Capitol Reef Lodge for 15, 5 En-Suite Baths

A wooden lodge for groups of up to 15, below red sandstone cliffs and about 9 miles from the Capitol Reef National Park boundary. The whole building is yours.



The setting

The Lodge sits on 15 acres at 7,000 feet on the southwest edge of Teasdale, where the town ends and the red sandstone begins. Cliffs rise behind it, and the wraparound covered deck looks out over the Fremont River valley. The nearest neighbor is more than 700 feet away, and there is nothing behind the Lodge but pinyon pine, juniper and rock. Fishlake National Forest begins about a quarter mile to the west, and Highway 24 is a mile and a half north.



Stargazing

Capitol Reef is a certified Gold-tier International Dark Sky Park, and Torrey, 4 miles away, is a certified Dark Sky Community. The Lodge sits at the dark edge of a very small town, with open land and cliffs to the south and west. On a clear, moonless night the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye from the deck, with no telescope needed. Summer and early fall show the bright core of the Milky Way. Winter brings Orion, the Pleiades and the Andromeda Galaxy, and the longest, clearest nights of the year. For the darkest sky, plan your stay around the new moon.



Bedrooms

Every bedroom has a king bed, its own en-suite bathroom, its own keypad lock and a bench or luggage rack for bags. Linens, towels, shampoo, body soap and a hair dryer are provided.

Room 1, main floor: one king. The step-free room, with a wide doorway and a roll-in shower with grab bars.

Room 2, upstairs: one king, bathroom with tub and shower.

Room 3, upstairs: two kings, bathroom with tub and shower. Sleeps four.

Room 4, upstairs: one king, bathroom with tub and shower.

Room 5, upstairs: one king, bathroom with tub and shower, and a crib.

Three sofa beds in the living room sleep one guest each, which brings the Lodge to 15. A travel crib and a high chair are in the house.



Shared spaces

Living room with leather sofas, reading chairs by the windows and doors onto the deck.

Dining room with windows on three sides, a large round table with a lazy Susan, and doors to the deck.

Wraparound covered deck with seating, a propane grill and views over the valley.



Central heating, air conditioning and Starlink Wi-Fi throughout. T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon all have signal on the property. Capitol Reef is open all year, and winter is its quietest season.



Good to know: the Lodge also has a private owners' suite on the main level and a staff storage and laundry room in the basement. Each has its own outside entrance and is locked off from the guest areas. The owners or our cleaning crew may stay in the suite or use the laundry room during your visit.
