This is a great rental property, and I have to say, the pictures really don't do it justice. It was so much more charming than we anticipated, with lots of homey western-themed touches. The views are incredible out the big front windows, and if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet place where you can see millions of stars at night, this is for you. I think we saw all of two vehicles on the road leading to the property the entire time we were there. There was plenty of room for our party of nine, and although we brought our own food, we were pleasantly surprised to find all kinds of supplies in the cupboards which we could have used if we were doing more cooking. The kitchen is well stocked, and we had everything we needed, although we did go out to buy napkins, and paper plates, as the dishwasher soap was gone. I expected something rougher, but found it to be a very nice house - up-to-date kitchen, nice bathrooms, etc. It might not have the beds of a five-star hotel, but they were adequate, and overall we felt like it was a great place all the way around.

There was a pool table that could double as an extra table if needed, and our boys were perfectly happy the entire time just brushing up on their pool skills. There were games and movies as well, so we had plenty to occupy us in the evening hours after sight-seeing.

The bathrooms were clean and very nice. We didn't run out of hot water as a previous renter had mentioned, but knowing that it could possibly be an issue, we didn't have all nine of us showering at once. As it was, we were just fine.

We used this rental as a base for seeing Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Goblin Valley. It's a good location for getting around any of Central Utah, but VERY close to Capitol Reef.

The nearby towns are very small, but there are places to gas up, buy a few groceries, and even eat out, although the best dining is probably about 15 miles away in Torrey.

Be aware that this is an isolated rental, out in the middle of open country-lots of birds, rabbits and squirrels in the early morning and evening hours, and incredible night skies. But like any cabin, you also get a few flies or see the occasional sign of a mouse.. It wasn't anything that disturbed us, and we loved being away from everything - so worth it. Cell service was very spotty.

This is a great vacation rental for a family or group. We wouldn't hesitate renting it again. Everyone in our party loved it!
