Hidden Chateau | Idaho's Largest Vacation Rental | 13BR Sleeps 52 | Private Beach, Pools & Th...
Idaho's Largest Vacation Rental—Featured in USA Today
Hidden Chateau isn't just a vacation home. It's a 12,000 square foot private estate recognized by USA Today as the largest listing in Idaho. Nestled against the National Forest boundary for unmatched privacy, with full access to The Reserve's private beach, two swimming pools, and resort amenities, this is where families come for reunions they'll talk about for decades.
Privacy You Can't Find Anywhere Else Bordering National Forest land, Hidden Chateau offers the kind of seclusion that's nearly impossible to find in a property this size. No neighbors behind you—just wilderness. The 360-degree views encompass mountains on every side and Bear Lake's famous turquoise water below. This is what "getting away from it all" actually means.
Resort Amenities, All Included Your stay unlocks everything The Reserve has to offer: two swimming pools, a kids' splash pad, hot tub, playground, sports courts, exercise room, and—most importantly—an expansive private beach on Bear Lake. Skip the crowded public areas. Your family gets the private resort experience.
Built for 50+ Guests Thirteen bedrooms. Eight and a half bathrooms. Three levels. Enough space for 52 guests to spread out, gather together, and never feel cramped. The dining room seats 18 at the grand table with bar seating for 9 more. The kitchen handles catering-scale cooking with a large griddle, multiple ovens, and commercial-grade equipment. Themed Bedrooms Kids Actually Love Each bedroom has its own personality: "Legoland" bunk room sleeps 12+ kids in the ultimate sleepover setup. "Disney Dreams" brings the magic. "Moose Tracks" and "Gone Fishing" give the outdoorsy cousins their space. "Springtime in Paris" and "The Victorian" offer elegance for the adults. Kids fight over rooms—in the best way.
Three Generations, Three Living Areas Grandparents can watch the evening news in one room while parents catch a movie in the full theater room and teens play pool in the game area. Three distinct gathering spaces mean everyone gets their moment without stepping on each other.
Private Suite for Multi-Generational Families The main-level apartment includes its own bedroom, full kitchen, living room, and private bathroom with wheelchair-accessible ramps. Perfect for grandparents who want their own space, or family members with mobility needs. Not fully ADA compliant, but thoughtfully designed for accessibility.
Exquisite Design Throughout Beautiful tile, stone, and timber finishes elevate every space. Two grand master suites with private baths. Elegant furnishings that feel upscale without being precious. This is a home built to impress—and built to be lived in by large families.
Sleeping Arrangements Thirteen bedrooms across three levels, plus bonus sleeping areas: Middle Level:
Master #1 "Kingsland": King bed, private bath Master #2 "Queensland": King bed, private bath Apartment "Hidden Hideaway": Queen bed + full futon, private bath, full kitchen

Why Hidden Chateau? Finding a single property that can comfortably house 50+ people is nearly impossible. Finding one with private beach access, resort pools, forest boundary privacy, a theater room, themed kids' bedrooms, AND a wheelchair-accessible suite? That's Hidden Chateau. Families return year after year. As one guest put it: "I've done extensive research for location scouting to fit all of us in one house for reunions. I've found no better deal for our needs than Hidden Chateau." This is the reunion property. The milestone anniversary property. The "everyone in one place" property that most families only dream about. Featured in USA Today as Idaho's Largest Rental Listing.

Wonderful time!
We just finished our family reunion at the Hidden Chateau and had a wonderful time there. A beautiful home with lots of room. Everything was great! We would recommend this to any family looking for memorable time together. There is a lot to do in the area - hikes, water, boating, eating, etc. Highly recommended.
This is an outstanding home for a large family gathering. We have stayed at four other properties in the Reserve and this is far superior. The large kitchen, gathering space, and many bedrooms made this the best!!

Stunning Stay!
The Hidden Chateau is always a wonder for our groups! My authors love staying here - inspired by stunning views, luxurious accommodations, spacious areas to write, and wonderful congregating areas. The furnishings are beautiful, and the decor is artistic and fun. We love it here.
This was perfect for a family staycation. Something and somewhere for everyone of all ages. Lots of bonding for everyone.

