About this property

Family Time Lodge: Indoor Playland, Theater Room, Game Room, 10 Master Suites

Simply one of the best and most well-known cabins on the entire lake. At over 10,000 square feet on just two levels it is one of the largest and most spacious cabins available to rent in all of Bear Lake. This is 30%-40% larger than other 6,000-8,000 SF properties that are advertised on VRBO and your family will feel and enjoy the difference! With 13 bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, and 7 water heaters this place was made to handle large groups and still has plenty of space left over for everything needed to keep your group entertained including a home theater room, game room(pool table, Foosball, air hockey, xbox), indoor children’s play room and arcade room, card playing room, as well as two living rooms.

The cabin is conveniently located right on the famous Bear Lake Scenic Bike Trail The whole family will enjoy being able to take a short bike ride into Garden City for treats, shakes, or just to explore. It is also close to the Garden City Park which has beach access and is a great place for the teenagers to go hang out when the rest of the family needs a break.

The kids will love the large INDOOR CHILDREN'S PLAYLAND with a rock climbing wall, arcade games for the older kids (or adults who are still kids at heart), custom indoor treehouse with slides, and plenty of toys for the little ones.

Another feature of this home is the huge theater room which is the perfect place to enjoy a movie night or watch the big game! It can also double as a large gathering area or meeting area for your large group. Also, enjoy 80" flat screen TVs in two of the gathering areas, including above a beautiful mantle over three side-by-side fireplaces in the living area, and in the game room where they can play Xbox or watch a movie while playing pool, air hockey, or foosball. The xbox in the game room comes loaded with over 100 games for children of all ages.

The kitchen is a chefs dream and features three fridges, 2 sets of double ovens (5 ovens total), 2 gas cooktops, double dishwashers, and double sinks. Everything you need to cook for a large group of people. It also includes a large dining area perfect to feed a large group with overflow seating both indoors when needed as well as the outdoor patio which is adjacent to the dining area.

The property sits on .75 acres and has a large back yard with a swing set for the kids and large patio/dining area for outdoor bbq’s. There are two grills on the back patio, one of which is a large 8 burner commercial event grill which can cook up to 65 hamburgers at a time. There is also a fireplace on the patio to enjoy at night and provides a great place for the family to cook s'mores.

The bedrooms are the reason this place is called True Luxury. Of the 13 bedrooms, 10 of them are themed suites. Each suite has a comfy King or Queen pillowtop mattress, and each suite features it's very own bathroom. Each suite also has its very own flat screen TV. And the beautiful back yard has lots of room for the family to play. There's plenty of parking around the house (20 parking spaces total). Of course all linens and towels are provided, and laundry rooms with washers and dryers are on each level. Internet connection provided. No smoking, no pets. Maximum guests: 65.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home.We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was fantastic with 3 refrigerators and 5 ovens. We didn't have any kids with us, so the play areas didn't get used, but my kids definitely would have been entertained with everything they had to offer.

Amazing for Large Family Groups!

There was so much to do at this house. I never once had a room full of people on their phones! The moms of littlest especially appreciated the indoor play set.

Amazing house! We stayed here for a family reunion with our large family of 8 adult siblings and all our children (39 people total). There were beds and bedrooms enough for everyone. The number of en suite bathrooms was incredible as well. I loved that there were several different gathering spaces people could hang out in. There were a couple minor plumbing issues while we were there, but they were resolved in an impressively timely fashion.

Family Time Lodge is an amazing place!!!

Our family group of 58 (ages 1 to 85) had a wonderful time staying at Family Time Lodge! It was big, roomy, clean, and had so many fun amenities! The kids loved the play room and everyone loved the game room and the theater room. The weather was a bit cool the first night, so we couldn't use the patio, but we did the other nights. The rooms with themes were fun. But the very best thing was the manager, Robin. She was delightful! Every contact we had with her was great. She was always pleasant, helpful, and responded quickly. We certainly plan to stay there again.

Tons of Fun

This place is huge!!! We were half expecting it but still caught it gaurd as we walked through it. The kids had an absolute blast exploring the house when we first arrived. They would get la little lost sometimes the first day but eventually figured out where everything was. The little ones loved the playroom which gave the adults some quite time to play games and visit. We created some amazing memories and had a great time. I would highly recommend this place to anyone!

