Retreat on 153 acres starting at a river and ending in a canyon, come have fun!

A beautiful, retreat on 153 acres in Spanish Fork Canyon, with endless opportunities to explore and play. We just added a hot tub, fireplace and game consoles to the house and lots of games to our game shed, we have foosball, air hockey, ping pong and pool! Along side the shed is a large field that has been converted to a campground. We are in prime hunting area as well. This home is a great home base for hunters in the fall. This is a gorgeous area, with a canyon on one end and access to wilderness land on the other. You can sled, snowshoe and cross-country ski in the winter, hike and mountain bike in the summer, or just gaze up at the millions of stars that explode across the sky at night. I fell in love with this property for its incredible views, its seclusion, and the opportunity to connect with the outdoors.

We have a large 20x50 insulated shed near the home with Kitchenette and games with a large camping area beside it. It is a great place to gather outside of the heat of summer or cold of winter. Our campground with a large fire pit is next to the shed. The campground can hold multiple tents and there is parking areas sufficient for a few RV's although we do not have hookups for RVs. If you will have more than 20 guests extra fees may apply, please inquire.

Coming soon on the hayfield bordering the bank of the thistle river, we are creating a cut-your-own Christmas tree farm! We’re excited to preserve this virgin area and share it with the community.

As a safety note, we are on a workings farm with equipment and horses that we access to care for.
We have thistle creek that runs on the property that is great for fishing and wading but water safety measures should be taken. We also are in the mountains where you can enjoy visits from deer, elk, and wild turkeys but should know that rattle snakes are present in this region as well.

Home on the Range
The theme of our retreat was about ranch-style living. We did some cooking, crafting, hiking and singing 'round the campfire. It was a delight! The refrigerator is rather small if you are planning to bring enough food for 10 or more. But the table is terrific - we got 14 around it comfortably. And there is an additional fridge in the outbuilding. The bunks are uncomfortable for people over about 40 years old but children can clamber into and out of them easily. The internet is unreliable which we found to be a bonus - we just put away our phones and computers and talked to each other! The views, the sunsets and the stars at night made up for any inconveniences.

Nice out of the way place.
Nicely remodeled and Had plenty of bedroom space.for our family of 16. Our adult kids and 7 grandkids. Kitchen and gathering area is small. Needed deck furniture like a table. The large shed where kids rode scooters around was great. Nice creek down below house. Had power outage last night we were there but was in contact with Heather about it. Was close to Spanish Fork where we went to see fireworks on the 24 th. Also spent morning at Scofield reservoir till thunderstorm hit.

Fun For All The Family
We had a fun family reunion here at this cute property. Had plenty of bedrooms for our large group. Kitchen was a small but doable. Large yard and large outbuilding that worked out perfectly for our activities. Fun hikes close by in Diamond Fork Canyon. A/C didn't work too well our first night but we left windows open at night and it cooled the house down so subsequent days A/C worked fine. Gets pretty cool at night there. We had a great time. Thanks!

Quiet getaway
This location and size of home worked out perfectly for our family! We loved that it was tucked away from other homes so that we could enjoy our time. We got to lay out late at night under the stars near the firepit. Having the larger garage to use was so nice for crafts, games, meals and indoor basketball!!! The beds were comfy and set up was great. Take bug spray and keep window’s closed during dusk hours.

Amazing!
This property is fantastic. It provides such an easy opportunity to disconnect from everything and enjoy the fresh air and quiet of nature. We spotted elk, turkeys, lots of birds, and a herd of deer that was about 30 strong a few times. We enjoyed and will definitely return. The owner is amazing, responsive, and easy to communicate with.

excellent rural getaway
We spent the weekend at the house for a work wellness retreat, and it was the perfect setting! We had ~15 people and the sleeping situation worked out well with plenty of space. The beds are super comfortable, everything is well stocked. We were there during a snowstorm, and the sledding down the road was epic! Kitchen is a little small as mentioned before, and made for some intimate cooking. Also when Heather says 4WD and good tires, that's accurate. We tried getting up in the snow with several AWD vehicles without snow tires and no luck. The lack of (most) cell service made the shuttling a little difficult, so just plan for that (we had people call when they were entering American Fork canyon and met them in 20 min). But it also made it more of a getaway being a little disconnected (there's good wifi though). Heather is very responsive and helpful as well.

Great experience!
We spent Thanksgiving here and had a wonderful stay. Used the fire pit for s’mores and had a birthday party in the recreation center. The extra fridge in the rec center came in handy for all our leftovers. Heather was great to work with and had the place decorated nicely and answered all our questions immediately. We had 9 adults, 7 children under 12 and pets so it was a houseful, but it all worked great. We saw deer everyday of our stay, that was awesome.

Family Thanksgiving Trip
We had a great family thanksgiving stay in this home. We had 18 family members to include 7 children. The beds were comfortable and the downstairs living area was a great place for the kids to play or watch movies. Never had an issue with water when showering! It gets HOT with great pressure throughout the home. The kitchen was a little small with this many people trying to do a thanksgiving meal but otherwise I think it would be fine for normal vacation getaways. Heather was in great contact and assisted when ever needed. Since there is not a trash service she did have the trash picked up mid week, and if there was a problem or question, she was quick to respond. The dryer stopped working and they had it replaced the next day. The property is amazing. Lots of places to hike and explore. Beautiful views both day and night. This would be a star gazers paradise! A few key tips. We underestimated how long the driveway was even after being told. There is cell service but it is low, and when you try to connect multiple devices to the WiFi does buffer. It is a short drive to Spanish Fork which has most stores you would need. If you plan on hiking, we highly recommend Three Forks Hot Springs. It is very close by and amazing! Remember to take a change of clothes so you can get in. Totally worth the hike!
