About this property

Bear Lake retreat with private Ideal Beach Resort Access!

Built in 2022, this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom cabin getaway has something for everyone! 13 people can stay comfortably and enjoy any of the long list of amenities this private home has to offer including private beach access, multiple swimming pools, hot tubs, golfing, and ATV trail access and much more. This is a stand-alone cabin, not a townhome or part of a complex.

Gather your loved ones together around the large dining room table at the heart of an open concept kitchen and living room space with breathtaking views of the lake. You will make lasting memories playing any of the 20+ games on site, relaxing on the large deck looking out over the Caribbean blue lake, or simply enjoying nature’s beauty with the abundant wildlife in the area.

When you are ready to enjoy the lake, bring along the included access key card to nearby Ideal Beach Resort, winner of Trip Advisor’s Choice Travelers Award for the second year in a row, where you will have access to a private beach, acres of lawn space for games, mini-golf, boat and beach toy rentals, picnic tables, two swimming pools, hot tubs, a dry sauna, water slides, a playground, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and a kids activity center.

If golf is your sport, this cabin is located 160 yards from the sixth hole of the Bear Lake Golf Course - a quaint 9 hole course nestled among the neighboring cabins.

Unload your ATVs in the driveway and head directly out on your riding adventure to hundreds of miles of off road trails. The pull-through driveway allows for easy trailer and boat access. There is onsite parking for about 5 vehicles.

Two families can comfortably stay here with two bedrooms and two bathrooms on the main floor and two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a family room in the lower level.

The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and three additional twin mattresses that can be pulled out if needed (in addition to the total number the house can sleep). The family room has a hideaway bed in the couch, tv, and Xbox. A full size bathroom in the lower level.

Awesome House in a Great Location

We had a great trip. House was clean and in such a great location. It was close to town and beach access (about a 5 minute drive) and had amazing views. Ideal beach was a lot of fun and had great amenities. Would highly recommend this house if you are visiting Bear Lake!

Clean and Beautiful Cabin

We loved our stay! The cabin was very clean, decorated very nicely and felt brand new! It was well stocked with all the essentials. The deck and view of the lake were beautiful! The only suggestion was we couldn’t change the thermostat and got hot at night. Also we didn’t love that the master bedroom didn’t have a door on the bathroom. Overall we would stay again and had a wonderful weekend getaway.

Ideal Family Getaway

We absolutely loved staying here for our Bear Lake family vacation. Setup was ideal for 2 families to split the house. Perfect amenities for young kids, including plastic tablewear, booster seat, high chair, pack n play, extra twin matresses and all of the comfy blankets! Loved the fully stocked kitchen. We were able to prepare several meals and bake a birthday cake with ease. Pantry was also stocked with flour, sugar and other baking basics. Grill worked well and we were appreciative of the spare propane tank. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the access to Ideal Beach and spent lots of time there! It is easy to tell that this home was thoughtfully setup to make vacation a breeze. Ample parking was available and the patio/backyard were perfect for outdoor play time. Thanks for a great week at the lake!

Great family weekend retreat

A total of 8 adults from 3 generations stayed at this rental and we all had such an enjoyable experience. The lake is very close, golf courses near, and fun fast food restaurants for dinners made our trip a blast! We made great memories at this a clean cozy spot, enjoyed the deal too planning late night cribbage.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Spencer

Host profile image
My family and I live in Salt Lake City and love the outdoors. We particularly enjoy skiing, boating, and going to the beach. With six kids, we appreciate properties that are family friendly with lots of options to fit a wide variety of interests. We love being hosts to share what we enjoy with others.

Why they chose this property

This location is the perfect balance of everything we love to do: go to a private beach, enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities, close proximity to a golf course, and the ability to ride our ATVs right from our driveway to miles and miles of trails. We also love being only 15 miles from our favorite ski resort, Beaver Mountain.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views of the lake, close proximity to various outdoor activities, no shared walls - great space between neighbors for a truly enjoyable vacation.
