Bear Springs Retreat

Welcome to Bear Springs Retreat — Your Ultimate Cache Valley Escape!

Nestled on 27 acres of serene private land in the heart of Cache Valley, Bear Springs Retreat offers a one-of-a-kind getaway surrounded by lush farmland, natural springs, and breathtaking mountain views. With over 10,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this expansive "barndominium" is the perfect setting for unforgettable family reunions, wedding celebrations, or gatherings with friends — big or small.

Spacious Comfort & Rustic Elegance
The main floor boasts a generous open-concept layout featuring a cozy living room, a large dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen stocked with all the appliances and tools you’ll need for group meals or catered events.

Signature Suites
Two luxurious master bedrooms — affectionately named the Papa Bear and Mama Bear suites — each include a king-size bed, a bunk bed, and a private bathroom for ultimate comfort and privacy.

Upstairs Adventures
Four charming bear-themed bedrooms await on the upper level, delighting both kids and adults alike. A spacious loft area is stocked with games, toys, and books to keep young guests entertained for hours.

Entertainment for All Ages
Head downstairs to enjoy a 14-seat home theater with tiered seating, a 10-foot projection screen, and immersive 7.1 surround sound. The adjacent game room is packed with fun — ping-pong, air hockey, foosball, skee ball, basketball arcade, and classic video games.

Room for Everyone
Two large bunk rooms in the basement comfortably sleep 10 and 12 guests, making it easy to accommodate large groups.

Outdoor Fun & Fireside Memories
Explore the property’s playground paradise featuring a two-story playhouse, swings, slides, and a volleyball/badminton net. As the sun sets, gather around the outdoor fireplace to roast marshmallows and soak in the peaceful mountain views.
Whether you're planning a celebration or simply seeking a peaceful retreat, Bear Springs Retreat is your perfect home away from home.

Amazing Facility - Will be Back

This is our third time staying at this property and we have loved it every time. The house is well equipped, private and perfect for large families. There is plenty of space to spread out so you don't feel like you are on top of each other but the main spaces are large enough that everyone can get together. Great Location!

Great for Family Reunions

We had a wonderful time at Bear Springs Retreat. We had 45 people in our group and the accommodations met all of our needs. Plenty of room to relax, play, eat, prepare meals, etc. We happened to be there when summer storms knocked out the power twice and our host was great to keep us informed and help us with anything we needed during our stay.

Family Reunion

We cannot say enough good things about our stay here! The hosts have truly thought of everything to make the stay so fun and comfortable. The pictures do not do it justice. It is absolutely stunning and they have thought of every detail. We had a very large group with all ages and everyone found something fun to do. We also were able to host a dinner with even more extended family. The hosts are so kind of easy to work with. This home is perfect family gathering places while allowing space to separate and explore.

Great place for a family reunion

It was the perfect spot for our family reunion! We had adults, teens, and small children. The kids had plenty of places to play and had lots of things they could do including the game room and toys and games, as well as a big lawn to play in. There are several rooms with both larger beds and bunk beds so younger children could sleep with their parents. The kitchen is well equipped so we could feed and seat everyone easily. The property is very well maintained and the owner was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Cache Valley Paradise!

We rented the Bear Springs Retreat as a central gathering place for our daughter's graduation from Utah State. The property and location were amazing and checked all the boxes. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone, plus all the activities you could hope for for kids and adults alike. Tons of space and amenities! Everyone in our group loved this place!! Mountain views from every angle and you are far enough outside of town to enjoy the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
