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.

Just What We Were Looking For

This property did not disappoint. The kitchen was spacious and accommodated all the "cooks" in the family. The bedrooms were set up well and there was plenty of sleeping space. Activities for all ages--a playroom for little ones, arcade games for teenagers and grandpa, pool table, visiting nooks and a nice dining area for a few crafts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would book it again.

Best House Ever!

Our group of work colleagues with families had a great time. Robin responded quickly to our last minute questions. This was the first time every member of the under 12s came up to me individually and thanked me for picking a house they all enjoyed. The quote in the title was from one of the 5 year old guests. The rest of us enjoyed the amazing kitchen, the outdoor space, grills, and fire table. The added bonus was each family having a bedroom with a bathroom to settle into and lots of space for us to sit, play, and eat together. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend! Look forward to coming back!

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.

Perfect for a family reunion but needs to change their housekeeper

Our family had room to have lots of fun plus, also privacy in this large home with many en suite master bedrooms. This could be a great place with a more careful and attentive housekeeping team. We realize it is a large home to clean but a $600.00 cleaning fee should be enough to vacuum and mop well and provide clean bedding. From dirty linens and comforters to unclean flooring (including hair entangled in many of the carpeted areas), the cleanliness was a deterrent for returning here. The home needs some updating of kitchen supplies and more concern when amenities promised are no longer working or even there. All in all, the children had lots of fun. We overlooked the water running through the driveway leaving slippery moss in our paths since they said it was a problem they have asked the city to fix (but it has been there for quit awhile!) There is a need to mention, in the description, the unfenced drainage pond in the backyard that is definitely a safety concern for young children.

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 for large groups

The large number of master bedrooms was fantastic for our large group! Plenty of extra bedrooms as well, for the kids. Everyone loved the theater and game room. Communication was spotty at first, which I think was an issue with Vrbo. Once I was in contact with the property owner, communication was very quick and friendly. My group had about 45 people in it. A large room upstairs fit us well enough for a Christmas party. The house was decorated in a fun way for Christmas too! Downstairs there were several rooms for people to spread out for games and smaller group activities.

Entertainment rooms kept the many teens involved and laughing. The playroom captivated the young ones. The property lived up to every expectation.

Kido reunion

We love the house it is perfect. The amount of bedrooms and bathrooms were great, design awesome. We would’ve preferred to seeing more amenities in the kitchen, it was a little challenging for cooking, but overall very spacious and lots of room for storage. Our only real issues were, unable to use the tubs jets were moldy and we didn’t feel comfortable, The TVs were a little challenging and we couldn’t get some Verona to work, also outdoor fire pit didn’t work. The theater room was amazing. The game room and kids playroom. Everyone loved it bonus game room TV upstairs was nice bonus.

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!!!!!

Family Reunion

We had an amazing time at Family Time Lodge and recommend it highly. We had family members from ages 4 to 90 Every Bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a huge TV, more space and so creative with the themes of the bedrooms it was so nice having privacy to do your own thing Just a couple of cons to mention to make the stay perfect. 1. They need at least 1 handicapped toilet (taller) and bars to help them up, we had 6 seniors with us and that ended up being a big issue. The toilets on ground floor are all VERY low. 2. We could not get the theatre room to work, leave for future instructions and a trouble shoot person to contact. We hope we can return in the future and had a great time, thank you!

Why they chose this property

Simply one of the best and most well-known cabins on the entire lake. Great backyard. Close to the lake. Fun indoor amenities with a large indoor playland, toddler's toy room, huge theater room, game room, large gathering areas for dining, and lots of luxurious bedrooms. Close to the lake and right next to the Garden City bike path.

What makes this property unique

We loved this property as it was one of the only ones we could find that fit our entire family. At ~10,000 SF this house can easily handle a large group of all ages and still give everyone enough space to spread out and have a good time. Our family loves gathering here and we hope yours will to.
