Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay and took advantage of the sunrises/sunsets on the rooftop deck! The fire pit was very relaxing and we had a great BBQ. It was removed enough from the main town to have plenty of peace and quiet yet not too far away from everything. We would highly recommend this VRBO to everyone!

Peaceful paradise near Capitol Reef

If you're looking for a private property with amazing views very near Capitol Reef, look no further. No neighbors, natural landscaping so all the creatures visit, rooftop deck, etc. This was the best rental we've stayed in...... ever. The "steel house" served as a wonderful home base for all the adventures in and around Capitol Reef. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Rose

Host profile image
My husband and I first saw this area in 1995, when we were touring all the national parks in Utah. We hadn't planned to stop in Torrey/Teasdale, but we were having such a good time we decided to take an extra day before going to Bryce from Bluff. We fell in love with Capitol Reef, Torrey, and Teasdale, and two weeks after going home came back again and bought land. Always wanted to build but never could do it. Then saw this house and fell in love again! Sold land, bought house, and here we are!! I am a writer and retired college professor. My husband is an illustrator. We live in Key West, Florida, but our hearts are in the red rock country.

Why they chose this property

It is perfectly sited. You feel on top of the world yet protected, near what you need, but secluded. There is a sense of spaciousness inside and out, light and ease. The decor is simple and calming. This house is a portal to nature. You can go up on the roof to look at the sunrise, sunset, stars. You can sit outside at the fire pit or walk the labyrinth. But even if you're inside, you have the natural world all around you. You can sit in the living room and watch birds fly among the junipers and pinyons close to the house. You see occasional rabbits (close) and deer (beyond our fencing), and, across the road, cattle. Verdant fields growing livestock crops trace much of Teasdale Road, with their cheerful irrigation sprinklers on most of the day, and, looking up, Boulder Mountain and beautiful sandstone formations like the Coxcomb and Fish Creek Cove face you as you drive to Torrey for the proverbial quart of milk and home again.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to Torrey but peace, quiet, privacy at the same time. Two completely separate bedrooms make it perfect for two couples. Music throughout the house from built-in speakers. Air jets in master bath for soothing water massage after hiking. Laid out for hikers and fishermen with optional entrance through garage, with bench and storage for outdoor gear. Well-equipped kitchen. Baskets, photographs, and a spectacular wood sculpture by Michael Bauermeister. Not a generic hotel or rental house, this is the home of two people who seek beauty in art and nature.
