Cupid + Bear Lake: A Perfect Valentine’s Day Match

A heart made of red roses lying in the snow covered shore of Bear Lake.

Ah, Valentine’s Day. That magical time of year when the pressure to plan the perfect date reaches an all-time high. Chocolates? Overdone. Roses? They’ll wilt in days. A last-minute dinner reservation squeezed between two other couples’ tables? Let’s just say it’s not giving epic romance vibes.

This year, we’re here to rescue you from Valentine’s mediocrity with something so spectacular, even Cupid would give you a slow clap. Enter: Bear Lake Luxury Rentals—the ultimate setting for a romantic escape that’ll have your partner swooning before you even unpack.

Our properties are the perfect place to hit pause on life’s chaos and focus on what really matters: quality time, stunning views, and uninterrupted cozy moments with the one you love.

A Setting So Romantic, It Practically Writes the Love Letter for You

Nestled along the pristine shores of Bear Lake, our luxury vacation homes are built to impress. Whether you’re planning a grand romantic gesture or just a quiet weekend away, this is the backdrop you’ve been dreaming of.

Imagine this:

Morning Coffee by the Lake: Wake up to snow-dusted landscapes and crystal-clear water so still it looks like glass. Grab your coffee (or mimosas—we don’t judge) and soak it all in.
Golden Hour Bliss: Watch the sun sink below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of pink and orange, while you and your partner toast to love. Bonus: sunsets this good guarantee amazing selfies.
Cozy Nights Indoors: Fireplaces flickering, the scent of hot cocoa in the air, and your partner’s head resting on your shoulder. Could it get any better?

Amenities to Elevate Your Valentine’s Game

Bear Lake Luxury Rentals are all about setting the stage for romance. Here’s what you can expect to make your stay extra special:

Hot Tubs with a View: Nothing says romance like soaking in a steaming hot tub under a blanket of stars. Just add champagne.
King-Size Beds That Feel Like Clouds: For the kind of restful sleep that makes getting out of bed optional.
Private Kitchens for Date Night In: Whether you’re whipping up a five-star meal or reheating heart-shaped leftovers, you’ll have everything you need. (And if things get messy in the kitchen, well, that’s half the fun.)
Stargazing Opportunities: Our secluded properties mean zero light pollution—just you, the stars, and an open invitation to make some Valentine’s wishes.

Romantic Adventures Await

For the couples who prefer a bit of adventure with their romance, Bear Lake has plenty to offer:

Snowshoeing in a Winter Wonderland: Bundle up and trek hand-in-hand through powdery trails. You’ll feel like the stars of your own rom-com montage.
Ice Skating for Two: Channel your inner figure skaters (or penguins) as you glide across the local rink. Don’t worry if you’re a little wobbly—holding hands makes everything easier.
S’mores by the Fire: Many of our properties have outdoor fire pits perfect for marshmallow roasting. Pro tip: write a sweet love note on the graham cracker before handing it to your partner.

Prefer staying indoors? No problem. Bring along a stack of rom-coms or tackle that 1,000-piece puzzle you’ve been eyeing. Trust us, the best moments are often the simplest.

Why Your Partner Will Love This Idea

Let’s face it: planning Valentine’s Day can be stressful. (Dinner reservations? Impossible. Crowds? Unbearable.) But a private escape to Bear Lake takes all the pressure off. It’s thoughtful, intimate, and—most importantly—guaranteed to earn you major brownie points.

Plus, a romantic getaway means no interruptions. No work emails, no doorbells, no awkward run-ins with acquaintances at the grocery store. Just you, your person, and all the time in the world to reconnect.

Discover Harmony at Stump Hollow: A Luxurious Bear Lake Retreat for Every Season

Open concept family room with plush sectional couch and gourmet white kitchen.

Welcome to Harmony at Stump Hollow, where luxury and adventure seamlessly combine to offer an unforgettable experience in the heart of Garden City, Utah. Presented by Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, this stunning vacation home, completed in November 2022, is the perfect getaway for families, friends, and groups. Whether you’re planning a summer escape, a winter retreat, or something in between, Harmony at Stump Hollow is designed to meet all your vacation needs—and exceed your expectations.

