What an awesome place to spend a few days while visiting Capitol Reef. The barn is such a warm open space that fosters family time together and was perfect for our family. Dads cooking in the gourmet kitchen, moms reading in the warm sunlight beside the bay window, and the boys (6&8) are exploring everything, finding every secret nook.

The farm is idilic. Cows, pigs, cats, dogs, cranes, and deer all came and went during our stay. The snow lingered on the mountain tops in the distance while we sat around the fire ring and roasted marshmallows in the chilly evenings. We hiked down to the lower 180, a beautiful pasture that buts up to the national park and then caught the sunset from atop the hill behind the barn - awesome views.

The barn is about as comfortable and welcoming as you could want. Its a very open space that has more than enough room for large groups but is still perfect for a family to stay connected. There are lofts for the kids to have their own space and still keep in touch with whats happening downstairs. All the furnishings are rustic but elegant, and add to the Butch and Cassidy feel of the place. Im sure if those two stayed here, they never would have started robbing banks.

The barn sits in a quiet, out of the way corner of the ranch which has easy access to the main road and is only about 15 minutes from the park. Torrey is nearby and has anything you could need. I wouldn't pass on Slackers milk shakes.

All our needs were taken care of quickly by Ariel the ranch manger and Sandy kept checking in on us during our stay.

The was the first stop in our southwest Utah tour and it couldn't have been any better.
