Jailer`s Cottage | 130-Year-Old Gem | Sleeps 12

The Jailer`s Cottage: Historic Charm on Over an Acre

Welcome to our enchanting turn-of-the-century home in the quiet, quaint town of Spring City. Sitting on over an acre next to the 165-year-old rock jailhouse (still intact!), this unique 130-year-old cottage offers authentic charm and modern comfort for your Central Utah getaway.

The Space:

This spacious home features 4 bedrooms including a large loft with 5 beds, a cozy living room, and a generous kitchen—plenty of room for family and friends to spread out and relax.

Sleeping Arrangements (Sleeps 12-14):
• Sarah`s Room: Queen bed (sleeps 2)
• Claire`s Alfred Owl Room: Double bed (sleeps 2)
• Two Sister`s Hideout: Queen bed + twin bed (sleeps 3)
• The Loft: 5 twin beds, 2 fold-out sleepers (sleeps 5-7)

Bed linens and bath towels provided for all guests.

About the Bathroom:

For over 60 years, large families used the existing outhouse and wash tub. A pink bathtub was added around 1950, followed by a toilet and small sink a few years later. Today, you get to experience this piece of history as it has been for the past 70+ years - a charming reminder of simpler times.

Outdoor Space & Parking:

Expansive grounds perfect for parking, yard games, and gatherings. RV-friendly with dedicated parking space, full hookups, and sewer connection available (additional fees apply to cover power, water, and sewer expenses).

Location Highlights:

Just steps from Spring City`s treasures:
• 2 blocks from Horseshoe Canyon Road
• 3 blocks from Old Schoolhouse Museum
• 3 blocks from City Park featuring playground, large rotunda fire pit, endless lawn, baseball field, and covered pavilions
• Short drive to Mount Pleasant and Ephraim
• 17 miles (20 minutes) to the beautiful Manti Temple and Temple Hill

Perfect For:

Family Reunions: Spacious layout and outdoor areas ideal for large gatherings near all local historical sites.

Hunters: Minutes from some of Utah`s best hunting locations.

Writers & Artists: Spring City`s quiet, somewhat secluded setting offers unique scenery and endless inspiration.

Nature Lovers: Amazing wildlife abounds, and with so few street lights, stargazing on clear nights is spectacular. You may never want to leave!

Nearby Adventures:

Palisades State Park (30 minutes): Enjoy paddle boats, paddleboarding, fishing, beach picnicking, and the stunning Palisades Golf Course. Some of the most gorgeous scenery in the county.
