About this property

Isolated, yet close to amenities. Newly updated home on 6.7 acres just off Highway 24. Only 4 minutes west of Torrey restaurants and other services. Surrounded by open space with spectacular views of Thousand Lake Mountain, Boulder Mountain, and the Henry Mountains. Nearest neighbor is over a mile away! There's a fire pit and charcoal grill when the urge strikes to cook outside, or just to stay warm by a fire under the stars. No neighbors = no lights = great stargazing. Great photos in all directions too!

Bright, open kitchen and dining area with access to the deck. Kitchen was remodeled in 2023 and equipped with new appliances.

Great for kids with lots of space, toys, and a ping pong table in the game room. Older stereo (teach your kids what cassette tapes are!) and new 48" tv plus dvd player. The antique tv and radio in the living room don't work, but can contribute to the history lesson too.

Great bike or ATV rides, nature walks, and trail runs right out the front door (amazing 17 mile road bike loop under the Cockscomb or ~12 mile running loop on the old dump road), and of course Capitol Reef National Park and many many other natural wonders are within easy reach with a short drive. The bike loop was the last 2 laps of Tour of Utah stage in 2016.

Torrey has both seasonal and year-round restaurants within 2 miles. Good pizza, burgers, southwestern food and coffee shop all within a quick drive.

Relax and let our home be your home base for appreciating some of Wayne County's natural wonders.

Amazing location!

This property is as secluded as advertised and access to Capitol Reef NP is within minutes. We loved the location and the house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Rustic charmer with great views

This home was perfect for our multi-generational group aged from 13-82. The location near Capitol Reef and Torrey made it a perfect launching point for exploring Utah’s parks. The beds were all comfortable and we were able to rest easy after our days of hiking and exploring. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The game room was great for our teens. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The views from the property are phenomenal and the area gave us plenty of options for dining and adventure.

Quiet home on a beautiful setting

We loved our stay at this home. Remote and beautiful but with easy access to Capitol Reef National Park. Well stocked and comfortable. The deck was especially wonderful. We sat outside a lot and enjoyed the beauty and the quiet. We were warned that GPS wouldn’t work and it was a little hard to find, but the owner was immediately responsive when I called and then it was easy. I highly recommend this rental. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Room to explore outdoors

Kitchen and basement like new, other areas of home rustic/dated, but comfortable. We had everything we needed to satisfy family members from 3 years old to 72. Night sky was unbelievable! Plenty of room to roam and explore on site. Beautiful deck and kitchen. We enjoyed every day.

Our 7th stay

Our family reunion has come to this property for 7 years in a row. Every year, the house keeps getting better with more upgrades. The location cannot be beat, the views are phenomenal, the fact that there are no neighbors anywhere near is a plus as well, pet friendly and great hosts to boot..Thank you Laura and Sean

Peace and quiet

We specifically chose this house due to its location, which was far away from any other house. It was exactly what we were hoping for and had a very peaceful few days stay. Very clean and had everything we needed. We had no cause to contact the owners but they made themselves available to us if we had needed their help with anything. We appreciated being able to bring our two dogs with us.

Lovely setting

Beautiful location; very little evidence of humans seen from this house, only beautiful views. Four roomy bedrooms plus couches. Very clean. Hosts very responsive. Very nice well-equipped kitchen. This house is not fancy but has everything you need. We hope to stay here again.

Very remote but perfect!

Straight out of the 60s with some modern updates. Truly felt like staying at someone's home, not a VRBO. Very well equipped. Fit into the area perfectly. Situated between the "Big 5" if you don't mind driving a couple hours to a couple of the parks. Make sure you arrive before dark though your first day...not well lit and set very far off the road (owner will provide a map). Otherwise, a great place to stay!

Southern Utah Road Trip, Part 2.

We are a 3 adult couples traveling together on a road trip of Southern Utah, including the 5 NP's, some state parks, and a few NM's. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Sean was very helpful, and we really enjoyed the somewhat eclectic furnishings. Particularly the 50's era Admiral TV and the classic RCA consul radio. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the countryside beautiful.

Thank you for an amazing week!

We were so excited to spend the week here and everything met our expectations. Communication was perfect, from start to finish, owners were very receptive to messages. Property was quirky, but we absolutely loved it and so did our dogs. It’s quiet, away from people, and the views couldn’t have been better! they did a phenomenal job updating the kitchen, it really was open, with double doors to the deck. There was even half and half in the fridge for us, and a little extras here and there that were nice touches. Hands-down we would stay here again and again!!

Capitol Reef Getaway

The property was perfect for our group, an excellent hub for hiking and touring the Capitol Reef area. In the cold weather, we enjoyed the wood stove in the kitchen, all the instructions for everything were spot on. We would certainly stay here again.

Rustic Torrey House

Our group of ten enjoyed this Torrey home. Many different areas to hang out in the house. The beautiful views were enhances with a dusting of snow one morning. A short scenic drive to Capital Reef National Park. We lit up the outdoor fire pit to admire the night skies.

Perfect Family Getaway

The home is clean and spacious, with more than enough room for our family (Adults, children & dog). The kitchen was well-stocked, and the owners kindly made available a wide array of books, toys, and games for kids of all ages. The property was a welcome place for short explorations and star gazing at night. It is close to Capitol Reef National Park and endless outdoor opportunities on surrounding public lands. The owners were very kind about accommodating some last-minute scheduling changes, left lots of great information about the surrounding area, and were always available for questions. We really appreciated being able to bring our dog and she seemed very comfortable and settled in the home. This rental made our vacation in Torrey absolutely perfect. We’re already hoping to return soon!

Family Gathering

Visiting from Montana with other family joining us from CA for a total of 5 adults & 4 grandkids all under 3 yrs. A great base camp location to explore the surrounding canyon country this part of UT has to offer. Very homey & comfortable house with plenty of room & toys for the kids along with great views. Sean was a great host with detailed instructions posted for using the property & check in & out was seamless. I’d stay here again when back in Torrey!
