f you're looking for a truly unique and peaceful hot springs experience, Maple Grove Hot Springs is…read moresomething special. We visited expecting a simple soak, but it turned into one of the most relaxing and memorable stops on our trip. The setting alone is incredible--nestled along the Bear River with canyon views that make you feel completely removed from everything. The mineral pools are natural and range in temperature, so you can move around and find your perfect spot. The water is rich in minerals and feels amazing, especially after a long day of exploring. What really stood out was how intentional the whole experience is. They limit the number of guests and require reservations, so it never feels crowded or chaotic--just calm, quiet, and honestly kind of magical. We also loved that you can turn it into more than just a quick visit. Between the camping, yurts, and cabins, it's easy to stay overnight and fully unplug in nature. Overall, Maple Grove feels like a hidden wellness retreat rather than just a hot spring. If you're looking to relax, recharge, and soak in some of Idaho's best scenery, this place absolutely delivers. Check out our video on our socials @reessroots

Would love more detailed pictures of rooms and extra bed/futons. Basement was really cold during the night, just use extra blankets! As a side note: You have to have 4 wheel drive vehicles to get up to the place in the winter. We had to park one vehicle down at the base, and use the 4 wheel drive to get everyone up. We had a awesome stay and would totally recommend it to anyone!!! We also had snowmobile rental during our stay and the customer service was excellent!

I booked three nights through Bear Lake Cabin Rentals. We received a friendly greeting when picking…read moreup our keys at the office and were looking forward to settling in quickly for the night after a nine hour drive. We brought all of our stuff up to the condo and started looking around. As I opened the refrigerator door to start putting our food, the overwhelming smell of tuna hit my nose. I opened the freezer, and it was in need of a good defrost and cleaning--- there were yellow and orange/pinkish spills frozen into it. Our exploration of the condo further made us uneasy with it's uncleanliness. I called and left a message on the voicemail stating the uncleanliness of the condo and for a call back. When the property personnel called us back, they asked what was wrong, and while I was on the phone with them, housekeeping showed up. This was an entirely awkward situation as a. as a customer, I didn't feel that I should have to laundry list what was wrong with the condo in order to justify my uneasiness at how unclean it was and b. how awkward to have the person whose job you are complaining about suddenly show up at your door. I left the property personnel know we were deeply uncomfortable staying in a the condo because of it's uncleanliness and were thinking of staying elsewhere. She mentioned they had another condo over the way available for $479 vs. the ~$412 we paid, because it was two bath two bed. We let the housekeeper know we would be going to check out the other condo and if it was not satisfactory, would be leaving, so there was no need for her to stay. We did decide to take the other condo, but I had to ask for the same price rate because otherwise I would have had to pay to 'upgrade', which wasn't our intent--- we just wanted to stay in a clean place. I felt that making us pay for something that was the companies fault was poor customer service and that it should have been offered as such in the first place. After settling into the other condo we noticed that most of the dishes were dirty and had food stuck onto them and that someone could easily break through the front door. When you opened the door part of the door sealer moved and you could see inside the jam and inside the condo. When we left, we followed the instructions to leave the place generally clean, but could not get the washer to work. Just waiting for the $50 dollar charge to show up on my credit card for this. My thought is, if you want the customer to leave the place generally clean, does the company even clean afterwards? Judging by these two condos, there are definitely some oversights and I won't recommend or stay here again.

Probably cleaner than a lake or river but growing up they would drain it daily and the water was beautiful. My husband slipped on the steps with my baby in his arms. If he wasn't a fit dude this would have ended badly. Please to the owners. Get control of the algae. If this pool was filtered and clean this review would be 5 stars. The Olympic pool is cold at first but hey it's Idaho not Florida. Awesome old school slide. Friendly staff and lots of tables to hang and eat with the family.

