Summary: Nice property - great view and access to lake. Very responsive manager. Pickleball players note - there were two courts with pickleball lines - one with no net and one with tennis net. Luckily we had our own net.

Summary: We had a wonderful and relaxing visit at this home on Bear Creak Lake. The home was spotless and so well-equipped with everything we needed. The lake was beautiful and we had some refreshing walks in this very quiet neighborhood. The owners were immediately responsive when we had a question about the dishwasher and with their help, we had no trouble. I would definitely stay in this home in the future - I would rate it top- patch!

Summary: BEAR CREEK RETREAT is a fantastic home! Perfect location with beautiful views of the lake. The host has thought of EVERYTHING to make you feel at home. Beautifully decorated, super comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen with towels and linens for all the guests. We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary with our family and really would never have had to leave the house! New family memories were made around the firepit, fishing in the lake, kayaking and hiking. Weather couldn't have been better to fully enjoy our long weekend! Thank you, Vanesa and Jon for sharing this wonderful relaxing retreat with us!

Summary: This house had everything we could have asked for...right down to a bag of marshmallows for s'mores! The inside was beautiful, beds comfy, and fully stocked kitchen. We had a great time playing pool, darts and sitting around the fire pit at night. We relaxed by the lake while the kids spent the day kayaking and canoeing around the lake. The area is secluded and we didn't have to leave the house at all. Would definitely book this house again!
