A Nature Lover's Paradise
The Nest Utah was created for guests who appreciate the outdoors. Native landscaping attracts butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and a remarkable variety of birds throughout the year. Depending on the season, you may see Sandhill Cranes, American White Pelicans, Bald Eagles, Killdeer, Red-winged Blackbirds, hawks, and many other migratory species that stop along the Pacific Flyway.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching birds over the lake, spend the afternoon exploring nearby trails, and end the day with breathtaking sunsets across Utah Lake.

A Note About Nature
One of the unique natural events near Utah Lake is the seasonal emergence of non-biting midges. These insects typically appear for only a few days at a time each summer and play an essential role in the lake's ecosystem by providing food for fish and migratory birds. While their arrival can briefly be noticeable outdoors, they are harmless, temporary, and a fascinating part of the area's natural environment.

If you love beautiful scenery, abundant wildlife, unforgettable sunsets, and a peaceful place to recharge while staying close to everything Utah County has to offer, we look forward to welcoming you to The Nest Utah.
