Great value, will come again.

This home has a great layout for lots of people. Comfortable beds. Great kitchen space. Nice areas to relax. Nice space for young people to hang out. The pool table was in constant use. There were a few things that need attention, and we left a note for the owners regarding those. Our extended family visited and were impressed with the value for dollar. We will come again, if we can beat our extended family to it. :)

Great potential!

This property is in a great quiet location and has all the amenities listed. However, the cleanliness and upkeep were rather disappointing. Found multiple chipmunks nesting in the house and plenty of dead bugs and flies on floors and light fixtures that shouldn’t have been there if the house had been cleaned before we arrived.

Grandma's Ranch House

This house reminded me of the early days of VRBO when people were renting out their house for a weekend when they weren't using it. This house felt like it was grandma's old ranch property that her kids were renting out while grandma was away. In fact, a lot of the dishes, towels, etc. are the same ones my grandma has. It's off by itself on a dirt road, which is fantastic. But also made it difficult to find given that multiple dirt roads in the area have the same name on the map. It would help to have the owner send a screenshot of where it is on a map so you can find it at night. As another reviewer mentioned, the dishwasher wasn't working. It also looked like the septic tank had backed up into the basement bathroom since the last time someone cleaned it. It's a nice place to stay, especially if you want to be off on your own, or you're looking in this area where there aren't many options. But it definitely feels different than the other VRBOs I've stayed in during the last few years.

Amazing place

This is a great place to stay. I loved the remoteness of it. Great area to visit. We only wish we would have brought of side x side and 4 wheelers. I've heard it before that this place needs updating it does, that didn't bother us though. Thier is one room with a really hard mattress topper on it. Luckily for us we didn't that need though. Only downfall of the whole place.

Loved this rustic country charm house

The fridge needed to be wiped out. The rest was quite clean. Lots of flies but I don’t know if you can help that. Suggest maybe window coverings for those who don’t want to wake up at the crack of dawn. The French door wouldn’t work and the outside handle fell off when we tried to open it. All in all, we loved the arrangement and space! We had a family reunion in the area and had all my married kids and grandkids stay there. We would definitely stay there again!

Property was beautiful, but you feel like you're walking on eggshells b/c of an overzealous owner!!

Arrival- there were many flies buzzing around the inside of the house. House wasn't clean -piles of dead flies in the window seals, dirty fridges with many expired items taking up space. Also a very "funk" smell coming from the downstairs bedroom area -like a dead animal. Chose to ignore all if these negatives -had a great time at the property. We even did laundry, cleaned kitchen, swept, and killed many flies before we left. Worth mentioning -we dealt with 3 different people from the time we rented the cabin till our actual stay. Paydon was nice in the beginning when we first rented the property. Turned out to be a little impersonal as he wouldn't answer my calls, but instead sent a text message saying to contact Shasha when I tried to reach him closer to our rental date. Shasha turned out to be his sister, Alicia. No complaints about her -easy to deal with. She ended up traveling to the UK shortly before our stay, so she passed us off to Brenda, the mom. At first Brenda seemed nice. She answered any questions -no issues. It wasn't until our stay was over and I sent her a text message to thank her, that Brenda turned very nasty. She told us that we treated the property more poorly than any other guests (maybe they don't get many guests). Safe to say that we were all aghast that she would say this especially due to leaving the property borderline cleaner than when we arrived. One of the kids threw up on a sleeping bag which we tried to clean, but was too large to fit in the washing machine (what else could have been done?). Said the house cleaner found gum on the floor in the kids room. Brenda sent pictures, so it appeared that the gum was a simple matter of picking it up and throwing it away. She also claimed that we broke a picture. The picture fell down randomly when my wife was standing in the hall. Tried to put it back, but it was not secured very well at all (the reason it fell down in the first place). Tried calling Brenda right away to apologize & discuss the issues. She wouldn't answer my call & later sent me a text message saying she was watching a movie. I texted back & was very apologetic, but never got a call back (impersonal & unprofessional). Claimed via text it took 4 hours to clean house (may want to look at hiring a new cleaning person). Didn't know that they would file an insurance claim if cleaning was too long. Brenda's change in demeanor and attitude left a very sour taste in our mouths and made us want to warn others.

Great Adventure

We were here for only two nights. If you are looking for a quiet place but close to many adventures this is a great place. Large enough for a family gathering with enough space to “get away”! Would certainly stay here again! Only complaint was that it was hard to find in the dark but this also made it great for star gazing!

Perfect for a group on a Capitol Reef adventure

The house was very very comfortable and well appointed. We had 8 people the first few nights and every couple had their own nice room. We celebrated Thanksgiving there and cooking in their kitchen was easy and fun with lots of large pots, pans and plenty of table settings. The setting is beautiful as well. If we go to the area again with a group I will hope to reserve this house again.

Nice quiet location

Nice quiet location although we could sign onto the Internet, we couldn’t use it for anything. Would not even download a PDF. Cell service for some of us was also poor or nonexistent others with different service did fine. There were lots of flies, spiders and one toilet that had a sign on it not to use as it was out of service. Could use a little more maintenance but everything else was there that we could’ve needed. Beautiful views as well.

