About this property

#4 (Gaia) Home in the Heart of Utah- You are part of our community

Nestled in the heart of Torrey, Utah just 5 minutes from spectacular Capitol Reef National Park, with many restaurants and hiking/biking trails right out the front door, this is the place to stay while exploring the mountains and desert nearby. There is excellent internet and cell coverage perfect for working remotely. 
You'll love this spacious apartment! It has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing your favorite meals with views right from the large windows.
There are two spacious bedrooms with queen size beds in each. The bathroom has an illuminated mirror, sink and vanity area and a shower/tub combo. It is fully stocked with everything you might need while away from home.
The living room/dining area has two large, comfy recliners and a large couch to relax and watch the flatscreen TV. The private laundry room is fully stocked and supplied with everything you might need.
When you arrive, you will go up the front stairs to your private entrance on the east side of the building, Door #4. There is a keyless contactless entry system.  We will supply you with the entry code after booking and before your check-in date. The backdoor opens onto a large deck and an expansive view of Velvet Ridge Mesa and steps leading down to a spacious 3/4 acre, fully fenced backyard. There is ample free parking.
I have hosted Airbnb homes on and off since 2016 and I recently bought this space- May 2021. During this new management transition I will be working out all the hiccups and getting to know the property. It is a work in progress and my aim is to make your travels and your stay as relaxing and convenient as possible.
The house has 4 apartments in it. Three of them are connected via sealed entrances that can be opened for large groups. There will be other people sharing the building during your stay, so expect to share walls, parking, porches, and the backyard. I live close by and I am available via messaging/phone all the time and you can contact or message me with any questions or needs. I love meeting new people and hearing about your travels.
Other things to note
THERE IS NO GROCERY STORE IN TORREY. The nearest shopping is in Loa, Utah- 17 miles away. Come prepared with groceries or contact Danielle and arrange to have groceries delivered in advance for a nominal fee

Weather: Torrey is located at 6,800 ft above sea level, so we thankfully don’t get the intense heat that other desert towns experience. Summertime temperatures range from the mid 80's to low 90's during the day and mid 50's to mid 60's at night. Winter high temps are mostly in the mid 30’s to lower 50’s with a few days in the 20’s. Snow doesn't stay long in Torrey but there is plenty of it up on nearby Boulder Mountain.
Thank you for your interest in Home in the Heart of Utah. Do not hesitate to reach out with suggestions and feedback of how your stay could be improved and what you loved about your time with us.

Would stay here agin
Property was neat, tidy and very clean. It appears to have been updated recently. Furnishings are not “trendy”, but rather homely comfortable and suited to the dwelling. Was well equipped for self catering which we appreciated. Also well located for exploring Capitol Reef. Suited us very well and would stay again. Thank you for a great stay!

Great location
Enjoyed our stay at the Heart of Utah. Great space and great host. Had all the essentials in the kitchen and bathroom. Easy driving to the Capitol Reef hikes and especially Sunset point that allowed us to experience great sunsets. Host provided coffee that was local and excellent.

Convenient to Capital Reef
Everything was just as we needed it to be. The place was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We walked across the street to a restaurant for dinner. There is a coffee shop and an creamery right in front of the lodging. It was only a short drive to beautiful Capital Reef National Park.

Spacious apartment near Capitol Reef
The apartment is clean, spacious and as pictured. We appreciated the washer/dryer after two weeks on the road. Coffee was provided - it was excellent. You’re walking distance to food options and we highly recommend the taco truck. Danielle was a friendly and responsive host! The views out back are beautiful- a convenient and great place to stay if visiting Capitol Reef.

About the host

I love meeting new people and sharing stories. I am a horticulturalist and yoga instructor by trade. Through my extensive travels I have learned the importance of a comfortable and secure home base. My aim is to create that for you during your stay at Desert Dwelling Inn. I look forward to sharing Utah's spectacular landscape with you while you enjoy the comforts of home.

I have a system in place for limited interaction, a contactless check in and check out system. I am available via messaging/phone at all times and you can contact me with anything you need anytime.
I have hosted vacation rental homes on and off since 2017 and I recently bought this property in May 2021. I am excited the fun updates and improvements I will bring to this property. This is my life's work in progress and I am excited to share it with you.
