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.

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.
