Top-Rated Condo at Bear Lake Reserve w/Lake Views

We look forward to welcoming you to Fables of the Forest, a top-rated condo fully-furnished with all the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable and memorable. * * The highlight of the cozy LIVING ROOM at this rustic mountain escape is the gas fireplace in the living room. Turn it on with the flick of a switch, grab a blanket and curl up with a good book as you enjoy the view of Bear Creek Lake from the windows. The heavy split-log, oak mantle holds a few of my favorite mementos. On both sides, the floating shelves are decorated with our family pictures, books, and portraits of mountain life by Susan Stanton. The colors are soothing and the windows provide breathtaking views of Bear Lake. The living room provides a comfortable pull-out Queen size bed that easily accommodates two additional guests. (Total Occupancy: 6) * * The DINING / KITCHEN area offers a spectacular view of the mountains and lake. The fully loaded kitchen is perfect for preparing meals or a late-night snack while you curl up in the living area.