With space to accommodate up to 26 guests, this home is perfect for creating lifelong memories. Its thoughtful design, top-of-the-line amenities, and breathtaking surroundings ensure a stay that’s as comfortable as it is exciting. In 2024, we enhanced the experience with two incredible additions: a private pickleball court and a game room and arcade in the garage. These features join the home’s already impressive private theater, creating endless entertainment options for guests of all ages.

Step Into Luxury and Comfort

Plush, luxurious bed in a brightly lit bedroom.

From the moment you arrive, Harmony at Stump Hollow welcomes you with elegance and warmth. The open-concept kitchen is a centerpiece of the home, featuring custom cabinets and professional-grade appliances. Whether you’re preparing a hearty breakfast before hitting the lake or hosting a dinner feast, this space is perfect for bringing people together over delicious meals and shared moments.

The home’s five beautifully decorated bedrooms are outfitted with Malouf plush bedding, ensuring that every guest enjoys a restful night’s sleep. And after a day packed with outdoor adventures or local exploration, there’s no better way to relax than in the hot tub, where you can soak under the stars and let your cares melt away.

For those looking for entertainment indoors, Harmony at Stump Hollow has you covered. Catch the latest blockbuster or re-watch your favorite classics in the private theater, complete with a 135-inch screen. The game room and arcade bring out everyone’s competitive side, while the private pickleball court promises hours of fun in the fresh mountain air.

Endless Adventures Await

While Harmony at Stump Hollow offers plenty to keep you entertained, the surrounding area is equally captivating. Garden City and Bear Lake are known for their stunning natural beauty, exciting activities, and welcoming small-town charm.

Summer Highlights

In the warmer months, Bear Lake is a haven for water lovers. Just minutes from the property, the lake’s crystal-clear waters invite you to enjoy boating, paddleboarding, jet skiing, and more. For a quieter experience, grab your fishing pole and visit the local fishing pond, only two blocks from the home.

Concerts, craft fairs, and fireworks displays fill the summer evenings with energy, while nearby Raspberry Square and Garden City Park offer unique shopping, dining, and entertainment. Whether you’re taking in the views or diving into local culture, there’s always something to do.

Winter Wonderland

When the snow starts to fall, Bear Lake transforms into a winter paradise. The Sinks, a snowmobiling hotspot, is only 20 minutes away, and Beaver Mountain Ski Resort is just a 25-minute drive. Skiing, snowboarding, and tubing are only the beginning of the adventures awaiting you in the colder months. After a day on the slopes or exploring the winter trails, head back to Harmony at Stump Hollow for some well-earned relaxation. Cozy up with a warm drink in the theater room or challenge your group to an arcade showdown in the game room.

Explore Local Charm

Garden City is more than just a gateway to outdoor adventure—it’s a destination in its own right. From local restaurants serving mouthwatering meals to charming boutiques and cultural hotspots, the town has something for everyone. Don’t miss a chance to explore nearby Montpelier, where you can enjoy bowling, catch a movie at the updated theater, or visit historical museums.

Polaris Peak: The ‘Peak’ of Luxury!

Exterior view of Polaris Peak with the bright blue waters of Bear Lake in the background.

They say you can’t please everyone—but whoever said that clearly never stayed at Polaris Peak, the “Peak’ of luxury. Perched high above the Bear Lake Valley in the exclusive gated community of The Reserve in Fish Haven, Idaho, this luxury vacation home doesn’t just check all the boxes—it obliterates them. Whether you’re planning a reunion, a getaway with your best friends, or that one vacation where you (somehow) decided inviting your entire extended family was a good idea, Polaris Peak is the place where memories are made and Wi-Fi signals are strong.

Let’s dive in, shall we?

Welcome to the Top of the World (Okay, Idaho)

View of Polaris Peak's family room with lit fireplace and floor to ceiling windows overlooking Bear Lake in the winter.

First things first: Polaris Peak sits on a private 5-acre lot at the tippy top of The Reserve. The views? Absolutely insane. Picture this—sparkling Bear Lake to the south, mountains rolling out in every direction, and sunsets so good you’ll consider becoming a full-time influencer just to do them justice.

Inside, this place isn’t just big—it’s huge. With eight bedrooms (yes, that’s eight, you over-packers), Polaris Peak comfortably sleeps up to 36 people. That means you can invite everyone, including the cousin who always eats the last slice of pizza.

