Cute and comfortable

Cute, a little odd getting used to using several separate heaters. No fan in the bath which is nicer with multiple bath users. Good privacy, easy to find and get into. Good amount of space, comfortable couch!

Hiking Trip with Friends

We stayed here with another couple, we enjoyed the location and the simplicity of everything around. We ate breakfast at the Wild Rabbit Cafe in the morning which played into our satisfaction of the location. Anything we needed was within walking distance.

Torrey

We stayed 1 week at #1 Desert Dwelling Inn. It was the first level 2 bedroom. It was very comfortable, spacious and clean. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed as we prepared most of our meals at the apartment. There are several small cafes nearby to walk to if you like. Danielle was very accommodating and even brought us some fresh eggs. Would recommend to anyone to stay.

Spacious modern apartment with yard access.

We loved staying at Desert dwelling. It was roomy with an open floor plan and good facilities for cooking in. Also had a nice yard with goats next store and some friendly chickens in the yard. Capitol Reef NP a gem of a park is a 10 minute drive. Could not have been happier. Also have laundry facilities.

What a lovely stay we had. Danielle is a stellar host, finding that perfect balance of availability without being intrusive. The property is clean, comfortable and well appointed. The grounds are beautiful and the location is ideal for exploring the area. We stayed for a month and are looking forward to our next visit. I have a feeling we will be coming back again and again.

Well-equipped and great help from owner

This apartment was well-equipped with everything we needed for a week-long stay. It was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The owner was especially helpful when a part for one of our cell phones needed to be mailed to us--she went to the post office everyday to see if it had come. Thanks Danielle!

Home away from home

Stayed here a couple of nights on a 3-week trip and it was nice to have a place that felt like home. Room to spread out, laundry, etc. Well-kept, clean, looks newly remodeled. Not much in the way of restaurants in the area, so it’s best to bring your own groceries. Overall a relaxing and comfortable place to stay!

Great place to stay

A truly wonderful place to stay. The property is an oasis from the desert. Very clean, well kept, with a wonderful owner who makes you feel like family. The small town was a great place to be for the holiday with food, small markets, and that small community feel that makes you want to come back.
