Puzzled at Bear Lake - Lake Views & 3 Decks

Sunrise spills color across turquoise Bear Lake as you sip coffee on one of three decks at Puzzled at Bear Lake. This three-bedroom, three-bath Garden City condo sleeps 8, with lake and mountain views, a gas fireplace in the living room, a granite kitchen with a breakfast bar, and a primary suite with its own balcony. Bear Lake State Park is half a mile away, and downtown is just over a mile south.

Mornings here start with colorful sunrises over distant mountain ridgelines and the sparkling blue water of Bear Lake. This three-story condo sits on a gentle slope in Garden City, and that slope gives it a commanding view of the water. Each floor has its own balcony or patio, so there is always an outdoor spot for morning coffee, an alfresco lunch, or evening drinks as the light fades over the lake. After a day of boating from the marina, pedaling the bike path, riding ATVs or hiking local trails, or skiing Beaver Mountain, the leather recliners and the glow of the gas fireplace make it easy to settle in.

Sleeping Arrangements
Total occupancy: 8 guests
Total beds: 4

The layout puts two bedrooms together on the top floor and a third, larger bedroom on the ground floor with its own lounge space, so parents and kids or two couples can each have room to spread out.

Bedroom 1 is the primary suite, with a queen bed, a wooden headboard, matching lamps, and a rocking chair. A sliding door opens to a private balcony with a view over the lake, and a TV sits on the dresser for slow mornings or a movie at night. It suits a couple who want the best view in the house.

Bedroom 2 offers a queen bed in patterned bedding, a nightstand with a lamp, and soft carpet underfoot. It is a cozy, quiet choice for another couple or a single guest.

Bedroom 3 is a spacious ground-floor room with a queen bed and a double bed, plus a leather recliner, a leather loveseat, a TV, and framed art on the walls. Its lounge area makes it a natural hangout for kids, teens, or friends sharing the room.

Bathrooms
Three full bathrooms keep mornings moving. Each has a granite vanity with a large mirror and fresh white towels, and one features a tub and shower combo, which is handy for bathing little ones after a day at the beach.

Living Areas
The main living space is on the second floor. In the front living room, sink into the leather reclining sofas around the tiled gas fireplace, with a flat-screen cable TV, a ceiling fan, and a glass coffee table close at hand. A sliding glass door opens to the deck with a glimpse of the lake. The den beside the dining room adds more seating for games, conversation, or a DVD after dinner.

Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen has oak cabinets, dark granite counters, and a tiled backsplash, plus a granite breakfast bar with three wooden stools where someone can always pull up for a snack. Cooks will find an electric range, an over-range microwave, a dishwasher, coffee makers, a blender, a toaster, a baking sheet, and wine glasses. The kitchen opens to the dining area, where a table with wooden chairs and a bench sits under a chandelier beside a sliding glass door that looks out to the lake.

Decks & Lake Views
With a balcony or patio on every level, outdoor time comes easily here. The main deck has a privacy screen, chairs, and a small glass table looking over the neighborhood to the turquoise lake and the cliffs beyond. In fall, the view stretches over colorful foliage to the wide lake and the mountain ridges on the far shore.
