    WOW! what an amazing place to stay for the weekend. Courage ridge was seriously a great! So close to Capital Reef National Park. The staff was so friendly and accommodating - you can request s'mores, food for grilling, hot tub time, and more! They also have an electric charger which was a big pull for us. The area where Cougar Ridge sits, is so much land. This would be an ideal spot for a wedding or family reunion. They have a variety of animals who were extremely friendly that I needed to say hi to everyday. For breakfast, they supply various food in the reception area for everyone who is staying. Depending on where you stay, you can have a full family in one of the lodges or stay in one of the villas. We will absolutely be back!

    Amazing dog-friendly resort! They have private villas or individual suites. There are farm animals, a pool, gym, and hot tub. We cannot wait to go back for a longer stay.

    Cougar Ridge is heaven on Earth! The accommodations are incredible. We rented a villa with two bedrooms. The bathrooms, bedrooms, and living areas were clean, comfortable and absolutely beautiful. My family loved the pool, cabanas with fire pits, pickleball, and basketball court. We were also able to feed the goats and horses. We came with the intention of spending most of our time in the national park but we couldn't wait to get back to the ranch to hang out on the property! They have a self serve breakfast in the main office area. We loved the homemade quiche and frittatas...and the espresso machine! Wow! The entire stay was better than we could have imagined! We can't wait to return one day.

    We stayed at Capitol Reef Resort and had a really good experience overall, with a few surprises…read moremixed in. We got there right at our 4 pm check in time and our Conestoga wagon was ready. I figured this was probably my one chance in life to sleep in a wagon, and it had plenty of room for the four of us. The setup is really cool. All the wagons are arranged around a huge fire pit and they look awesome in person. For pricing, our first night in the wagon came out to 319 dollars plus tax. With sales tax and lodging tax, the total for that night was 361.17. We had already paid that as a deposit, so it was covered. The bathrooms are not attached to the wagons, but you get your own private bathroom with a shower and you access it with a key card. The wagon itself has a front door that uses an actual key, which adds to the whole experience. We grabbed dinner, came back, and had a great time at the fire pit while the girls roasted s'mores. Everything felt perfect. We went to bed around ten. Then the wind showed up. At about 2 am I woke up to the sound of the wind hitting the canvas. It was loud. Way louder than I expected. The girls slept right through it, but my wife and I were basically awake for the rest of the night. The funny part is that when I walked to the bathroom at 4 am, it was not even windy outside. The canvas just catches whatever breeze there is and makes it sound like a storm. By six we gave up and got up for the day. The next morning I went to the front desk to see if we could switch rooms. The staff was super helpful and understanding. For an extra 90.58 we upgraded to a cabin and it was absolutely worth it. The cabin was awesome. It had a loft, a big main bedroom with a king bed, four bunk beds, a full size fridge, a microwave, and a two burner stove. The bathroom had a tub, shower, toilet, and sink. It was comfortable, clean, and honestly felt like a small house. After spending the day hiking around Capitol Reef, coming back to that cabin felt amazing. Our second night in the cabin was 399 dollars plus tax. With sales tax and lodging tax, that night came out to 451.74. Between the wagon night, the cabin night, and the upgrade charge, the total for the stay was 718.01 before taxes and 812.92 after taxes, which we had already paid. The front desk staff deserves credit. They were friendly, patient, and gave great tips for food and even where I could charge my car. Bottom line. The wagons are a fun and unique experience, but if you are a light sleeper, the wind might get you. The cabins are fantastic and worth the upgrade. The staff is great and the location is perfect for exploring Capitol Reef. I would stay here again, but next time I am booking the cabin from the start.

    Title: An Average Property with Unacceptable Service…read more I recently spent two nights at Capitol Reef Resort. The property itself was average, but the service was extremely disappointing. My room was not ready, so I was unable to check in until after 5:00 p.m. More troubling was the consistently rude and unhelpful attitude of the staff. The resort's restaurant was also very disappointing. Rim Rock, directly across the street, offers a far better dining experience. The final problem occurred after checkout. A package had arrived for me the previous day, but the staff neither notified me nor gave it to me when I checked out. They called only after I had reached Moab. When I called to arrange for the package to be returned, the person identified as the supervisor hung up on me. An average property can be forgiven; rude and careless service cannot. I recommend choosing another place to stay.

