The Laketown Lodge: The Big, Bold, and Borderline Ridiculous Laketown Luxury Rental

Open concept living room and kitchen with exposed brick walls.

Listen up, my weary wanderers – if you’re longing for a Bear Lake getaway that will transport you to the lap of luxury, then prepare to have your world rocked by the sheer splendor of the Laketown Lodge, Laketown’s luxury rental. This 9,000-square-foot manor isn’t just your average vacation rental…it’s a palace fit for a king (or, you know, your in-laws).

And the best part? Laketown Lodge is the only short-term rental property that’s actually allowed in the entire town of Laketown. So you know you’re getting something truly special.

From the moment you lay eyes on the grand, Craftsman-inspired exterior, you’ll know you’re in for something truly special. But trust me, that’s just the warm-up act. Step through those solid wood doors, and get ready to have your jaw hit the floor harder than a bad case of gravity.

Bedrooms So Cozy, You’ll Never Want to Leave (Nap Optional)

Cozy bedroom with green painted walls, and overlooking the Bear Lake hills through the bedroom window.

Now, I know what you’re really wondering – 9 bedrooms? Yes, there are nine luxurious bedrooms at Laketown Lodge. Are they just as swanky as the rest of this place, or are they a letdown waiting to happen? Well my friends, let me put your minds at ease – the folks behind Laketown Lodge have absolutely nailed it when it comes to those all-important sleeping quarters.

In each of the nine spacious bedrooms, you’ll find brand new, high-quality linens that practically beg you to sink in and never come up for air. Seriously, these sheets are so soft and inviting, you might find yourself taking an impromptu mid-afternoon siesta – and hey, who are we to judge? Isn’t that what vacation is all about, after all?

And if you really want to treat yourself, be sure to snag one of the rooms with an en-suite bathroom. These lavish little havens come complete with rainfall showers and vanities so sleek and stylish, you’ll be updating your Instagram faster than you can say “getaway goals.” Just don’t forget to actually get out of bed long enough to snap a few flattering selfies, mmkay?

Look, the way I see it, the whole point of this Laketown luxury rental is being able to truly unwind and recharge. And with bedrooms this plush and pampering, you won’t have any trouble doing just that. In fact, you might just find yourself wanting to move right on in and become a permanent fixture. But hey, we promise we won’t judge if you try.

The “Fun Floor”: Where Childhood Dreams Come to Life (and Then Party)

Basement games floor showcasing foosball, pool table, and home theater amenities.

But Laketown Lodge isn’t just about providing a plush place to lay your head. Nope, the real heart of this operation lies in what we affectionately refer to as the “Fun Floor” – a sprawling basement oasis that’s bursting with enough entertainment options to make Dave & Buster’s weep.

Gather the whole crew and get ready to unleash your inner child, because this place has it all: a built-in castle playhouse, a state-of-the-art theater, a pool table, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, and so much more. Challenge your friends to a heated ping pong tournament, settle in for a movie night in the private theater, or simply let the kids run wild in the castle while you kick back and relax with a crisp glass of Bear Lake’s finest.

Outdoor Oasis: Where Nature and Luxury Do the Tango

But the fun doesn’t stop when you step outside the lodge, my friends. Spread out across over half an acre of meticulously manicured lawn, you’ll find ample space for lawn games, picnics, or simply soaking up the sun and taking in the breathtaking views of the lake.

And when it’s time to unwind after a day of adventure, there’s no better place to do it than in the lodge’s luxurious outdoor hot tub. Sink into the bubbling waters, glass of wine in hand, and let the stresses of the day melt away as you gaze out at your surroundings.

Your Laketown Luxury Rental Escape Awaits

Thanksgiving at Bear Lake: Saving Your Sanity

Open concept family room and kitchen open to above, overlooking Bear Lake.

Listen up, holiday heroes-in-training: we’re about to let you in on the greatest Thanksgiving hack since someone invented store-bought pie crust. While everyone else is panic-googling “how to defrost a turkey in two hours” and moving furniture to accommodate Great-Aunt Mildred’s new walker, you could be living your best life in a luxury Bear Lake rental where someone else already handled the vacuum lines in the carpet. Thanksgiving at Bear Lake, your family’s new tradition.

The “Why Didn’t I Think of This Before?” Solution

Picture this: You’re lounging on a private deck overlooking the “Caribbean of the Rockies,” sipping something bubbly, while your Instagram fills with photos of your friends’ kitchen disasters. And when someone asks, “Where did you learn to host like this?” you can just gesture vaguely at the gorgeous mountain views and take full credit for being the family genius.

Rear deck of Sapphire Lodge, overlooking Bear Lake.

Houses So Epic, They’ll Forget to Ask Why You’re Not Cooking

Our luxury properties come equipped with everything you need to look like a hosting pro while doing absolutely nothing:

Kitchens so fancy, nobody will notice they’re mainly being used to plate takeout
Multiple floors because “family togetherness” should have a reasonable time limit
Strategic “quiet zones” for impromptu disappearing acts (we mean meditation, of course)
Entertainment rooms that make “go play with your cousins” sound like a reward
Enough space to ensure you won’t hear Uncle Bob’s conspiracy theories from your private sanctuary
More bathrooms than you have family members with boundary issues

Home theatre room with big screen TV and a large sectional couch.

The “Not My Problem” Package

Remember when you were a kid and the best part of visiting someone else’s house was not having to clean up? Welcome to your adult version of that joy:

Red wine on the couch? Yeah, sorry that’s still your problem.
Dishes piled up? Not when you’ve ordered takeout.
Kids decided to make “snow angels” in the carpet? Let them.
Mother-in-law reorganizing things? Let her – you’ll be gone in a few days anyway

Thanksgiving at Bear Lake, Living Life in the Easy Lane.

Here’s our hot take: nobody actually remembers who cooked the turkey. They remember the view, the laughs, and how relaxed you looked as the “host.” Our team can connect you with local restaurants that:

Make grandmother-worthy traditional meals
Package everything in discrete containers (perfect for a quick transfer to your fancy serving dishes)
Deliver at specific times so you can “check on things in the kitchen”
Include enough extras to claim you “made too much” (as if that’s possible)

Escape Routes… Er, Activities for Everyone

When you need a strategic timeout from family bonding:

“Important work emails” by the serene lakeside (no one needs to know it’s actually your Netflix queue)
Long walks to “check out the neighborhood” (aka peace and quiet)
Extended “grocery store runs” (local wine shops count as grocery stores)
“Supervising the kids” in the game room (while crushing them at pool)
Sunset watching on your private deck (code for: do not disturb)

Bedroom with multiple bunk beds and large bean bag style chairs.

The “I’m Clearly Winning at Life” Package

Book early so we can help you with:

Local restaurant speed-dial list (categorized by “how fancy the containers look”)
Professional photographer (because if you don’t document this genius, did it even happen?)
Guide to local coffee shops (ranked by distance from chatty relatives)
Map of property’s best hiding spots (we mean “quiet reflection spaces”)

Your Exit Strategy to Excellence

Face it: you’re not avoiding Thanksgiving traditions – you’re elevating them. Swap your kitchen stress for lake views, your cleaning frenzy for luxury living, and your cooking disasters for catering victories. This is what we call playing smarter, not harder.

Repeat after me, “Thanksgiving at Bear Lake”. See how easy that was?
