About this property

Studio Home in the Heart of Utah- You are part of our community

Newly remodeled, airy studio with open floor plan, a perfect romantic getaway or reset from an adventurous day of travel and fun. This ground level dwelling with full kitchen, bath and laundry room is supplied with eco-friendly, paper, soaps and cleaning products. Sitting in the heart of Torrey Utah, just 6 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park you will enjoy the amenities of urban living with multiple coffee shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails right out the front door. You will find this to be the perfect place to stay while exploring aspects of intentional travel and contributing to the local community’s sustainable tourism. Home in the Heart of Utah recognizes the precious land we live with and encourages conscious travelers to minimize impact on the ecosystems in which we are an integral part. We value local businesses and the people who run them. By staying here, you contribute to creating viable community while enjoying the mountains and beautiful desert on which we reside.

Cook a variety of dishes in the full kitchen that hosts a dishwasher, electric range and full size refrigerator. The studio is fully stocked and supplied with everything you should need while away from home. There is drip coffee maker and freshly roasted coffee from our local Shooke Coffee Roasters for the morning. There is a tea kettle, full pots and pans and anything else you may need to whip up a quick dish and the soap for washing up. The Kitchen island sits two and there is a folding table that will roll out and seat four if needed. There is a split cool that controls the temperature .

There are extra hypo allergenic blankets and towels. Eco friendly shampoo, conditioner and body wash are available at the dwelling. We use recycled or bamboo paper products and vegan, organic cleaning products wherever possible.

The bathroom is separated from the rest of the living space by a barn door. It's not insulated for sounds at all. Its best if everyone is very comfortable with each other if you choose to stay here.

The laundry room has organic detergent and stain remover for several loads of laundry. You will find yourself well cared for in this clean and comfortable in this modern dwelling.

There are books and games for entertainment. Netflix and Hulu are available for streaming on the smart TV. We do not have any cable or TV channels.

This property has 4 additional apartments in it. All dwellings are completely private and there is a shared back yard, and seasonal game room.

There is a Pyreneese/Poodle Mix named Penny that hangs out in the backyard sometimes. She's a shy and friendly dog that will welcome you Home.

Great little hideaway in Torrey

This is a wonderful clean large studio apartment. Washer and dryer, kitchen is fully stocked, everything was super clean, we only had one hiccup with a dead battery in the lock on the door - no big deal. Great place will be back.

You will feel right at home in this lovely studio unit and will have everything you need for a great stay. Cute decor, kitchen supplies necessary to cook a complete meal, washer & dryer, comfy bed, and seating. Little market nearby has fresh produce and basic groceries.

We loved staying in the HEART of Torrey!

This was an awesome place to stay as a couple. Plenty of room for both of us, right next to a few restaurants, within walking distance of the tourist area of Torrey and only 10 minutes from the entrance to Capitol Reef. We loved it and would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking of coming to Capitol Reef!

Home away from home in Torrey UT

It is obvious that Danielle cares about your apartments as it has so many unique and special touches. A personal magazine about herself and the area. Super comfy bed, top of the line kitchen and bath supplies -- just a really sweet vrbo.

Great Location

This place is perfect for a place to stay with super easy access to Capitol Reef National Park. Danielle has set this up to be a very comfortable and well decorated & equipped studio apartment. It is on the ground level and the only thing we missed is having the windows opened to see the outside. Since it is adjacent to a coffee shop and restaurant, we were not comfortable with people seeing directly into the unit. But as far as enjoying our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Loved the charming desert vibe that this property offered. It was great to have a full kitchen and a quiet place that just felt more like home than a hotel room.

About the host

Hosted by Danielle Rodier

Host profile image
I speak Spanish as well as English. I have traveled all over the world staying in Airbnb's and an endless variety of temporary homes because of this experience I know what guests need for a restful and impactful vacation. I believe in practicing intentional tourism and sustainable practices. I strive to implement promote and educate about these practices in my apartments in Torrey. I have hosted vacation rental homes on and off since 2017. I bought this property in May 2021. I am excited about the sustainable updates and eco conscious improvements I will continue to bring to this property. This is my life's work in progress and I am excited to share it with you. I live on the property with my shy dog Penny. My passions are building and supporting community, connecting with the land; hiking, canyoneering and biking. I work as a Shamanic healer; hosting healing retreats and events at Home in the Heart of Utah. I am available for shamanic healing sessions and facilitating nature based immersions. Please contact me if you are interested in booking a session or hosting an event or retreat of your own.

Why they chose this property

Hosts eco-friendly, paper, soaps and cleaning products. In the heart of Torrey, minutes from Capitol Reef enjoy multiple coffee shops, and restaurants. A perfect place to stay to support intentional travel and sustainable tourism. We aim to minimize impact on ecosystems, maximize impact on local businesses and support the people who run them. Stay here and take your place in community at Home in the Heart of Utah.

Land Acknowledgment Home in the Heart of Utah land has been the home to many people. I am a direct descendent of Utah Pioneers as well as an immigrants and I am grateful for the privilege of being raised in this region. During that time I rarely heard the traditional names of territories and peoples. Indigenous people and their struggles were talked about as past tense. I honor and acknowledge that we preside on the traditional stolen land of the Hisatsinom (Hopi) Nuu-agha-tuvu-pu (Ute) Nuwuvi (Southern Paiute) peoples past and present. The Wee-noonts, the People Who Lived the Old Ways. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout generations. Let this acknowledgement serve as a reminder of our ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, reconcile, and partner with the people whose land and water we benefit and connect with daily.

What makes this property unique

In the backyard we offer bocce ball, corn hole, badminton and other fun lawn games that you can find in the community game room that has a pool table, ping pong table and darts.

The large backyard with a BBQ and plenty of places to relax and hang out in the shade of the apple trees. Our neighbors have various cute livestock to watch and we have free range chickens plucking around the yard.

Home in the Heart of Utah sits in the HEART of Torrey Utah, just 10 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Enjoy the amenities of urban living with multiple coffee shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails right out the front door. You will find this to be the perfect place to stay while exploring aspects of intentional travel. Contribute to the local sustainable tourism by visiting the Wild Rabbit Cafe, buy coffee from Shooke Coffee Roasters and stop for ice cream at Color Ridge Creamery and Farm literally right next door.
The heart of Utah boasts exceptional landscapes that vary from expansive red rock deserts to high altitude forests. Our neighbors are not just the people next door but the white rock people of Capitol Reef, the Pando tree people of Fish Lake. We honor and protect the vast canyon people of Grand Staircase National Monument and the lake people who live on Boulder Mountain. This is our home and we welcome your love and respect to your home and come find out (quoting Mister Rogers) 'Who are the people in your neighborhood?"
