Maeser has a rural lifestyle near Vernal's restaurants and breweries
Only a short drive from the blue lakes and red sandstone cliffs of the Unita Basin, Maeser is known as a semi-arid, agricultural suburb, minutes from Vernal's Main Street center. With eclectic restaurants and breweries, this rural community of about 4,500 residents has access to world-class recreation, city-like conveniences and the rural lifestyle of Eastern Utah. "Maeser has larger lots. People like it because you're close to town and close to the mountains," says Nathan Snow, a lifelong native of the area and broker/owner at Century 21 Country Realty, Inc. "It's a little more remote and less densely populated than other areas like Vernal or Naples."
Maeser provides breath-taking views of the mountains in a rural setting.

With blue water surrounded by a desert landscape, Steinaker State Park features campgrounds and a sandy beach, making it a popular place for water recreation. Also nearby is Red Fleet State Park, another reservoir with red-sandstone cliffs resembling a fleet of ships. It is also known for its kayaking access and dinosaur tracks, which date back over 200 million years. "You have access to boating, fishing, mountain biking and hiking," Snow says. "I have a boat that I take wake surfing at the local reservoirs. I can also take my horses and go ride up in the Uinta Mountains." Another green space is Remember the Maine Park, which has a playground next to a creek set against a massive cliff backdrop. Maeser is within 50 miles of the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area and the Dinosaur National Monument, providing many landscapes to visit.
