Beautiful gathering place for family
Beautiful spacious well laid out home. We loved the house and spacious yard. Kids so enjoyed Pirate Ship. Enjoyed access to beach, swimming pool, hot tub etc. We plan to return. Just a couple suggestions—dish soap bottle too small to last for our needs. We needed a hand held mixer. A fire pit would be awesome. Loved the beautiful views of the lake and hillsides out all the beautiful windows!

Pros and cons
My family got together, as we do every year, for a family reunion of sorts. There were four families staying together in the home. We have stayed at many homes in Fish Haven over the past five years. This one was not my favorite but got the job done. Pros: Location is great, right by the entrance and within walking distance to the pool. House has beautiful views of the lake. The pirate ship is fun and novel. Access to the Reserve private beach and the clubhouse pools. AC was sufficient for house and sleeping comfort. Cons: No propane in grill. Water heater insufficient for house size and needs. All the specific and strange rules posted all over the house with a label maker. (i.e. no wet sunscreen on the pirate ship??) No salt and pepper, usually a standard supply. 10 towels total in the house, when the party was 17 people. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the management company was very responsive but I don’t think I would book this house again. The bedrooms are small and the whole house feels somewhat claustrophobic.

Great place, slightly mislead by photos
This is an amazing home, unfortunately we felt like some of the photos were a tad misleading. The property was amazing and we all had a good time, but they have really widened the lens on the main room shots. We excepted a grand main room and in reality it was quaint and somewhat cozy. The pirate ship was amazing and the grand kids spent hours playing on it. That's the feedback though, for nearly 5 figures for 4 nights we expected it to be slightly larger in the main gathering areas.

Beautiful property and private beach access was a highlight!
Pool and private beach access was a game changer! Property/home/furnishings were beautiful, moose walked through the yard a few times, gated access made us feel safe leaving boats/toys out uncovered at night. Kids loved the Pirate ship structure and foosball. Bring shampoo/conditioner/soap for your crew, there wasn’t enough.

Overall great property except for one thing...
The one big problem was the construction work on the pirate ship play structure in the yard. It will be awesome when it is completed, but it made it impossible to be outside when they were working it was so loud.

Wonderful !!
We loved this home. It's our second time going with this home. We love the pool and pickle ball courts. We love how it is close to the North Shore. The home was clean and roomy and we just love it here.

Great home - great community
It was a family vacation with 4 families staying together. The layout, bedrooms, and bathrooms worked well for us. Each family had their own rooms and bathroom. The community pool, hot tub, tennis, and basketball courts were really nice. The only thing we would have like better were for the bedrooms to have some type of window covering. They aren't needed for privacy but would be nice to keep out some of the sunlight, especially in the early morning. Otherwise it was a nice home with a great view of the lake.

Thank you for your helpful review. We passed your suggestion onto the owner. Come back and see us. Bear Lake is wonderful in the winter too. The snowmobiling, skiing, and icefishing is great.