Such An Excellent Location!
This is one of our most favorite properties to house our writers' retreats. The property is always clean, well-maintained, and frequently breathtaking! It's perfect for large gatherings and retreats, with gorgeously appointed bedrooms and a fully-stocked kitchen. Highly recommended!

Great location, facility, and lots of room. Management was great to work with, accommodating, and quick to respond. We even were able to walk through the home in advance to see how it would work for our family.

Amazing house!
The place was perfect for our huge group. Beautiful view of Bear lake. Only thing I wish would change is the house has its own hot tub, since the club house was closed. Other than that it was great!

Amazing family reunion!
This was an amazing experience for us all. The home accommodated our large family beautifully and the kitchen had room for each family to bring their own food! There was some fun in the cabin for all ages and the view of the lake spectacular. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. Everyone agrees we should do it again in two years!!
Loved the house. Very roomy and well furnished. We would certainly come again. The view was magnificent.
My only complaint is that I would like to have had control of the thermostat. It was quite cold the first couple of days and the thermostat was locked on cool and the house was cold.
All we heard from family members was how perfect this place was for our family! We could be together or in separate areas in the house. Teens loved the beach access and pools. Pre-teens loved the video games and theater room. Parents loved the theater room for littles to have downtime after having a blast in the Lego room or going for a swim. The kitchen was completely stocked for meal prep/serving and cold storage.
We chose this house to accommodate a young adult in a wheelchair and the garage ramps and access on the main level for family activities.
The management team was very responsive before and after the booking! I highly recommend this house for large group or family gatherings!

wonderful home, perfect for reunions
We really enjoyed our time at the Hidden Chateau. We had 30 people, but the home could have easily fit many more. There were plenty of rooms for parents with additional space for kids. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and there was plenty of refrigerator space to hold all of our perishables. There were a variety of spaces available for everyone to gather for visiting, playing games, or watching movies.
It was inconvenient to have just one fob to access the amenities: when you are hosting up to 50 people, it would be nice to have multiple fobs so that the group can split up, if desired.
Only one room had an issue: the Victorian (upstairs king) was quite a bit warmer than the rest of the home and wouldn't cool down, despite using multiple fans. The A/C could not be turned down further without causing the unit to freeze up so the couple in that room was just uncomfortable.
Overall, we had a wonderful time and everyone in our group said they would return if the opportunity arose. Thank you so much for making this lovely home available!

Great cabin!
Our family has been renting cabins at Bear Lake for 17 years. Our family has grown during those years so we keep needing a larger cabin to accommodate everyone. The Hidden Chateau was perfect for our family. Every couple had a private bedroom and there were bedrooms with multiple beds where the unmarried cousins could stay together. There were plenty of bathrooms and they all worked well. (We've had a couple of cabins where there were plenty of bathrooms but they didn't all work.) The kitchen was well stocked with labels on the drawers and cupboards so we knew where to find items and where to put them away. Two dishwashers made cleaning up after meals fast and easy. The family enjoyed the pool table and the theater room.
When we arrived at the Hidden Chateau the heating/cooling system was turned to heat. Upstairs it was about 80°. I called Julie who apologized and contacted the owner. The air conditioning came on soon after my phone call. I appreciated the quick response.
This was the second summer that we've stayed at the Hidden Chateau. We plan to come back.
The rental can handle large groups well. For our family reunion all age groups had a lot to do and space to do it with the max number attending. It never felt crowded or too noisy. The kitchen is very well stocked. Bathrooms are well stocked with towels. Two dishwashers were so helpful. We loved having the option of going to the clubhouse.

Nice place
The manager (julie) was a joy to deal with. Whenever I called or texted she was very responsive and pleasant. The view was very nice and there was plenty of room. The "lego" room was perfect for the children. the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. This property was not in excellent condition. Several door handles were very loose. The walls were nicked and scraped with paint missing in spots. There was a hole in one of the walls. The floor in parts was in need of repair. The decorative stone work was falling off or missing outside. The equipment in the theater room had no working remotes. Pool table would have been better if the rack was there. Also only having one FOB for a large group was frustrating when you need it for the pool and the beach. Overall my family enjoyed our stay and the facility was adequate.
