Marysvale Adventure Retreat

Summary:
Welcome to our immaculate 3bd 2ba home in Marysvale. Sleeps 8, with kings in 2 rooms, queen bunks in the third. Amenities include a 6-person sauna, 2-car garage, huge covered parking sheds, WiFi, 3 TVs, gym, yard games, work desk, laundry, standing ice maker, and a stunning back patio. Bring your side-by-sides and explore the Paiute Trail system.

The Space:
This newer house with majestic 360-degree views is located in the mountain town of Marysvale between the Tusher Mountains and what locals call Monroe Mountain. It’s a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom single level rambler that sleeps 8 comfortably (2 rooms with king beds, and a third room with queen bunk beds). And, if you’d like to employ a camp trailer or fifth wheel to hook on to the utilities (power, septic, and water), you can do that so long as the total overnight guest count is no more than 10. You belong among the wildflowers!

If you’re relaxing around the house, start your morning right with a few minutes in the brand-new sauna. Enjoy our coffee station with complimentary coffee, tea and all the fixins. And if you want to watch something you just can’t miss, we have 3 televisions, with satellite TV. You also have more than enough places to kick back and read.

Kick your feet up on the back patio, open up a beverage, and kill off the hours next to a fire with an unobstructed view of Monroe Peak. The back patio is furnished with an outdoor sofa, propane fireplace, outdoor heater, and outdoor dining set.

If you feel like a little entertainment at home, challenge your friends or family to any number of yard games (horseshoes, bocce ball, giant jenga, corn hole, spike ball, and others) or board games we’ve stashed away just for you.

You are invited to use our 30 foot long 2 car enclosed garage that, believe it or not, is intended to be a shining focal spot of our house. With epoxy floors, large icemaker, dedicated dog station, storage racks for all your gear, a hose with hot and cold water this is day-adventurer's dream.
You’re also welcome to make use of our covered parking sheds–40’ deep 12’ tall steel covered shed, and 30’ deep 7’9” tall parking shed. We also have plenty of other room on our 5 acre property to park any other toys and trailers you want to bring.

If you would like a workout far away from trouble and worry, you found the place. In addition to the endless trails you can take for a scenic run, hike or bike, we’ve built a small home gym in one of our sheds with an assault bike, dumbbells, and an assortment of simple exercise equipment. And don’t forget the sauna after!

If you’re in the mood to go away somewhere all bright and new, your options of things to do and places to see are endless. Marysvale is well known for its Paiute ATV Trail system with over 1000 miles of marked trails plus another 1500 miles of forest service roads. The Jeep, OHV and ATV friendly roads take you from deep canyons to alpine forests, seemingly endless waterfalls, mountain lakes, and breathtaking views at elevations over 11,000 feet. Draw the hunt of a lifetime on the Beaver, Monroe, or neighboring Dutton hunting unit? We want your memories to begin here. We have plenty of room for your machines, pack animals, trailers, and even a complimentary dust spray off spot. Go for a fish at Otter Creek, a world class trout fishery, or explore some of the nearby less well-known streams or mountain lakes. Take an easy hike to photo worthy Bullion Falls or gear up to hike nearby peaks that reach heights of over 12,000 feet. Float or swim in the Sevier River in the summer. Run, walk, or bike along the Big Rock Candy Mountain Trail. Or, if you want to cross three of Utah’s five Mighty 5 National Parks off your list (Bryce Canyon, Zion, or Capitol Reef), you won’t find a more centralized basecamp.

Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’ll need to cook a nice dinner (except food). We also have an outside BBQ and Camp Chef 2-burner stove if you’d like to do some cooking outside. If you come when the season is right, you’re welcome to grab some fruit or vegetables from our garden to add to your home cooked meals.

Guest Access:
This house sits on 5 acres. You have plenty of parking for boats, ATV trailers, horse trailers and camp trailers etc…so long as a big rain or snow doesn’t make the property extraordinarily muddy. If it becomes unseasonably wet, we would ask that you employ the two covered parking sheds (30 and 40 feet long), 30 foot 2-car garage, and paved driveway for your vehicles. We will accommodate one other camp trailer or fifth-wheel to be hooked on to the house utilities (including septic). Marysvale City does not allow us to entertain more than 10 guests on the property overnight so please limit your total overnight count to 10. And also please limit ATV use to egress and ingress only.

If you bring an ATV, we offer a complimentary spray off spot near our back sheds. However, please conserve water because this area of Utah is in a drought, and if your machine is extra muddy, please consider whether professional car wash would be a more appropriate/considerate place for the mud.

We also have a fenced area to accommodate your horses, mules, llamas or goats. Please just let us know a couple weeks in advance if you plan to bring these critters so we can plan accordingly.

The Neighborhood:
Quiet secluded neighborhood with only 3 other houses nearby. The home sits 1/8th of a mile above Bullion Canyon Road for access to Paiute ATV trail system. The house lives on Timberline Drive, which is a a dead end road, and there is almost no traffic around the house.

Getting Around:
We have all the parking you need. You likely won't find Uber here and you'll need to rent or bring your own vehicles, bikes or ATVs/OHVs to get around. We have connections to a local OHV rental company who can deliver machines to the house if you'd like to rent a machine for a day. However, Marysvale city does not allow joyriding on our property so please limit ATV/OHV use on the property to ingress and egress only.

Other Things to Note:
Please come prepared with everything you need to eat/drink. Marysvale is remote. It only has one gas station open during limited hours, and a couple restaurants (Tomatoes Pizza, and a small hot dog restaurant) that have very limited hours. We hear there are plans for more establishments, including a bar, but time will tell. This is one of the reasons we love Marysvale–it’s small, remote and unpredictable. Big Rock Candy Mountain Restaurant, located about ten minutes away, is also open after May 1 seven days a week. Junction, the nearest small town (with a very small market) is located fifteen minutes away, and the nearest grocery stores as well as big box stores are over 30 minutes away in Richfield. If you’re in the mood for a fantastic steak, check out Steve’s Steakhouse in Richfield.

Interaction with Guests:
Hosts will be available through app communication between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM. Because hosts have kids and day jobs that require their attention, there certainly may be short delays in communication. We expect our guests can solve simple problems (like using a plunger) if little issues arise. In true emergencies we can have people available to attempt to solve the problem. Again, however, because Marysvale is very remote, there could be delays in the response time for our team so please have patience.
