The property was comfortable and peaceful. There were so many birds on the property The beds were comfortable too. The night skies were lovely. The owner was very responsive to our request for a coffee pot instead of a Keurig

Peaceful Getaway!!
My wife, son, and I spent the weekend in this awesome cabin!We could see the stars from the master bedroom. We had three hawks taking turns landing in the trees surrounding the cabin which were fun to watch.Recommend this very spacious cabin to anyone wanting a great place to stay in a peaceful valley surrounded by mountains!!
The cabin was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for our group of three couples. It was stalked with all the basics you would expect and the store 3 miles away has anything that you would need for the weekend. I would recommend this Cabin to friends visiting the area.
Very comfortable stay, cabin is beautifully decorated. Owners/ managers always quick to reply to any requests. We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. Would definitely return again!
It was perfect for us as seniors! The quiet country setting away from tourist crowds was so relaxing.
A perfect home away from home.

Quaint Cabin near Capital Reef
We enjoyed our stay near Capital Reef. Very cute and quaint decor. There don’t seem to be a lot of options in close vicinity to the park so we felt very lucky to find this place.
We gathered to ride motorcycles through the canyons for the weekend and it was the perfect location. The cabin had plenty of space and was very comfortable, definitely recommend
We loved staying in this cabin outside Lyman. All the country charm and solitude we needed while visiting Capitol Reef. More than enough room for all 10 of us and a good night's sleep on a really good mattress. I would stay here again when visiting the ares.
Enough rooms we could enjoy the common area, but still have space to sleep. Beds were comfy. The floor is squeaky so, don’t put light sleepers in the basement.
The Cabin is right on Rt. 24, but it can be easy to overlook the driveway when approaching. There can be some traffic noise, but it did not disturb me at all (if you are very noise sensitive it could be an issue). The rooms were clean and had ample space. All the amenities were in good working order.

Capital Stay at Capital Reef
Everyone in our group loved our stay at the Rustic Cabin. The 20 min. drive to the National Park is a straight shot down HW 24 and very convenient. The decor is loving done (make sure to check out all the cute lamps!) and fits the scenery. Communication with the property owners was prompt and easy, and there were zero bugs during our stay. Such a pleasant stay, highly recommend.
This was a great place to stay for our spring break week vacation to see the Mighty 5! Beautiful view of mountains! Fully stocked kitchen for all of your cooking needs! This was amazing! Several sleeping options so this would be great for big groups! Very scenic driving which was stunning. The house was very clean and loved all of the decor!
Rustic charm greeted us. Just enough room for our group of 8. Nice size dining room table for us to all gather around and talk about our day at Capital Reef and enjoy our grilled burgers. Loved the swing out back and watching the hummingbirds.
Great place to make base camp. Had really everything that we needed to cook and have fun hanging out before and after riding our motorcycles in beautiful southern Utah. It was clean and quiet and having a set of horseshoes to play was a bonus after a long day of riding.

Perfect for our mini family reunion
My sister and I stayed here with our children for a few days. We loved the fire pit and swing, the beautiful views. We found everything we needed for cooking meals for our large family. My brother and his kids stayed nearby but came over often. There was enough room for everyone to play games and relax. Excellent communication from the owner / property manager. Would stay here again!
Very nice. Clean. Well equipped (including knives & nonstick skillets for eggs). Plenty of space. Nice layout. Kids loved the yard and firepit. Highly recommend.
This was a great property for us close to Capital Reef. It is a bit of a rustic property, but that is part of it's charm. It is very nicely decorated. It is a bit older, so not a brand new modern facility. Just depends on what you are looking for. But considering the limited opportunities in this area, this is a great find.
We had a large group and we all loved our stay! The cabin is large enough for everyone to have free-roaming room, but cozy enough for intimate nightly gatherings rather than everyone going off into their rooms. The property is large and the property owners have but a lot of love and care into the upkeep and design/style of their cabin. 20 min. From Capital Reef. A small 1940s movie theater close by, restaurants, gift shops, etc. Highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
The place is beautifully decorated, inside and out. Very unique experience that gives the feel of living in the old west, with all the modern amenities you’d want. Cabin is spacious with its main level with a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom/shower and a master with another bathroom/shower. Upper loft has two beds, and basement has two bedrooms and another bathroom. Owners are kind and responsive, wanting to make sure your stay is as comfortable as you’d imagine. Then there’s the dark sky. You can see the Milky Way from the porch without aid and you are surrounded by fields with the next closest building being a mile in any direction. The kids (12 & 8) thought it was the best place they’ve ever been. Plenty of memories, and easy access to Capitol Reef!

Response from Rustic Cabin 20 Mins to Capitol Reef Nat'l Park! on 18 Aug 2025
Thanks for your comments Michael, glad you enjoyed your stay!
The location was great for a base. The place has everything you could want/need. Bed was super comfortable and everything was wonderful. Just a suggestion, have an extra blanket or 2 in the living room(s) to snuggle into the comfy furniture.
The ceiling fan in the master bedroom needs to be fixed. We couldnt use it and sleep. It may be out of balance, it kept thumping once it got up to speed. Lastly and this wasnt something that freaked us out, but.... There were a lot of living and dead flies every day in the house. Mostly in the master bathroom. This was not an issue for our stay, but thought you should know.

Some good...mostly bad though
Good:
- Owner of property was responsive and friendly.
- Location is fantastic. It's both secluded yet near a small town and very close to Capitol Reef National Park.
- Property is generally pretty neat.
Bad
- There were, without exaggeration, hundreds of flies (both dead and alive) during out stay inside the property.
- Property address does not show up on Google maps nor Apple maps. Drove around for about 40 minutes trying to find the place; finally kind of recognized the building from the pictures.
- There was a used towel hanging on a door handle from the prior guests.
- Property management company (Evolve) simply didn't respond to a general inquiry on date changes a couple months in advance of stay for well over a month.
Summary: We checked out a day early as the flies were so gross. In particular the master bedroom and master bath would have dozens of dead flies accumulate on the floor and vanity every few hours. We'd have to sweep them up just to put our toothbrush down or walk across the floor. The owner was very kind when we texted about the check-in process and seemed to feel bad about the flies when I let him know...but didn't offer any refund at all. Similar experience with the property management company. When I emailed about the flies and the early checkout they simply said no to a requested refund of a night and coldly referred to the rental agreement as reason for saying no. I want to give this property a higher rating due to some nice potential and great location (I do not relish giving such a poor review), but sadly the experience was just too poor to do so.
