Ready for true lake house vibes? This brand new, family friendly home boasts views of the mountain, valley, and lake from the giant windows in the common area. This lovely space combines an open kitchen (complete with farm sink, full size appliances, and an island), picnic style dining area, and a living room complete with a gas fireplace. The deck with a living room style setup is just outside! This is one of two living rooms, as the downstairs den serves as a bonus relaxation space for groups. Everyone can stay comfortable with the home's central air conditioning. The family dogs can join you on this trip to the lake!

When it's time to head to bed, there are plenty of options for guests to choose from. The first bedroom is just past the kitchen - head past the private washer/dryer and you'll find the room, featuring a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combination. On the opposite side of the first floor, guests can choose between one room with a queen bed and another with two double beds (both served by a hall bathroom with a shower/tub combination).

Downstairs, the fourth bedroom is just to the left of the den. This room features a king bed and an en suite bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Across the way, the final two bedrooms can both utilize a hall bathroom with a shower/tub combo. One room features two double-over-double bunk bed sets and the other features a queen bed.

This was a nice property on the hill with an amazing view of the lake from the balcony/patio. The rooms were all large and the two king beds with adjoining bathrooms a plus. The beds were very comfortable. The kids toys were an added plus. There was easy access to unloading vehicles by parking behind the home. The pet friendliness made the stay much more relaxing. The outside furniture was in abundance to fit our family size allowing us to be outside most of our stay. Overall it was an enjoyable relaxing stay.

Great and spacious cabin. Love that it had 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Plenty of for our 3 families. Was stocked well with everything, other than no paper towels and only 2 dishwasher pods so only able to run the dishwasher twice.

Beautiful home and view, but needs some fixes.
The home was beautiful and the views from the deck couldn’t be beat. It was spacious and pretty clean. We did have a few issues though. The outdoor fire pit didn’t work, only three of the four burners on the grill worked, the coffee maker didn’t work and the key card to the beach access didn’t work for our entire trip. We received a response from the property manager, but nothing was ever done about any of the issues. Overall it was great, but when you spend as much as we did per night, you don’t expect these kind of problems. A side note, the sheets could use some help as there were several stains on lots of them.

Amazing!!!
This was the best short term rental we have stayed in!! We travel a lot and this house was clean, organized, and the most well stocked home we have experienced. They had everything we needed and fit 15 people easily. Check in: easy Check out: minimal work Parking: we had 6 large trucks View: the BEST Location: about 5-7 minutes from town in an upscale neighborhood on a hill overlooking the lake. The free beach resort was at the bottom of the hill.

3 day skiing vacation at Beaver Mountain
I rented Big Blue for a 3 day skiing holiday at Beaver Mountain. We had a great stay. The home is large enough for several families. The home was well appointed and had more than the required appliances and equipment needed to cook all our meals…. Which is needed as there’s very few dining options in this area in Winter. We would easily rent again. Vacasa managers were immediately available to answer questions and comments. The home is 30 minutes from Beaver Mountain ski area with a well maintained highway. Only issue, and it’s not in control of the homeowners or management, is that there has been so much record snowfall this season that access to the home can be challenging if one of the guests is handicapped or has mobility issues

DISAPPOINTED
The lack of information at the property was our biggest disappointment. There was not central place that gave us information about things like additional propane tanks for the BBQ grill and fire pit on the deck. No information about where to find the pass cards to gain access into the Ideal Beach Resort. Furnishings were quite minimal. For example no lamps on the bedside tables. Would be nice for my wife to be able to read in bed while I slept. Kind of minor things, but for the price, we certainly expected more. We will not return.

Grandchildren lobbied hard to return next year.
Still some work to finish, like safety bars in showers, more bedside tables with lamps, driveway to back of building. Wonderful games available so adults could have time off. Some kitchen appliances could be upgraded, such as waffle iron and coffee maker. Good internet access.. loved huge supply of towels.

Lovely views and comfortable living space, well equipped for large groups
Loved our stay in this well kept house, we ran into issue with the Beach access card. Property Manager sorted the issue out and dropped off the keys within an hour. Within 2-4 min to all activities. We enjoyed the great views all through the day. Thank you for such a great offering.
