The Neighborhood:
This home sits in a quiet, residential Garden City neighborhood, one of the most convenient spots on Bear Lake. You're a short walk from Mike's Market (the main in-town grocery) and Bear Lake State Park Marina, with restaurants and the lake all within easy walking distance.
In summer: Bear Lake is Utah's version of the Caribbean, with turquoise water, sand beaches, and world-famous raspberry shakes. Boat rentals, paddleboarding, Jet Skis, and kayaking are all a short drive away. Catch a show at Pickleville Playhouse or hit the Bear Lake Overlook for sunset.
In winter: Beaver Mountain Ski Resort is 25 minutes away. It's a local favorite for families and laid-back skiers. The neighborhood stays quiet and snowy, perfect for a cabin-in-the-woods feel without actually being far from amenities.
Getting Around:
• Drive time: 2.5 hrs from Salt Lake City, 2 hrs from Ogden, 5 hrs from Las Vegas
• A vehicle is helpful. Bear Lake is spread out and most summer activities are a short drive
• AWD is smart in winter months (Garden City gets real snow)
• Driveway parking for multiple vehicles
• Nearest major airport: Salt Lake City (SLC), 2.5 hrs
Other Things to Note:
• Professionally cleaned before every stay
• Quiet, residential neighborhood. Please respect neighbors with noise and quiet hours
• Electric fireplace available year-round
• Ski resort access is seasonal (Beaver Mountain ~25 minutes away, typically open mid-December through March)
• Max 10 guests. Perfect for families or a group of friends
• Bear Lake tip: bring sunscreen and water shoes in summer, layers year-round (mountain weather shifts quickly)
• Important: This home is NOT lakefront. The home sits in a residential Garden City neighborhood about 0.4 miles (10-min walk or 2-min drive) from Bear Lake State Park Marina, and 0.6 miles from Mike's Market. You can walk to the lake, but the home itself is not on the water.
