About this property

Jailer's Cottage * Entire Home * Sleeps 10

This turn of the century home, set in the quiet and quaint town of Spring City, sits on over an acre.

The Jailer's Cottage sits next to the 165 year old rock jailhouse (still in tact).
With 4 bedrooms including a large loft with 5 beds, a cozy living room and a large, spacious kitchen, this home has plenty of room for family and friends to spread out and relax.

Lots of area outside for parking, playing yard games, and includes space to park an RV, RV hookups and an RV sewer connection.

The perfect taste of home (and Grandma's house), this unique 128 year old cottage is 2 blocks from the Horseshoe canyon road, 3 blocks from the Old Schoolhouse Museum, the City park with a playground, large rotunda fire pit, endless lawn, a baseball field and covered pavilions. And just a hop, skip and a jump from Mount Pleasant and Ephraim.
Amazing wildlife abound this delightful space and so few street lights you can see the stars on a clear night. You may never want to leave.

Perfect home for family reunions. Located close to all the local historical sites, in between Ephraim and Mount Pleasant and only 17 miles (20 minute drive) to the beautiful and scenic Manti Temple and Temple Hill.

This location and home is perfect for hunters. Just minutes from some of the best hunting locales in the state.

Writers and Artists have loved staying in the Cottage. Spring City is a quiet and somewhat secluded town with so much unique scenery and charm.

Palisades State Park is only 30 minutes away. Families and groups can enjoy paddle boats, paddle boarding or fishing on the Palisades lake and even picnicking on the beaches while the golf enthusiasts enjoy a round at the Palisades Golf Course. Some of the most gorgeous scenery in the County.

Breakdown of rooms and sleeping capacity:

Sarah’s Room-Sleeps 2 (Queen)
Claire’s Alfred Owl Room-Sleeps 2 (Double)
Two Sister’s Hideout-Sleeps 3 (Queen/Single)
The Loft-Sleeps 5-7 (5 Twins-2 fold out sleepers)
We also provide a pack-n-play that can be used as a crib.

1 Bathroom: For over 60 years, the large families used the existing outhouse and wash tub. A (Pink) bathtub was added to the home around 1950 and a few years later a toilet and small sink were added.
Today, we take for granted large and spacious bathrooms or more than one bathroom in a home, these were luxuries not easily afforded back then. Someday we will make a luxurious bathroom for our lovely Cottage, until then, you get to experience it the way it has been for the past 70 years.
Bed linens and bath towels are provided for all guests.

You will have full access to the home, the parking and the entire one acre parcel with lots of yard space for gatherings.

Additional fees will be charged to use RV hookups. Fees cover power, water and sewer expenses. Please message for details.

You will receive a message with a link two days prior to your arrival day. This link will provide check in and home information, including door codes and entry instructions. We are available for any emergency needs or questions.

This is a quiet and spacious neighborhood. The locals welcome travelers and love to boast about their historic little town.

There is no public transportation in Spring City. However, the home sits just two blocks East of Main Street with easy access to and from Highway 89 and just 2 blocks South of the Canyon Road.

Search and Rescue training

We needed to have a place with at least 6 separate beds. I didn’t realize we would only have 1 bathroom, but it wasn’t a big deal and the character and charm was amazing. Had the best kitchen utensils I’ve ever seen for a vacation rental. Was fun to stay here and it met our needs.

Quaint and comfortable

We enjoyed our short stay on this property. It was just our family of 6 so we had enough room. It should be noted that there is only one bathroom, no half baths. It was a minor inconvenience. The house is well stocked with things you'd need. If you are staying in the summer months, get the ac units going upstairs when you arrive because it can take a while to cool the rooms off, especially the loft. I always felt the owners were there to help should I have needed it.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay was miserable, after renting property that was advertised as having air conditioning for the 1st week of August, upon check in discovered that only 1 bedroom downstairs had a window unit. So the entire downstairs was stifling hot, and impossible to enjoy. The upstairs loft area was too big to cool with its window unit, and made sleep impossible even directly in front of window unit. Had it been fall or spring, it might have been ok but summer there was miserable. Upon checkout we were charged for and accused of damages we didnt cause, and VRBO was totally worthless and lack of customer support was shocking. Never again.

Perfect home base!

We came down with some friends and spent a lovely weekend at the property. We had a great time biking around town and exploring. The house had enough room for everyone and everything was well organized and stocked. We would love to come back again.

Charming and spacious

When you first roll up with ten people you can help but think "theres no way we'll all fit" and you'll be wrong. The two bedrooms downstairs are literally from another century but still big enough and very comfortable. The two rooms upstairs are huge and perfect for a big group of kids. The kitchen table easily seats 8 adults. Everything is comfortable and completely charming. Go for a walk around the town. Worth the visit