And speaking of pizza (or any other culinary delight your heart desires), the fully stocked chef’s kitchen is a dream come true. Whether you’re channeling your inner Gordon Ramsay or just slapping together PB&Js for the crew, you’ll have everything you need. We can’t promise someone won’t fight over the last pancake, though.

All Play, No Work (Unless You Count Ping-Pong Smackdowns as Work)

Polaris Peak kitchen, open to above, overlooking the bright blue waters of Bear Lake.

Polaris Peak isn’t just a house—it’s an all-inclusive fun factory.

Private Theater Room: Forget fighting over what to watch on a tiny hotel TV. With a 150” screen, you can binge your favorite series, host a family movie night, or live out your Hollywood dreams (red carpet not included).
Bullfrog Spa: After a day of adventure (or, let’s be honest, doing absolutely nothing), this hot tub is the spot for a soak. Bonus points if you enjoy it under the stars with a glass of wine in hand.
Ping-Pong Table: It’s time to settle those sibling rivalries once and for all. Trash talk optional but highly encouraged.
Fire Pit: Nothing says “vacation” like roasting marshmallows while everyone argues over the proper way to make a s’more. (Pro tip: It’s always extra chocolate.)

And if that’s not enough, there’s plenty of room for kids—or the young-at-heart—to run wild. Trust us, you’ll appreciate the chance to sit back while someone else burns off their energy.

The Reserve Clubhouse: Because Why Stop at Amazing?

Outdoor pool at The Reserve, a private clubhouse, overlooking Bear Lake.

If Polaris Peak itself somehow isn’t enough (we’re questioning your standards, but okay), The Reserve’s clubhouse is just a short drive away. It comes with two pools, a hot tub, basketball and tennis courts, a game room, and even a gym for those of you who can’t skip leg day—even on vacation.

Need some beach time? The private 1,900-foot beach on Bear Lake is the stuff of dreams. Build sandcastles, lounge in the sun, or take one of those slow-mo videos of your friends running into the water. (We promise not to laugh. Okay, maybe a little.)

Winter? Spring? Summer? Polaris Peak Doesn’t Care.

Polaris Peak is the MVP of year-round vacation homes.

Summer: ATV trails right outside the development? Check. Private beaches? Check. Poolside lounging? Double check.
Winter: Hit the snowmobile trails at The Sinks or take a 25-minute drive to Beaver Mountain Ski Resort for some slope-side fun. When you’re done, head back to Polaris Peak to warm up by the gas fireplace or soak in the spa while your snow boots dry.
Fall & Spring: The views get even better (yes, it’s possible). Take a hike, explore Garden City, or just sit on the patio and sip your coffee while you contemplate why you don’t live here full-time.

Stuff You’ll Brag About Later

Polaris Peak doesn’t skimp on the details. Here’s the rundown of everything included to make your stay unforgettable:

Central heating and air conditioning (because being too hot or cold is for amateurs)
5 flat-screen TVs with Netflix and Amazon Prime access (goodbye, boredom)
In-unit washer/dryer (because someone always spills spaghetti sauce)
Gas grill (it’s BBQ season somewhere)
Wi-Fi strong enough to make everyone jealous of your Instagram posts

The Polaris Peak Effect

Let’s face it: vacations are great, but Polaris Peak is better. It’s where epic adventures meet top-tier relaxation. Where you’ll laugh until you cry over board games and cry until you laugh during a bad karaoke session.

Book your stay today—because memories this good don’t make themselves. Plus, let’s be real: this isn’t just a rental; it’s the glow-up your vacation desperately needs.

Bear Lake Winter Warriors Wanted!

Bear Lake winter warriors wanted! Winter isn’t just a season—it’s a vibe. And at Bear Lake, we take winter seriously. Seriously fun, seriously scenic, and seriously luxurious. Whether you’re a snow enthusiast or just in it for the hot cocoa and Instagram moments, Bear Lake Luxury Rentals is the ultimate spot for your frosty getaway. Let’s break down why you should skip your couch (and your shovel) this season and join us for an unforgettable winter.

1. Ski Beaver Mountain Like a Pro (or a Newbie, We Don’t Judge)

🎿 First things first: Beaver Mountain is the place to be. Are you an expert skier who carves like a chef at a sushi bar? Awesome. Are you more of a “pizza wedge and pray” type? Equally awesome. The slopes don’t discriminate, and the après-ski is *chef’s kiss*.

