About this property

#6 Home in the Heart of Utah

Nestled in the heart of Torrey, Utah just 5 minutes from spectacular Capitol Reef National Park, with many restaurants and hiking/biking trails right out the front door, this is the place to stay while exploring the mountains and desert nearby. There is excellent internet and cell coverage perfect for working remotely. 
You'll love this spacious apartment! It has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing your favorite meals with views right from the large windows.
There are two spacious bedrooms with queen size beds in each. The bathroom has an illuminated mirror, sink and vanity area and a shower/tub combo. It is fully stocked with everything you might need while away from home.
The living room/dining area has two large, comfy recliners and a large couch to relax and watch the flatscreen TV. The private laundry room is fully stocked and supplied with everything you might need.
When you arrive, you will go up the front stairs to your private entrance on the east side of the building, Door #4. There is a keyless contactless entry system.  We will supply you with the entry code after booking and before your check-in date. The backdoor opens onto a large deck and an expansive view of Velvet Ridge Mesa and steps leading down to a spacious 3/4 acre, fully fenced backyard. There is ample free parking.
I have hosted nightly rentals homes since 2016 and I recently bought this space- May 2021. During this new management transition I will be working out all the hiccups and getting to know the property. It is a work in progress and my aim is to make your travels and your stay as relaxing and convenient as possible.
The house has 4 apartments in it. Three of them are connected via sealed entrances that can be opened for large groups. There will be other people sharing the building during your stay, so expect to share walls, parking, porches, and the backyard. I live close by and I am available via messaging/phone all the time and you can contact or message me with any questions or needs. I love meeting new people and hearing about your travels.
Other things to note
THERE IS NO GROCERY STORE IN TORREY. The nearest shopping is in Loa, Utah- 17 miles away. Come prepared with groceries or contact Danielle and arrange to have groceries delivered in advance for a nominal fee

Weather: Torrey is located at 6,800 ft above sea level, so we thankfully don’t get the intense heat that other desert towns experience. Summertime temperatures range from the mid 80's to low 90's during the day and mid 50's to mid 60's at night. Winter high temps are mostly in the mid 30’s to lower 50’s with a few days in the 20’s. Snow doesn't stay long in Torrey but there is plenty of it up on nearby Boulder Mountain.
Thank you for your interest in Home in the Heart of Utah. Do not hesitate to reach out with suggestions and feedback of how your stay could be improved and what you loved about your time with us.

About the host

I speak Spanish as well as English. I Love traveling and all things outdoors; hiking, biking, canyoneering. Native to Utah, I've been all over the world. I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I am a horticulturalist and yoga instructor by trade. Through my extensive travels I have learned the importance of a comfortable and secure home base. My aim is to create that for you during your stay at Desert Dwelling Inn. I look forward to sharing Utah's spectacular landscape with you while you enjoy the comforts of home.

I have a system in place for limited interaction, a contactless check in and check out system. I am available via messaging/phone at all times and you can contact me with anything you need anytime.
I have hosted vacation rental homes on and off since 2017 and I recently bought this property in May 2021. I am excited the fun updates and improvements I will bring to this property. This is my life's work in progress and I am excited to share it with you.
