Magical Mountain View Retreat: Romantic Swim Spa-Hot Tub, Fire Pit & cozy nights

Welcome! I’m Melanie. My love of hospitality began in 1989, when we opened a bed-and-breakfast. I grew up on a ranch in Hanna, Utah, served a mission in Japan, attended BYU, and raised four wonderful children. We also welcomed nine others into our home, whom we consider our own. They all played a role in our love of hospitality.

Our beautiful Escalante Bed and Breakfast was an old home built in 1890 that we lovingly remodeled. We treasure that time with our bed and breakfast guests. In the evening, we would enjoy homemade cookies and milk, while sharing stories and getting to know them. In the mornings, Our little girls, Angela and Sara, served breakfast to our guests while serenading them on the karaoke machine. Those are some of our most treasured memories.

In 2023, my son and I remodeled and opened the Riverside Airbnb—a private oasis with the Spanish Fork River running through the backyard, also providing a charming log cabin, fire pit and a relaxing hot tub for our guests to enjoy .

Today, my daughters, Angela and Sara, the same two little girls who serenaded our guest at the bed-and-breakfast, join me in hosting the Magical Mountain View Retreat in beautiful Salem, Utah. Together, we have thoughtfully curated a peaceful and comfortable retreat featuring a Bullfrog swim spa/hot tub, fire pits, comfortable outdoor seating areas, and cozy indoor living spaces with all the amenities needed to feel like a home away from home.

Our very favorite part of hosting is making new, forever friends from all over the world. We genuinely love welcoming our guests and are available whenever you need us. Our hope is that you arrive as guests and leave feeling like friends.

As Disney would say, “Be our guest”—Come feel the magic” at the Beautiful Magical Mountain View Retreat!

WHY WE CHOSE THIS PROPERTY

We chose this property for its breathtaking mountain views—peaceful and serene during the day, then beautifully illuminated by sparkling far away city lights at night. The backyard borders a protected bird refuge, ensuring that no future buildings will obstruct the scenery. This rare setting offers guests lasting privacy, open views, abundant wildlife, and a quiet atmosphere to enjoy throughout their stay.

The backyard also sits next to Salem Park, where walking, running, and biking trail, lead to a spacious pavilion with large playground, parking, drinking fountains, and restrooms. Children will love the large playground, while the open fields provide plenty of space for soccer, kickball, flag football, Frisbee, volleyball, and other outdoor activities. We also provide outdoor game equipment for guests to enjoy.

The retreat is conveniently located near the Spanish Fork ( FITCITY) Recreation Center, which features exercise facilities and outdoor water slides. It is also close to the Spanish Fork Fairgrounds and the famous Dugout Cinnamon Rolls. Stores, restaurants, entertainment, and other attractions in both Spanish Fork, Salem and Provo are just minutes away.

Even with so many amenities and attractions nearby, this retreat feels like your own private, peaceful oasis, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
