Lodge Room 1

A private, step-free bedroom with a king bed and its own en-suite bathroom, in a wooden lodge below red sandstone cliffs near Capitol Reef National Park.

Your room
Room 1 is on the main floor, with one king bed and an en-suite bathroom with a roll-in shower and grab bars. It is the step-free room in the Lodge, with a ramp from the parking area and wide doorways. The bathroom is inside your room and is yours alone. Linens, towels, shampoo, body soap and a hair dryer are provided, and the room has its own keypad lock and a bench or luggage rack for your bags.

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.

Shared spaces
These are shared with guests in the other four rooms.
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.
Full kitchen with a professional gas range and double oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, toaster oven, electric kettle and two drip coffee makers, plus pots, pans, dishes and cooking basics like oil, salt and pepper. Coffee, creamer, tea and hot cocoa are set out for you.
Basement lounge with a sectional, smart TV, piano and books, and a half bath.
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.
