This was a great place to stay for our spring break week vacation to see the Mighty 5! Beautiful view of mountains! Fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs! This was amazing! Several sleeping options so this would be great for big groups! Very scenic driving which was stunning. The house was very clean and loved all of the decor!

Enough rooms we could enjoy the common area, but still have space to sleep. Beds were comfy. The floor is squeaky so, don’t put light sleepers in the basement.

We enjoyed our stay near Capital Reef. Very cute and quaint decor. There don’t seem to be a lot of options in close vicinity to the park so we felt very lucky to find this place.

My sister and I stayed here with our children for a few days. We loved the fire pit and swing, the beautiful views. We found everything we needed for cooking meals for our large family. My brother and his kids stayed nearby but came over often. There was enough room for everyone to play games and relax. Excellent communication from the owner / property manager. Would stay here again!

Everyone in our group loved our stay at the Rustic Cabin. The 20 min. drive to the National Park is a straight shot down HW 24 and very convenient. The decor is loving done (make sure to check out all the cute lamps!) and fits the scenery. Communication with the property owners was prompt and easy, and there were zero bugs during our stay. Such a pleasant stay, highly recommend.

Great place to make base camp. Had really everything that we needed to cook and have fun hanging out before and after riding our motorcycles in beautiful southern Utah. It was clean and quiet and having a set of horseshoes to play was a bonus after a long day of riding.

We had a large group and we all loved our stay! The cabin is large enough for everyone to have free-roaming room, but cozy enough for intimate nightly gatherings rather than everyone going off into their rooms. The property is large and the property owners have but a lot of love and care into the upkeep and design/style of their cabin. 20 min. From Capital Reef. A small 1940s movie theater close by, restaurants, gift shops, etc. Highly recommend.

Very nice. Clean. Well equipped (including knives & nonstick skillets for eggs). Plenty of space. Nice layout. Kids loved the yard and firepit. Highly recommend.

This was a great property for us close to Capital Reef. It is a bit of a rustic property, but that is part of it's charm. It is very nicely decorated. It is a bit older, so not a brand new modern facility. Just depends on what you are looking for. But considering the limited opportunities in this area, this is a great find.

Good:
- Owner of property was responsive and friendly.
- Location is fantastic. It's both secluded yet near a small town and very close to Capitol Reef National Park.
- Property is generally pretty neat.
Bad
- There were, without exaggeration, hundreds of flies (both dead and alive) during out stay inside the property.
- Property address does not show up on Google maps nor Apple maps. Drove around for about 40 minutes trying to find the place; finally kind of recognized the building from the pictures.
- There was a used towel hanging on a door handle from the prior guests.
- Property management company (Evolve) simply didn't respond to a general inquiry on date changes a couple months in advance of stay for well over a month.
Summary: We checked out a day early as the flies were so gross. In particular the master bedroom and master bath would have dozens of dead flies accumulate on the floor and vanity every few hours. We'd have to sweep them up just to put our toothbrush down or walk across the floor. The owner was very kind when we texted about the check-in process and seemed to feel bad about the flies when I let him know...but didn't offer any refund at all. Similar experience with the property management company. When I emailed about the flies and the early checkout they simply said no to a requested refund of a night and coldly referred to the rental agreement as reason for saying no. I want to give this property a higher rating due to some nice potential and great location (I do not relish giving such a poor review), but sadly the experience was just too poor to do so.

The cabin is not sealed well enough and there was a major fly problem. There were even flies in the refrigerator and toilet. Ugh. We did however enjoy our stay in this very rustic cabin. The one bathroom has gross looking rocks around the hot water heater. We did not communicate with property manager.

Our group enjoyed our stay at this rustic cabin. It was clean and comfortable. It was an excellent location for exploring Capitol Reef National Park and other area attractions. The yard outside around the property was a nice place to hang out after a day of exploring (especially for the kids). Grateful to have stayed here.

Wayne County Ranch
We had a wonderful time in such a peaceful location! We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds during the relaxing mornings on the porch and watching the stars on the quiet porch and swing in the evenings. The house was comfortable and perfect for accessing Capitol Reef. We truly enjoyed our stay in the peace and quiet.

