Your Own Private Piece of Bear Lake

Castle on the Lake isn't just lakefront—it's YOUR lakefront. This 10-bedroom estate sits directly on the shores of Bear Lake with private beach access, meaning your family walks out the back door and into the turquoise water. No driving. No parking. No fighting for space at a public beach.
Launch Your Watercraft From the Property
Bring your jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, or boats and launch directly from the property into Bear Lake. While other families trailer to crowded boat ramps, yours is already on the water. This is the Bear Lake experience families dream about—and the reason Castle on the Lake books a year in advance.

Built for Big Family Reunions
At 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across multiple levels, Castle on the Lake comfortably sleeps 39 guests (50 max). This isn't a cabin where cousins fight for space—it's an estate designed for large groups to spread out, gather together, and create memories that last generations.
The dedicated kids' bunk room with 9 twin beds gives the younger generation their own space. The master suite includes a private lookout over the lake and electric fireplace. Multiple gathering areas mean the grandparents can relax while the teenagers hang out elsewhere.

Entertainment for Every Generation
The theater room brings movie nights to life for the whole family. After sunset, gather around the outdoor fire pit with the lake as your backdrop. When you need to unwind, the private hot tub on the large deck delivers—complete with those famous Bear Lake views.

Reunions, Weddings & Retreats
The combination of private lakefront, massive capacity, elegant finishes, and multiple gathering spaces makes Castle on the Lake ideal for family reunions and small private weddings. Corporate retreat planners take note: 13-vehicle parking, WiFi throughout, and the kind of setting that makes team-building feel effortless.

    This property was absolutely breathtaking. From the moment we got to the property, I knew this was going to be a special place. There was everything you could have asked for in a friend gathering and would go back in a heartbeat if I have the opportunity!

    This was a great house for our family reunion. We had a lot of families, and it housed us very well. Location is great. Being on the lake is fantastic. The master suite is amazing. The house is well loved and well used, but with that said, it worked great for us.

    First off, I want to say how wonderful Julie was! Helpful and kind in trying to help us with the issues we encountered. The house had space for all of us to be comfortable, and the view was spectacular! But, there were a lot of problems. The main backdoors handle was just about off, and wouldn't lock, 2 coffee pots..only one worked, 2 ovens..only one worked, in the master, there were 6 stairs to get up to the bathroom with NO handrails! My husband is 83 and it was difficult. Also, there was no safety railing around the patio, which had a 3-4 ft drop in places. Lastly, the beautiful windows, which ran across the back of the house, were filthy. If these problems were addressed, this truly would be “A Castle.”

    We really enjoyed our stay at this unit. We have been going there every other year for the last 10 years and our family will not go any where else. The only negative comment we would have would be about the declining maintenance of the facility. It needs extended help in this regards. Examples: windows do not work right, the ovens do not work properly, sink drains need cleaning, and the internet is very weak. Positive thing; the addition of additional beds downstairs are very helpful. Comment - A wall at the bottom of the stairs would isolate this lower area and make it another bunk type room. Those that slept down there would like to have more privacy. Thanks for a great stay - we will be back again.

    Fantastic sprawling house with enough room for a family reunion. Plenty of dishes and cookware for dining in. There were not enough towels for everyone to shower. Hand soap was provided, but no soap/body wash or shampoo for the showers/baths. We were told there were 2 washers and 2 dryers for laundry but found only one set hooked up. Another set was there but not hooked up to anything. Getting windows and doors to open and then latch closed is tricky. Despite those minor issues, we would definitely have another group stay.

    Absolutely beautiful property! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Julie, the property manager, is fantastic. She took great care of us! We love the hot tub with the unobstructed view of the lake. The kitchen was fabulous and we loved watching movies down in the theater room. We will definitely be back!

    the cabin itself is wonderful,but has not been maintained very well. The TV in the theater room never did work. Some of the TV's in bedrooms did not work and there is no TV in the master. We didn't have wifi for several days. There is no railing around the outside patio that has a 4 foot drop. Our daughter fell of and hurt her foot and back. One of the ovens did not work. There were a lot of burned out light bulbs. our family loved it. They had plenty of room. The kitchen is wonderful. We would love to come back next year if we could know these items would be fixed.

    We really enjoyed this property. It is truly like a castle. We rented a boat and everyone was able to load and unload from the property (they had to wade in about chest high water due to low water levels in Bear Lake). The hot tub was operational. The rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was perfect and there was plenty of seating in the common area. The internet was really bad and cell reception was also a challenge. So, if you are planning to watch movies, you may want to bring DVDs. Parents with babies in our group didn't like the marble stairs.
