Bear Lake Retreat - Beachfront & Game Room

Turquoise water stretches to a long mountain ridge as the fire pit crackles and the sky turns pastel over Bear Lake. This custom 4,000 sq ft Garden City home sleeps 18 and offers panoramic lake views, a vaulted living room with a gas fireplace, a game area with air hockey and foosball, and covered decks with a gas grill. Spend your days on the public and private beaches along the shore, then gather on the hillside lawn for sunset.

Built high on the hillside above Garden City, this custom home frames Bear Lake from every room. Tall windows pour turquoise water and mountain ridgelines into the vaulted living room. Covered timber decks stretch along the back of the house, and a boulder-ringed fire pit sits on the lawn below, where the lake glows at sunset. With room for 18, a game area and two gathering spaces, it suits family reunions and friend getaways.

Five bedrooms mix private retreats for couples with shared rooms for kids and cousins, so the whole group can stay under one roof.

Bedroom 1 is a vaulted loft-style room with three double beds dressed in matching buffalo check bedding. A railing overlooks the floor below and a window catches a glimpse of the lake. It is a favorite for siblings, cousins or a group of friends.

Bedroom 2 features a king bed with a navy upholstered headboard. A sliding glass door opens to the covered deck and the lake and hills beyond. A TV on the dresser and a reading chair make it a relaxing retreat for the hosts of the trip.

Bedroom 3 offers a queen bed between wood nightstands and lamps. A sliding glass door opens to a covered patio overlooking the lake, so morning coffee is a few steps away.

Bedroom 4 has a queen bed and a row of three windows looking out toward the lake and hills. Recessed lighting gives it a calm, bright feel for a couple.

Bedroom 5 pairs a queen bed with a built-in twin bunk nook, complete with a navy metal ladder and gray striped bedding. Parents can sleep in the queen while the kids climb into the bunks.

Bathrooms
Four full bathrooms keep busy mornings moving. One bath has a long double vanity under transom windows, a glass-enclosed tiled walk-in shower, a tall linen cabinet and a walk-in closet, and the lake is reflected in the center mirror. Another pairs a double quartz vanity and round black mirrors with a subway tile bathtub and shower combo, which is handy for bathing little ones. The remaining baths have quartz vanities, matte black fixtures and white subway tile showers with rain showerheads. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and fresh towels are ready when you arrive.

Living Areas
The vaulted living room centers on a wall of tall windows that frame the lake and mountains. Sink into the sectional or a leather armchair while the gas fireplace glows below a mounted TV. The space opens to the dining area and kitchen, so the cook never misses the conversation.

A second family room gives the group room to spread out. It has a fabric sectional, a leather sofa, an ottoman, a wall mounted TV and French doors that open to the patio and lake views. Board games and a DVD player are on hand for movie nights.

Game Room
Air hockey and foosball tables share a bright corner where kids and adults can settle rivalries between lake days.

Kitchen & Dining
The open kitchen is built for big group meals. Three bar stools line a large white quartz island under glass pendant lights. Stained wood cabinetry, a tiled backsplash, a stainless range and a built-in wall oven and microwave surround it. A dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, baking sheet and wine glasses round out the space. The long dark wood dining table seats a crowd with upholstered chairs and a bench, and sliding glass doors beside it open to the deck and the lake.

Decks, Patio & Fire Pit
A long covered deck with timber posts and recessed lighting runs along the house, with cushioned seating and a gas grill facing open valley views. Below, a covered patio offers gray Adirondack chairs on a patterned rug, looking over the green hillside to the turquoise lake and mountains. Out on the lawn, a round concrete fire pit sits on a gravel patio ringed by boulders, a perfect spot to watch the sky turn pastel over Bear Lake.
