Hotels & Accommodation near Bear Lake Trailhead

A bit hot to fall asleep during July without A/C. It usually becomes cool after midnight. Also, the soundproofing is a bit poor. But the lodge is cheap and view is good.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The views and location are spectacular, the beds are comfy and the house is very well appointed, as is the bunkhouse. It wears its history well, but has top line fixtures and the updated finishes only add to the grandeur of the place. Because of its location perched atop a granite outcropping, it feels like a chateau, but functions like a super comfortable bungalow, with kids games, TVs, a dedicated wine fridge, and a beautiful subzero refrigerator. Having both a standard 12-cup coffee maker and a modern quick response Keurig was ideal with 13 people of varying caffeination requirements.The outdoor gas fireplace is ideal to gather and gaze at the stars, share stories of daily adventures, and relax before bed. Which brings me to the main quirk, for which you’ll want to plan ahead.There are plenty of beds, but only two small bedrooms in the main have doors that offer a modicum of privacy.The upstairs master is a dream King bed room with a beautiful en-suite bath, but as it’s at the top of the stairs at the entry, there’s no bedroom door to shut, and hence no real privacy. Even so, this is definitely the best room, but bring earplugs, or you’ll be up with the first to awaken.The bunkhouse has a beautiful king, but is also in the same wide open space with two bunks and one twin. A bath, and laundry compliment the kitchenette.So if sharing space and divvying 3 baths, two kings, and countless twins, isn’t an issue, then you’re golden!

The cottage was comfortable and very clean. The property grounds was quiet and well keep up. We enjoyed relaxing by the river creek on rhe property
