The location is outstanding, you feel like you are like in the reef park, amazing views, quiet, all neighbors are far away. Clean air. The house itself is well equipped with everything you may need. Comfortable beds, great sleep. I am allergic and extremely sensitive to fur pets and dust, and this house was perfectly clean, no sign of allergy. Radon level tested very low, below 0.5. No chemical smell. Great tasting water, bring some containers to fill up and take with you. You can see lots of stars at night. You may see deers and rabbits nearby. Great kitchen with everything, nice dining table, combortable main room. Many windows.

10/10 for location and stunning views! Amazing sunrises and beautiful starry nights. Very well stocked and large kitchen. We loved having a kettle and tea pot complete with tea cozy! Plenty of towels etc. High quality washer and dryer. The water supply is from a local spring and is wonderful. Great not having to buy bottled water for hiking etc. Great dining room with excellent views. Very quiet location with a comfortable sitting room to relax after long hikes. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommended!
Starry nights.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The host was both proactive and responsive. The views are amazing. Breathtaking sunrises. Glorious vistas during the day. Awe-inspiring stars at night. The location is ideal for access to Capitol Reef which has become one of our favorite national parks. The home was clean and well-stocked with nice amenities. For example, we used the French press coffee maker daily. Nice touch. Very good Wi-Fi.The home has a few quirks (What home doesn’t?), though we found them to be more charming than problematic. We would stay here again should we choose to visit this area in the future. Highly recommended.

Charming little cottage conveniently located a short drive from Capitol reef national Park. This cottage is equipped with everything you your friends and family would need for a comfortable clean pleasant stay.

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.

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!

Capitol Reef Fall Trip

The Cottage is located in a stunning setting with beautiful views from every window. It’s convenient to restaurants in Torrey and 15 minutes from Capitol Reef. The kitchen had everything you’d need and new appliances. The beds were comfortable. The stars in this area are incredible. It’s a Dark Sky area and we enjoyed stargazing each night. Wonderful trip!

Cozy and comfortable setting for exploring

We loved our stay at the cottage, and will look at rebooking in the future. The house is just as described in the listing; it shows its age in some ways (the bath needs updating, which they know), and is new and refreshed in others (the kitchen and living space are well appointed and comfortable). We especially loved knowing the history of the buildings, and look forward to seeing what the owners do with the property over time. The owner was extremely responsive to any messages we sent, and I believe was sincere in hoping our family (two adults, two tweens) had a great stay -- and we did!

Comfortable home away from home

A chef's kitchen - particularly well designed and fully equipped. Colorful designer living room. Very spacious dining table with large picture windows. Bathrooms small but adequate. Mia provided good directions and instructions, and responded quickly to our questions. There were 360 degree scenic views of cliffs and mountains, and nights were quiet and dark for sleeping.

Amazing property in an amazing location

Mia’s cottage was perfect for us for 5 nights home we explored the Capital Reef area. Having come from Moab, this was the best quiet place for the 2nd half of our Utah adventure. After hiking all day, the cottage was perfect. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever stayed in, and we travel A LOT. She’s labeled everything in the house so that you’re not wondering which switch works which light. Many blankets, comfortable bed, clean, stocked, and amazing location just outside Capital Reef in the western little town of Torrey was a big hit for us. Theres a little market close to the house that has everything you may need in a pinch. (We did our big food shopping at Walmart in Price on the way to Moab.) We saw mule deer in the yard morning. We went south to Escalante to hike and the drive over Boulder Mtn was amazing and easy to get to from her cottage. Would def stay again.

Spring shoulder season perfection

Sand creek cottage is sites such that every window and door opens onto a spectacular high desert red rock & mountain vie. Our stay included an unforecast, overnight snow, which made us appreciate the comfortable living area and wood stove even more. The cottage is a great home base for adventures in the surrounding Capitol Reef/grand Staircase- Escalante area and resting afterwards. Mia, the host, responded quickly to all messages and made our stay seamless.

One of the most satisfying experiences

Difficult to list all the superlatives: beautiful views, home-like experience, very well stocked kitchen with even sharp knives, lots of games, books, puzzles; great wood burning stove with lots of seasoned logs and kindling, even had yoga mats. Mia was most responsive, typically within minutes. Can’t say enough positives. Close enough to Capitol Reef NP. I forgot a toothbrush and of course the cottage had 2 new ones. I
