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.

I would love to give this home 5 stars. This home has a great view of the lake. The covered deck provided great shade and protection from the elements.
The home is beautiful, new, and in a great location. We enjoyed grilling and spending time out on the deck during our stay.
It was clean and 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 and pantry, there are minimal grilling utensils. The pantry had paper products, foil, saran wrap, storage bags, salt and pepper and 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 and could make it difficult to get in and out of. If there was a mattress and then the topper, that would have been an improvement.
Most VRBOs have instructions on how things like the TV, sound system, fireplace and other equipment work in the home, but instructions were very minimal or non-existent.
The fire place was not operable and 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 and I still have no idea what light switches turned on what, in some cases.
Like I said, this was a newer home and perhaps it was still in need of some finishing touches.
The cons I mentioned above are small and perhaps are a preference or a mild annoyance. But the biggest con and the main reason I cannot give this property 5 stars, was the communication, or shall I say 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 and it's amenities and never received a response. It seems that the customer service experience is lacking with this unit. I'm not sure if that is Vacasa or the homeowner, either way, it was very disappointing. I've never stayed in a VRBO where there was little to no communication with the owner.
I hope they improve the customer service experience.

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.