We stayed in both the Safari suite (don't recommend due to it's proximity to the main area, unless it's going to be a quiet night at the Inn) and the Nautical family suite. Both were very comfortable, modern and decorated nicely for the theme. Each had a fireplace and large screen TV with DVD player. There is also a game room, and a decent selection of free DVD's and books to borrow; as well as a couple of common areas with sofas, fireplace and big screen TV. The chef, Brittany was a big surprise for such a small city . Can't say enough about the food in Kersama Restaurant, so I'll just say everything we had over the course of the two night stay was excellent. Her husband Jesse worked well with her and served as the bartender and waiter, provided great service. Carol, one of the owners, was the perfect hostess. We had one slight glitch, and it was rectified immediately with no question. She was like a personal tour guide, suggesting where to go and what to do. Bear Lake is beautiful, and this is a wonderful place to stay if you are in the area.

It is a great place to stay where you may have a group of folks where each room has lockable doors but you can still easily hang out of you want to. I didn't go upstairs but I believe there are 5 rooms in total. We have it booked again for next year and I hope to be lucky enough to be part of the group staying there again :).

Not as advertised. The pool was a construction site. We paid…read morepremium peak-season rates for Averon Lodge over July 4th for 25 guests. Starting in mid-May we asked repeatedly if the pool house would be ready, and were told in writing it would be "completed before your July 3 arrival." Only five days before check-in did they finally tell us the pool would not be ready, offering a full refund to cancel or $1400 back. To be fair, they made the offer - but five days out, with 25 people who had rearranged schedules, booked flights, and food already purchased, canceling was not a real option. That disclosure should have come weeks earlier, when we were asking directly and being reassured instead. The pool house wasn't just unfinished - it was an active construction site: open framing, a boom lift parked inside, dirt floors, and exposed sheathing, completely unusable all weekend (photos attached). Inside the main home, workers were still on-site when we arrived, furniture and materials were piled in the living areas, floors were dirty, and check-in was delayed. We asked twice for a mop while their crews were there. Never got one. The listing shows three grills - there were none. One small grill was assembled the day we arrived, far too small for our group, so we cooked every meal in rotation. Two coffee makers advertised: zero, and no mugs. Most lamps had no bulbs. The theater room didn't work, the projector sound system didn't work even following their instructions, and the oven ran roughly 50 degrees below its set temperature - verified with our own thermometer and photographed. Staff were polite throughout and the $1400 partial refund was appreciated, but a last-minute refund offer doesn't undo six weeks of reassurances or a weekend of workarounds at a property marketed as a luxury estate. The entire state of the property was misrepresented - not just the pool. Get every promise in writing before booking, and don't count on it even then.

We had a group of 83 people and filled every single room, yet the house never felt cramped. There was more than enough space for everyone to sleep comfortably, hang out, and enjoy different activities at the same time. Everything was spotless when we arrived. The bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, gym, movie theater, and pool area were all extremely clean and felt almost brand new. You can tell the property is very well maintained and professionally managed. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made cooking for a large group easy, and all the amenities worked perfectly. The views were absolutely incredible -- waking up to the scenery around Bear Lake was one of the highlights of the trip. It really made the whole experience feel special and peaceful. The management team was also fantastic. They were responsive, friendly, and always available whenever we had questions or needed anything. That level of support made planning and hosting such a big group stress-free. Overall, this place was perfect for a large group retreat, family reunion, or event. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and would definitely book again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a spacious, beautiful, and well-managed property!

However, I had chosen Cabin #2 when we reserved it, and received Cabin #1 instead. Wasn't a big deal for us, but you may not get what you reserve. Parking seems rather limited for all of the cabins there. Cabin #1 does seem to have the best parking spot by the road. The cabin was cozy and had a refrigerator and microwave. The cabin was clean and stocked. They don't do any maid service while your there so it's on you to keep it clean. When you checkout your required to remove the towels and bed linens and leave them by the door, and take your trash to the street. Apparently they must want to come in, throw your dirty laundry in a bin, make the bed and call it clean. The refrigerator froze our breakfast and the small microwave struggled to reheat it. There was a trap door in the floor of the bathroom that went under the cabin I assume. It was bent and actually rocked a little when you walked on it. I was a little afraid of the crawling insects that might come out of it. The lights are also wired a little weird but functional. One of the wall logs you could see day light through. It needed to be resealed. We never once saw anyone else while staying here. Except the older men that drove through one morning who I assume were the owners. They didn't stop to say hi or anything, so I guess they don't care to ever speak to their guests. Check out is simply sending a text message to a number. Overall, I would probably stay there again, but I would probably look for better options first.
