Here in Utah, we have some incredible lakes for a day on the water. One of the best is the beautiful Bear Lake. Located in northern Utah and crossing into Idaho, this gorgeous body of water is one of the top getaway destinations in the state. And while I am always up for a day trip to Bear Lake, I particularly love staying for an entire weekend. The Retreat on Badger is a cozy cabin and one of the best cabin rentals in Utah. It’s large enough for the entire family, has everything you need for a weekend away, and the views are stunning. It’s perfect for a water-filled weekend with your entire family.

The Retreat on Badger is a beautiful cabin rental located in Garden City, Utah. This cabin is large enough for the entire family as it features five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

But my favorite spot is the deck.

The large deck is where you can sit back and enjoy gorgeous lake views. Whether it is summer or winter, the views from here are spectacular.

Although, you won’t want to spend all of your time at the cabin. When at Bear Lake, you’ll certainly want to spend some time down at the water.

Swim, boat, or just float in the water — it's pure bliss. This is also a fun place to put in a canoe, kayak, or stand-up paddleboard.
Bear Lake also features some of the beaches in Utah. Just a short drive from this cabin is the beautiful Rendezvous Beach and Ideal Beach.

And, of course, you must stop at La Beau’s for a raspberry milkshake. This is my favorite thing to do when visiting Bear Lake.
