Recent Bear Lake guest reviews

We stayed five nights at this Garden City home with five adults and an infant, and it truly felt magical from start to finish. The house is beautifully stocked with everything you could think of, plus plenty you wouldn’t have thought of but were so amazed to find. The space itself is incredibly comfortable, with plenty of bedrooms, lots of cozy couches, and soft throw blankets everywhere you want to settle in and relax. The kitchen was a highlight, fully equipped with everything from a large side-by-side fridge and separate ice maker to small appliances, and even a hot cocoa bar. This was perfect for the below-freezing mornings we experienced. Hot chocolate and a lake view in the mornings! Couldn't get any better! The view of Bear Lake from the great room is unforgettable. We watched snowstorms sweep across the lake, turning it from deep blue to steel gray to a soft white veil of snowfall. In the evenings, the valley lights slowly flickering on across the hills created a peaceful, almost storybook setting. A couple of nights, I sat in the hot tub on the front deck taking it all in. It was absolutely serene. While unexpectedly cold weather made this trip special, we could easily imagine how wonderful it would be in summer as well. The backyard has a great play area for kids, picnic tables for meals and visiting, and wide-open mountain views. It is clearly designed for families to gather and enjoy time together. What really sets this home apart, though, are the thoughtful details. There are extra outlets and USB ports everywhere, games and books for all ages, and a pantry full of helpful kitchen tools. Everything is clearly labeled, which makes it easy to find what you need and just as easy to leave things in order. For families, the home is especially well-prepared, with high chairs, a booster seat, child-safe outlet covers, and even color-coded clothespins to keep track of towels, which is such a clever touch. Other conveniences stood out too. There are wall-mounted shampoo and soap dispensers, blue-light plug-in fly traps that double as nightlights, and plenty of shoe racks to help keep the home clean. There is even an emergency flashlight and fire extinguisher thoughtfully placed. The master bathroom was a favorite, with a comfortable soaking tub and a well-labeled bidet system. Outside, the attention to detail continued. There's a cushioned play area and even a drinking fountain for summer days. There is plenty of parking, and even several passes for access to Ideal Beach, including the activity center. What a fantastic bonus! Bear Lake Golf Course is just down the hill, and my sons and I are already talking about coming back for a summer golf trip. We also loved simply walking the neighborhood roads. The views of the lake and valley are breathtaking at every turn. This home is more than just a place to stay. It is a place to gather, relax, and make lasting memories. We can't wait to return!

Our stay at this beautiful home near Bear Lake was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. The house itself is stunning — clean, spacious, and designed with so much care. Every detail made us feel comfortable and relaxed, like a true home away from home. The views were absolutely breathtaking, especially in the mornings and at sunset. Everything we needed was provided, and the cleanliness was impeccable. You can really feel the attention and effort that goes into maintaining this property. We left feeling refreshed, happy, and already thinking about coming back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful escape.

Where is Bear Lake?

Due north and east of the Great Salt Lake, the smaller (but magnificent) Bear Lake is split in half by the border of Utah and Idaho. At about 125 miles from Salt Lake City, it’s a convenient weekend getaway for many Utahns. Since the lake’s shore extends into Idaho, our Bear Lake vacation rentals and cabins might be in either state.

Things to do in Bear Lake

If you’re here for the lake, rent a boat and put it in the water at First Point boat ramp to get the aquatic fun started. Renting a four-wheeler is another exciting way to enjoy the beautiful Bear Lake scenery. Garden City, the Utah town on the lake’s shore, boasts a lovely bike trail, fishing pond, town center, and more. The area is known for its raspberries, and if you’re lucky enough to visit during the first week of August, you’ll get to enjoy the annual Raspberry Days festival. Winter visitors can easily access the ski slopes at Beaver Mountain, just 14 miles west.

The natural beauty of Bear Lake is truly stunning, and the surrounding area offers plenty of rentals to suit every visitor’s taste. Take your pick of our Bear Lake cabin rentals, and let the adventure begin.
