If your reservation is more than 60 days out from the start of your rental period, we require a 25% deposit to secure your dates. However, if your reservation is within 60 days of the start of your rental period, the entire balance will be due at booking.

What are your check-in and check-out times?
Check-in: 4:00 PM MST
Check-out: 10:00 AM MST
Can I have an early check-in or late check-out?
Peak-Season
During peak season, we are unable to offer an early check-in or late check-out due to high demand and daily turnover. However, during the off-season, there are a couple of options available.
Off-Season
If there is no booking before or after your stay, you can request an early check-in or late checkout at no additional charge. We will do our best to accommodate your request; however, it cannot be guaranteed.
Alternatively, if you’d like a guaranteed early check-in or late checkout during the off-season, you can pay a fee of $200. This will ensure that you can access the rental property as early as 1:00 PM MST on your arrival day or stay until as late as 1:00 PM MST on your departure day.
What is your cancellation policy?
At Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, we understand that plans can change unexpectedly. Our cancellation policy varies depending on how far out your reservation is.
Reservations More Than 60 Days Away
For reservations more than 60 days away, we require a 25% deposit at the time of booking. This deposit is fully refundable within 48 hours of booking; after that point, it becomes non-refundable. The remaining balance is due 60 days before the start of your rental period. In the event of a cancellation occurring more than 60 days prior to the scheduled booking date and beyond the 48-hour booking window, the 25% deposit shall be forfeited.
Reservations Within 60 Days
For reservations within 60 days of the start of your rental period, we require full payment at the time of booking. This payment is fully refundable for up to 48 hours after booking; after that point, it becomes non-refundable.
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise even within that 48-hour window and will always do our best to work with guests to find an appropriate solution.

Can I bring my Service Animal or Pet?
Our policy regarding bringing animals to our property is as follows:
Pursuant to Federal ADA Code: Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. Sec. 12102, Right to be accompanied by a service animal, can you please answer the following questions and provide the following documentation:
1. Is your service animal required because of a disability? 2. What work or tasks has the service animal been trained to perform?

If your animal does not qualify and we are unable to host your pet. We have some wonderful local families on Rover and would recommend looking into boarding services through www.Rover.com.

Can I leave my boat anchored in the lake overnight?
While some people do anchor their boats in the lake overnight, we recommend against it as unpredictable storms in Bear Lake have caused many boats to sink or drift away. If you’re looking for a safe and secure place to park your boat during your stay, Bear Lake State Park in Utah does have some slips available for rent. However, these slips go quickly and must be reserved in advance. You can contact Bear Lake State Park at 435-946-3343 or by email at bearlake@utah.gov to reserve a slip for your boat. We highly recommend making reservations early to ensure availability during your stay.
Where can I launch my watercraft?
If you’re looking to launch your boat during your stay with us, there are a few options available. Please note that all launch ramps are water-level permitting and it is important to follow state park regulations to avoid fines and other issues when launching from shore.
Here are some recommended locations for launching your boat:
Garden City Park
Bear Lake State Park
Rendezvous Beach
North Beach
It is important to note that launching vehicles on sandy beaches using trucks or SUVs is strictly prohibited and can result in significant fines. Furthermore, such actions often lead to vehicles becoming stuck in the sand, necessitating expensive towing services for their retrieval.
Can you cater our meals?
While we do not offer catering services directly, our team at Bear Lake Luxury Rentals has partnered with several reputable restaurants and catering companies in the area to provide our guests with exceptional dining experiences. Whether you’re looking to host a family gathering or a special event during your stay, we can help you find the perfect caterer to suit your needs.

Can I park an RV in the driveway for extra people?
Unfortunately, Bear Lake Luxury Rentals does not allow, RVs, camp trailers, and tents at any of our short-term rental properties. Additionally, our occupancy numbers are firm and we cannot overbook the occupancy of a home. We understand that you may want to bring additional guests or have extra space for your belongings during your stay, but we kindly ask that you adhere to our policies and respect the local regulations.

Do I need to bring all my groceries with me or is there a grocery store there?
If you’re wondering whether or not to bring groceries with you, we’d like to let you know that guests are welcome to do so. All of our rental properties come equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, including appliances, cookware, and utensils. Bringing your own groceries can be a great way to save money and ensure that you have all the food and drinks you need during your stay.
That being said, if you prefer not to bring your own groceries or need additional supplies during your stay, there are multiple grocery stores in the Bear Lake area with great selections. Some of our favorites include Mike’s Market and Bear Lake Market in Garden City and Broulims Family Market in Montpelier. Each store offers a variety of fresh produce, meats, dairy products, snacks, and beverages.

Do I need to bring my own beach chairs and towels?
At Bear Lake Luxury Rentals, we strive to provide our guests with the best possible experience during their stay. That’s why we offer luxury plush bath towels for in-home use only. We want our guests to feel pampered and comfortable during their stay with us, and our plush towels are just one of the ways we achieve that goal.
However, we kindly ask that guests do not take these towels down to the beach as they can get stained or ruined by sand and lake water. If you’re planning on spending time at the beach during your stay, we recommend bringing your own beach towels to ensure you have everything you need for a comfortable day by the water.
Additionally, please note that we do not provide beach chairs for our guests. We understand that some guests may prefer to relax in a chair while soaking up the sun, but unfortunately, we do not have any available for use.
