LAKEFRONT Castle on the Lake | 10BR Sleeps 50 | Private Beach, Hot Tub, Theater & Fire Pit

Your Own Private Piece of Bear Lake

Castle on the Lake isn't just lakefront—it's YOUR lakefront. This 10-bedroom estate sits directly on the shores of Bear Lake with private beach access, meaning your family walks out the back door and into the turquoise water. No driving. No parking. No fighting for space at a public beach.
Launch Your Watercraft From the Property
Bring your jet skis, paddleboards, kayaks, or boats and launch directly from the property into Bear Lake. While other families trailer to crowded boat ramps, yours is already on the water. This is the Bear Lake experience families dream about—and the reason Castle on the Lake books a year in advance.

Built for Big Family Reunions
At 10 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms across multiple levels, Castle on the Lake comfortably sleeps 39 guests (50 max). This isn't a cabin where cousins fight for space—it's an estate designed for large groups to spread out, gather together, and create memories that last generations.
The dedicated kids' bunk room with 9 twin beds gives the younger generation their own space. The master suite includes a private lookout over the lake and electric fireplace. Multiple gathering areas mean the grandparents can relax while the teenagers hang out elsewhere.

Entertainment for Every Generation
The theater room brings movie nights to life for the whole family. After sunset, gather around the outdoor fire pit with the lake as your backdrop. When you need to unwind, the private hot tub on the large deck delivers—complete with those famous Bear Lake views.

Reunions, Weddings & Retreats
The combination of private lakefront, massive capacity, elegant finishes, and multiple gathering spaces makes Castle on the Lake ideal for family reunions and small private weddings. Corporate retreat planners take note: 13-vehicle parking, WiFi throughout, and the kind of setting that makes team-building feel effortless.

This property was absolutely breathtaking. From the moment we got to the property, I knew this was going to be a special place. There was everything you could have asked for in a friend gathering and would go back in a heartbeat if I have the opportunity!

Great Location

Fantastic sprawling house with enough room for a family reunion. Plenty of dishes and cookware for dining in. There were not enough towels for everyone to shower. Hand soap was provided, but no soap/body wash or shampoo for the showers/baths. We were told there were 2 washers and 2 dryers for laundry but found only one set hooked up. Another set was there but not hooked up to anything. Getting windows and doors to open and then latch closed is tricky. Despite those minor issues, we would definitely have another group stay.

Great place to stay right on the lake

We really enjoyed this property. It is truly like a castle. We rented a boat and everyone was able to load and unload from the property (they had to wade in about chest high water due to low water levels in Bear Lake). The hot tub was operational. The rooms were comfortable. The kitchen was perfect and there was plenty of seating in the common area. The internet was really bad and cell reception was also a challenge. So, if you are planning to watch movies, you may want to bring DVDs. Parents with babies in our group didn't like the marble stairs.

Great family vacation

The property was a great venue for hosting a large family vacation. The property is spacious and provided enough room for lots of family activities (e.g. games, corn hole, outside picnic benches). The kitchen was wonderful -- really appreciated the fact that there were more than enough plates, utensils, glasses, etc. AND that there were three dishwashers on site. Everyone had a great time being together in one place. Thank you.
