Our family of 4 stayed at Brant's property for a week in late June. We had an incredible time! The location was just right- Close to everything, but far enough away that we really felt like we had our own private slice of Utah. Communication with the host when we needed it was always prompt and friendly. I was impressed by how thoughtfully laid out the rental was. It was our first stay in an "off the Grid" cabin, but everything was so nicely laid out and clearly explained we didn't run into any troubles.
The ATV was a huge hit with my young boys. So much room to roam and explore on the property. We visited national parks, added camping, fishing, and did horse and raft rides, but after returning home, when I asked my 6 year old what his favorite part of the trip was, he immediately replied "The ATV!!!" Great memories for both Dad and his sons.
Some of the smaller touches were surprisingly nice as well. The front porch of the cabin was a focal point. Who'd have thought of such a thing? But sure enough, the whole family enjoyed chilling out there, enjoying the view, watching the birds and animals play, BBQ'ing, reading, doing art and craft projects... It was another unexpected highlight.
As for tips or suggestions... we did notice that the cabin got quite stuffy in the evenings. We had to make a point of opening all the windows at dusk and run all the fans, and even then we were barely able to stay ahead of it. Also, the fridge works, but barely. It doesn't get cold cold, it just gets cool enough to keep things barely OK. I brought our cooler in and added ice from the freezer to keep the beverages frosty cold. Finally, we weren't able to get the oven to work. It would start up, at least on broil mode, but die after a few minutes. We gave up on it and got creative with skillet cooking on the range top. This issue may be resolved by the host for future renters, so take that last one with a grain of salt.
All in all, the quibbles were minor, and we had an epic good time with our stay. It was nice to be able to jump in to the crazy crowds and see the sights, but then be able to retreat to our quiet, beautiful cabin! I wouldn't hesitate to book another stay or recommend this spot to friends!