    Sand Creek RV Park is everything you hope to find in an RV stay and more…read more We've stayed at many RV parks across the country, but none have felt as special or memorable as this one. From the moment we pulled in, we were warmly welcomed by Leslie, the kindest and most thoughtful hostess we've ever met. She truly goes above and beyond to make guests feel seen, supported, and at home. Her presence alone makes this park exceptional. The park itself is beautifully maintained--clean, quiet, and perfectly laid out for both comfort and community. Whether you're staying for a night or a week, you'll find peace and care in every corner of the space. The views alone are worth the stop. Traveling as a family, it meant the world to be in a place that felt safe, personal, and genuinely welcoming. Leslie was friendly and always there with a smile, helpful tips, and really made my kids feel like they were just as important as everyone else in the park. If you're reading this and considering a stay, don't hesitate. Sand Creek RV Park is a gem, and Leslie is the heart that makes it shine. We're incredibly grateful for the experience and already looking forward to returning. Thank you, Leslie, for everything!

Unfortunately, the funeral was scheduled during our trip & we had to cancel. I emailed 8 times, made calls, etc. I even sent the Obituary/Funeral arrangements. I never heard back from anyone and was charged the full amount. Harry, the Owner, finally calls a week later. Apologizes for an error with their phone/email system on their end. He offers to refund me. We are now going on 2 weeks & no refund! I've emailed & called numerous times. They are a fraudulent couple after reading other reviews. I will be disputing charges with my Credit Card company since I have the voicemail stating their intention of a refund. I had higher hopes for a small town in Utah. Sad to be scammed by this place.

    We stayed at Austin's Chuckwagon Motel for a night while exploring Capitol Reef in one of the…read moreretro-Queen rooms above the store. This is a room that isn't advertised in 3rd party sites and has to be booked on the property website only - it's something like 50% cheaper than the rooms in the hotel. The room comes with unlimited tea, coffee, and hot chocolate from the General Store/Cafe. We were a bit confused with how it worked since other customers have to pay for drinks, but the clerk assured us we could go whenever to get drinks (which we did multiple times!) While we checked in too late in the day to eat at the deli and left too early in the morning for Chuckwagon's famous lunch boxes, we did hit it up in the morning for breakfast pastries, which according to the cashier are all baked in house (and why we were attracted to them in the first place). We were having trouble deciding between the Kouign Amann and the Chocolate Croissant, eventually deciding on the former, but the cashier tossed us the latter for free! What great service! Chocolate Croissant (Complementary, normally $6) - This is a gorgeous looking croissant, golden brown with a drizzle of sweet chocolate on top, still soft and gooey thanks to being fresh from the oven. It's baked hard, so croissant shards fly everywhere while eating. I'd say it's baked a tad too long, so while extremely flaky, the interior isn't quite as chewy as I'd like. The lamination does look quite good from what I can tell after having some difficulty slicing through with a plastic knife. As is traditional, two chocolate batons are baked inside. (5/5) Kouign Amann w/ Cream ($6) - Again, this pastry has a really hard bake, so almost the entire thing shatters easily, except for the stellar caramelized sugar layer covering the bottom. It's hardened, sticky, and sweet with a great crunch factor. The interior is actually correct for a Kouign Amann, which is really surprising for a small-town bakery. It's not laminated nearly as much as the croissant, and instead seems to be a nice enriched brioche interior, albeit not particularly airy and soft in texture due to the bake. There's a really tangy and somewhat sweet cream cheese frosting that's piped into the center. I'd actually prefer the pastry without this extra flourish, but beggars can't be choosers! (5/5) Both pastries are more of a 4.5/5 due to the bake, but the ingredients and technique (other than bake) seem to be well thought out. We were not expecting much from these baked goods given that the Chuckwagon Deli isn't exactly a specialty bakery, but in the end we were extremely surprised by the quality. I'll definitely be revisiting if I'm ever in town again.

