Grizzly Bear Cabin Troy and Karen Young's vacation home in Idaho. We also offer it as a short-term rental. Visit the we

We built Grizzly Bear Cabin in 2012, primarily to be used for our family reunions, get-togethers with friends, and work retreats. It features 10 bedrooms (14 beds), 6 bathrooms, a game room, and a home theater.

Look who just came to visit, right in our back yard!

Closer video of the crane. You can just see her chick behind her.

A sandhill crane came to visit this afternoon. We see them every year (usually a pair), but I've never seen one this close to the cabin--only about 50 feet away.

It's time to start preparing for the 2025 season. We were fortunate to get up there just as the choke cherry trees were in full bloom. They smell a lot like lilacs.

Update: No private beach this year, unfortunately, unless it recedes later in the summer.

Original post:
It looks like we may have a beach this summer! Contrary to early estimates, the current thinking is that Bear Lake will only rise to about 5,916-5,917 ft., which is the maximum height to still have some exposed beach at Grizzly Bear Cabin. The current elevation (June 5) is 5915.56 ft., and, as the graph below shows, most of the snow on the mountains has melted.
We love to see a beautiful deep Bear Lake, but we also like our beach. This year appears to be the perfect balance.

Getting ready for the 2023 season. It's been an extremely wet, cold winter. Everything is very green. Temperatures remain nice and cool, with highs in the high 60s.

The lawn is very lush and green, but it has more weeds (mostly dandelions) than I'd like. Working on that.

The cabin got water damage from ice dams, but fared much better than many structures in the area. We expect most repairs to be done by the second week of June, with some roofing work that can wait until the fall.

Oh, good. More snow. 🙄

We've gotten right around a foot of snow in Draper, Utah, so far (starting late last night), and it's still coming down. The fire hydrant in the middle of the picture is probably around 2' tall, for perspective. Snow is supposed to continue until around 7 pm.

The mountains already had a huge amount of snow--skiers are having a blast. We're almost exactly where we were in 2011 and just a little below 2017, when Bear Lake got filled close to capacity.

The first picture is our cul-de-sac at about 8 am this morning. The other two are the security camera pointed at our playset at Grizzly Bear Cabin...one this morning, and the other from October, so that you can gauge where the snow is.

It's a bit chilly up at Bear Lake this morning. Looking forward to Spring!
