Groovy Country Pad in a Serene Setting

IMPORTANT. This home is NOT close to Eagle Point ski resort in Beaver Utah. Read information at the end of this section below.

Stay with us and you'll think you're back in the 1970s. This home features carpet of rust and orange, and a hippie bathroom with orange sinks and an orange bathtub. Make yourself at home in a nearly 1500 Square foot pad with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a throwback kitchen, dining room and large front room. This home is ideally situated for anyone wanting to visit any of the four Southern Utah national parks. It is quiet and peaceful and the perfect spot for someone seeking a calming and recreational escape.
The kitchen has plenty of utensils for cooking your own breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is only one grocery store in town and you would be well advised to bring your own food if you intend to cook more than the basics.
WiFi and television is available.
There is also a clothes washer and dryer available. There is an uncovered patio off the back porch.
Just for fun, we've also furnished this space with a number of pieces of furniture that have secret compartments hidden in them. You are welcome to try and discover how to access the compartments.
Junction is a small, quiet town with less than 180 inhabitants. It is surrounded by mountains to the east and west. Frankly, there is not much to do or see in Junction itself, but the five national parks are a couple hours away and this location is a great home base for anyone wishing to take in a couple of them during their visit. Butch Cassidy's boyhood home is about 10 minutes away. Junction is also adjacent to the world famous Paiute ATV Trail and the perfect place to stage trail rides. The nights are cool and peaceful.
There is a picnic campground 7 miles up City Creek canyon to the west that is free and beautiful.
There is one gas station with snacks and drinks and a grocery store that offers the basics. There is a restaurant 5 miles to the south in Circleville Utah and other restaurants in Marysvale Utah 14 miles north. The nearest pharmacy is in Panguitch 35 miles to the south or in Richfield 39 miles to the north.

The property is surrounded by many southern Utah attractions, most within a three hour drive.

the stay was good being older style was ok but the older smell of the house was not that great bedding etc was clean , house needs a good cleaning and dusting trough out. liked the size of the rooms, allowed everyone to move around and not be cramped . only stayed 1 night so did'nt get to use outside much, if we did stay longer the outside could use some work grass trimming etc. it was nice and quiet area. kitchen area was the nicest area in the house.tv worked fine. might want to go to an ac and get rid of the swamper, kept thing cool but noisy to sleep to. for us the old smell was the only draw back we felt. we were all men staying there so we were ok dont think our wives would have liked it. did show some pictures to them ,later they said they were glad it was us.

The house was clean and the owners were friendly and responsive. My kids had fun figuring out the furniture puzzles around the house. It’s definitely old and has the older home quirks and smells - reminded me of staying at my grandmas place. The wifi worked and the tv was nice. It was close enough to Bryce Canyon to be a good landing place for us and it was nice to have a kitchen to prepare our own food.

Great house but needs cleaning please
There is only one thing that this house needs to make it a great stay, and that is a good clean of everything. Everything. Bedding, sheets and towels are fine. Carpets OK. However, absolutely everything else needs a really good scrub. Some appliances are so dirty you actually can't use them. You can hardly see through the windows. The bathrooms need a good scrub. Please note that I could never be described as a clean freak, so for me to comment, it has to be bad. We were all very surprised at the various dirty things we kept encountering. It's a real shame, as otherwise the house is fabulous, with comfy beds and plenty of space.

Don't rent what you wont live in
I was very disappointed in the house in Junction Utah. At the last minute The owner called and moved us to another house. I believe whoever had it extended their stay. The house we originally rented had 3 bedrooms and 3 baths and a washer and dryer. The substitute had 2 baths and slept 10. The driveway was full of nails and metal objects which we continually picked up to keep from getting flat tires. The kitchen was clean. The shower curtains were coated in soap scum. You couldn't turn the water in the shower it took 2 people because it was separating from the shower wall and stiff. The toilet leaked in front the cover on the back of the toilet was painted wood. The shower head fell off on two different people. What if it had been the children. No night stands. Shower rod in one bathroom hung upside down and water went every where. Broken glass in front window which my granddaughter almost put her hand through.Plants overgrown on sidewalk and step not attached which someone had to stand on each side to keep it from flipping with me and the cane.uneven floor in bedroom covered with carpet and furniture worn and covered with comforters. Very disappointing. Will not recomend.

Winter!
We were looking to get the family out of Henderson Nevada and into some snow for New Years. The house was perfect for put family of 6 and could have fit more. We spent a day in Eagle Point. An excellent ski resort far less popular than Bryan Head. We spent another day exploring Bryce Canyon. We found a great spot for the kids to sled on mini-Bryce Canyon and it was great! We will definitely be back. The owner Andy was an excellent host and answered any questions we had. Great trip! Makes me want to buy a home nearby!
