Welcome to the Indian Ridge Lodge, run by the Maxfield family, who lives here year-around. This is a rustic, remote bed and breakfast on 160 acres in rural Sanpete County with five themed bedrooms, a game room, and a 2,000 square foot great room. The Game Room is complete with pool table, foosball table, ping-pong table, couches, etc. We are conveniently located between Manti and Provo, just far enough from each for excellent stargazing on clear nights.
This rental includes a full, hot breakfast for 16, served sometime between 8:00 and 9:30 (contact us to arrange exact breakfast time), or we can serve up a little breakfast snack if you want breakfast between 6:00 and 8:00. (It wouldn't be nearly as good, so we don't recommend it.) :) Breakfasts for groups larger than 16 may be arranged for $8 per additional person. (Note: contact us at least two weeks in advance to order catered breakfasts.)
The charming bedrooms are located on the basement level that houses the Game Room, while the 2,000 square foot Great Room is on the main floor. The main floor is great for handicapped-accessibility, but the basement is accessed via the code-compliant staircase. If you have difficulty traversing stairs, we can show you how to get in and out of the basement through an unfinished storage room but it wouldn't be very glamorous or convenient for you. Please contact us for more details if there's any possibility of this being a concern.
Nine futons are located in the common areas for extra sleeping capacity. All bedrooms have at least one bunk and all bunks are carpeted -- we do not provide foam pads. We recommend bringing your own gear for the bunks and futons but if you forget a sleeping bag or two, sleeping bag rentals are $10 each for entire stay, without regard to length of stay.
Maximum overnight occupancy for the entire place is 40 or so (including children) with people sleeping on bunks, futons, etc. (Please thoroughly review accommodations and make sure they are satisfactory before booking, as this number includes 2 people on each queen and double, and a child on each bunk.)
There is seating for over sixty in the Great Room, so events like weddings and receptions can be held with as many as two hundred people or more in an open house format where everyone doesn't show up at the same time.
In addition to the bathrooms inside each of the five bedrooms, there is a handicapped-accessible family restroom on the main level, and in the basement we have a four-stall women's restroom, and a three-stall men's restroom.
Guest have their own kitchen in the Great Room complete with range, refrigerator, etc. so they can prepare their own meals. Additionally, access to the semi-commercial shared kitchen is available if needed or contact us to give you a quote on catering. Either way, please make sure to communicate with us so everyone is on the same page -- even the nearest small-town grocery is still nearly twenty miles away. Please bring your own paper plates and serving ware for any meals that are not catered.
Check-in is from 3:00-8:00 PM and Check-out is 11:00 AM. It may be possible to make special arrangements with advanced notice; please check with us BEFORE you book if you want us to make an exception, and please let us know ASAP if you are running late.
Contact us with any inquiries you may have. We are happy to hear from you and see if we can accommodate your specific needs. Once you get here, we should be around and available to answer any of your questions since we live full-time in the end of the Lodge that we don't rent out.
This place serves as a great pad to launch you into nearby Skyline Drive, historic Milburn, scenic Nebo Loop, renowned Maple Canyon (known for its rock-climbing), stunning Spring City, etc., and it's about forty minutes from Manti. Other tourist attractions include nearby fishing, hiking, mountain climbing, cycling, ATV trails, and elk ranches. Fifteen minutes away are Fairview's Museum and public park, which is complete with tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground. We are also within twenty-five minutes of a golf course and a swimming pool.
Alternatively, the lounge areas with five freestanding stoves in the great room, game room, and cozy mini-library make this lodge an inviting place if you're looking for a comfortable place to just chill and unplug; far, far away from the cares of the city, news, and television.
Off-grid location!
We are completely isolated from any power company, and harvest our power from the sun and wind. We do have a beefy battery and back-up generator to fill in the gaps.
Free Wifi is included with stay.
Unfortunately, we do not have facilities to accommodate pets indoors or outdoors.
This facility is non-smoking but we do have cigarette disposal receptacles outside for your convenience.
