Cougar Ridge was incredible and unique. The instructions to find the ridge were quite long and a bit confusing at first, but after a couple of reads, we found it. The staff were really helpful and even gave us their phone number in case we ran into any issues, which was reassuring. We opted for one of the bigger rooms, and it was absolutely stunning. Honestly, we would have loved to stay for 2-3 days had our itinerary allowed, but it was a perfect spot for a quick stop. The room was fully kitted out with everything you’d need for a self-catered stay. Both the living area and the bedroom were well-presented, clean, and comfortable. The surroundings were lovely, and we enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the ranch and farm. The breakfast was generous, with a self-serve setup that was perfect for us. Everything was stocked up, and we even grabbed some snack bars to take with us for our walk through Capitol Reef that day. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay for Capitol Reef, I highly recommend Cougar Ridge.

Just one thing to note: the ROOM SPECIFIC photos on Booking.com urgently need updating. They don’t do the place justice at all — they only show a small part of the bedroom, but there’s so much more to it!

Room was extremely comfortable in ranch style with big wooden furniture. Great bathroom. Gym was incredibly well equipped plus pool and hot tub. Breakfast was self service but good choice.

Would love more of a Utah welcome... feels like the accommodation is just a business venture... would love more engagement by 'front of house staff' for example, telling us about all the facilities available (we found amenities by accident), food and drink options as well as info about the ranch.

The casita was an awesome accommodation, we loved sitting on the deck looking out at the ridge. The property is beautiful and has everything you'd want for a fun vacation including Thor, the largest longhorn you have ever seen. Breakfast was the best we had on our two week trip. The location is unbeatable if you are visiting the parks east and west. The highlight of our visit to Cougar Ridge was the great hospitality. CR is a hidden gem and we'd definitely return.

The villas are extremely well done. Absolute top craftmenship quality - thick stone counters, slate floors, heavy solid wood doors, Traeger grills, solid metal outdoor dining - the list is endless. And the setting is absolutely stunning - views over the local features and set in a working farm. So peaceful and relaxing.

Nothing at all. It was great!

This place is just amazing, not only the house but overall place. The staff is friendly, helpful, and communicative. This is a ranch with animals that kids (and adults) can visit and pet. Owners were so kind that they introduced us to baby goats, explained how to behave around them, and let us go into the fenced area. At the reception area, they have an engaging souvenir store and breakfast area where everyone can find something for themself (super happy for gluten-free options). Everywhere can be sensed amazing feeling for interior and landscape design - everything is done with perfection and attention to detail. We all loved the pool area - they have several saunas, a unique outdoor pool with (heated/cooled) resting pavilions, a jacuzzi, a grill with tables, and a fire pit area. It was made very thoughtful. I wish we could have stayed longer.

The location was just perfect for proximity to Capitol Reef National Park—just about 10 minutes away. The ranch had horses, goats, a donkey, llamas, and one of the coolest dogs I’ve ever met. My kids were just crazy about all the animals. We stayed in a villa, and from the moment we walked in, we were overwhelmed with its charm and size and view of the farm and mountains. We only planned to stay one night before driving back to Salt Lake City, but we loved it so much that we decided to extend our stay an extra night about five minutes after arriving!

Great stay at Cougar Ridge. Wonderful Casita with everything you need to feel at home. A welcome change from the hotels that we stayed in leading up to here. Very convenient for Capital Reef. Staff were great and took the time to let our girls feed the animals and spend time in the ranch. Highly recommend.

Breakfast logistics could have been better communicated. They have a kitchen that you can grab things from to eat in your casita. Also works well, once you figure it out!!

Beautiful location. Attentive staff. Rustic but very upscale facilities. Only 1 night so didn't use all of them. It's a ranch.

Quality of Bed linens didn't match everything else. Rustic but upscale. EXCEPT THE BEDDING.

Absolutely great place to stay! It's based on the farm so you can stroll around and communicate with wonderful friendly goats, lamas, horses etc. The suits are super new, clean and equipped with everything necessary. Great kitchenette, very nice view. The breakfast was also very good, special thanks for wonderful coffee machine. Overall, a great place!

Really nothing you can dislike about this place!

Very nice property and very clean but too expensive. The breakfast was help yourself to cold and microwave foods. There was no tv service except streaming.

For this price there should have been a better breakfast and full service tv.