Guests of the motel gets free coffee, tea, or hot chocolate from the general store which is open early til late, 10pm I believe. We ate at the deli for breakfast. I was looking forward to the quiche based on what I saw on the Yelp pictures but I guess the menu has changed. They only offer breakfast sandwiches now but it's made to order so we got to choose type of eggs and proteins. It did take a bit a time for them to make it so factor that in when planning your visit. The sandwiches were ~$12 each but were pretty filling so perfect for another day of hiking.

She pulled out a map and showed me exactly where they were. They're not Superchargers. They're the regular home style Tesla chargers, but they also have the other connector I needed for my Cadillac SUV, so it worked out perfectly. I drove over, plugged in, scanned the QR code on the side of the charger, and it turned on right away. The Tesla app handled everything without any issues. The charging speed is what you'd expect from a home charger, but for an overnight stay it's totally fine. They're completely okay with people leaving their cars there overnight. Just lock it and let it charge. It's a little pricey, but when you look at the fact that there are basically no other charging options for 85 to 100 miles, it's actually a solid option. If you're passing through Torrey with an EV, this place makes things a lot easier.

The cabin was very comfortable (pillows need upgrading/change out) and clean. It came with a little kitchenette which was nice. They do serve coffee and what looked like store donuts as continental breakfast which we passed on.

He seems very busy arranging for ATV/UTV rides and fly-fishing trips so we never saw him; his daughter was very helpful with checking us in and explaining everything. We stayed just one night in the Chamisa room, that's a huge third-floor suite with a fine view of the sunrise - actually a required view since there are no shades on that enormous window lol. The bathroom is just across the hall. Comfortable bed, good strong A/C, everything was great. Hotel staff cooked us breakfast right on the dot of 7:30am! Torrey is a tiny town with a lot of character, there's good coffee, good food and very good hiking not that far away. I don't recommend walking there after dark, there's just no safe path. You can ignore the old review comments about Irene and Kim, also the Yelp business description. They sold the business to Shawn and are no longer active here. If you don't mind the cost, I recommend a sunset tour in a utility terrain vehicle ("side-by-side" aka UTV). Adam took us up top a nearby rock formation that let us see all of Torrey, and gave us quick geology & history lessons while we were up there, it was a great time. Finding the Skyridge's entrance dirt road can be a struggle, and they appropriately warn guests that your phone's map will probably fail on the listed address. For what it's worth, this address took me right to the spot, your mileage will vary: "714 SR-24 Teasdale, UT 84773"

His greeting is genuinely warm and enthusiastic. When he apologizes for your room not being ready quite yet, he means it. And then he'll go above and beyond just to check with the staff personally, to see how much longer they estimate, just so he can update you accurately. We'd been traveling for 10 days around the Easter holiday, taking in the Big 5, so we'd also been checking into and out of numerous hotels and inns. The facility is basic but the rooms were larger than expected with a setup convenient for travelers - the sink area is separate from the toilet and shower. Our room was equipped with a fridge, microwave, TV, ironing board, desk and bench. It was more than adequate for our luggage and overnight needs. Although dated, the room was clean and well supplied. We checked in at 4pm, but were told that it would be about thirty minutes until our room would be ready. No problem, I connected to WiFi and waited in the lobby. This is how I witnessed Jamal's caring demeanor, as customers continued checking in. For such a small town, I didn't expect it to be so busy, but there were even a few people that had to be turned away for not having a reservation. When this happened, Jamal gave them recommendations for lodging options as well as restaurants nearby. Continental breakfast is somewhat sparse but still adequate. From 0630-0930

No, it was not a stain, because I took a washcloth and cleaned off part of it to be sure. The Wi-Fi worked great... Which is the only reason I chose a hotel over a campsite Since I had to work while in this area Again, you think with the amount of money I paid for this room something more than cold cereal and pasteurized, no refrigeration needed juices could be served. I exaggerate slightly here because there were other options, but nothing hot. It is a true continental breakfast. And don't expect to get anybody to answer the phone... I called five times before arriving. And the phone in the room didn't work. Honestly, the best thing about this hotel is the hot tub and the reason it got a second star.
