Our family had the best time staying at Bear River Hot Springs! The rooms were clean, and had everything we needed to prepare our food, clean our clothes, and entertain ourselves (they had ping pong in the living room, as well as air hockey, puzzles, Kub, etc.). The hot springs/pools were perfect for everyone in our family - from our 6-year-old to our 48-year-old! The six-year-old is just learning to swim and was able to walk throughout the length of the hot spring pools when they needed to. The staff were warm and so helpful. They were even able to accommodate us when we arrived at an unexpected time. We're excited to visit there again soon!

Ours was a quick overnight stay. It was dark when we arrived and dark when we left. We enjoyed a soak in the hot springs, and had everything we needed to prepare for our next day's activities. I think this would be a great place to bring the grandkids back to.
