About this property

We present Rivendell: An accessible Gathering Place which is located in Smithfield Canyon (yet close to Logan - 6 miles away). You can see a video at youtube searching Rivendell and Logan at https://youtu.be/Rhq1g1FOf-A. This house was built to impress and support large groups. With an elevator, wide halls and roll in showers, families of all abilities can gather in one of several large areas which makes the home not crowded even with large groups of people. Dinner seating is available for large groups with china and silverware included. The elevator stops on five floors including coming out of a tree and continuing up to an indoor treehouse at the top floor. Fifty foot swimming pool, sauna and hot tub for large groups, large gym with basketball or volleyball and a real stage for a family gathering/performance or a corporate presentation.

The kitchen comes with double Wolf ovens with a griddle and SubZero fridge and freezer. But if that is not enough there are two more full kitchens in the home with two more full fridges, full freezer and two fridge drawers. Four dishwashers in the home help make clean up a snap. The kitchen work area was designed for lots of cooks helping and not getting in each other's way. There is also an oversized outdoor grill next to the outdoor fireplace.

The large home includes almost two acres along a creek and fire pit with chairs for large groups. The grounds around the home give you nature with lawn space to relax outdoors. In the summer lounge by the pool as the pool doors open to let the outdoors inside. The pool is secure from small children with access only with an access code and then a key to open the cover.

There are four washers and four dryers when you need to get a lot of clothes washed.

New Sony Projection system lets you watch one of our hundreds of DVDs on the 170 inch screen.

The main house has 9 bedrooms with sleeping for 62 people scattered through the home. There are also seven bathrooms.

If your group needs more space you can check out VRBO #340210 which is also located on the property. If you rent both houses on the property, then there is a total of ten acres. Take a stroll along the paths and you most likely will encounter deer as you cross the bridge over the creek. This lodge sleeps 10 more people with its own 110 inch projection movie screen and has 80 five star reviews. This lodge is blocked out to reserve it as an option for you to use for an extra $240 a night. Contact the owner if you are interested in both properties.

The Best Family Reunion in 30 Years

It's hard to find a location space for 76 family members from 5 different states to get together, but Rivendell proved the case for doing so. We coordinated a family reunion and pooled together the money to spend a week and had some of the best days of our lives. Rivendell was able to host us as we managed to fit Barbeque, a Full 18 rounds of Golf at the Country Club 10 minutes away, many Pool & Sauna parties, Human sized Hamster Ball Battles in the Gym, and a Board Game Tournament into a week we will all cherish forever. Tom and his team run a tight ship, and his constant communication and able staff helped us have a great week and work through any issues that arose. Our family highly recommends the venue.

Smithfield Canyon Home

This is our second year to spend our Christmas/New Years time as a family together. We have a large family and this home provides my grandchildren with lots of fun stuff to hang out and do. The swimming pool, hot tub, and basketball court is absolutely the best part of this home. We are still getting children out of the pool when it is time to vacate the home, they love it so much!!! Having indoor basketball games or indoor soccer games brings your family together in a very special way. Soaking in the hot tub, watching the grandchildren on the water slide, playing pool tournaments, using the stage for talent shows, all of this is available when your family spends their special time together. The home is very clean, the owner is always available, supplies are always filled and extra available, washer and dryer on all three levels, great area to eat and seat everyone, and plenty of places for family gatherings. My children and grandchildren asked us if we could please come to this home again in one year. When they love spending time with us our hearts are full and this home provides a place for love to abound. Thank you so very much for sharing your home with us!!!

Rivendell, what’s not to love!

This is an absolute must for making family memories to last forever! The owner is amazing and super helpful, if you ever have a question he responds within minutes. The home is beyond beautiful and extremely well-kept, they have thought of everything! There are multiple activities for making fun memories whether you are 1 or 100! The home is extremely family-friendly and there are multiple large gathering areas to accommodate. Pictures cannot do this place justice, it is a must see and do! We were blessed to make so many great Christmas family memories here. As we loaded our grandchildren in the car To leave one of them looked up and said “I want to live here with mama and papa forever!” Thank you for sharing such a special home with us!

Second Family Reunion

This was our second time to enjoy your beautiful home and property. It was a little like going home when the grandchildren came to once again enjoy their time together. They raced to the tree house and to pick out their bedroom. The one they used last time. 😀 The kids enjoyed the trampoline while we sat and enjoyed putting our feet in the creek. Wonderful!! The barbecue pit area was great for our s’mores and songs. The little cottage worked perfectly for our newly married. Early mornings found little ones enjoying their airplane ride. The pool was super fun for all. We had a glow stick party in the gym. It will be a favorite memory. Gathering in the large living room our patriarch shared knowledge of the universe and beauties in the heavens. On our first day there my husband Michael fell in the shower. It was a scare for sure. He broke 5 ribs, two of them in two places. He had a punctured lung and had to have neuro thorax surgery. Was in the hospital for three days. Your home was designed so we could take good care of him. Water fountain and easy access to the sink. Our family cared for him so well. He was on oxygen and was able to take his walks in many places in the home. A couple of things for future renters. The left oven doesn’t heat properly. Takes forever to heat up and doesn’t get as hot as it should. The freezer in the kitchen didn’t freeze properly when it was full. The ice kept melting and then freezing again. We would have felt more comfortable with finding the key to the sliding door to the pool. We made certain our littles obeyed our rules. There was a faint odor of cigarettes smoke in all our clothes. Wondered where that came from. We love your property. Thanks for the beautiful spot to bring our very large family.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Worthen

Our family of six built this home to have a place to play and a place that all our kid's friends would want to come as we wanted to host the party. With our daughter in a wheelchair, we made accommodations to give wheelchair access to every part of the home. If you have elderly or disabled guests then this house is accomadating.

We love to travel but have always found that with the home we built "There is no place like home." We go camping and realize camping by the creek on our land is the best spot there is. We go to a community pool and realize that our indoor heated pool is more ideal. It doesn't get any better than driving 15 min to go skiing and coming home to sit in the sauna.

Why they chose this property

This home was built for our family with the knowledge that "if you build it, they will come." We hosted many family gatherings of 50-70 people and the home passed the test in every way. The layout is such that large groups can gather in one place, or have one of many locations for smaller or more intimate settings. Located in Smithfield Canyon, along Summit Creek, we have ten acres that create our own secluded oasis. But we are still just a mile from main street and only 6 miles from Logan. Surrounded by hundreds of trees, you can take a walk on the paths and down the rock steps to the creek for some quiet solitude.

What makes this property unique

If your group wants more space, then we offer our Canyon Lodge. It is on the property accessed by a bridge, sleeps 10 and comes with a deluxe playground. You can check it out by searching for VRBO 340210. If you would like that property also, then contact us and we will take that reservation separately at a cost of $200 a night. We have blocked every night on that home to make it available if the guests in our main house want to reserve it.

The indoor swimming pool is a place to cool down in the summer and a place to warm up in the winter.
