Our rental was at 11:00 and the beach was almost empty. It was awesome! Unfortunately, we didn't see the fine print on the confirmation email stating that only people 18 and older can drive. We had assumed it would be like the other rental place where our teenagers could take turns driving. This was the highlight of the trip and our teens were bummed. The weather didn't quite cooperate fully, but the company offered to refund us for the time we didn't use if we needed to call it quits. The ski-doo was a pain. I don't know what was wrong with ours, but it kept beeping and would shut off in the middle of the lake. It freaked me out enough to where I didn't feel comfortable driving it. Next time I think we'll rent our own ski-doo in Logan and tow it to the lake so we can be at North Beach, but the teenagers can also drive it. P.S. They use binoculars to watch you out on the water, so make sure you're following the rules.

The following is a condensed copy of the letter we sent to this resort after our stay with the…read morecomment card. While the location of the resort is absolutely stunning, and we very much enjoyed visiting the area, we were time and again disappointed in the resort. The following is the list of problems we had with the resort. First, we were unable to get the Wi-Fi to work. So, naturally, we wanted to call maintenance to see if it could be fixed, but the office hours are from 9-5. Frankly, when you are on vacation, you are out of the room usually during those hours - we went skiing everyday, leaving around 8:30 and back about 5:15 and so were never able to call and ask about it. This was a problem since we had planned on using it to pay some bills and buy Christmas gifts on line. We finally received a call Thursday night from Annette who wanted to see how we were doing. She indicated that the wi-fi didn't really work and anyway, no one would be out to restart the router till tuesday of next week - which did not help us at all. She did however send out the maintenance man to help us with our DVD player. He was very prompt and was there is 10 min. The office hours should be changed to evening hours at least. Another frustration we had is that at such a resort with International visitors, there was no cork screw or wine glasses. We bought a cork screw at the gas station which broke after one use, and the subsequent one we exchanged it for broke before any bottle was opened. Annette on Thursday noted that she probably wouldn't have anything like that, however the maintenance man found us one straightaway. I wish I knew his name because he was the most helpful employee. Not in any of the timeshares around the world have we seen no wine glasses or corkscrew. The quality of the pots and pans was also a disappointment, the large stock pot was missing a handle, which made it difficult and dangerous to handle when hot and the frying pan handle was about to fall off. The rear left burner on the stove did not work - and since we like to make gourmet meals for holidays, these things made it difficult. Additionally, the cabinetry in the kitchen was extremely old and needs refurbishing - there should at the very least be shelf paper in them because the glasses stored upside down had residue on the rims from the dirty shelves. Also, there was only the fork part of the salad serving plasticware. The downstairs toilet had a tendency to clog and finally we were unable to use it at all. The downstairs restroom has a ventilation problem and no towel ever dried completely after hung up there. I should mention that this unit is supposed to house 10 people, however, there is only 1 towel rack in each room. Where are those 10 people supposed to hang their towels? Not to mention the lack of hangers in the hall closet for jackets, there are only 4. Additionally, the wall heater in the bathroom did not work and frankly, during a renovation should be removed as it is quite gross looking as well. The front door had a problem with locking. Once it was locked, it was hard to unlock it from the inside. You had to use the key from the outside and the key we were given did not work the deadbolt. Finally, we visited the hot tub on Thursday night and it was a perfect temperature; so on Christmas Eve (Friday) we decided to leave the slopes early to enjoy the hot tub before it got dark. First let me say that going to the hot tub is no small feat in 8 degree weather - since you have to go outside to get there. However, the door was locked and we were unable to enter. In all of the literature it said that the hot tub is open everyday 10am -10pm. So why was it locked? At this point, we were quite fed up with the resort and of course it was after 5pm, so we called the emergency number which apparently is Annette's cell phone number. She said that she wasn't in charge of the pool and there was nothing she could do. What great customer service! We would not hang up until we got something from her, but before that she said it is Christmas for her too. Finally, she relented and said she would try to call whoever was in charge of the pool. Of course nothing happened and on Christmas Day it was still locked and since there is NOTHING open on Christmas, we couldn't even go in the pool to break up our day. Overall, this resort needs a complete renovation badly.

Our glamping tent was beautiful, spacious, and comfortable, with some of the nicest beds we've slept in while traveling. The tent included both a heater and a fan, giving us options for any weather, although we didn't need either during our stay. The bedding was so comfortable and warm that we slept great throughout the night. The entire property was spotless, including the shower and bathroom facilities, which were always clean and well-maintained. We especially appreciated the thoughtful amenities in the bathhouses, including soap, shampoo, lotion, and hair dryers. The restaurant was excellent, with delicious food and a great atmosphere. The smash burger and Brussels sprouts were both outstanding and some of our favorite meals during our stay. We also loved the camp store, especially having fresh coffee available in the morning. One of the fun surprises was receiving a cute s'mores kit at check-in. It was a thoughtful touch and made our evening campfire even more enjoyable. What really made our stay special was the outstanding customer service. Steve went above and beyond--he came by to light our campfire, asked about our trip, and offered helpful recommendations for places to visit after leaving the ranch. We also noticed him providing the same friendly, personal service to other guests, which says a lot about the hospitality at Conestoga Ranch. There were plenty of activities to enjoy on-site, including free ping-pong tables and video games and air hockey available for a small fee. The ranch also offers a great selection of bicycles, and we enjoyed riding the scenic 5-mile trail to the marina and beach. One thing to note is that the campground is not directly on Bear Lake, but it's just a short distance away. We were treated to a gorgeous sunrise over Bear Lake from the ranch, which was the perfect way to start the day. Beautiful accommodations, excellent food, outstanding service, and a fun, relaxing atmosphere made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would definitely stay here again!

