Lake Vista Lodge | 5BR Sleeps 24 | Stunning Lake Views, Direct ATV & Snowmobile Trail Access
The Best Views in Bear Lake Valley Lake Vista Lodge earns its name. Perched above Garden City in the Elk Ridge subdivision, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom mountain retreat offers sweeping panoramic views of Bear Lake that you'll remember long after you leave. Watch the sunrise paint the turquoise water from your deck, then end the day roasting marshmallows in the outdoor fireplace as the stars come out.
Built for Adventurers This is the property for groups who bring toys. Direct access to hundreds of miles of trails means you can ride ATVs, UTVs, or mountain bikes straight from the cabin in summer, and snowmobiles in winter. The property has plenty of parking for multiple vehicles plus room for your equipment trailers—no struggling to find space for the stuff that makes the trip fun.
Room for the Whole Crew At 4,100 square feet spread across three levels, Lake Vista Lodge sleeps up to 24 guests without feeling cramped. The layout works for multi-generational groups: a main-level master suite for grandparents, upper and lower level bedrooms for families, and multiple gathering spaces so everyone isn't stacked on top of each other. Three sleeper sofas in the loft and lower level gathering room give you flexibility for extra guests or overflow from the kids' rooms.
Close to Town, Far from Ordinary You're just a short drive from Garden City's restaurants, shops, and world-famous raspberry shakes. The new Bridgerland Adventure Park is practically next door—perfect for kids (and adventurous adults) who want to test their skills on bridges and zip lines. Yet up here on the hill, you feel a world away. Year-Round Destination Summer brings boating, hiking, biking, and ATV riding. Winter transforms the area into a snowmobiler's paradise with trail access right from the property. The lake is beautiful in every season, and so are these views. Sleeping Arrangements Five bedrooms plus sleeper sofas across three levels:
Bedroom 1 – Master (Main): King bed Bedroom 2 (Upper): Queen bed + twin-over-twin bunk Bedroom 3 (Upper): 2 twin-over-full bunk beds Bedroom 4 (Lower): Queen bed + twin-over-twin bunk Bedroom 5 (Lower): Queen bed + twin-over-twin bunk Upper loft: Sleeper sofa Lower gathering room: 2 sleeper sofas

Disliked: Cleanliness
The housekeeping was over the top unacceptable. Nothing had been dusted, including dressers, shelves, blinds, floors. Cobwebs. Door windows dirty along with the tracks. First few days had Luke warm to cold showers. Finally turned it up ourselves. Downstairs family room TV didn’t work. Mouse traps. Under the couches, beds , and behind the headboards is food and wrappers. Outside below patio , chairs should be thrown away, so couldn’t sit there. It’s a cute house and there was beds for all of us, dining area for all of us, parking was great, and a view to die for. For the amount of money, it should be spic and span. We won’t consider renting it again. We have been coming to Bear Lake for 37 years. Our favorite week of the year. Water fun is our favorite.

Perfect for large family
Nice view of lake and large enough for our family. Home needs a few small repairs, replacing light bulbs type stuff etc. (nothing that disrupted our enjoyment).

We had a wonderful time. We were concerned with 14 kids and no grass but we had a blast. The deck was used a lot and the lack of mosquitoes was wonderful. The view of the lake was gorgeous.

Family reunion 2022
We traveled from all over ID to join together with our children and grandchildren. The house Is beautifully decorated, warm and inviting. It has a lot of sleeping accommodations so all we’re comfortable. Nice kitchen for meals and the deck facilitated some fun gatherings together.
There were a couple of things we brought to the managers attention and Julie was attentive to the problems. Even though they weren’t able to correct while we were there they are aware for the next group.
We definitely had a wonderful time with our family, made great memories and would recommend to others.
