If water views, luxury finishes, and ample space for your entire family all sound like qualities of a dream vacation home you could never afford, think again.

Whether you're chasing those perfect summer beach days or seeking a tranquil winter escape, Bear Lake offers a slice of nature's perfection that you won't want to miss. Here's how you can become a part owner of a Bear Lake vacation retreat and enjoy all that the destination has to offer.
Experience the Bear Lake magic year round
For most people, Bear Lake recalls visions of sandy, sunny beach days capped off by a creamy raspberry milkshake. The "Caribbean of the Rockies" is a popular summer destination for thousands of Utah and Idaho vacationers each year. But there's more to Bear Lake than just its beguiling turquoise-blue waters.
In the spring and fall, the Bear Lake region is a hiking and biking haven for outdoor enthusiasts. ATV trails abound if you want to spend a day in the canyon speeding on dirt trails through forests. Stop by the National Oregon/California Trail Center in Montpelier to learn about the area's pioneer history.
Once winter arrives, the summer destination transforms into a winter wonderland. Snowmobiling is a popular activity, as is ice fishing and snowshoeing. You can hit the ski slopes in less than a 30-minute drive to Beaver Mountain Ski Area. It is a perfect place to spend a cozy, snowy holiday with family.

Securing your dream home is easier than you think
A 2023 GOBankingRates survey found that four out of 10 Americans now own vacation homes, and the largest share of homeowners surveyed paid less than $200,000 for their property. Clearly, the trend of affordable vacation homes is catching on!
With Fraxioned, you own a share (ranging from 1/8 to 1/13) of a home, granting you all the benefits of ownership with far less up-front cost. After all, what's the point in owning a home—along with all the maintenance and headaches involved—when you are only there a few weeks out of the year? Fraxioned takes care of all the maintenance and management needs. They do all the hard work, so you can do all the play! Owning one-eighth of a property means you get 44 days, or about six weeks, of blissful relaxation at Bear Lake each year.
Different from a timeshare
With traditional timeshares, your vacation time is typically limited to a set period each year. But with Fraxioned, you get direct ownership through their LLC structure. This gives you the added benefit of home ownership without the hassles and maintenance of traditional home ownership. You'll have more flexibility in your schedule and the ability to rent out your unused nights, making it more than just a vacation home.
"Unlike a timeshare, fractional homeownership properties follow the real estate market values and have the benefit of increasing property value as the overall market increases," David Harris of Coldwell Banker Warburg told Forbes. "So, if the fractional property you own increases in value during your ownership, you can sell for profit."
This means you won't be spending thousands of dollars on vacation rentals that you never see again. The co-ownership model offers the potential for growth over time, similar to traditional homeownership.
