Peace, quiet and lovely design

We spent three nights in May and will certainly return. The steel house is one of the cleanest and most thoughtfully designed and stocked rentals we've found. It's a tranquil, comfortable home about five minutes from Torrey, 25 minutes from Capitol Reef Park. We hiked near the house and in the park, went to dinner in Torrey and also cooked in so we could enjoy the gas fire pit and the sunsets. We wanted to stargaze from the rooftop deck but kept falling asleep too early.

Wonderful Stay

We loved our stay and took advantage of the sunrises/sunsets on the rooftop deck! The fire pit was very relaxing and we had a great BBQ. It was removed enough from the main town to have plenty of peace and quiet yet not too far away from everything. We would highly recommend this VRBO to everyone!

A tranquil retreat

This is a beautiful home with gorgeous views and tasteful decor. The place was very neat and well appointed. We used the kitchen to make breakfast every morning and did our laundry. We enjoyed the surround sound speakers and didn’t miss the tv. The check in was very easy, although google maps initially sent us to the wrong spot on the road. I would recommend using the Steele house marker as a better reference. The location was perfect: close to Capitol Reef but secluded and quiet. We did a lot of hiking and driving and got good rest at night. We enjoyed the views from the rooftop although the days we were there were a bit chilly and too windy for the fire pit. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again if in the area. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

Beautiful Home with Beautiful Views

A beautiful property tucked away from nearby neighbors. The bed was comfy, the home very clean with lovely touches. The rooftop views were gorgeous and we enjoyed stargazing at night. The large driveway and access to the garage was a nice bonus. We saw deer and a black-tailed jackrabbit roaming the property. Excellent experience!

Relax away from the crowds

We prefer homes in quiet locations with outside views & the Steel House did not disappoint. Large windows in the main room brought the outside in (many birds, jackrabbits, & a deer family were regular visitors). We enjoyed lunch & relaxing on the large back porch. The upper deck was a highlight & became an evening ritual for sunset views & discussions of our daily hikes. The stargazing was superb & we were fortunate to observe the comet visible in Oct. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect getaway - didn't want to leave

Loved staying at this property In fact, within a couple of hours of arrival we had contacted the owner to extend our stay Very relaxing and comfortable home Lots of amenities - including rooftop, firepit and luxury bath. Great position to explore Capital Reef - also highly recommended. We even had deer visit on our last morning. The only reason we wouldn't return is that we live nearly 8000 miles away! Highly recommend.

Complete relaxation

The house, property, and location were utterly relaxing for my husband and me. We watched a herd of deer move through the land mornings and one evening. The rooftop patio is a beautiful place to enjoy the view. The short drive to Capital Reef was ideal because our main focus was hiking.

A Fabulous Home

This is a beautiful and modern house in a private and rather spectacular setting out on the mesa. The bedrooms and baths are at opposite ends of the house, ensuring privacy for two couples. The kitchen was well-equipped for two determined cooks. Highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect oasis near Capitol Reef

We simply could not have chosen a better place to stay for our last leg of our 2 week Utah trip. From the moment we walked in the door, this gorgeous contemporary home filled us with a sense of peace and comfort. The setting just added to that feeling. We could have easily come to the Capitol Reef area and never made it to the park because we were just so darn comfortable here. Stargazing and sunrise watching bookended each day. We happily prepared meals in the well equipped kitchen. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, we would return here in a nanosecond.

Close to Capitol Reef

The house is conveniently located near the park, which made it a great base for our day hiking. The house was quiet and in the middle of nature. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great when we were there, so we were unable to enjoy the rooftop deck. I hate to even mention this, as I don't go on vacation to watch TV, but the house has one very small smart TV located in the MBR. Given the weather, it would have been nice to have a more comfortable place to watch TV in the evening.

Great retreat after days exploring Capitol Reef National Park

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay in the unique “Steel House.” It is located in a fabulous setting, close to the National Park, but with privacy and quiet. Very clean and comfortable with lots of supplies, well equipped kitchen, and lots of storage. Communication and access was easy. We appreciated having the use of the garage, too. We especially enjoyed the roof top deck for star gazing in this “dark sky” community. Phyliss gave us a great suggestion to use Sleeping Rainbow Adventures for a jeep tour. However, they ended up contracting with Jason of Waterpocket Adventure Company. We had a fabulous day exploring Cathedral Valley with him. Capitol Reef National Park is an undiscovered National Park well worth visiting.

Excellent home

Wonderful home with the perfect location for exploring Capitol Reef. We visited during some very hot days so it was a nice surprise to be able to park inside the garage, not normally offered in a rental. Roof top deck was incredible, especially for sunrise. Even in hot weather the backyard got afternoon shade making it comfortable to sit outside, use the grill, etc. Only complaint would be the photos posted don’t capture how great this house really was.

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Rose

Host profile image
My husband and I first saw this area in 1995, when we were touring all the national parks in Utah. We hadn't planned to stop in Torrey/Teasdale, but we were having such a good time we decided to take an extra day before going to Bryce from Bluff. We fell in love with Capitol Reef, Torrey, and Teasdale, and two weeks after going home came back again and bought land. Always wanted to build but never could do it. Then saw this house and fell in love again! Sold land, bought house, and here we are!! I am a writer and retired college professor. My husband is an illustrator. We live in Key West, Florida, but our hearts are in the red rock country.

Why they chose this property

It is perfectly sited. You feel on top of the world yet protected, near what you need, but secluded. There is a sense of spaciousness inside and out, light and ease. The decor is simple and calming. This house is a portal to nature. You can go up on the roof to look at the sunrise, sunset, stars. You can sit outside at the fire pit or walk the labyrinth. But even if you're inside, you have the natural world all around you. You can sit in the living room and watch birds fly among the junipers and pinyons close to the house. You see occasional rabbits (close) and deer (beyond our fencing), and, across the road, cattle. Verdant fields growing livestock crops trace much of Teasdale Road, with their cheerful irrigation sprinklers on most of the day, and, looking up, Boulder Mountain and beautiful sandstone formations like the Coxcomb and Fish Creek Cove face you as you drive to Torrey for the proverbial quart of milk and home again.

What makes this property unique

Easy access to Torrey but peace, quiet, privacy at the same time. Two completely separate bedrooms make it perfect for two couples. Music throughout the house from built-in speakers. Air jets in master bath for soothing water massage after hiking. Laid out for hikers and fishermen with optional entrance through garage, with bench and storage for outdoor gear. Well-equipped kitchen. Baskets, photographs, and a spectacular wood sculpture by Michael Bauermeister. Not a generic hotel or rental house, this is the home of two people who seek beauty in art and nature.
