This was an awesome place that I wish I'd had more time to spend in. A truly well taken care of little ranch house that was as comfy as someone's full-time home, with very useful amenities and a cozy living room that was tempting me to eschew my big hiking plans. The hosts let me bother them a little late in the night to help turn me around to the right place in a slightly confusing night check-in (I don't think this would've been an issue in the daytime when one could see the whole expanse of the property, and I'm sure my alertness was not at its prime), but once I was settled in it couldn't have been better. Very cool, and I would love to come back here.

The little extras make it abundantly clear that the owners are not new to this game. Washer/dryer. All appliances were new and clean. Comfortable beds. Peaceful, quiet, beautiful Utah!! Highly recommended

Beautiful location

The property was one of a kind. Set in the desert on a property run by a religious group in the 30’s, the cabin was renovated and turned into a modern stay. We loved exploring the surrounding landscape.However, at the end of our stay, there was a 200 charge tacked on. Despite being listed as a “pet friendly” stay, unbeknownst to us, 100 per pet was part of the stay. No damage or mess from our dogs was found. It was just an added charge when we left.
