What to do,.. what to do...

Let's talk.  What do you think is the number one question we get asked about having a vacation rental in Sanpete County?  Do you give up?  WHAT IS THERE TO DO!!!???? Well, let me tell you, there is LOTS to do.  TONS.

Partial list:  Rock climbing, fishing, snow mobiling, four wheeling, hiking, shopping, eating, touring old homes (or just stay in one), museum hopping, buying art, seeing old pioneer stuff, watching cows and sheep and horses, buying fresh turkey from the turkey plant store, seeing one of the two Carnegie Libraries left in the United States, did I say rock climbing, snow kiting (watch some you tube videos its amazing), golf, kayaking, paddle boating, pottery buying,  playing pool in our awesome game room,  maybe take in a play at Snow College. Star gazing cause let's be honest, there isn't much of a night life here, although there are three screens in Ephraim and in the summer in Mt. Pleasant, A DRIVE IN.  With burgers and stuff.  Mt. Pleasant recently opened an indoor pool with a slide and a zero entry area for toddlers.  There is a splash pad for summer and the entire south side of the building opens up so when the weather warms up you can easily be outside!

Let's talk ancestors.  Got some?  We have some here in Sanpete County.  We have cemeteries, we have geneology libraries, we have a Daughters of the Utah Pioneer museum with old pictures and information.  Fairview Museum has old stuff too.  And a replica of the mammoth found up Fairview Canyon. (You have to trust, seriously its THERE).

Festivals?  Oh yea.  We have those too.  Scandinavian festival, Chocolate Festival, Lamb Days, Independence Day Celebrations, Snowmobile contests, 10k at 10,000' (If you are a runner you HAVE to add this to your lists of events), Pioneer Day Celebrations, the Rat Fink Reunion in Manti, the demolition derbys in the summer, Sanpete County Fair, the Manti LDS Church Pageant, Moroni Mud Bogs...

OR

Hang out in our gorgeous home and read a book.  We have LOTS. and by lots I mean I should open my own library. One of the first questions my husband asked me after we got married was if I ever heard of a library.  Why yes I have, thank you.  It is in these 20 boxes right here.   

Our televisions are all equipped with wifi so you can stream Netflix, Amazon Prime or whatever you binge watch.

Need a staycation?  Want to save money on gas?  Stay a weekend.  We will give you a really good deal for a longer stay.    You won't ever want to leave.

OH!!  I almost forgot.  Donuts.  Who likes donuts raise your hand (both of mine are HIGH up in the air).  We have in Mt. Pleasant the BEST donuts in Utah, or farther.  Terrells Country Bakery is only four blocks away.  You may have seen their frozen rolls in your Utah grocery store.   If you ask me nice I'll leave a dozen for you.  FREE.  and I'll still leave your fresh baked pumpkin bread too.
