Loved this house! Close to the center of everything but far enough away for privacy and peace and quiet. We loved sitting on the back covered patio in the afternoon/evenings and looking at the great view of the lake and green scapes.
The hot tub was perfect for after an activity filled day.
The place was clean except for one thing and I contacted the company and they took care of it right away and made it right . We loved staying there and would definitely stay there again. Great location . The only thing I didn’t like was there were two air conditioners right outside the master and at night they were noisy while I was falling asleep but once I was asleep
They didn’t bother me .
What an experience!! The ease of driving up and everything was ready for us. Not just a rental experience but the wonderful feeling of owning the property we vacation in. The team at FRAXIONED is so helpful and always available to handle any needs we have, big or small. we own three shares in two different properties and it is one of the best decisions we have made for our family.
This home is no doubt the best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. The location is perfect and the amenities are outstanding. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area you have to look here. Our group of 12 had plenty of space for golf trip. Easy access to the courses we stayed and we found plenty to do. We would absolutely return to this home in the future.

I honestly thought this place was too good to be true. Until we showed up! Everything was just like the photos, and there was so much to do INSIDE the house, that no one was ever board. We came in for our wedding and had out entire wedding party stay with us. Day of the wedding, i stayed on the 2nd floor playing games the whole time while the bride got ready on the 1st floor (since we couldn't see each other until the ceremony). Everything was neatly laid out and the instruction on how to work the pool/check-in were very clear. This was the best Airbnb i've ever been too, and my friends/family loved everything about it!
What a dream! Ownership with Fraxioned is sensical and hassle-free. We just bring our clothes and get a clean, beautiful home fully ready to dive into our vacation; every time. The rental income has also been very nice to cover the expenses and has been an easy investment to track.
My husband and i had been looking for a good "starter" investment. We wanted to start and airbnb but it was just going to be such a big expense. Fraxioned was the perfect solution, because we were able to purchase 1/8 of a home, instead of the whole thing! Dan Henry sold us a share of a beautiful home in Bear Lake, and he was so nice and easy to work with! He was always available to answer questions and send over information. Definitely would recommend Fraxioned to anyone who is wanting to get into real estate investing, without having to spend your life saving to do it!
