We loved our stay at the cottage, and will look at rebooking in the future. The house is just as described in the listing; it shows its age in some ways (the bath needs updating, which they know), and is new and refreshed in others (the kitchen and living space are well appointed and comfortable). We especially loved knowing the history of the buildings, and look forward to seeing what the owners do with the property over time. The owner was extremely responsive to any messages we sent, and I believe was sincere in hoping our family (two adults, two tweens) had a great stay -- and we did!

Great location, very close to Capitol Reef. Torrey has restaurants, gas station, etc. If the skies are clear at night, it's perfect for star gazing. Communication with owner is the best we've had for a rental.

Comfortable, bright, quiet, and spacious, well stocked and supplied. We loved that things are labled! Great base for exploring Capitol Reef NP, Grand Staircase Escalante, and Goblin State Park areas. Beautiful views from property and spectacular starry night sky. A great place to stay while exploring this incredibly beautiful corner of Utah!

A chef's kitchen - particularly well designed and fully equipped. Colorful designer living room. Very spacious dining table with large picture windows. Bathrooms small but adequate. Mia provided good directions and instructions, and responded quickly to our questions. There were 360 degree scenic views of cliffs and mountains, and nights were quiet and dark for sleeping.

Mia’s cottage was perfect for us for 5 nights home we explored the Capital Reef area. Having come from Moab, this was the best quiet place for the 2nd half of our Utah adventure. After hiking all day, the cottage was perfect. The kitchen was one of the best stocked kitchens we’ve ever stayed in, and we travel A LOT. She’s labeled everything in the house so that you’re not wondering which switch works which light. Many blankets, comfortable bed, clean, stocked, and amazing location just outside Capital Reef in the western little town of Torrey was a big hit for us. Theres a little market close to the house that has everything you may need in a pinch. (We did our big food shopping at Walmart in Price on the way to Moab.) We saw mule deer in the yard morning. We went south to Escalante to hike and the drive over Boulder Mtn was amazing and easy to get to from her cottage. Would def stay again.

Sand creek cottage is sites such that every window and door opens onto a spectacular high desert red rock & mountain vie. Our stay included an unforecast, overnight snow, which made us appreciate the comfortable living area and wood stove even more. The cottage is a great home base for adventures in the surrounding Capitol Reef/grand Staircase- Escalante area and resting afterwards. Mia, the host, responded quickly to all messages and made our stay seamless.

Difficult to list all the superlatives: beautiful views, home-like experience, very well stocked kitchen with even sharp knives, lots of games, books, puzzles; great wood burning stove with lots of seasoned logs and kindling, even had yoga mats. Mia was most responsive, typically within minutes. Can’t say enough positives. Close enough to Capitol Reef NP. I forgot a toothbrush and of course the cottage had 2 new ones. I

Had a fabulous stay at this cozy cottage. Very close to capital reef NP. Loved the kitchen and wood burning stove (wood was supplied which was great). If you stay here during off season, be sure to bring food and drink with you as most places close in Nov. Mia, our host, was very attentive and helpful!

I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties and this was one of the best. A true 5 star in every possible category: the place itself, privacy, location, views, access to restaurants and outdoor activities, host communications, and household supplies. HIGHLY recommended. Next time we come back, we’ll definitely stay here.

What a lovely surprise, the fact that it’s a little out there makes this place all the more charming and relaxing! I could watch sunrises each morning from my bed and my dad could enjoy the beautiful Mountain View’s from his bed. The house was stocked with everything you would ever need and then some, even sharp knives! The host was super helpful and recommended some great places to eat I. Town.

We stayed here for five nights and have nothing but fond memories. It's on the outskirts of Torrey, which is a lovely little town. The property itself has two bedrooms and a very comfortable open-plan downstairs. The kitchen was among the best equipped we have found on numerous VRBO rentals. Everything worked and the Owner was very prompt is passing on any information. Highly recommended.

We had a great getaway. The best stargazing we’ve ever experienced and so close to many fabulous hikes and site seeing. Sad we didn’t have enough time to explore the land around the house, but we had too many things to pack into such a short time! We would love to come back and see more in the future, and will definitely rebook this home again.

A restful oasis at the end of a dead-end dessert road. There are neighbors nearby, by the vibe is very low-key. Proximity to Captial Reef and Boulder Mountain made for easy exploring days and a place of cool rest in the afternoon on 100+ degree days.

Mia’s property is a perfect location to explore and hike in Capitol National Park. The house has one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever experienced in a vacation rental. This was a helpful because we enjoy cooking no matter where we are. The beds are very comfortable, the house has good wi-fi, access to many streaming platforms, nice book selection, and great views. We would definitely stay in this house in the future.

Loved staying in this cottage! Has lots of western weatherbeaten character on the outside and updated luxury design and thoughtful touches on the inside - a perfect combination. Views out of every window plus wildlife like jackrabbits, deer and lizards to see. Don’t hesitate to stay here. Owners are thoughtful and communicative.

My family absolutely loved staying at the cottage during our family vacation to Capitol Reef! The house was very clean, very well stocked, and totally charming. The area is beautiful and peaceful. We had plenty of room for the 6 of us and it was nice to relax comfortably during our down time. Mia was attentive and checked on us when the weather took a cold turn. We use a lot of vacation rentals and this has been one of the best experiences we've had. We'd love to stay there again some day!

We wanted great views, isolation, and a well stocked kitchen, and this cottage/home delivered on all counts. In fact, the kitchen was better outfitted than our own, We had a restaurant reservation for one of the nights but canceled since it was such fun to cook and eat while enjoying the views.

What a gem!

Such a well-stocked, comfy home! Very welcoming feel to the house and great views out the windows. We loved the proximity to Capitol Reef and Escalante for our daily drives and hikes. Great kitchen where you aren't disconnected from the rest of the house, and you can enjoy looking out at the awesome views of the cliffs without close neighbors. Really nice place and we will be back for sure.

Enjoyed the stay. Only a couple of suggestions.

*Need screens on many doors and windows. *There needs to be blinds on the downstairs bathroom window. Not a fan of using the bathroom in plain sight of people walking in and out of house. 😊 *There is a mouse that kept running from fireplace to laundry closet. Not surprised for a country home but you might want to set some traps. *Many cobwebs need to be cleaned up. *Could use more lighting in kitchen.

Cute Cottage in Torrey

Cute Cottage in Torrey

My family really enjoyed our stay in this cute cottage in Torrey. The kitchen had everything we needed from dishes, pots, baggies, bakeware and more. We appreciated having access to a cooler to take to the park which was only about a 15 minute drive from the cottage. The cottage has lots of cozy blankets and a wood burning stove which heats the entire house quickly. The big table in the kitchen was perfect for playing games and the couches are roomy and comfortable. We loved the small town of Torrey and the little grocery store there had everything we needed including fresh fruit and vegetables so we never had to go further for groceries. The outdoor space is peaceful both day and night and we were excited to see jack rabbits and deer nearby. We will definitely rent this cottage again. Mia is a great host and responds quickly to any questions and she has made the cottage feel like home even if it's only for a few nights.

This cottage is so sweet and cozy, and very modern inside! The owners had everything we needed and checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable. It’s just a few minutes to Torrey (for some local restaurants with great food!) and about 15-20 minutes to the Capitol Reef visitors center. Could not recommend this place more.
