About this property

Secret Garden | 8BR•Game Room•Fire Pit & Waffles!

The Space

Welcome to a beautiful 8-bedroom retreat designed for gathering, relaxing, and making memories together.

With three levels of thoughtfully designed living space, this home gives your group something that can be hard to find: plenty of room to be together, with plenty of room to spread out.



The Main Floor

The main floor is the heart of the home.

The gourmet kitchen is both beautiful and incredibly functional, with everything you need to prepare meals for your group. It is fully stocked with cookware, dishes, utensils, and kitchen essentials, and the butler’s pantry provides additional preparation and storage space.

A large family gathering room creates the perfect place to relax and reconnect. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning, visiting after a day of adventures, or gathering for a movie, there is room for everyone to settle in comfortably.

The dedicated game room adds another layer of fun, giving kids, teens, and adults a place to play and enjoy some friendly competition.

When it's time to eat, the dining area offers seating for everyone staying in the home, so your entire group can gather around the table rather than splitting up.

And to make your mornings a little sweeter, enjoy a fresh waffle breakfast during your stay.



Upstairs

The upper level provides a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.

You'll find four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a beautiful primary suite with a king bed and private ensuite.

The additional bedrooms include another king bedroom and two queen bedrooms, providing comfortable sleeping options for families and groups.

A convenient laundry room is also located upstairs.



The Basement

The basement gives your group an entire additional level to enjoy.

It features three bedrooms, including a king bedroom, a king bedroom with a trundle bed, and a queen bedroom, along with a full bathroom.

You'll also find a second kitchen and a beautiful family room with its own dining table. This additional living space is perfect for larger groups who appreciate having room to spread out, prepare snacks or meals, gather for conversation, or simply have a little more privacy.



The Secret Garden

Then there is the backyard—and this may be the part of the home you remember most.

Step outside and discover a beautiful backyard that feels like a secret garden. Lush surroundings, comfortable outdoor seating, and peaceful spaces make it an inviting place to slow down and enjoy being together.

Gather around the fire pit in the evening, relax outside with a cup of coffee, or let the kids enjoy the swing set.

The backyard isn't just an amenity. It's another place to gather, relax, and create memories.



Convenient Extras

For guests arriving by car, the home includes a two-car garage and a Tesla EV charger, adding convenience whether you're staying for a weekend or an extended visit.

Made for Memorable Gatherings

This home was created for the moments that happen when people have room to truly enjoy one another.

Cook together in the gourmet kitchen.

Gather around the dining table.

Challenge each other to a game.

Let the kids play while the adults relax.

Enjoy a fresh waffle breakfast in the morning.

Spend the afternoon in the secret garden.

Gather around the fire as the evening settles in.



With three levels, multiple gathering spaces, two kitchens, eight bedrooms, and a backyard that feels like its own little escape, this home offers the comfort and character of a place where your group can truly settle in.



Come for the beautiful home. Stay for the secret garden. Leave with memories.

Perfect in every way!

We came down as a family for our son's wedding. It was a perfect place to gather and celebrate together and get ready in the morning. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Carole communicated with us easily and clearly. This was exactly what we needed!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Carole! I’m the owner of Gather Vacation Rentals, a short-term rental business with nine beautiful homes throughout Utah. With nearly 10 years of experience, I truly love what I do—creating welcoming spaces where guests can relax, connect, and make memories. My husband and I love to travel, so I know how much a great place to stay can add to a trip. I take pride in creating thoughtfully curated homes with the comforts, conveniences, and special touches that help guests feel at home from the moment they arrive. Family is at the heart of everything I do. My husband and my son, who has Down syndrome, are my best friends. They both love sports, so naturally, I do too! I bring that same team spirit to hosting, believing that every guest should feel welcomed, cared for, and part of the Gather family. Whether you're visiting Utah for adventure, relaxation, a family gathering, a sporting event, or simply time together, my goal is to make your stay comfortable, seamless, and memorable. I’m so glad you’re here, and I look forward to welcoming you to Gather Vacation Rentals!
