Our family had the best time staying at Bear River Hot Springs! The rooms were clean, and had everything we needed to prepare our food, clean our clothes, and entertain ourselves (they had ping pong in the living room, as well as air hockey, puzzles, Kub, etc.). The hot springs/pools were perfect for everyone in our family - from our 6-year-old to our 48-year-old! The six-year-old is just learning to swim and was able to walk throughout the length of the hot spring pools when they needed to. The staff were warm and so helpful. They were even able to accommodate us when we arrived at an unexpected time. We're excited to visit there again soon!

This place was a perfect family spot! It is a hot spring, which was a little slimy but not off putting. It was great for the littles to jump and splash in while also being so thing for the adults. The room (hotel bit) was perfect for my family of 4. I love the idea of going back and trying the cabins. It was an easy beautiful (less than 1hr drive) to bear lake, and also easy drive to Logan. Perfect little get away.

The bedding had poo stains on it. I had to drive 40 minutes away to buy new bedding at wal mart. Hoping we could still stay. NOPE! We left early because the high amout of bugs in the hotel I woke up 4 times to bugs crawling on me. I dont think the hot pools have ever been cleaned. And the cold pool is falling apart. The slides stairs are mildew. Only one slide works. And no one enforces rules. People just zoom down the slide when ever they feel like it even if there are already people going down.

The pool and hot tub could use a cleaning as they are natural springs the algae growth made it slippery, then charging guest to soak on top of the charge to stay when that’s the whole attraction of staying at the hotel and the hours of operation are less than appealing. We stayed with the intention of a early morning soak (I.e 7am) and then leaving on our journey and we was informed that the pool doesn’t open until 10am and if you wanna soak you get one hour before you either pay again or leave. This policy is off putting as guest can’t enjoy the amenities that draw us there. Maybe make a guest entrance to the pool area for guest to access or keep someone on site while guest are staying. The country ambience can be overwhelming at times depending on the wind.

We had such a good time, while staying at BRHS. The room was as described with amenities and we were welcomed with a warm heat setting during a cold winter day. The staff were professional and friendly. The facility was well maintained and inviting to all. One suggestion would be to include use of the hot springs with the room rate instead of separate. As the reason for renting a room was to use the hot springs.

Dishes left in dish washer. Couch kept collapsing in on itself which made it hard to sit and enjoy a movie. Not enough silverware. Hot springs was amazing and we really enjoyed swimming and relaxing. Would stay here again just hope they clean the room a little more and maybe update some things.

The cabin was a nice step above tent camping with a bed, a big, modern flat screen TV, Keurig coffee machine with good dark roast and other coffee pods, microwave, refrigerator, air conditioner, and heater. The bed was like sleeping on an air mattress, soft and squishy. Bathroom was conveniently located in a separate building and the shower was in the pool, hot springs area. Friendly place, and a nice area to walk around enjoying the ID air.

We stayed in one of the adorable tiny cabins, and we must not have read carefully because we were surprised to find that there was no bathroom inside our little cabin. It was not a huge deal, though. We just used the facilities that were across the parking lot. They were fairly clean and overall felt pretty safe. The room was very hot initially, but the window air conditioner cooled it down pretty quickly. Really the only issues we had during the night werw the very intermittent Wi-Fi and the absolute lack of any cell service. This place is definitely off the beaten track, and it was actually nice to unplug for a night. One other possibly significant issue: the TV's reception was terrible, so accessing Netflix was difficult.The next day, we had a blast in the pools and on the water slide. The staff was super helpful, and we really appreciated the $15 food credit. Don't miss the soft serve ice cream 🙂 Overall, it was not a bad experience, especially for the price. We would do it again!

Likely not twice

The young man who did my check in was less than polite. I had requested a ground floor room but was on the upper level instead. He did not offer to see if there was something available on the ground floor. The hotel does not have an elevator and I have breathing issues. I had to navigate 20 outdoor steps to reach the second floor and my room. As for the room, it was neat and clean. The floors were clean, the beds nicely made. The fridge and microwave both worked fine. The shower was quite large and worked very well. There is a sign in the bathroom about hot water stating it takes time to heat the shower water so it has to be turned on to let run for at least 10 minutes. The warning was nice so I didn't step into a cold shower.
The beds were another story. Both beds were much too soft! I like a very firm mattress, rather than one I can sink into.

Most the staff was young and very helpful. But the lobby and property did seem like a young hangout and all their buddies showed up. Unfortunately our sink leaked, I told them they got on it, unfortunately it still continued to leak. No hot water for our shower in our room, manager said to run the water 10-20 mins. Still didn’t have hot water in the hotel until late the second day. Toilet had issue flushing kept having to take the back off. It said to leave trash outside door. I ended up throwing my trash away in a larger trash can because it wasn’t picked up and I had to use a grocery bag to replace my garage with. Hot springs opened at 11am. No extra accommodations for their hotel guess. Friday and Saturday so busy with the public. Talked with multiple hotel guest they were surprised it didn’t have extra accommodation for them as well definitely not enjoyable. Would have been nice if hotel guess had the option to access the hot-springs earlier than public. Definitely will never go back or recommend unless it’s a stop thru.

Beware of Pool Hours Before Booking

We packed the family up for two days swimming at the hot springs. Unfortunately the hot springs closed at 7pm the day we arrived and didn't open until well after our check out time the second day. Due to unforseen issues, we didn't arrive until 6:45pm. A disappointing trip. We got less than twenty minutes of swimming our entire stay. We are from Logan so the hotel room became unnecessary.

The room was nice. The room we originally booked was not cleaned, so we moved rooms upstairs. The room was sweltering hot at 86 degrees when we arrived (it was 20 degrees outside in Jan).
The shower was enjoyable, but did have quite a bit of hair from the last guests.
I did not find the pillows or bed comfortable. I did not sleep well.

Overall, bad planning on our part. The room was nice, but we were looking forward to lots of swimming and time with family in the hot springs. Instead we were stuck in the hotel room due to the springs not being open during our stay.
