We loved this home with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, couches for lounging, large table for game playing and family dinners and a porch to enjoy the sunrise & wildlife (deer), let littles run around, and enjoy a meal. Short drive to town and the beach. We would stay here again for sure!
Loved this home. Clean, easy check in & check out. Host was super responsive.

The view of the lake from the property was amazing and exactly what we hoped for. We loved the location and thought the home was beautifully decorated and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views and great accommodations
Layout of this rental is perfect for a large group. Beds were comfortable and home was clean. it was a spectacular view from the deck, and all of the deck is shaded by noon. Great space to spend time outside playing games and grilling. We would definitely rent again.
Enjoyed the layout of the house. We were to do group activities and still had private time. On arrival we found the home spotless. We were given the opportunity for early check in. A great place to stay.

Fabulous Bear Lake Property!
We scheduled a last minute weekend at Bear Lake with the whole family to say goodbye to summer! The Bear Lake Nest was such a great property! It was clean, spacious, well stocked, plenty of areas for gathering, eating, playing games, watching football, and enough room for everyone! We loved the covered deck! It had a great view and was so enjoyable to sit out and visit. The design and décor were really well done and inviting! It was close to the golf course which we played at one morning, and the property included entrance to Ideal Beach which was awesome! Customer service was prompt and very helpful! I will definitely be booking this again for future family trips to Bear Lake!
The house was a bit of a drive from the lake but totally worth the beautiful views from the back deck and main living room and dining area. House is clean and well furnished with a good layout and nice style. My only real complaint is that the 3 basement bedrooms all have to share one bathroom. That was a bit awkward for the 6 adults who stayed in the basement. The master bedroom upstairs has an en suite bath, and the bunk room has its own bath.

This was a perfect home to stay for our vacation to Bear Lake. It was nice to have access to Ideal Beach. The location was close to everything we needed.
The driveway is steep for a trailer. We could park our 25’ ski boat at the house. There is no parking on the road. Not recommend for large boat trailers

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Communication
A let down
When we first arrived things looked surface clean, but on closer inspection the showers needed a good scrub down and the baseboards in all the bathrooms needed to be cleaned. The beds were horrible, it seemed like they were mostly bed toppers. The stove only had two burners that worked. There are three bathrooms there and only one hair dryer. This is not one we will stay at again.
will stay at againtha
Great views! Gorgeous home! But little communication or response from Vacasa.
I would love to give this home 5 stars. This home has a great view of the lake. The covered deck provided shade & protection from the elements.
The home is beautiful, new, & in a great location. We enjoyed grilling & spending time out on the deck during our stay.
It was clean & somewhat stocked. There is plenty of room to spread out.
It is a great space for adult couples, families, or for a girls or boys weekend.
But there are cons: This is a newer VRBO, so perhaps everything wasn't ready when we stayed there (June 2022). The unit says they have a coffee maker, which they did, but they didn't have any coffee mugs or mugs of any type. Hopefully this has been updated since our stay.
If you are a wine drinker, there were no wine glasses or wine opener. If you want to enjoy your morning cup of coffee, tea, cocoa or an adult beverage in the evening while taking in the view, be prepared that they only have plastic or acrylic cups. As for the kitchen/pantry, there are minimal grilling utensils. The pantry had paper products, foil, saran wrap, storage bags, salt & pepper & oil. Really no other spices, be prepared to bring your own.
The beds are so so, a bit too soft, especially in the master. It seemed like it was just a mattress topper. The master bed was low to the ground & could make it difficult to get in and out of.
Most VRBOs have instructions on how things like the TV, fireplace & other equipment work in the home, but instructions were very minimal or non-existent. The fire place was not operable & the TV was not user friendly. The amenities said it had a hair dryer, but I never found it. Several lamps didn’t have light bulbs, which was odd. There were so many light switches, I still have no idea what light switches turned on what, in some cases.
Like I said, this was a newer home, perhaps it was still in need of some finishing touches.
The cons I mentioned above are small & perhaps are a preference or a mild annoyance. But the biggest con & the main reason I cannot give this property 5 stars, was the lack of communication with Vacasa. When we stayed there, the property had no reviews. I tried reaching out to Vacasa before our trip with a few questions about the home & it's amenities & never received a response. It seems that the customer service experience is lacking. I have never experienced this with other VRBO properties. I hope they improve this, customer service is important to the overall experience and stay.

Gorgeous- perfect home
We loved our stay in this home!!! So clean, spacious, cool and comfortable. The decor is top notch and feels like it came out of a home design website. Our kids said it’s one of the very best homes we’ve ever stayed in - and we’ve stayed in many many homes.
The views are stunning and the house is beautiful, but I would not recommend this to someone who wants to cook. The kitchen layout is awful. The stove and refrigerator back onto each other and are in a major walkway. I worried that my small grandchildren would be hurt running behind me while I cooked. A lot of attention and money has gone into decorative accessories, but the dishes and serving bowls were made of the cheapest plastic. I suspect they came from the dollar store. That being said, any time spent at Bear Lake is a great time!

Incredible Bear Lake Stay!
We loved our stay at this cute Bear Lake nest! A group of friends met up for a 4th of July weekend and couldn’t have loved our stay more. The house was perfect with plenty of cooking supplies, towels, and space for our group! Would absolutely stay again.