Great place, but no A/C

We stayed here in July. Very nice home in a secluded/private area. Our only real complaint is that the home does not have A/C. We opened windows at night but it didn’t cool the house off enough; we were still uncomfortable with the house temp trying to sleep at night. We were gone during the day, but it would have been too hot to hang out at the house in the afternoon. We loved the covered picnic/bbq patio, which is where we ate our dinner after dark bc the house was too warm. We used the two grills, but they were old and the lids are broken and didn’t stay open, making it a bit difficult. Loved the pool table and corn hole. It is a little over a 2 mile drive on a dirt road from the main town, but we found it easily with Apple Maps (google maps wouldn’t find it).

Great Ranch House!

Addressing previous reviews. Yes, its off the beaten path. That's part of its charm. Google maps took us right there with just the address. We loved not worrying about neighbors and getting away from it all. The stars at night are absolutely amazing! Yes, there are bugs. It wouldn't matter how much you sprayed- you are in the middle of nature. However, I would recommend to the host to install and/or replace some of the screens. When you are staying during the hottest months, the windows do need to be kept open during the night to keep it cool. The nights are cool so we would open them all during the night and then close them in the morning to trap the cool air in. There isn't air conditioning but we were fine when we did this. Our hottest day there was 85 and maybe for about 2 hours during the peak heat of the day it was a little stuffy inside. The other suggestions I would give is ceiling fans in the two bedrooms upstairs with vaulted ceilings. Those seemed to be the hardest rooms to cool. Everywhere else was fine. The Loft is too stuffy to sleep in during the hottest months as well since it doesn't have windows. It wasn't a big deal, we didn't need it, but it is something to be aware of. As far as cleanliness goes- the place was clean in my opinion. Yes, there is a toilet that could use a new top as it does look dirty but, it isn't. The window sills could use a good cleaning but the reason people are noticing them is because you open and close the windows a lot (which contributes to the dirt). It didn't bother me a ton. All the furniture, linens, and bathrooms were very clean. If you read the review about pictures falling off the walls- ignore it. There is no way. Everything in the house is well made and sturdy. The kitchen has the most appliances I have ever seen in a rental. There was a review about food being left in the fridge. That is true. It is very apparent that the owners use the place on a regular basis. It was mostly condiments in the fridge. I didn't mind that but I was surprised to find the freezer packed full. We had things that needed to be in there so we had to do a little rearranging. A simple solution to that would be for the host to put a fridge in the basement or garage. The outdoor space is awesome and we appreciated that we could have family join us in their trailers and tents. Loved that the pavilion had lights at night. Host is very kind and generous and responds quickly. Would definitely stay again!

This property is very rustic. The house is older and musty. It is down a dirt road for about 3 miles. There were mice. I did not receive any check in information and had to wait at the house for about 45 minutes until I got the manager on the phone. She did answer and I was able to get in.

Spacious area

This place was definitely off the beaten path. Difficult to find. but once we did find it (with the help of a friendly local) there was lots of outdoor space to enjoy with family/cousins. It is on a dirt/gravel road that is poorly marked, so I'd say 'ask for clarification' in the town before you drive all over and try to find it yourself. The kitchen was well stocked and roomy. They was lots of space to play outside and inside too. I think the owners of the home lived in the next house down the road, as they went by and waved. A ranch type property.

Sibling Getaway

We had a glorious weekend! All ten of us had just a wonderful time. The home has spacious gathering areas. It is completely isolated so no distractions or disturbances. Fabulous balconies and views. We even took advantage of the BBQ pavilion and the dear visiting the yard. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were great for the 5 couples. Everything you could ever need to cook, including Belgium waffle maker. The pool table did not function properly but we really didn't need it. The water pressure is great with plenty of hot water. The window coverings are sheer (do not black out) but there were plenty of extra sheets to use, we just draped a sheet over the curtain rod for those wanting darker rooms. All mattresses were comfortable except one, the lower bedroom. One bedroom had more extra twin beds. We visited Capitol Reef and drove our ATV around a bit. Highly recommend for a group.

Mandatory insurance

Mandatory insurance! We considered at fault advertising to list it as one rate and then require that we pay additional insurance as well. There were several uncomfortable beds, the toilet seats were in terrible visual condition. The master bedroom had no curtains to block the morning sun. The house itself was very spacious and had a good supply of cookware etc. It was a good place to spread out and relax.

About the host

Hosted by Alisha Neil

Host profile image
Mark Newman and his family have owned and has enjoyed this ranch for over 15 years. When asking Mark why he bought this property, he said ' I bought it so I had a place to go where no one could bother me.' Our family is from Riverton Utah. We are the outdoor/sporty type. We have spent many weekends hunting, fishing, hiking, riding motorcycles, ATVs and horses at this ranch.

Why they chose this property

It's located right between Fish Lake and Capital Reef National Park. Also, many miles of hiking and ATV trails can be access directly from the front porch.

What makes this property unique

We love making time to spend at Horse Valley. If we want to relax, there is no quieter place. If we want to plan a hike or adventure of any kind, the options are endless. There is a refreshing and revitalizing feeling that comes from a few days spent at the Horse Valley Ranch.