Great House Near 25 minutes away from Capital Reef!
This house has tons of room for 10 people. We were only a group of 5 so it was exceptionally comfy. Every bed is super soft and cozy. The house was very clean and definitely has a mountain log cabin feel. We loved the fire pit and also sitting on the back deck. The house does not have a dishwasher, but we had no problem washing the dishes by hand. The Google Maps did not quite know where the property was so it took a bit to figure out where it was, but once we did it was very easy to get in and out of. Great house!

Very quaint cabin.
Great quiet property. plenty of space. However, since it is large property, we found not enough utensils and china.

An absolute gem!
We stayed at this charming property for two nights in the middle of a 10-day vacation through Utah. From the moment we entered the spacious home, everyone in our party of 10 (two families) knew that this portion of the trip would be a highlight. The home has a cool rustic ambience but with every modern convenience, and our teens played horseshoes, played board games, and played the piano. We built a fire in the firepit and used the nearby swing to our hearts' content before making s'mores and marveling at the stars we could see in this part of the world. Its proximity to Capitol Reef was terrific, and our post-park burger binge at Slackers was also memorable. The host was extremely responsive and we were all sad when this portion of our trip came to an end. This property is well-priced, well-represented, and even better than a traveler could ever hope for. Thank you!

Gateway To Capitol Reef
We truly enjoyed our 2 night stay at this rustic, comfortable cabin! Extremely well decorated. Beds were comfortable. The cabin is close to road, but does not feel that way inside. Spacious living area to watch tv, read, and play games. Very conveniently located to Capitol Reef. Overall a wonderful stay.

Family fun in Capital Reef
This cabin was everything you imagine w cabin should be! It had a woodsy feel and was very comfortable. It easily accommodated our party consisting of 4 adults and 5 kids. It was very clean and felt like home. The owner reached out before we came and provided tons of information regarding the Park and other activities to do in the surrounding area. Highly recommend staying here! We will be back!

Great Cabin Near Capitol Reef
This property was such a great find! We traveled with another couple and have 4 kids between us. The location was great for our day trips into Capitol Reef NP. Lots of space for kids to run around outside and plenty of rooms to keep everyone comfortable at night. The owners are very easy to communicate with and have taken great care of this property. We would definitely stay here again! (In fact, the kids are already asking.)

Great house
Had a great time with our family of seven here, this place has lots of beds and different sleeping rooms that could have easily accommodated another couple of families. A lot of energy has been put into this place to decorate it, which made the experience enjoyable. It took us about 20 min to get to Capitol Reef, which is great. The owner was quick to respond and is very thorough in explaining the place to us. We plan on staying here again when we go back.

Perfect Family Cabin!
This cabin is so ideal! A true cabin feel with the perfect blend of antiques/decor in a comfy setting! The cabin layout is perfect for families and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms gave everyone plenty of room! We’d get up and have breakfast together every morning in a well stocked kitchen and TV had excellent cable options for family movie night with the most comfy chairs and couches. The floor boards creek in an absolute perfect cabiny way, super comfy beds and a fun loft the kids loved. There’s not a thing missing in this setup! (We just wish we could’ve heard the player piano play.) Outside the fire pit area with swing was a family favorite and the sunsets at night were not to be missed. There was so much room that extended family members parked two full size trailers towing side by sides and camped as well on the property. The kitchen accommodated all of us for breakfast each day! We can’t wait to go back. Such a great trip and the owners were very communicative and easy to work with! Thanks for an awesome weekend!!

Capital Reef visit from the Lyman house
Rustic charm greeted us. Just enough room for our group of 8. Nice size dining room table for us to all gather around and talk about our day at Capital Reef and enjoy our grilled burgers. Loved the swing out back and watching the hummingbirds.

Cabin was cozy and comfy with a great fire pit area. Very close to capital reef which was great. Owners of the house stayed in contact and provided info about the surrounding area before we even asked.
We would most definitely stay here again!

Great Location - Good Matresses
We loved staying in this cabin outside Lyman. All the country charm and solitude we needed while visiting Capitol Reef. More than enough room for all 10 of us and a good night's sleep on a really good mattress. I would stay here again when visiting the ares.

Great Location
This cabin was perfect for our trip to leaf peep in Fish Lake National Forest, and then to see Capitol Reef NP. It had plenty of room for us (two retired couples), and we didn't need the loft or lower level bedrooms.
The owners were attentive - texting us to make sure that everything was OK, and responding to our texts back.
