The Bears Den! Walking distance to beach, private day rental marina, 5 Bedroom

Bear Lake is one of the West’s best-kept secrets — and this is one of the best spots on the lake to experience it. Tucked on the quieter east shore in Fish Haven, Idaho, this modern 5-bedroom home sleeps 16 and puts your group steps away from turquoise water, a private beach, and East Shore Marina.

Whether your crew wants to fill every day with adventure or simply unwind on a deck with a view, this house gives you the space, the comfort, and the location to do it.

The Space
At 2,623 sq ft, this open-concept home is designed for big groups who don’t want to feel cramped.

Two furnished decks are the perfect place for morning coffee, evening drinks, or just soaking in the famous Bear Lake turquoise.

Two separate living areas give everyone room to spread out. A fully equipped kitchen means you can feed the whole group without making every meal a restaurant run.

Bear Lake by Season
Summer (June – August)
Peak season on Bear Lake. The turquoise water is at its best for swimming, wakeboarding, skiing, and tubing. Long, warm evenings on the deck. Walk to the beach when the mood strikes.
Spring (May – June)
Wildflowers in bloom, the lake coming alive, and the best fishing of the year. Crowds are minimal and the valley is breathtakingly green.
Fall (September – October)
Trophy fishing, glassy water, and canyon colors that rival anything in the Rockies. Fall is arguably the most beautiful time to visit Bear Lake.
Winter
Ice fishing on the lake, snowmobiling in the valley, and ski days at nearby Beaver Mountain. A truly four-season destination.

Perfect For
Large family reunions, multi-family group trips, friend getaways, and anyone who wants a stunning, well-equipped home base for exploring Bear Lake. The east shore location means a quieter, more private experience — with everything you need close by.
