About the host

Hosted by Laura Evans

Host profile image
We love creating welcoming spaces where families and friends can gather, relax, and make lasting memories together. At Big Arm Farm, we pay attention to the little details—from thoughtful amenities to comfortable gathering spaces—because we want every guest to feel at home. We're always happy to answer questions, share local recommendations, and help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Why they chose this property

We love this location because it offers the perfect balance of convenience, recreation, and peaceful countryside. The Bunkhouse is located just minutes from Bear Lake's popular North Beach, one of the area's most visited beaches. Being on the Idaho side also makes it easy to access the lake without some of the traffic often experienced around the south end of Bear Lake during peak summer weekends.

St. Charles is a great home base for exploring the area, with easy access to Bear Lake, Minnetonka Cave, hiking trails, ATV routes, fishing, boating, and local attractions. Guests are also just a short drive from a market, café, and gas station for supplies before heading out for the day.

After a day of adventure, return to peaceful farm and mountain views and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the countryside.

What makes this property unique

The Bunkhouse was designed with gathering in mind. Unlike a traditional vacation home, this modern bunkhouse offers flexible sleeping arrangements, spacious common areas, and room for families, friends, retreats, and groups to comfortably spend time together.

What makes the experience special is the combination of large-group accommodations and the peaceful setting at Big Arm Farm. Guests can enjoy mountain and farmland views, relax around the firepit, and unwind in the quiet countryside after a day at Bear Lake. It's a place to slow down, reconnect, and create lasting memories together.
