About this property

A Grandview over Capitol Reef National Park

Spend the day exploring the deep canyons of Capital Reef National Park then watch the sunset relaxing on the deck overlooking the domes and cliffs of the park. Perched on a small tongue of land above Sand Creek enjoy the limitless views. The center of town is within walking distance. The outdoor fire pit is an ideal place to gather and tell tales of the adventures of the day as well as stargaze. Three full bedrooms comfortably sleeps 8 people but the cost of the rental changes as you add more people.

Wonderful property in great location

Family trip for us with plenty of room for teenagers. Beautiful property in location sitting high up with view of creek. Big glass windows and porches to see the amazing sunsets and sunrises. Soft sheets and high quality shampoos/body wash. Very clean.

Great place to stay near Capitol Reef!

Very nice home in a great location. Torrey is a neat little town with lots of good local food options. Property does not have AC but the breeze is constant enough that it really didn't matter.

Gorgeous and Private

Sunrise to sunset this place has the views and the space to enjoy. Used this as a base of operations for exploring Capitol Reef NP and surrounding areas (don't miss the caves at Goblin Valley State Park!) The house was super comfortable with a great kitchen. Located very near to town yet super private. Highly recommended and we are certainly hoping to return for more exploration!

The home itself was very unique! It was not super fancy but rather homey and very comfortable. It does not have the vibe of a "rental" but rather someone's treasured home. It was very clean and well cared for. I had injured my knee the day before and was on crutches a few days, so having the access to the garage and a straight shot into the house without stairs was perfect! It was stocked with everything you would need (even ice packs for my knee)! The location was outstanding, very convenient to Capitol Reef, private, and close enough to town for any needed resources. Yet it was so peaceful with spectacular views all around! When the sun hit those mountains in the right way, they turned bright orange! The stars at night were SPECTACULAR! We absolutely loved our stay there. Even the ride back and forth to the park was stunning! The only advice I would give is add to your directions to the house a description of the big painted rock at the end of the driveway as the start up the driveway. Thanks for sharing this special place!

A Place Of Respite

This home is designed for relaxation- not incredibly fancy but with lots of attributes that allow one to relax, sink into the surroundings and rejuvenate. Very well appointed for gathering, cooking and enjoying each other's company. Highly recommend and, if life allows, will come back myself.

A little slice of heaven

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the property. So much so that we did not want to leave to visit the park. The views are incredible. The house was the most well provisioned VRBO we have ever stayed at. The beds were comfortable & we loved having access to the garage door opener. Can’t wait to make it back one day!

Amazing location!

My family and I stayed in this "cabin" in early June 2024. My kids (10 and 13), and my wife and I, loved every minute of it. After the hubbub of people in both Moab and Zion it was amazing to be able to sit back and enjoy the sound of the wind whistling through the pines while enjoying a beautiful view all around you. The cabin was well stocked to the point you felt like you were staying at a friend's place. My kids are already asking when we will go back.

Very unique and special

We thoroughly enjoyed the cliff top location and the unique setting of this home. A true get-away place. Loved rustic the yard décor and were comfortable in the home. Had everything we needed. I have to admit we did miss the tv to watch our Red Sox play, but listening to the howling wind and rain was entertainment enough. Great location and views. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

What a treat !

Aptly titled : Grandview". Fabulous views in every direction- including watching the sunrise from the decks in the morning. We were with friends from out of state who were visiting Utah's national parks for the first time and this lovely and peaceful setting and house could not have been better ! The house is welcoming and well equipped. We enjoyed using the kitchen and outdoor grill. Jill checked in with us via email upon our arrival to make sure everything was fine.. which it was!! We only wished we could have stayed longer. We all hope to return again.

True cabin getaway

I can’t thank the hosts enough for quick helpful communication. Above all, this place is a gem if you want a comfortable but rustic cabin getaway. Wood burning stove, board games, painting set, fully stocked kitchen. Great books on the shelf. Quick access to lower elevation (warmer) hikes when it was cool on the plateau. Stars and moon rise were outstanding. Thank you for sharing your retreat!

Beautiful views, very nice home

A very unique and comfortable home, with an unusually well stocked kitchen for cooking in. The sunrises were gorgeous (October), lots of birds and a few small lizards to keep you company when you roam the extensive property. We also enjoyed the upstairs library for evening reading, many interesting books to choose from. Very good location for area sightseeing and hiking in and near Capitol Reef NP. One slight caution, if you have a low ground clearance car, go very slowly up and down the gravel driveway.

Beautiful Views!

Our stay at GrandView was solid. The cabin/house had everything we needed. The hosts provided everything needed in the kitchen, the beds/bedding were good quality and the porch views were beyond. The ease of access to Capitol Reef was great - and the lil town of Torrey had a great little general store and ice cream shop that was top notch.

Beautiful view

This house had the most awesome 360 degree view of the surroundings that I have ever seen. There were a few things like no AC or dishwasher that we noticed less because the view was so spectacular. There was a large fan that kept the front part of the house well-ventilated, and a passing storm during one night cooled us all tremendously. We enjoyed the house very much.

What makes this property unique

Grandview of Capitol Reef National Park, the Henry Mountains and Boulder Mountain. Also, nestled up close to the Sleeping Rainbow Red Cliffs under the Torrey Knoll. Because the cabin is up on a butte the peaceful feeling of being away from it all is certainly a reason why we bought this beautiful home away from home.
