Cougar Ridge Resort LLC

This place is a real treat. Exterior buildings look plain, but rooms are wonderful. We stayed in a Lower Indian Villa and it was terrific. New, great granite counters throughout, large shower with excellent huge shower, nice patio with chairs to relax. Dimmers on lights in bedroom, something few hotels do. They have a central room in their clubhouse building which has great options for a self-serve breakfast. Decent espresso machine, juice, yogurt, fruits, breads, quiche slices to warm up. Well stocked. They have a pool and exercise room and sauna—did not see or use those. Location is excellent—make sure to get easy directions to check-in from hotel,not Google. About 15 minutes from entry to Capitol Reef where there are great hikes (Chimney Rock was excellent, as was Gooseneck Overlook). We were there for the fall colors—drove about 30 minutes north to the Fish Lake National Forest and the Pando Aspen Grove which were absolutely beautiful. Loved Hunt & Gather for dinner—see that review separately—an easy 10 minute drive from the hotel. This is a really special place in Torrey that should not be missed!

If you're planning a visit to Capitol Reef National Park and searching for exceptional accommodations, look no further. We recently spent four nights in one of the casitas and were impressed by both the natural beauty of the surroundings and the high-quality design and comfort of the resort. The room was spacious and the bed very comfortable, making it a true haven for relaxation. The resort is peaceful and the soundproofing was excellent—you could hear absolutely nothing to disrupt your sleep. The property also has a stunning spa area and outdoor pool, with every detail thoughtfully curated. If you're considering just a one-night stay, do yourself a favor and extend your visit—you won't regret it. We wish we could find accommodations like this one in every national park!

This place was gorgeous!! The rooms and the grounds were very clean and quiet. The bathrooms were clean and beautiful. The bed was so comfy! But,hands down my favorite thing about the place was the animals!! The goats were precious and super friendly!! They also have the sweetest kitten, Pattycake, that would find me and greet me every time she saw me walking around. This place was not just a place to stay while visiting Capitol Reef, but an experience!!

Absolutely idyllic and packed filled with amenities and activities. Everything was so thoughtfully done to make the guest experience luxurious and special. We’ve stayed at FSs, Ritzs, Amans, and I would pick this stay over all of them given the value and friendliness. You never felt you were trespassing. The room itself was extremely clean which I was amazed by given the rugged beauty of Capitol Reef. You can just tell how much pride the owner puts in their property by looking at the tile work and finishes. As a dark sky enthusiast, I also appreciated their commitment to ensuring their exterior lights are dark-sky friendly whereas every other chain motel/hotel in the area puts up giant light signs. They truly love Torrey and really want to share it with you. We can’t wait to come back with our families.

This is an incredibly beautiful setting with fabulous casitas and amenities. The pool, spa, workout room and pickleball courts were top notch. The breakfast offerings were delicious and available on our schedule. We will definitely be back!
