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.

We absolutly loved our stay and Rabecca was a lovely hostesses. They have done a fantastic job of Preserving the original feel and decore of this pioneer home.
The Manti Cottage is a comfy place to stay. Much better than any hotel stay. The history of the place and town is such a wonderful added bonus for this history buff. We can't wait for our next stay!
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.
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.
We have stayed at this home before. We came back to visit Manti and just love the historic nature and feel of this home. The property was clean and the owner was easy to work with. Thanks!

Beautifully restored 1851 home offers unique experience. Meet the owners who shared more of the history and extended our checkout time so we could enjoy a relaxing weekend with a sister I rarely get time with. We will be coming again.
Great place to stay near Temple, great history of the home provided, very vintage. Everything we needed was provided. Would stay there again. There was plenty of beds. Cards to play, movies to watch, popcorn provided. Win-win‼️
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!
The property was clean and very cool. But to tell you this is a real pioneer experience is an understatement. The floors flex beneath your weight and slope, and are quite dangerous if you may roll an ankle; you can literally see through to the ground level in areas. The beds may also come from the 1800s, you will feel every spring and hear every movement across the house. Just getting luggage up the steep and narrow staircase is an adventure. The hot water is minimal. When it says it sleeps 12 know that is in 3 bedrooms. Promises made by the property owner were not kept. While the owners are very kind and friendly had I understood what this home really was I may have paid to tour it but certainly not to sleep there. I literally laid awake most of the night wondering if the floors would support us. It was honestly scary
This was a great place to stay! The owners were very responsive in communicating with us, and the house! Wow! What a history. The family restored it to its 1851 glory. It’s beautiful. We loved it. And they added many, many touches that added to the historic atmosphere. We loved the binder/book that showed the renovation process. And, the house was very comfortable and ‘modern day’ functional. The bed was very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again if our travels take us in the Manti direction. I
The restored home from 1841 couldn't be more comfortable. It was clean, well cared for and full of tidbits of historical items complete with descriptions. It was warm, clean and the owners were more than accomdating. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

About the host
Hosted by Owner/Property Manager: Nate Christensen
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!
