About this cabin rental

Rancho Sin Vacas is a beautiful, secluded, 12-acre property on the North Fork of the Duchesne River. Located at the base of the Ashley National Forest in Hanna, Utah. Hanna's population is about 100, luckily, my site is sandwhiched between Navajo Red Sandstone outcroppings. This no traffic light, one gas station town is 78 miles east of Salt Lake City. Has the charm of locals waving at on coming cars and a grocery store that sells milk and horseshoes by the pound. My Ranch house has an updated kitchen complete with a set of new appliances, dining room, a living room with a new leather queen bed sofa sleeper, a full bath, one large bedroom with a queen bed, and a bedroom cantilevered over the river with a queen bed (max occupancy of rented area is 6). The cantilevered room was originally built 40 years ago and is the only legal cantilevered structure over the Duchesne River. Windows are on all sides, with electric heat, not radiant. The front deck of the ranch house is 25 feet from the river and a large fire pit 15 feet from the river. A small campfire area and seating is on the river bank under the cantilevered bedroom...3 feet from the river. I own about 1/4 mile of river frontage, both sides...three to four fishing holes are present, where brown and rainbow trout reside. Guests can fish up and down the Duchesne River for miles, since the State of Utah Department of Resources purchased these rights in the 70's. So fish as long as you want and come back and hang out near the river... the mesmerizing sound of the river and the the bright stars at 6800 feet is spectacular way to unwind for the day. For over 20 years, Rancho Sin Vacas has served as a sandbox for raising my three daughters. It is time to share this gem. Come fish and play on my property on the Duchesne River. Since I am the very first legal Bed and Breakfast in Duchesne County, it is mandatory that I am present on site. Guests get the cantilevered bedroom exclusively, but not the entire ranch house. I have a studio upstairs, not over any of the rented area. But I might spend the night in my 800 square foot , ten tree treehouse aka...Tajmahut.. complete with Murphy bed and fireplace up river... or across the river in my 16 ft by 24 ft wall tent ...aka... Preacher Tent. Every night is different, but all a guest needs to do is text me, and I will get back in a few minutes!
There is a 2 night minimum.

This was the perfect place to unwind and relax. The sounds of the river was perfect. Sitting by the fire and listening to the river was definitely what we needed. The perfect getaway from the hustle and noise of the city life. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to just recharge and relax.

We have four kids ages 7-14, and have been looking for a perfect rental-- away from it all (but still with wifi, of course.. ha!), with a safe outdoor space for our kids, ideally near water, no traffic noise... This place is it AND SO MUCH MORE. We shared our location with the 4 resident llamas that my daughter loved feeding. We all loved the BB shooting range, and the frisbee golf kept everyone entertained. Sitting by the stream was absolutely perfect. The fire pit was well stocked with dry wood and Carl had everything we could possibly need for the visit. Literally just bring yourselves, a swimsuit, something warmer for the evenings/mornings, and water shoes and you'll be set. This is exactly the getaway we needed and wanted. We can't wait to go back!

We had a great time relaxing for a few days at the cabin! My kids (age 9,14) enjoyed feeding the llamas, fishing and going in the river with the tubes that were provided by Carl.. Carl met us there and explained everything thoroughly and gave us great ideas what to do for the days we were there.. the cabin was very clean and we slept great!!

Loved it. So different from other VRBO places I've stayed, which was a huge bonus in my opinion. Beautiful, private, and quaint. Carl shows you the ropes then sets you free to explore. Loved his enthusiasm, it's contagious. Morning coffee standing inches from the river was pretty amazing. The sunrise and fall colors were spectacular. Loved being able to walk a few yards whenever the mood suited me to throw a line in the water. Definitely worth walking the trail to see the Redrock, as well as the view of the river and valley below. Take a camera. The llamas were a bonus. Loved watching them wonder around the ground playing; and treat time was hilarious. I'm most definitely coming back. Once isn't enough.
