High Desert Solitude Torrey, Utah

1 site · RV5 acres · Torrey, UT

Almost 5 acres with vintage small cabin, art studio, old stable and a few vintage travel trailers. Property has what seems like many miles of irrigation waterlines, that we have used to create outdoor sweet spaces. Originally rented cabin on a nightly rental site, but wanted to live in our own home.. as this was truly our one and only home that we rented. Love vintage and all kinds of trailers so created 2 sites in the way back of the property with lots of trees for privacy and it's own driveway and entrance. Located in the quaint gateway town of Torrey, Utah.. with views of the Boulder Mountains. Capitol Reef National Park is just a few miles down the road. Fremont River is just a few blocks away along with so many great hikes you can take within walking or biking from the cabin. Amazing place where it can be raining and the sun shining. We do have two mostly outdoor cats. They were abandoned and migrated to the property. One is a sweet big black kitty and the other is a gray striped kitty. Both have been spade and neutered. We volunteer at our local animal shelter and have to resist bringing them all home. We also seem to be host to a herd of sometimes 16 deer. They consider our property their safe haven. High Desert elevation at 7000 feet where you can have cactus growing next to pine trees.

This is a primitive campsite. But so worth it! stunning views!

The site we had was gorgeous, tucked back in a tree lined area. The restrooms leave much to be desired and it's right beside the dumpsters, but the showers were hot and there were plenty to not have to wait.
