Great place for family and friends

Great place with lots of room for everyone. There were 7 of us ranging in age from 11 to 62 and the house gave us lots of options and space.

Great Place to stay in Monticello, UT

Stayed here a few nights with our family. Very clean home and great furnishings. The bathrooms and bedrooms are recently remodeled and nicely done. Very quiet location in town at the end of a street.

Great stay in a wonderful town

This house had the perfect space for our group. It was clean and well stocked. We were happy to be there during some nice weather as there is an ac unit instead of central AC.

We had a very comfortable stay in the cottage. The house is located in a quiet neighborhood. All of the rooms were exceedingly comfortable. The bed in the Master suite is probably the most comfortable bed I've ever encountered at a VRBO. The master bathroom is likewise a delight with its double shower.The living room is spacious and made visiting easy and comfortable. The A/C units provided kept us adequately cool in daytime, open windows at night let a cool breeze in.There is a patio off the master and sitting out there at night you can see the stars so clearly. There is a clear and unobstructed view of the mountain in the mornings and you're likely to see deer wandering through the yard. I cook, so the lack of a full sized oven was a disappointment, but the countertop oven served us well enough when I found a pan that fit and we pulled off a bread pudding for breakfast. The stovetop was also a challenge, it's gas and a bit of antique. The host graciously allowed is to check-in early, but the previous residents (perhaps many previous residents?) had left a freezer full of oddities behind. The housekeeper stopped by to clean it out for us when requested and I appreciate the clear and helpful communication.The piano was such a gift to us. My family all play and the keys were never silent if we were awake and in the house. Since we were in town for a funeral, having those keys helped us with grieving. I wish every house had a piano as the centerpiece.

Enjoyable Stay

The house and beds were comfortable. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay with the exception of not being told the oven did not work, and no curtains in the huge living room window which heated up the house every afternoon. With a little TLC it could be a real vacation oasis.

Nice view, very quiet.

The property is still being improved, but once the owner has a chance to add a few amenities and clean up the yard a little, it will be great. Owner was very responsive to our request and fixed a couple of small problems right away.

Lovely Home! Nice town!

Great home for family from Oregon and Michigan to meet to view annular solar eclipse. Nice base for traveling to gorgeous sites in southeastern Utah. (Valley of the Gods was stunning location for eclipse viewing!) Home was quite comfortable. Some beds a little nicer than others. Great nighttime viewing of Milky Way from backyard.

Perfect stay!

This place was perfect for our family reunion. Very clean and comfortable. Little extras were provided to make it cozy. Kitchen was stocked with spices, tea, utensils etc. Unique and interesting decor in every room. Great communication with host. Beautiful view of mountain from a few rooms. Cute little sleep loft for a kid (we did not use). Would highly recommend!

Great rental!

Super easy to get there, lots of room for everyone. Oven didn’t work but there was an air fryer/toaster oven situation on the counter that worked. As the other reviewers mentioned, there is no AC but fans in each room. Most everything is closed on Sundays so make preparations ahead of time for food and groceries.

Quirky Cabin with excellent view of snow capped mountains in great location!

This house was perfect for our group of three couples. The view of the snowy mountains from the large living room window or the back door sitting area was awesome! There is no conventional oven and limited dishes which made cooking and eating meals here a bit challenging, but we managed. We especially liked the location, less than one and a half hours to South Canyonland National Park area (the Needles and Elephant Hill) , which we were thankfully able to hike. We started the hike at 10 AM, but they closed the road due to no parking availability when we exited 2 1/2 hours later, so plan to arrive early if hiking .There is a beautiful campground there and the Visitor’s Center is very nice as well. Newspaper Rock is just 30 minutes away and on the way to Canyonland National Park. It’s easy road access, no hiking required. The grocery store in town was fully stocked, no issues getting gas or food. Just south in the town of Blanding is the Edge of the Cedars State Park and Museum which was very interesting and informative. The town of Mexican Hat has an awesome state park called Gooseneck. Further north is the town of Moab and further south is Monument Valley. All within easy day trip accessibility. Overall I would recommend this home to family and friends.

Thank you for staying with us. We have since added a small conventional oven and added more dishes! Was there anything else you felt would be helpful in the kitchen that wasn't there? You're welcome to send me a private message with ideas. We are always striving to know our guests better and find out what kinds of things they find helpful.

Summer Renters Be Advised

This property’s interior décor is beautiful. However, the house is not summer friendly. While this property is advertised as having air conditioning, I would beg to differ. Technically, it only has one standalone portable swamp cooler for the entire house. I would hardly consider it an air conditioner. This home has lots of windows that are single pane and allow the home to heat up and this swamp cooler is not large enough or efficient enough to cool the house during daylight hours of the summer months. The swamp cooler, at best, may lower the temperature 10 degrees less than the outside temperature, and because of this, we could not just stay at the house for a relaxing day. The heat within the house is almost unbearable during the day. To top that off, you must keep the swamp cooler manually filled with water and it takes 50 trips to fill, not exaggerating. The property owner does suggest keeping the windows open, but the yard is not kept up and the overgrown vegetation of the yard attracts insects. Which find their way into the house and end up biting you. This is a very unwelcome nuisance. With all that being said, I would think that this place would be a great place to stay during the winter months.

I believe you stayed during a heat wave which is an unusual level of heat for us up in the mountains. We have lived here for years and rarely need the A/C like people in Moab do. Thank you for the feedback and so sorry to hear the house was not the right temperature for a comfortable stay for you. We have added more A/C units per room for this coming season. *We also have screens on the bedroom windows and keep the yard weedwacked.

Adorable home with great decor, comfortable furnishings, plenty of room for groups to spread out and have privacy, or come together for meals. The stunning views and gorgeous sunsets were an added bonus. The host was incredibly funny and offered a fantastic personalized overview of the property before we arrived. The updated bathrooms and decorative touches just added to the enjoyment of this home. Highly recommend - especially if you have a group. Also - great neighborhood if you wanted to take walks or ride a bike into town.