Hot tip: Even if you spend more time on your butt than your skis, it still counts as exercise. Treat yourself to an extra marshmallow in your hot cocoa afterward. You’ve earned it.

2. Snowmobiling: Adrenaline with a Side of “WHEEE!”

If skiing isn’t your thing, no worries. Hop on a snowmobile and experience Bear Lake’s winter wonderland at warp speed. Think of it as the ultimate snowy joyride. Bonus: you get to feel like a secret agent while zipping through the trails.

Pro tip: Take a selfie mid-ride (safely, of course).

3. Ice Fishing: Outsmarting Nature, One Fish at a Time

For the patient adventurers, Bear Lake’s ice fishing scene is where it’s at. Imagine this: a cozy chair, a thermos of something warm, and the thrill of catching your dinner (or at least telling everyone about the one that got away).

Warning: Fish have been known to outsmart even the cleverest anglers. Bring your A-game… or just enjoy the serene vibes of the frozen lake.

4. The Cozy Comeback: Winter Warriors Recharge

Let’s get real—after a day of adventuring in the snow, there’s nothing better than stepping into a luxury rental that feels like it was designed specifically to pamper you. At Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, we know how to do cozy right. Forget about scraping ice off your windshield or arguing over the thermostat—here, winter is all about indulgence.

Here’s what’s waiting for you when you call one of our properties “home” this winter:

🔥 Fireplaces That Warm Your Body and Soul

There’s just something magical about a roaring fire. Whether you’re sipping on a glass of wine, toasting marshmallows for the perfectly gooey s’more, or just basking in the glow (because who doesn’t love good mood lighting?), our fireplaces deliver serious cozy vibes.

Bonus: no chopping wood required—unless you’re into that kind of thing.

🛁 Hot Tubs: The Ultimate Recovery Zone

Spent all day skiing, snowmobiling, or pretending you’re an Olympic-level snow angel artist? Slip into one of our private hot tubs and let the steamy bubbles work their magic soothing sore winter warrior muscles. It’s the ultimate muscle-soothing, Instagram-worthy experience. Pair it with a snowy lake view, and you’ve got a scene straight out of a winter fairytale.

🍫 Gourmet Hot Chocolate (or Whatever You Fancy)

Sure, you could have a regular old cup of cocoa, but where’s the fun in that? Upgrade your après-ski game with a DIY hot chocolate bar (whipped cream mandatory). Feeling fancy? Add a splash of Bailey’s or a cinnamon stick to level up the cozy. Not into cocoa? Don’t worry—our fully equipped kitchens can handle whatever your taste buds desire.

🛋️ Blanket Forts for Adults (and Kids at Heart)

Okay, so maybe we don’t actually have blanket forts, but our luxury rentals are basically a grown-up version. Sink into oversized couches with plush throws and watch your favorite movies in the kind of comfort that makes you forget you even own a snow shovel. Streaming marathons are not just encouraged—they’re practically required.

🌅 Views That Deserve Their Own Hashtag

Let’s talk about the views. Whether it’s snow-capped peaks, shimmering frozen lake vistas, or a sky full of stars, Bear Lake serves up scenery so stunning you might just forget to check your phone.

Pro tip: bring your camera, because no filter will ever do these landscapes justice.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Perfect for Family, Friends, or Solo Escapes

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend for two, a family trip with the kids, or a solo getaway to finally finish that book you’ve been meaning to read, our rentals are designed to fit your vibe. Spacious living areas, gourmet kitchens, and every little detail curated for comfort—this is winter living, elevated.

Why Settle for Ordinary?

At Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, we believe winter should be celebrated, not endured. Skip the drafty windows and crowded ski lodges. Our rentals are more than a place to stay—they’re your home base for the coziest, most Instagram-worthy winter of your life.

With so much to do indoors, you may be tempted to skip the outdoor fun entirely. (We won’t tell.)

5. Why Choose Winter at Bear Lake?

Here’s the thing: winter is what you make of it. Sure, you could stay home and spend your weekends clearing snow off your driveway and dreaming of warmer days. OR you could book a Bear Lake getaway and make winter your new favorite season.

Snowball fights, scenic trails, and luxury living are waiting for you. Plus, you’ll get to post smug selfies while your friends back home argue about whose turn it is to shovel.
