We had a great time! The pinball and arcade games were a blast and the access to Ideal Beach was great too. All details coming and going were seamless.

Great place!
This was our second time staying at butch’s hideout and will probably continue to stay here as long as we come to bear lake. We love the access to ideal beach (our family stays there), the arcade games are an added bonus - SO FUN! Check in and out was so easy and the hideout is so cozy- it feels as if I’m staying at grandma and grandpas cabin. Thanks for the 2nd year of a great stay!
This studio apartment was SO cute and very clean (except the wooden window blinds needed a dusting). It had great views of Bear Lake. The western theme was very inviting. The kitchen is retro, cute as can be and it is beautifully supplied considering it's a small and efficient kitchen; too small to make thanksgiving dinner but large enough to make a quick dinner for two.The check-in process was streamlined and easy.However, the pull out bed was horrible. (There ARE some good ones out there.) The bedding and pillows were cheap and not luxurious. The whole purpose of the stay was to get a good night's sleep and that wasn't possible with the metal bars in our back.Also, the shower select lever was not operable so we opted for baths. It was late in the evening so we didn't bother the manager as we were tired and wanted to go right to bed.This super cute studio let us down in some critical areas.
