About this property

Manti Cottage, Historic Pioneer Home

The historic charm of this pioneer home will surely enhance your Manti experience! Built in 1851 with the same rock as the temple, yet fully updated for comfort. Come stay in one of the State's oldest homes! 1 block from the Temple property (2 blocks from the temple). 1 block from the high school, swimming pool & fairgrounds. Great location! Located near Manti Canyon-a great access to Skyline Drive. Manti is ATV friendly so you can leave directly from the cottage on your ATV.

This is a perfect home for honeymoons or anniversaries. Also for larger groups don't forget to check out the Cottage's sister Property: The Manti Manor-an 1871 rock house located just kiddy corner from the cottage. A perfect combination for youth groups and larger family gatherings that might need two houses yet having perfect proximity to each other. See that calendar on VRBO Under Manti Manor.

This home won the 2015 Utah Heritage Foundation award.

The Manti Cottage is a quaint historical home with lots of charm and personality. We loved our stay. The kitchen was well equipped for fixing meals and the dining/living room area was comfortable to eat and relax in. The stairs are very steep and the last step coming down has a bit of a slope so be careful! Thank you for a wonderful stay we enjoyed learning about the history of this charming home.

Wonderfully historic home with detailed information on many historical items in the home. Stories about the homes builder and owners history were interesting to read. The hosts let us check in a little early to accommodate our schedule. The town of Manti is very friendly. The colors on Skyline drive ( one of the reasons for our trip) were breathtaking. There were a few issues with the functionality of the home, but hey it is a very old home. We had a great time staying at the Manti Cottage.

Temple trip

We stayed at this sweet property with our youth group to see the Temple. It was full of character and charm! Had everything we needed and loved walking right outside the door and seeing the beautiful Manti Temple! We loved the special touches of history for the house as well… gave us a great connection to the past.

Lovely Pioneer Home

We enjoyed this house in Manti, plenty of beds for our group. The house was so close to the temple, the kids loved the goats out back. The house was clean, just the upholstery furniture in the family room could use a good deep cleaning. We appreciated the pioneer feel, well stocked cabinets, and warmth as we stayed on some extremely cold days. I would warn guests that the staircase is narrow and not possible to navigate for elderly.

Cozy Manti Cottage

Our recent stay at the Manti Cottage exceeded all expectations! It offered a clean and cozy atmosphere with convenient access to the nearby Manti Temple. The attention to detail in the cottage's restoration was truly impressive and evident in every aspect of its design. Complete with beautiful antiques and modern comforts, our experience was both charming and rejuvenating. We highly recommend the Manti Cottage for a tranquil getaway filled with charm and relaxation. Thank you for this beautiful experience and making family memories. We will definitely be back!

Wedding Party for Manti Temple

This property was originally built in 1851! Fully restored and upgraded while staying true to its pioneer roots. It is about a two minute walk to the Manti temple.The owners were more than generous with our checkout time and obviously take great pride in this historic home. The home easily fit 10 adults. We highly recommend it!

A very comfortable look into our pioneer heritage.

The cottage was comfortable and clean. And while it had all the modern conveniences such as good A/C, nice bathrooms and showers, and comfy beds... it was also a portal to past with little notes that told about the history of the home and the furniture in it. Really cool! : ) A very nice place to stay that's close to so many fun outdoor adventures.

Historical cottage with the expected creaky old uneven floors, but made comfortable with air conditioning, modern kitchen and bathrooms, and linens, towels, and kitchen items. Check in was easy and the owner communicated quickly through VRBO. There was plenty of space for our family and for extended family members to come gather for dinner and conversation. We appreciated the 2.5 bathrooms. Information on use of the cottage is clearly spelled out in a binder and on small signs. Very convenient to the Manti Temple. Would stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
My wife and I live next door with our 7 children. I manage a local bank and love small town Utah! You will too. We were married in the Manti Temple. I direct the Warriers each year in the Mormon Miracle Pageant ( 120 teenage boys:)

Why they chose this property

I loved the history of this home! Built in 1851 it is the oldest house in Manti and one of the oldest in the state. I was drawn to this little place. Our family lived here for one year as we built our new house on the same property.

What makes this property unique

In this house you have unique proximity to the temple, an authentic stay in an actual pioneer home, yet full comforts you'd expect in a vacation home!
