5+ Bedroom Homes for Sale in Laketown, Utah
Laketown is a small Rich County town at the south end of Bear Lake, and the demand for five-bedroom-plus homes here has a very specific driver: this is one of Utah's most popular family-vacation lakes, and big houses get used hard during the summer. Buyers shopping larger floor plans in Laketown tend to fall into two camps — multi-generational families who want enough beds for kids, cousins, and grandparents during the June-to-August stretch, and investors targeting the strong short-term rental market that Bear Lake's turquoise water generates from Memorial Day through Labor Day. A handful of full-time residents also size up, since the nearest grocery run is a 20-minute drive to Garden City or an hour to Logan.
Inventory at five bedrooms and above stays tight in Laketown proper because the town itself is small, so the active list often includes newer builds in nearby subdivisions like Sweetwater, Bear Lake West, and homes along the western and southern shoreline. Expect a wide range — older lake cabins that have been added onto, purpose-built rental properties sleeping 16-plus, and custom lakefront homes with private beach frontage. Snow loads, well-and-septic systems, and HOA short-term-rental rules all matter more here than in a typical Wasatch Front purchase, so plan on closer-than-usual due diligence.

Common questions
About 5+ bedroom homes in Laketown.
Why would I want a 5+ bedroom home in Laketown specifically? ▾
Laketown sits at the south end of Bear Lake, and most large homes here pull double duty as family residences and vacation gathering spots. Five-plus bedrooms make sense when you're hosting extended family for summer weeks on the lake, holiday gatherings, or running a short-term rental during the June-through-August peak season.
Are most large Laketown homes used as vacation rentals? ▾
A meaningful share are. Bear Lake's turquoise water draws steady summer traffic, and Rich County allows nightly rentals in many areas — though rules vary by subdivision and HOA. If rental income matters to your plans, verify the specific property's zoning and any CC&R restrictions before writing an offer.
What's the price range for 5+ bedroom homes in Laketown? ▾
Larger homes in Laketown and the surrounding Bear Lake shoreline typically run from the mid $600s for older or interior lots up past $2M for newer lakefront builds with private beach access. Square footage, lake proximity, and rental history drive most of the spread.
Is Laketown a year-round community or mostly seasonal? ▾
It's a mix. The full-time population is small — under 300 — but the housing stock skews toward second homes and rentals that sit quieter from October through April. Winters bring snow and cold (it's about 5,980 feet elevation), so larger homes here often include mudrooms, oversized garages for boats and sleds, and serious heating systems.
How far is Laketown from Salt Lake City or the nearest airport? ▾
Laketown is roughly 130 miles from Salt Lake City International, about a 2.5-hour drive over Logan Canyon or via I-80 and US-89. Logan is the closest full-service town at about an hour away for groceries, hospitals, and Utah State University.
Do larger homes here usually come with lake access? ▾
Not automatically. True lakefront parcels in Laketown proper are limited and priced accordingly. Many 5+ bedroom homes sit in subdivisions with deeded beach access, a community dock, or a short drive to public access points like Rendezvous Beach at Bear Lake State Park.
