the theatre room and indoor basketball court. The weather was perfect so we enjoyed sitting outside on the deck in the evenings. There was plenty of parking for several cars, easy to get in and out of. Our hosts were wonderful & easy to communicate with. We would definitely come back and stay here again!
