Sandcreek Cottage / Fabulous Views on Five Acres

A cozy, secluded, gingerbread cottage set on 5 treed acres in Sleeping Rainbow. Four scenic minutes from Torrey -- a sweet, tree-lined village just 11 gorgeous miles from Capitol Reef NP. Every room has a great view, including the bathrooms! Fully equipped kitchen. Dining table seats 8 plus 4 bar stools. Rock BBQ. Sleeps six: two queen, pillow-top, memory-foam beds, and a set of bunk beds. Large-screen TV in the living room. Wifi and internet/smart TV If you're a city dweller, escape the noise, heat and dirty air and enjoy pure spring water, sweet desert air and temperatures that are 10-20 degrees cooler than the city. At 7000 feet elevation, nights are blissfully cool. The house is luxuriously secluded and the quiet can be deafening. Oh, and the stars are amazing -- don't forget to look up at the Milky Way! Torrey is one of few cities in the U.S. that has dark-sky designation. Early evening is magical with changing sunlight on the bluffs. Majestic views of mountains (including the Henry Mountains), red rock cliffs and more peace and quiet than you'll know what to do with. Just two miles from the junction of Scenic Byway 12 -- the road to Boulder, Grand Staircase Escalante, Zion and Bryce. The entire five acres will be yours during your stay. The house is equipped in almost every possible way. If there's something missing, give us a call and we'll have it there for you in minutes. My mother (Dianna) lives nearby (7 minutes away) to help with anything you might need. Please don't hesitate to call. We'd love to meet you if you're up to it but want to give you as much privacy as you'd like. It's a pleasure to meet folks from around the country and the world. The neighborhood is very quiet and really dark at night. We're a National Dark Sky location and it's appreciated when you turn off porch lights at night. The road to the house (County Road to Sleeping Rainbow Drive) is rather narrow and twisting so watch out for blind hills and turns. There is no public transportation. Heck, we don't even have a traffic light. Please be respectful of our neighbors by driving slowly on gravel roads. If you see a dust cloud behind your vehicle, you're probably driving too fast.
