#3 (Sun) Home in the Heart of Utah- You are part of our community

 Recover in a spacious and comfortable apartment close to Capitol Reef, beautiful views in every direction. Ample free parking with excellent WIF and cell service. Two large bedrooms each with attached full bath. Our dwellings can be connected to provide the perfect set up for large groups and reunions.
You'll love this huge, spacious apartment! It has everything needed for a comfortable stay for larger groups. The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing your favorite meals with views out the large windows.
There are two primary bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms.
The living room and dining area are big and bright with large, south-facing picture windows. The cozy couches are great to relax and enjoy the quiets sounds of the country, or watch the flatscreen TV.
The bathroom and laundry room are fully stocked and supplied with everything you might need while away from home.
The backdoor opens onto a large deck and an expansive view of Velvet Ridge Mesa and steps leading down to a spacious 3/4 acre, fully fenced backyard.

When you arrive, go up the front stairs to your private entrance on the west side of the building, Door #3. There is a keyless entry system to enter your code and let yourself in. We will supply you with the entry code after booking and before your check-in date. There is ample free parking.
Guest interaction
I have hosted Airbnb homes on and off since 2016 and I recently bought this space- May 2021. During this new management transition I will be working out all the hiccups and getting to know the property. It is a work in progress and my aim is to make your travels and your stay at Home in the Heart as relaxing and convenient as possible.
The house has 4 apartments in it. Three of them are connected via sealed entrances that can be opened for large groups. There will be other people sharing the building during your stay, so expect to share walls, parking, porches, and the backyard. I live close by but not on the property. I have very limited interaction with guests and have a contactless check in and check out system. I am available via messaging/phone all the time and you can contact or message me with any questions or needs. I love meeting new people and hearing about your travels.
Other things to note
THERE IS NO GROCERY STORE IN TORREY. The nearest shopping is in Loa, Utah- 17 miles away. Come prepared with groceries or contact Danielle and arrange to have groceries delivered in advance for a nominal fee.
Weather

Torrey is located at 6,800 ft above sea level, so we thankfully don’t get the intense heat that other desert towns experience. Summertime temperatures range from the mid 80's to low 90's during the day and mid 50's to mid 60's at night. Winter high temps are mostly in the mid 30’s to lower 50’s with a few days in the 20’s. Snow doesn't stay long in Torrey but there is plenty of it up on nearby Boulder Mountain.
Thank you for your interest in Home in the Heart. Do not hesitate to reach out with suggestions and feedback of how your stay could be improved and what you loved about your time with us.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Dixie National Forest. Enjoy features like an arcade/game room. A kitchen and 2 bathrooms are available in the apartment.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with kitchen, washing machine, and 2 bathrooms
  • 6 minutes by car from Capitol Reef National Park and 14 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park Visitor Center
This apartment offers its guests barbecue grills, an arcade/game room, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Torrey apartment is smoke free.

One night stay in Torrey
We stayed one night while visiting Capitol Reef. There are very limited options in the area for housing, groceries, gas etc but you can find everything you need. The house is a bit older but there is plenty of space as it has a family room, large kitchen and dining room and then then the bedrooms and bathrooms. There was some mold in the spare bathroom that can be taken care of easily and overall it was a good place to stay and very convenient to the park. We ate the at Mexican place which was good and the Chuck Wagon deli that had a great breakfast and plenty of groceries and supplies as well as box lunches if needed. Make sure to stop for pie inside the park by the visitors center

Perfect Lication in Torrey
We had a great stay! Loved that we could walk to everything in town. Super close to the park - we did some great hikes and the Scenic Loop down through Boulder. We loved all the space in the house, the large kitchen, and the deck. Great stay!

Charming and unpretentious gem
Work brought us to Torrey, and we were fortunate to stay with Danielle. All questions were answered promptly and thoroughly. The space is large and cozy, and had everything we needed and more. Danielle has thoughtfully decorated the space, and stocks a lot of extras, like bath products, laundry detergent, etc. She also has a very fair cleaning fee and reasonable checkout/clean-up expectations, unlike some hosts on this platform and others. I would not hesitate to stay at this property again, whether traveling for business or pleasure, with a family or by myself. Thanks again Danielle!

This unit was very nice! All the rooms were oversized so we were able to spread out. The unit is on the second floor which I missed on the listing. It was perfect location for a mid stop on our trip to see the National parks.

The property was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. The owner was very friendly and communicative. I was sick and she brought me extra Kleenex. Also nice little surprises and extra touches. The pictures represent the place well but may not portray just how spacious it is. I Definitely recommend this place and would certainly stay again if in the area.

Spacious, comfortable space
We enjoyed our stay in this spacious apartment with our two grandsons. After outings in the park each day we were able to relax at “home”. The large kitchen, while a bit dated, is very functional and was great for family dinners. The beds are super comfortable. All in all, this is a great place to stay while visiting Capitol Reef National Park.

HUGE space, great for families
We loved our stay! There was so much space- the living room and kitchen were huge. Everything was clean and well-kept. It's located right in the heart of Torrey, which made it convenient to walk to nearby restaurants and the general store and was about half an hour drive from the Capitol Reef visitors center. Highly recommend for large groups or family gatherings!

Great location for Capital Reef National Park
Rooms were nice, views were nice. The AC is window units but seems to work well. Liked the fact that there was a great coffee and breakfast shop 50 feet outside the door. Definitely worth the stay and we enjoyed hiking in Capital Reef park. Also, there is a convenience store a block down the street that has just about everything you might need so the location really is convenient!
