Garden City Gem - Beach Access & Lake Views

Morning light spills across turquoise Bear Lake as you sip coffee on the wraparound deck, with deer and wild turkeys wandering past the sagebrush. This dog-friendly log cabin in Garden City's Sweetwater subdivision sleeps 10 with 3 bedrooms, a loft, a fireplace-warmed great room, and a game room with air hockey. Beach access, lake and mountain views, and the Bear Lake Golf Course just half a mile away make every season easy.

Step through the green front door and the cabin wraps around you: log walls, a vaulted ceiling, and a rustic log staircase climbing to an open loft. Sliding glass doors pull your eye straight out to the deck, where Bear Lake glows turquoise beneath the mountains. Gather by the tiled corner fireplace after a day at the beach, let the kids race to the game room for air hockey, and finish the evening under a patio heater on the covered deck while deer and wild turkeys pass through the yard.

Sleeping Arrangements
Total occupancy: 10 guests
Total beds: 6

With three bedrooms plus sofas in the living room and loft, the layout gives parents their own retreats while kids get a hideaway right next to the game room.

Bedroom 1 features a queen bed in a rustic log frame, surrounded by warm knotty pine wainscoting and lodge-style bedding, a cozy retreat for couples.

Bedroom 2 offers a double bed with the same handcrafted log look and pine accents, a restful spot for another couple or a pair of friends.

The sofa in the living room and another in the loft provide extra sleeping space for additional guests.

Bathrooms
Two full bathrooms keep mornings moving. One features a corner glass shower and a wood vanity with a large mirror, while the other offers a tiled tub and shower combo brightened by a small window, perfect for bathing little ones after a beach day.

Living Areas
The great room is the heart of the cabin, with log walls, a vaulted ceiling, a tiled corner gas fireplace with a TV, a grandfather clock, and sliding doors opening to the deck and its lake and mountain views. Above, the carpeted loft feels like a lookout, with a sofa, three colorful director's chairs, nautical decor, and large windows framing blue water on the horizon. Board games, books, and toys keep everyone entertained.

Kitchen & Dining
Knotty hickory cabinets give the kitchen a rustic glow, and the peninsula breakfast bar with wooden barstools invites everyone to linger while the cook works. A long counter with a double sink and dishwasher sits beneath a bright window, alongside an electric range and oven, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, drip coffee maker, and Keurig. Baking sheets are stocked for cookie night. Just beyond, an oval wooden table seats six beneath a chandelier, with a high chair ready for the youngest guests.

Game Room
The converted garage is pure fun: an air hockey table, a basketball hoop, a kids play kitchen, and beach tools hanging on the wall, ready to grab on the way to the sand.

Wraparound Deck & Yard
The elevated wraparound deck is where Bear Lake shows off, with sweeping views over sagebrush and pines to turquoise water and mountains beyond. Covered sections hold wicker chairs, a wooden bench, small tables, and patio heaters for cool evenings. Below, a covered concrete patio and a green lawn with stepping stones give kids and dogs room to roam, and the BBQ grill is ready for dinner outside.
