About this property

A Grandview over Capitol Reef National Park

Spend the day exploring the deep canyons of Capital Reef National Park then watch the sunset relaxing on the deck overlooking the domes and cliffs of the park. Perched on a small tongue of land above Sand Creek enjoy the limitless views. The center of town is within walking distance. The outdoor fire pit is an ideal place to gather and tell tales of the adventures of the day as well as stargaze. Three full bedrooms comfortably sleeps 8 people but the cost of the rental changes as you add more people.

A Place Of Respite

This home is designed for relaxation- not incredibly fancy but with lots of attributes that allow one to relax, sink into the surroundings and rejuvenate. Very well appointed for gathering, cooking and enjoying each other's company. Highly recommend and, if life allows, will come back myself.

Amazing location!

My family and I stayed in this "cabin" in early June 2024. My kids (10 and 13), and my wife and I, loved every minute of it. After the hubbub of people in both Moab and Zion it was amazing to be able to sit back and enjoy the sound of the wind whistling through the pines while enjoying a beautiful view all around you. The cabin was well stocked to the point you felt like you were staying at a friend's place. My kids are already asking when we will go back.

Lovely home with fabulous views

Of our three weeks in southern Utah, our final 2 days at this property were the best. The home is spacious, comfortable and has a well appointed kitchen. There are places to sit inside and out and enjoy the amazing views. The hosts were easy to communicate with and we were extremely pleased with our experience.

Let's do it again!

The location, the views, the property (old school feel home) and the access to Capitol Reef was outstanding. We had 6 adults and one teen and we all had plenty of room to eat, relax, celebrate Easter with a killer egg hunt on the property, and incredible hiking. Coming back again in the future.

Fantastic house and scenery

We, family of four from the Netherlands, had a fantastic time. The house is beautifully located. The views of the mountains of Capital Reef are breathtaking. The house is big, very well kept and a nice kitchen with a full pantry if needed. In the garden (or on the deck) one can explore, spot birds, hummingbirds, lizards and rabbits.. and stars! Within 5 minutes drive one can visit Torrey with a few lovely shops, a grocerie store and places to dine. In 10 miles is visitor center of Capitol Reef. Lots of exploring, hiking to do or a visit to Fruita for a lovely pie. We rented this home 5 years ago as well and hopefully be able to rent it again in the future. So.. We can highly recommend this house and area to stay!

Panoramic vistas and hummingbirds

We loved our stay in Grandview over Capitol Reef! The house is beautiful and architecturally interesting, with gorgeous new hardwood floors. It sits in a small neighborhood just outside "downtown" Torrey, on a bluff overlooking a creek on one side, and the red cliffs of Capitol Reef on the other. It is a short drive to many hikes in the park (hike Cohob Canyon!), as well as good food and drinks in town. Best of all is the porch, where you can sit and watch sunrise over the Reef or have a post-hike beer while Rufous hummingbirds battle over the rights to the nectar feeder. Highly recommend!

A Grand View - great home for visiting Capitol Reef

The home was very comfortable and well equipped. Good internet connection allowed us to watch our Youtube TV . The vistas around the house are beautiful. Garage access was a real plus the day a winter storm came through. We used the washer and dryer to do laundry. The national park is only a few minutes drive. Highly Recommend

Gorgeous Views of Capitol Reef

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Torrey house, and the views of Capitol Reef and the surrounding areas were every bit as beautiful as promised. It wasn’t apparent from the listing that the layout of the house is a little unconventional. The second bedroom (with 2 double beds) is just off the garage, and to get to the rest of the house (and the bathroom) you walked down a hall and through the laundry room. The third bedroom is upstairs, while both bathrooms are downstairs. Also, out visit coincided with the start of cooler weather (highs in low 50s and lows in the high 20s) and the electric baseboard heat couldn’t get the downstairs any warmer than about 68 degrees. A fire in the wood stove would probably have helped.

Beautiful views and a great family escape to nature

The house was perfect for our family of as it gave us plenty of room to spread out after small one room cabins at Bryce and Zion. No tv but that was a plus for us. We had some great family games of scrabble each evening. Jill was great to communicate with. Always responsive and and provided some great info on Capital Reef hikes.

You will love it here. The cabin is much more than an cabin. Very large living room and kitchen with a great deck that looks right at Capital Reef NP. The hosts are great and were quick to respond to any question we had. Gave us great suggestions on must see hikes and road trips. We cooked in and pantry and kitchen is well stocked. We hope to return.

Great place to stay near Capitol Reef!

Very nice home in a great location. Torrey is a neat little town with lots of good local food options. Property does not have AC but the breeze is constant enough that it really didn't matter.

A little slice of heaven

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property. So much so that we did not want to leave to visit the park. The views are incredible. The house was the most well provisioned VRBO we have ever stayed at. The beds were comfortable & we loved having access to the garage door opener. Can’t wait to make it back one day!

Exceptional views

What a comfortable home perched on a hill with magnificent views from the windows on three sides! Open floor plan, spacious bedrooms and everything you need in the kitchen and pantry. Decent little grocery store and great burger food truck in Torrey. Convenient location to scenic drive at Capital Reef and hikes in the park. And the pies at the farm in the Cap Reef park are as good as homemade! Thanks for a clean and comfortable stay.

What makes this property unique

Grandview of Capitol Reef National Park, the Henry Mountains and Boulder Mountain. Also, nestled up close to the Sleeping Rainbow Red Cliffs under the Torrey Knoll. Because the cabin is up on a butte the peaceful feeling of being away from it all is certainly a reason why we bought this beautiful home away from home.
