Cute cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute desert cottage. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed for cooking after long days of hiking. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the house and star gazing at night. Mia made sure to check in frequently to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay.

What a wonderful home! Fantastic stay!!

We absolutely loved this home and its location! It was very well equipped, quiet and comfortable. There are lots of books, games and brochures to check out. The home is very close to Capital Reef and walkable to town. We will definitely be back!

Perfect spot, very quiet and private

Mia was fantastic and easy to communicate with, she was such a help. The house is exactly as listed, it worked out great for 2 adult couples. Two similar bedrooms upstairs with the bathroom in between, everyone is equal. The kitchen was stocked with EVERYTHING, living room cozy, and great views out of every window. Out of our four nights, we only had one good for stargazing, but it's PERFECT for it!

Perfect for stargazing

Great location, very close to Capitol Reef. Torrey has restaurants, gas station, etc. If the skies are clear at night, it's perfect for star gazing. Communication with owner is the best we've had for a rental.

Enjoyed our stay

We spent two nights at the "cottage" and will book again if we are planning to be in the area. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and there was a huge internet connected flat screen TV. The views of the rimrock, sunrise, and sunset were spectacular.

Cozy Capitol Reef Cottage

We loved our stay! We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable from soft and comfortable bedding to cooking utensils. The town of Torrey is just minutes from Capitol Reef which made coming and going hassle free. Our hosts were great too. We look forward to staying there again.

Excellent place to stay in Torrey

I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties and this was one of the best. A true 5 star in every possible category: the place itself, privacy, location, views, access to restaurants and outdoor activities, host communications, and household supplies. HIGHLY recommended. Next time we come back, we’ll definitely stay here.

Sand creek cottage

Had a fabulous stay at this cozy cottage. Very close to capital reef NP. Loved the kitchen and wood burning stove (wood was supplied which was great). If you stay here during off season, be sure to bring food and drink with you as most places close in Nov. Mia, our host, was very attentive and helpful!

Beautiful quiet location

A restful oasis at the end of a dead-end dessert road. There are neighbors nearby, by the vibe is very low-key. Proximity to Captial Reef and Boulder Mountain made for easy exploring days and a place of cool rest in the afternoon on 100+ degree days.

About the host

Hosted by Mia Hayes

I’m a schoolteacher and my husband is a civil engineer. We live in Salt Lake City. We love the desert and national parks.

Why they chose this property

We bought this cottage because we love Torrey and all the magnificent national parks in southern Utah. My mother lives there as well! We travel all over the world but Torrey tops our favorites list. We have two adult daughters who adore staying in the cottage. You’ll love it too.

What makes this property unique

The views from every room in the house are unparalleled. Views of snow-capped mountains and red-rock cliffs.
The kitchen is as well equipped as it's possible to be.
