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.

It was wonderful! Perfect old cottage—authentic for sure. It was a little dusty and drafty, but it’s super old, which gives it its fun charm! Has tons of beds, cool cave-like shower, and a really nice kitchen :-).

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.

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.

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.

Such a charming, wonderful stay!!!

This little cottage in Manti was such a fun, charming, comfortable stay! We had so much fun learning all about everything that was historically restored in the house. The hosts were so great, kind, and so welcoming. The house was clean and we loved seeing the animals they have on their homestead! We would definitely come back if we make our way back to Manti, couldn’t recommend more!

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!
