About this property

Unique Home Perfect for Gathering. Pets welcome!

  • Gather, Play & Relax — Room for Everyone

    Welcome to your ultimate gathering place in Utah Valley — This beautiful storybook barn home is a one-of-a-kind gem full of charm, character, and history. Built in 1981 by custom builder Claire Call, this classic home was thoughtfully designed with curved walls, exposed brick, and timeless craftsmanship that make it truly stand apart from the ordinary.

    If you love unique homes with personality and architectural character, this home is for you. While it is not a brand-new modern build, guests who appreciate warmth, charm, and distinctive spaces often fall in love with its cozy and memorable feel.



    Our 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, pet-friendly home is perfectly located for year-round adventure near Utah’s best hiking, boating, and rafting. After a day exploring, relax in the hot tub, enjoy the game room, or unwind with family and friends in this truly special home.



    A Home Made for Gathering

    The main floor invites you in with a spacious living room centered around a large-screen Smart TV — perfect for family movie nights. The dining area seats 10, while the sunroom adds another 2 tables with seating for 10 more, making shared meals a breeze. Whether it’s breakfast together or a big family dinner, there’s room for everyone at the table.



    The fully stocked kitchen includes every appliance and tool you need, plus extras like a high chair, baby gates, and small appliances to make traveling with family easier. A laundry room and half bath add convenience right where you need it.



    Space for Everyone to Rest

    Main Floor Master: King bed, bunk beds, and a crib tucked into a walk-in closet, with private ensuite bathroom.

    Basement: Queen bedroom + full bathroom, plus a huge family room with 60" TV, foosball, game table, and dedicated workspace with monitor.



    Upstairs Bedrooms:

    Sunflower Room: King bed + 2 twin beds

    Green Room: King bed, full bed, and twin bed

    South Room: King bed and trundle bed



    Turret Room: A whimsical playroom just for kids



    With so many sleeping options, kids, teens, and adults alike can each find their perfect space.



    Endless Fun

    Inside, you’ll find board games, toys, and foosball, plus plenty of cozy spaces for hanging out. Outside, the fun continues: a play set with swings for the kids, a hot tub for soaking under the stars, and a BBQ with outdoor dining space for family meals in the fresh air. Gather around the fire pit at night to share stories and laughter.



    Thoughtful Touches

    This home was designed to make your stay effortless: soft bedding, fluffy towels, stocked bathrooms with shampoo and soap, and plenty of pillows and blankets. Every detail has been considered so you can spend your time enjoying each other, not worrying about the little things.

Great experience

We stayed here with a large youth group for three nights. There was plenty of room, the location is central the most everything in Utah County, and the large backyard was perfect for summer evenings. Communication with the host was excellent and they were always fast to respond and very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again

Great location and Home

We had a small family reunion and this home was great for what we needed. The location was very central, as we had activities up the Canyon, in Provo, and Lehi. Check-in was super easy and the owner was fantastic to work with. Everything that needed attention, was attended to quickly and communication was fantastic and timely. The rooms were super cute and we had beds for everyone! Our littles enjoyed the fun toy room and the backyard. We also loved the Corn Hole provided. It really was a great stay!

The VRBO we used for 1/2 of my family for my family coming in for a wedding. Unfortunately, the thermostat was locked, very hot, and uncomfortable in the home. It was warmer at night than day and shut down the AC unit. As the mother of the bride, my family didn't want to complain to me so had no idea. My sister from Europe said probably the worst she has stayed at comfort-wise. The location is good for guests going to Sundance.

A Convenient Location and Lots of Beds

This house is great if you need beds! It had a bed for 18 individuals. The number of beds per room made it possible to divide the rooms according to families. The configuration of the beds was different than stated online. We were able to make adjustments. Some beds were more comfortable than others. The house is older, so you do hear a lot of noise inside the house during the night. Because the house is older, some bathrooms did not appear clean. There is no tub, only showers. We were in Orem to attend a wedding reception. It did fit everyone comfortably-we had 14 people there. The house was cold and we could not control the thermostat, but the manager was able to respond quickly to our text and turned up the heat. The neighborhood is quiet and seemed to be very family friendly. We had our dog with us. The backyard is fenced and was perfect for him! The kitchen was well stocked. It made for a happy place to stay with family!

We had a very good stay. The kids loved the backyard. The only down side was that the upstairs was too warm and the people staying in the upstairs bedrooms complained they had trouble sleeping. It was a very warm week in Utah which I am sure made it more difficult to keep the home cool.

The Barn

Kitchen was way too small compared to how it was pictured. Screens were missing, so sleeping was too hot. Not a place for those who cannot do stairs. Cleaning was not done well, though the cleaning fee was substantial. We would stay again if things were in working order and it was cleaned.

The place is listed as a perfect place for gathering, but when I mentioned we were having family over for dinner (we had less than 20 people). I could tell there was panic. It worked out fine, but it added stress to my day. The kitchen is a bit small, but workable. We couldn’t find any extra trash bags anywhere. A big disappointment was you can’t control the temperature. It is locked!! We wished we could have brought temperatures down a few degrees is all. Don’t stay if you can’t do stairs. Two sets of narrow in places odd stairs. Kids loved it. Lovely bedrooms and decor. Plenty of beds. Couches comfortable upstairs not so much downstairs.

No privacy

The property was great for the 18 people we had staying. The house was nice. We had a couple issues. The trash was not emptied prior to our stay. We were told we could not use trash bags and were only allowed to use trash compactor located in the kitchen, which was half full when we arrived. If we did not we would be charged an additional landfill fee for our trash. We were also told to use recycling bins for recycling items. Recycling bins were full to the top when we arrived. After contacting owner and asking if it would be okay just to make a trash bag of recycling as we couldn’t fit items in the can. She responded that would be fine. Then later during the small wedding reception dinner we were holding I walked into the kitchen to find someone I didn’t know in the house. Turns out to be the owner checking the status of the trash compactor. She let herself into the home. The next day when we were out and my 16 yr old daughter was at the home alone. The owner again let herself into the house, without any communication to us that this was happening. Scared my child, as she thought someone was breaking in. The house next to this rental is clearly owned by a family member of the owner. The whole time we were at the house they were in the backyard of the house next door in lawn chairs watching us. Clearly there is no expectation of privacy at this property. When we left we ended up having to take all of our trash with us over to a friends house in order to not be charged a landfill fee. It took a lot of convincing for my husband to even stay the 2nd night at the property.

Just what we needed

After reading other reviews I thought twice about looking for something else but decided to keep the reservation. Everything turned out just fine. Location is great, host and communication with the host was great. The rooms in the house were really unique and fun. There was plenty or space for our family group there except the pictures of the kitchen don't exactly show how small that area is. The kitchen was a lot smaller than we expected but everything worked out okay.
