Great apartment for a small family in a great location. Parking was behind the home near the entrance door, which made it more secure and a lot easier to load and unload. The host was very kind and communication was perfect. They let us slow charge our electric vehicle overnight with a nearby outlet.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Chicken feces all over outdoor parking are, severe dog urine and feces smell plus stains on carpeting indoors. Host uses Febreze, but that doesn't take care of the stench. We were unable to stand the smell to use the Q bedroom - urine/feces so strong, immediate headaches. Smaller bedroom also reeks of dog urine/feces. Woke up to spider bites on our hands and feet. Yellow stained mat in shower, so we didn't use the shower. Advertised w/ shower& dryer, which is why we rented for one twenty five, but dryer's heating element is not functioning, so it does not dry clothes. By the time we figured this out, laundromats were closed. Left with soggy damp clothes on our backs and in our suitcases. Dripping water stained ceiling panels, and black mold around bottom corner of door/mat that leads to outdoor stairs on the interior side of that door and mat. I was still willing to leave a positive review if we'd had to deal with 1-2 of these things, but all together, it is the most disgusting stay we've ever had anywhere. We left at daybreak, and it took all day after leaving to feel normal again - black mold and dog urine/feces are terrible for your respiratory system! Wish we could leave a positive review, but other guests need to know the health risks they are taking by staying here.

Best Basecamp Ever!

This host is amazing! She was quick to respond to our questions and so helpful and willing to meet our needs. The host had a wonderful welcome basket and a binder to help us get to know the area. The kitchen is well stocked. The couch pulls out so you could sleep on it or relax after a long day of hiking. I missed that there wasn’t a TV when I booked, but we streamed on a laptop. We would LOVE to stay here again. We highly recommend this place.

Just like Grandma's

Cozy place, great location, within walking distance to the museum. It does sleep, 6 but probably not 6 adults. The beds are pretty small. It worked great for my family of 6, but four of us were teens/kids. Host was fantastic. We would stay here again in a heart beat.

We loved our visit to the farm. We enjoyed seeing the baby goats. This was a great location as we visited several National Monuments in the surrounding area. The kitchen supplies are limited but we were able to make do with what was available. We probably cook more than most people.

The Grovers were super responsive and accommodating. They are awesome. We needed to a special early check-in due to a same day funeral at noon. We were able to quickly wash/dry and iron laundry and make it on time. The decor is as the name suggests - like staying with Grandma. No frills and not roomy, but clean and comfy. My only suggestion would be to get a cheap wall mount smart TV for the kitchen area.

Nice basement apartment central to southern Utah state and national parks with a very welcoming host

This was a modest basement apartment attached to the host's house with a fairly private side entrance down a flight of 12 stairs off a short gravel driveway. The appliances were dated but functional and satisfactory. The dining area was a little proscribed, but not a fatal flaw for our group. Sleeping accommodations were adequate and access to the museums and parks was wonderful. The host was quite friendly and even kind to our curious 5-yr-old when he had important questions about her goats and horses.

Comfortable family setting with a good location for day trips in and out of parks and monuments. The apartment is very private with good parking. The Edge of the Cedars park and museum is at the end of the street. We were there three days and could have stayed longer with more to do.

Blanding 2 bedroom

The town was really nice and close to lots of beautiful sights. The basement was a nice place to relax and have some room to spread out compared to all the motels we stayed in during the trip. It was nice to have two bedrooms. The washer and dryer came in handy as we were halfway through our trip and could wash clothes. Jamal we met us outside to show us how to get in and where to park. She was helpful when we left as well. Not fancy but everything we needed.
