The Cabins at Bear River Lodge

A Riverside Log Cabin Resort

The Cabins at Bear River Lodge sits at Mile Marker 49 on UT-150, a stretch of highway that climbs into Summit County's high country outside Kamas. Google reviews (4.6/5 from 392 ratings) describe it as a remote, riverside lodge property, with log cabins as the accommodation type rather than hotel-style condo blocks. On site there's a restaurant and a small store alongside the lodging, plus snowmobile rentals in winter and direct access to forest trails — this is a self-contained base rather than a resort built around a pool deck.

Kamas and the Summit County Backcountry

Kamas is a small gateway town at the foot of the Wasatch Back, used by locals as the quieter route into the mountains compared with the Park City side. Summit County itself runs from this kind of forested, river-fed backcountry right through to the ski towns a short drive away: Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley Resort are both roughly 6–7 miles (10–12 km) off, and Historic Park City's old Main Street, galleries and restaurants are about 9 miles (14 km) away. Further afield, Bear Lake (around 28 miles / 45 km) is a popular summer swimming and boating spot, and the Bonneville Salt Flats make an unusual full-day trip if you're willing to drive about 80 miles (130 km). Around the lodge itself, expect hiking and fly fishing in the warmer months, snowmobiling and winter driving on mountain roads in the colder months, and the kind of forest-and-river scenery that doesn't depend on ski lifts to be worth the trip.

Selling or Renting Out Your Week

If you own a week at The Cabins at Bear River Lodge and want to sell or rent it out, you can list it directly on BidMyTimeshare.com: there's no commission on the sale, just a one-time listing fee, and you set your own asking price. Buyers and renters contact you through the platform rather than going through a broker, which keeps the process straightforward for a smaller, independent property like this one.

Because the resort is independent rather than part of a major branded chain, resale here typically goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a corporate transfer desk. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort: the transfer fee charged to move the deed or membership into a new owner's name, the current annual maintenance fee and any dues owing, and whether the association holds a right of first refusal on resales. These details vary by property and can change, so treat anything quoted informally as provisional until the resort confirms it in writing.

What a resale buyer gets is the right to use the specific cabin week purchased (and, where applicable, continued RCI exchange eligibility tied to that resort membership — confirm this with the resort before buying, since affiliation terms can differ by unit or membership type). What doesn't automatically transfer is anything personal to the seller's account, such as banked RCI points or deposits already made for a given year, so check the current exchange status before closing.

What Renters and Buyers Tend to Look For

People renting a week here are usually after the cabin-and-river setting itself — snowmobiling, forest access, and a quieter alternative to staying in Park City proper — so be specific in your listing about cabin size, season, and what's within walking distance of the lodge. Winter weeks suit skiers and snowmobilers who don't mind a drive to the lifts; summer and fall weeks suit hikers, anglers and anyone chasing the fall foliage in the Wasatch.

Practical Notes for Owners and Visitors

Salt Lake City International Airport is the nearest major airport, roughly 45 minutes to an hour from the lodge depending on conditions, so factor that into any rental listing. Mountain roads on UT-150 can require chains or all-wheel drive in winter, and cell coverage is patchy in places, so advise renters to download offline maps before they arrive.