There are beds, dressers, fans, a heater, lighting, outlets. It seemed great. Until.... I noticed there were bugs in the bed. On the sheets, under the covers. So many little bugs. Unfortunately, I didn't see how many there really were until the morning. I took a zoomed in photo and discovered that they're a type of LICE! They were in all 3 beds in the tent, plus the carpets and floor. I fully recognize that this is nature, and I expected some bugs... spiders, flies, that kind of thing. But not lice in the beds. As if that weren't enough... When we arrived, we were told to text when we wanted to have the campfire lit (I assumed they wanted to have control over the fires, so that was fine) and that there was a bucket of water to put it out and for safety reasons. Someone did come to light the campfire, but I noticed the water bucket was empty. I told him about it, and he told me, "If you want to go to sleep, just leave the fire burning. It'll be fine." The fire pit was literally 3 feet from a mountainside of tall grass. The wildfires in Utah have been outrageous this summer. It's been terrible and devastating. If you live here, you know. I was not going to just leave a fire burning, throwing embers into the grass. My husband stayed up until midnight to make sure it burned out properly (fire extinguisher nearby just in case). Also... the shower in the bath house was cold, even turned up to completely "hot." I showered at 6:30am, before most of the campground was up, so no chance the hot water was depleted yet. And... We were told that breakfast and coffee would be available at 7:30am. It was not. The place wasn't even supposed to open until 5pm, so I'm not sure why they told us it was available in the morning. We left the campground for coffee and food. When we wanted to check out, we called for a golf cart as we were told to do. It was the hottest week in Utah history. It was seriously so hot. The office texted back that someone was on the way. We waited outside for 15 minutes before just carrying all our stuff through the campground and back to the car ourselves. We just wanted to leave. Passing the main building on the way to the car, 2 people were sitting on a golf cart just playing on their phones. Nobody ever went to the tent. Honestly, I could have accepted ALL of this (except the bed lice... that's a hard no) if one night wasn't $300-400 after fees. For a tent with a bed. Not worth it. I'd rather just camp for real.

We liked the resort overall. Just like any place it is not perfect but a solid 4 stars. The good: the rooms were clean and pretty spacious, very friendly staff, bathrooms are top notch, access to a large pool that was heated perfectly, access to tennis (we did not use), nice location, and solid walls so you could not hear the neighbors TV or screaming kids The bad: check in time is only at 4pm (unless arranged for another time). I did not read the check in instructions so this was my fault, luckily the manager called and asked if we were still coming and was really nice despite my mistake. They do not stock the bathrooms with shampoo so bring your own, they do provide soap. Since the resort is circular it can be a maze to get to your room (I'm nit-picking here). We only were given one key so we had to coordinate a lot to ensure no one was locked out. The price was about what to expect when visiting bear lake in the summer over a very busy weekend so it was high but expect to pay that. Sure you can spend less down the road but you will not have access to a big heated pool. The kids and I loved the pool a lot. This was a highlight to our trip.

Not to mention a dead bird in the window that no one was able to remove for us (despite us asking) and sliding doors that don't lock. We left our rental several days early because it was totally unsuitable and false advertising. They also said they don't have a pool yet so they point you to the community pool, but turns out that has been closed down for years. We're currently working to get a refund on the nights we didn't use (since we left early) and still haven't received a call back. Hoping this review gets some attention from the owners so we don't have to escalate further. Here's just a short list of all the issues we ran into: - Drug deal in front of doorway to the condos - Lake view is a scam - see photos - Dead bird in window (that my 3 year old found) - Sliders don't lock - No community pool as noted in email - Cody's restaurant team was buying/doing drugs right under to our balcony

Will be a wonderful vacation spot when the resort is complete. Unfortunately one of the staff saw our 22 year old son (unbeknownst to us) smoking a 'clove cigarette' on the balcony one morning, resulting in a $336 charge to my credit card. Reviewing the contract, I realized it stated smoking anywhere 'may' result in this fee. I called the manager to explain this wasn't tobacco, we were unaware and would never allow smoking on their premises. I asked for a reduction in the fee to $100 which I would have our son pay for the lesson learned. No one in our family smokes tobacco and we took excellent care of the unit, even avoiding shoes inside. The manager refused, stated I was lying, insisting the unit reeked of smoke, and complaining that we got a great deal on the condo (prior to memorial day opening season at Bear Lake when we were the only visitors, so of course they gave us a deal!), and ultimately offered me $50 off, still resulting in an extra $286 loss to my family. I was happy to pay some portion of the fee for the 'clove cigarette,' but was terribly disappointed in this unfounded accusation and huge added expense for my family.
