Fish Haven Hideaway

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Soak up the quaint beauty of Southern Idaho and make yourself at home here in Fish Haven! As soon as you arrive, you will have no trouble kicking back and relaxing with loved ones with the stunning backdrop of Bear Lake that can be seen from nearly every room in the home.

Step out to the expansive back deck and you will see why this lakefront gem is set apart from the rest. Bring a glass of wine or a good book out and lounge on summer evenings just listening to the birds and wind. Any downtime spent indoors will be just as fun with an open layout ideal for entertaining, a fully equipped kitchen, an accommodating dining area, and a flatscreen TV in the living area for movie nights as the stars come out. An outdoor movie screen is perfect for Summer movie nights!

With beach access right outside your back door, there will be no delay in getting out on the water or casting a line out from the shore. When you want to venture out a bit more, grab a few necessities at the local grocery store in Fish Haven or make your way five miles south to Garden City. The golfers of the group will love the close proximity to Bear Lake West Golf Course as well for a quick round of nine. If you are feeling extra adventurous, ski to your heart's content at Beaver Mountain Ski Area (17 miles) or check out Minnetonka Cave (18 miles).

Great location and House
We enjoyed our short stay here. It was clean, comfortable and had a beautiful view of the lake. It was exactly as described and the reviews were accurate so it met our expectations.

Nice lake retreat
This is a nice, private get-away with a beautiful view. It was clean and very comfortable. The only drawback was the poor window coverings. Some windows had no covering and others did not work. But in spite of that, we enjoyed our stay. Very nice deck, shaded much of the day. We would definitely stay again.

Great little home.
No vehicle access to the beach which is a HUGE bummer but house was awesome. Many pieces of furniture were broken so watch out for that. But beds were comfy and it fits a lot of people. I'd stay here again.

Overall, a solid choice - few issues due to it being a new listing
The place was located in a great spot - about a 7 min drive to North Beach and 5 min drive to downtown Garden City for groceries/supplies. You can tell it's been renovated and a lot is new. The back deck is shaded in the afternoon so we spent a lot of time sitting out there, enjoying the lake view. There were a few things that surprised us, considering we've stayed at a number of places now. The kitchen was not stocked all that well (limited pots/pans, only salt/pepper, only one backup roll of paper towels, etc.). Also, the listing talks about beach access out the back door. This is technically true. However, it is NOT the type of "sand in your toes" beach you'll get in other areas of the lake. The water level is too high and therefore, the beach is more of an "in the lilies, need sandals to walk out there, and perhaps some bug spray" beach. If the water level is lower, perhaps it's a better beach (I don't knock the listing too much for this because obviously, the water levels are not something that they can control). Make sure you take note of no A/C in the house. We were here in mid-June and felt low 50s in the evening with windows open and fans running would cool the place down - we were mildly successful but that was only with highs in the low 80s. If it's warmer days in July/August, I'd be prepared for some warm nights. I do want to say, the place was super clean, with a lot of great things going for it - including the price. It's really a solid place at a great price but just needs a bit more time to work through some of the kinks of being a new listing. We would stay again because we know that these few things, outside of the A/C, are relatively minor.