An amazing place!

Overall, this place is amazing. We had a very good experience with our family of 38. Everyone had a bed to sleep in. There is lots of room to play, visit, gather, and chill. The kitchen was stocked well with dishes, cookware, and utensils. Three fridges and 4 ovens are great. The backyard is great for cornhole, etc. and the little kids loved the playset. There were things that caused ratings less than all five stars: The place could use a good deep cleaning and there were some little things that detracted like dead batteries in some of the tv remotes, sinks that drained slowly, and no puck in the air hockey game, to mention a few. These things were minor distractions so the place is great.

Great for a large group!

We rented this property for our company retreat. The common area is spacious and kitchen is perfect for preparing large meals. The rooms were clean, but only a couple had towels. We had to hunt down and distribute bath towels, most of which looked like they were just old beach towels that previous visitors had left behind. Also, the remotes in all of the common areas had dead batteries. Parking was better than we expected and the outdoor area was great. Byron was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions and requests. Overall it was what we were hoping for and fit our needs well. We would definitely consider coming back for future events!

Amazing Family Vacation Destination

We can’t say enough good about this home. We gathered with 24 family members, including small children, and everyone had fun. Highlights: • Nine of the “master” bedrooms all had private baths and many with adjoining bunk bed rooms. • A huge theater (150” screen) with 18 comfortable seats. • A playground area the toddlers and children loved. • Pool, air hockey, and foosball that adults also enjoyed. • New large outdoor playground with slides and swings. • Multiple large gathering spaces indoors and on the back patio. One couch seated everyone comfortably. • A kitchen with three refrigerators and five ovens. Lots of room! • Big screen TVs in every room and all over the house. • Great owner communication, but didn’t have too many questions because the house manual was very complete. • Plenty of quiet corners for those who wanted some alone time. • This house could easily accommodate a much larger group. • We plan to return to this VRBO in the future.

Great family reunion house

You can not beat the space this house provides. Almost every room has an en suite. Lots of space for kids to play no matter their age. New sofas up stairs and down stairs were an awesome upgrade! Grills were dirty both times we had a reunion. Empty propane tanks both time as well. We spent about 45 minutes hauling, hooking and unhooking propane tanks. Not a deal breaker but annoying…especIlly two years in a row. The management is remote so I would double check with them before your arrival that the tanks are full and the grills are clean (the small grill has been dirty two years in a row on our arrival) working and ready to go for your group. The second time we stayed there was no garbage bags or paper towels. A minimal problem but a little annoying to have to go to the store for items that should be stocked. Otherwise the house is great! Lots of fun for everyone!!! Theatre room, playground, pool table (oh yeah, none of the pool sticks had tips and management just said “sorry. They don’t arrive till next week.” Older kids were bummed) I would definitely recommend this house BUT I would make contact with management prior to your arrival and ensure the house is actually ready. Grills, propane, pool stick tips, paper supplies,etc. If you think you are going to use something on the amenities list I would call before hand and make sure it’s in working condition! Have fun!!!!!

Overall: 4.5/5 The host was very responsive to inquiries and outreach. She was also very accommodating. We reserved this location for a family reunion, and it was perfect for our large group. We had every age group from baby to grandpa, and everyone had something fun for their age! The playroom, outdoor playground, games, arcade, theater, spaces for chatting…it was perfect! The group communal meeting spaces, private bathrooms and bedrooms, large kitchen, and kid playroom set this location apart from other venues we considered. Downsides: However, the description about amenities and check out times didn’t quite match what was there. The host said she is working on correcting that. And there are no extra sheets or towels available, so definitely bring your own if you need extras. There was one bed that appeared to have dirty sheets when we arrived on site for check in, and there weren’t pillow cases for some of the extra pillows in the closets. Not all rooms have shampoo/conditioner, so you’ll want to bring that, too. And while the playroom had lots of toys, some of them were a partially broken/overused. it would be even better if some of the toys were updated. But other than that, the venue was amazing and meet all of our needs. We all had a wonderful time. It was our best reunion to date, in large part bc of the venue. This property is spacious, beautiful, and fun!
