I Loved this Motel! It was so nice to pull car right to my door and the system to get in and out my door worked great. The room itself was so clean and comfortable. Loved having an extra sink also. Which I had came in the summer and been able to use pool. Owner has done a great job on this place. Will highly recommend to family and friends coming in. Fabulous bed too!

The room was updated and spacious. We liked the second sink to help our family get ready quicker. We liked having Netflix available. We would stay here again.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating, even when Expedia wasn’t. I’ll book with Motel Bear Lake again, but never with Expedia!

Motel on the lake
I typically don’t like staying at Motels because of the exterior door on the outside. This place has recently been updated and except for having no lobby and no one on the property it was a pleasant stay.
