My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Elk Valley Ranch! It was quite magical, to say the least. Enjoying the inside and the outside of the barn were our pleasure! My only complaint was the lack of cooking utensils. Otherwise, we cannot wait to go back!

Original, quite and charming stay while doing a road trip across Utah and Arizona. Recommended

The host was very responsive and helpful. Only advice is making sure you get better directions when traveling to the property since it’s off the beaten path. Thanks for a great stay!

The property was even better then described and as indicated in the pictures! WOW is all I can say! The property owners were extremely prompt on all communications and answered my many questions! You cannot go wrong staying here, it was everything we’d hoped and more! We had kids of all ages and they loved it as much or more then the adults!

The most peaceful place I have ever stayed!! Not a sound to be heard except birds and the breeze! The barn is stunning and roomy!!! The bathrooms are amazing! The ranch is stunning and the cliffs in the backyard offer you endless exploring! Pickle ball in the evening with the family was always a perfect ending! The only regret is that we didn’t stay longer to just be on the ranch! We will be back!! Thanks Sandy & Terry!

Our family has enjoyed this wonderful accommodation for 6 separate vacation visits. It has always been a look-forward-to priority for each of these years. We have always found it to be extremely clean and comfortable. Our family has shared our experiences and impressions with many people and recommended their consideration for their own visit.

This opportunity is a rare chance to be guests on a breathtaking ranch. Everything was in place for a fantastic few days at Capitol Reef. The two master bedrooms are up an enchanting spiral staircase. My sons loved sleeping in the hidden lofts. The owner was very gracious. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We were small but plenty of space and a lovely setting. A little out of town but had what we needed. Stars were amazing and it was quiet and close to Capitol Reef.

What a neat setting! The converted barn has views of cultivated fields, Boulder Mountain and some of the surrounding red rock country. The hosts were really helpful and there was space for everyone.

Our young adult kids, who went on vacation with us for the first time in three years, did not know much about the property we booked for part of the trip. When we arrived, they were instantly impressed and excited about this property. We loved our few days in the barn, along with night-time fire pit sessions and star gazing, and pickleball games. We also spent time at Capitol Reef National Park which is only a few minutes away. We would definitely come back to this place!

This property is located in an amazing spot. It's right between Capitol Reef NP and the Boulder Mountains. You're only about 10 minutes from Torrey and 25 minutes (or so) from Boulder, UT. The drive to get there is beautiful. The property is also nestled right next to pasture land where there are horses grazing. It's a comfortable spot. Overall, we loved the barn. We played billiards a lot. We watched the Olympics. We read books. We made breakfast and dinner for ourselves. Most of the beds are in the attic. (Climbing the spiral staircase was cool.) It was hot in the attic for most of the night but we slept pretty well in spite of that. There are also two very strange spaces for sleeping. They are two cubbies next on either side of the attic. One is accessed through a Harry Potter closet through the bath room! They are strange spaces that we're glad we didn't have to sleep in. The kids would have thought it was adventurous but we wondered about spiders, etc. The property is situated in a tiny community of other properties but this didn't really bother us. The road is only a single lane so it was tricky a few times as we were coming and going. There's a pickleball court but it wasn't clear to us that we could use it. Things were a little dirty. The dishes in the drawers weren't clean. The stove was covered in grease. The dishes that were clean were covered in hard water stains. I recommend investing in someone to help clean after each customer visit (rather than trusting each visitor to clean). The directions we got to the property were terrible. They went something like this: "drive down a dirt road, pass a tan cabin on your right, take a right at the theater, by now you'll wonder where the heck you are..." We were driving at night and it was near impossible for us to tell that the drab barn on our right was a theater. Each of the roads has a name. Would have been much easier if the directions simply told us which road to turn on. We had a few other minor complaints (strange spots for light switches, etc) but overall, we really enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful spot, unique property that will be great for your group of 6 or so.

This property is completly amazing! The barn is decorated perfectly.

This is a beautifully renovated former barn on a large ranch. High-end furnishings, looks professionally decorated, but I think Sandy just has lovely taste. Perfect for large families with 2 bedrooms plus 2 huge lofts with beds and another bed just off living room, 2.5 baths with 3 showers, and two dining tables, as well as picnic tables on the patio. My kids loved seeing the horses and their foals, and we enjoyed star gazing and cooking s’mores over the fire pit. Close to Capitol Reef National Park and right off Hwy 12, voted most scenic drive in America. Very restful stay in the middle of our tour of the Mighty 5 national parks. Sandy’s son was in the house next door and was very attentive to anything we needed. Would absolutely stay there again.

From the gorgeous night skies, watching the elk in the pasture and the eagle nest high on the cliff behind the house, this was simply a perfect, relaxing vacation home. A unique, yet beautifully decorated home, conveniently located close to Capitol Reef and a 45 minute drive to hiking in Boulder. Thank you so much Sandy for hosting us.

We have been to the Barn five times now. It is always so much fun for all of us. It is big enough to accommodate everyone with plenty of space to just chill if you aren't outside in the beauty of the surrounding area. It is nicely appointed with everything you need except your own food. Sandy, the owner is always available and ready to help but never intrusive. We all look forward to next year.

What a beautiful location, and accomodations. Had a great time with the family. It was great to chat with Sandy and Tim about their families' history in the area, and the perfect place for us to relax and explore the scenery. We'd love to come back again.

The overall stay was very pleasant experience. Cabin location was very scenic and accurate with all the details mentioned in the site. Sandy ( Cabin owner ) is very prompt on queries sent to him. Would love to stay again....

Directions to this property were excellent even though it is a bit off the beaten track, which is what we wanted. The views were absolutely pastoral, Sandy was very attentive, and we would enjoy returning.

We loved our stay at this beautiful property. We hiked, played pickleball and enjoyed the local restaurants. We would highly recommend this cozy cabin/barn for your next family adventure! .
