The Westlake Escape - Amazing Views, Large Entertaining Yard, and Hot Tub

We loved everything about this property. It was good for cold weather AND warm weather. The view of the lake is lovely. All the family-friendly amenities made it fun for the adults AND the kids, with separate places for everyone to go and not feel like we were climbing all over each other.The kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we needed and more. The s'mores welcome basket was a fun surprise.Our recommendations would be 1) Check in with the cleaning crew. When we arrived for a November visit, there were still Halloween party decorations on the windows, stairs, banisters, and in some of the garbages, as well as confetti and little plastic spider rings consistently throughout the house. The carpet in the main floor living room also had hair that kept getting caught in our games and on our clothes; the carpet had not been vacuumed very thoroughly.2) Replace the grody, moldy shower curtain in the basement/laundry bathroom.3) Have more than 3 kitchen towels.Aside from these very small suggestions, we LOVED staying here and would absolutely stay again. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

The only downside was that the cleaners never came and we were stuck washing all of our towels and bedding cleaning the kitchen. However I don't fully blame the host for this because that's not really their job is to clean. They were very accommodating and willing to compensate. The stay itself was amazing and we would definitely consider coming here again.

Our family enjoyed our stay here. We especially liked the variety of outdoor activities and space. This home is in a quiet neighborhood and has a beautiful view of the lake.

When we arrived the cleaner was still there and had just arrived an hour before. She was the only cleaner there in an 8000 sf home. She did not leave until an hour and a half after check in. The house was still dirty. There was popcorn on the floor, dirty fridge, stove, ect. We also found garments from prior guests in the drawer. The ice maker was broke and the door of the dryer was broke and still had wet towels in it, we dried as many as we could before checkout. The grill outside had not been cleaned and still had cooking utensils on it. We let the owner know. The downstairs playroom was not safe, the kids loved it but the floor was uncovered concrete and two children broke bones during our stay. The first night there at 1am the alarm went off and we were unable to reach any of the numbers given to us by the owners. We were able to bypass the alarm and go back to bed. At 130 am the Sheriffs office showed up fully armed. They said they had notification of the alarm first as a fire, then intruder and finally a medical emergency and did not know what they might be walking into. The next day the owner called and apologized stating it was the first time it had happened this year and they thought they had fixed it from the last time it happened. Other unsafe items, the deck is not fully attached to the home, the front door has a large crack, the cleaner said it's been that way since 2022, no railing on the entrance stairs which made it hard for the seniors to enter.

Our family enjoyed the property, Nice clean Bedrooms & Bathrooms.The grandkids loved the foam pit we could hardly pull them out to eat. Beautiful views from the deck, watched the sunrise over the lake, it was incredible.Seating eating, play games, visiting was plentiful and welll laid out. The hosts were very helpful and available.

We did our annual family reunion here and it worked out really well. We had 39 people-24 adults and 15 kids under 10. Everyone had their own space. The house was well maintained and the views of the lake were gorgeous. It even had full RV hookups for one family that likes to bring their trailer to reunions. Overall it was a really good experience and we’d definitely come back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was good with a nice view of the lake. The kids especially enjoyed the outside area where there was plenty of room to play ball. We appreciated the abundance of sitting options in the house as well as by the fire pit. Highly recommend this home.

Many positives about this property for our group of 24: large grassy area, sand volleyball, lots of chairs for patio with fun fire pit, plenty of indoor dining space, well-supplied kitchen, fun game room, good grills, lots of parking, comfy couches. Needs improvement: dishwasher was broken, no dishtowels, very few paper towels, pillows were too thick and uncomfortable to sleep on, hot tub was overly chlorinated and there weren't enough windows to air it out. Labels for the cabinets would be helpful to know what is in each one, fridge doesn't make much ice and outside fridge needs cleaning.

The Westlake Escape is top notch and highly recommended! Great for large families with plenty of space and fun games to be played! The views are amazing. Very clean set up nicely for everyone to enjoy!

Great experience with family. Had lots of grest memories.

We had such an enchanting and memorable time at this home. My family and I came with seven other friends from college and their families. There were 44 of us and we had a wonderful time reconnecting and making new memories. Took time away for a day at the beach (used the trailer of kayaks and paddleboards additional rental available) and a short nearby hike but spent most of our time enjoying time togetget at the property. Had fun playing games, eating, dancing, crafting and watching an outdoor movie on the nice lawn. Highly recommend this home for your next large gathering at Bear Lake!

We loved the uncrowded spaces around us! The large yard had so much room for the grandkids to play. The house was spacious as well, with plenty of spaces to sleep. The master bedroom made my husband and I feel like the Queen and King of the family!

Great place to sleep, outside was great for kickball, volleyball . Clean & comfortable

We as a family hadn't gotten together in over 10 years. We drove from California, Nebraska and Colorado to this absolutely amazing home. Over 8000 square feet of beauty with the most STUNNING views of Bear Lake. Plenty of room for 35 of us to enjoy each other's company and so many amazing fun opportunities near by. The owners are absolutely great, a phone call away for anything you needed. We had a beautiful time and I would absolutely recommend this VRBO. It is a bucket list item..Go, book today.

We had a great time. The rental was great. We had a few questions and the owners were responsive. We would stay here again and I would recommend it to others.
