Introducing Emerald Estate, the newest crown jewel in the Bear Lake Luxury Rentals collection. With space for up to 38 guests, this 7,800 sq ft mega-lodge combines over-the-top amenities with designer polish — making it the ultimate setting for family reunions, corporate retreats, milestone celebrations, and group getaways that don’t skimp on style.

Calling all reunion planners, vacation dreamers, and “we’ll need at least 12 bedrooms” types — your ultimate Bear Lake escape just dropped. And yes, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed… plus an indoor pickleball court.

This Isn’t a Cabin. It’s an Estate.

Let’s get real — if you’re planning a trip for 20+ people, you don’t need “charming.” You need function, flair, and room to breathe.

Emerald Estate delivers on every front:

  • 6 large bedrooms (5 with full ensuite bathrooms)
  • Custom sleeping arrangements for up to 38 guests
  • A jaw-dropping chef’s kitchen with premium Thermador appliances
  • Multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces
  • Elegant finishes, big-screen TVs, and smart-home features throughout

It’s like renting your own boutique resort — minus the resort fees and questionable buffet.

Wait, Did You Say Indoor Pickleball?

Emerald Estate's indoor pickleball court.

Yes. Yes, we did.

Emerald Estate is the only private rental in Bear Lake with a full indoor pickleball court. No bugs, no sunburn, no wind — just pure, glorious dink battles, rain or shine. (Warning: family rivalries may escalate.)

But the fun doesn’t stop there. You’ll also find:

  • A garage game room with arcade machines and ping pong
  • A Bullfrog hot tub built for star-gazing and sore-muscle-soaking
  • TWO massive decks with lake views and outdoor dining spaces

A fully loaded dream backyard with:

  • In-ground trampoline
  • Sand pit
  • Private playground
  • Dirt bike/mountain bike pump track
  • Oversized lawn for lawn games, lounging, and letting loose

Bear Lake’s Brand New Big-Group Dream Cabin

You know that one friend who somehow manages to be the life of the party and has snacks, a playlist, and extra phone chargers? That’s Blackberry Lodge — our newest luxury vacation rental at Bear Lake, and honestly, it might just outshine your in-laws and your Instagram feed. If you’ve been searching for the perfect Bear Lake cabin for a group getaway, your quest ends here. Blackberry Lodge is big, bold, and built for memory-making. Located in the heart of Harbor Village, just above the marina, it’s got room for the whole crew (yes, even that cousin who always brings an emotional support blender).

Blackberry Lodge bedroom overlooking Bear Lake.

Sleeps 24. So go ahead — invite everyone.

This isn’t one of those “sleeps 24 if you like floor space and close contact” situations. Nope. Blackberry Lodge offers 8 legit bedrooms, cozy bedding, and plenty of privacy for your group of friends, family, frenemies, or co-workers on a forced-fun retreat.

Let’s break it down.

Upper level sleeps 12:

  • 2 Queen Beds (aka the early risers)
  • 1 Queen Bed (the one who sleeps with socks on)
  • 1 Queen Bed w/ deck access (for that “sunrise yoga” person)
  • 2 Twin-over-Twin Bunk Beds (kids, teens, or full-grown adults who love bunk beds)

Lower Level – Sleeps 12:

  • 2 Queen Beds
  • 1 Queen Bed
  • 1 Queen Bed
  • 1 Twin-over-Queen Bunk + 1 Twin-over-Twin Bunk (bunk bed royalty)

Bathrooms? Yes, 3 of them. All with shower/tub combos so everyone gets their hot water and self-care time.

Blackberry Lodge game room with ping pong and pool tables.

Game Room Goals + Fire Pit Feels

You didn’t drive all the way to Bear Lake to be bored. Thankfully, Blackberry Lodge is basically an adult (and kid) playground.

  • 2 Living Rooms with 70” Smart TVs – catch the game, stream a movie, or have an unplanned group karaoke session
  • Game Room with ping pong & pool table – where rivalries are born and bragging rights are won
  • Fire Pit for s’mores, storytelling, and stargazing (don’t forget the marshmallows…or ghost stories)
  • Play Structure + Basketball Hoop – keep the kids happy and wear them out by dinnertime
  • High-speed WiFi – so you can still post to your Stories and pretend you’re off-grid
Blackberry Lodge's open concept kitchen and dining table.

Kitchen, Dining & Deck Vibes

Cook like a pro or at least look like one. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for breakfast burrito assembly lines, group taco nights, or pancake battles (winner gets the last strip of bacon). The dining area flows right into the living room for that “everyone can sit down together” magic.

Outside? A covered deck with grill and seating — ideal for sipping coffee at sunrise or casually watching someone else do the grilling.

  • 🍦 Close to shops, restaurants, and yes, the legendary raspberry shakes

Whether it’s summer sunshine, fall colors, snowy slopes, or spring serenity — Blackberry Lodge is your year-round home base.

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.
