Tucked into a wooded hillside, this private ONE-ACRE property offers privacy AND all of the year-round outdoor recreation you could ask for! Nearby golfing, boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, snowmobiling, hunting, skiing, and MORE! Sleeps a total of 25 between the main house and the cabin in the backyard.
This darling bucolic home has everything you are looking for to plan your summer getaway. Creekside Cottage is a short and scenic drive to North Beach so guests have easy access to the region's most popular destination; Bear Lake! (Also known as the Caribbean of the Rockies.)
While most of Bear Lake's tourists find short-term housing near the south end of the lake, this home is located in the opposite direction, providing respite from the crowds. The best of both worlds! You will not find a more charming vacation rental in Montpelier.
Main Level
Guests will enjoy the tall, open ceilings with skylights to allow natural light to stream in. Comfortable seating and gorgeous decor makes the living room on the main level the perfect place to gather. A half bath is connected to the living room.
In the kitchen, guests can eat and relax in the window nooks or around the table. The kitchen is well-stocked for preparing and serving meals. Out the back door, there is a large covered porch. Guests have access to the BBQ grill and patio furniture. The summer months are perfect to make memories while visiting under the pergola. Extra tables and chairs are available for all the seating you will need to dine and visit.
The master suite is located on the main floor with plenty of space, beautiful views through the large windows, a queen bed, and an en-suite bathroom with a shower, separate tub, double vanity, and spacious walk-in closet.
Upstairs
Fifteen guests can stay upstairs between the three bedrooms. The first bedroom has a full built-in bunk bed, a full bed, and a twin bed. Safety rails are available to easily attach to top bunks for extra peace of mind. The second upstairs bedroom has two built-in bunk beds (one full and one twin) and a desk. At the end of the hallway is a bedroom with a full bed. There is a 3/4 bathroom upstairs as well as a study nook with a desk and printer for guests who work remotely.
Basement
Guests who need more privacy can retreat to the basement where there is a secluded bedroom with a full bed. The bedroom is located down a hallway behind a door to shut out loud noises and commotion. There is a bathroom connected to the bedroom that can also be accessed from the hallway. The basement has a separate garage entrance as well.
The living room has a large sectional, smart TV, and children's play area with toys and books. The hosts have included everything that guests might need for a family vacation; life jackets, kayaks, yard games, basketballs, beach toys and towels, etc. Ask the host if there is anything specific you are hoping to borrow...it's most likely included in the home! All these amenities can be found in the storage closet in the basement.
There is no shortage of style and fun at this home! The only problem with this vacation rental will be getting your family to want to leave at the end of your stay.
The Property
Aspens envelop the entire one-acre property, and the home is almost completely camouflaged by trees from the road. Your group will have full privacy in the yard. A circular paved driveway allows plenty of parking spaces for families to gather. Guests are also welcome to use the small two-car garage. Bring your fishing poles and enjoy the creek at the back of the property! The creek is also great for swimming or floating. Children can play for hours outside on the lawn, trampoline, basketball hoop, and swing set. The Bear Lake Valley is perhaps the best place to view the unobstructed, clear, starry sky at night. You'll have to see it to believe it!
A century-old log cabin was restored and moved onto this property from another location in Bear Lake, and it can accommodate guests for sleeping and relaxing. There is one queen, one full, and two twin beds in the cabin.
