Built in the 1920s, this Historic home in charming downtown Hurricane Utah is just a short drive to Zion National Park. This unit offers a glimpse of a by-gone era of early struggles and adventure. This home has been updated into a modern vacation home experience. This unit is the old 'attic' and features a cozy queen bed, a kitchenette & 3/4 bath plus a living room with futon sofa. (Photos updated May 2024) Tastefully updated and decorated to help you enjoy your stay. Where this home was build and modified over time, it does share the heating and cooling system with the lower unit. As such we have also added a stand alone AC unit and portable heaters so you can control your climate. At the back of the building, common area, is a large covered patio with BBQ, picnic table and hot tub (shared with the downstairs guest )
Due to its age, there are unique characteristics that one should be mindful of - first is the home was built when electricity was considered a luxury and was not common in So. Utah. This home was also designed and built before the concept of indoor plumbing. Modifications to add outlets, adjust walls for a modern bathroom working with the building materials and construction techniques of that era do make for some challenges. The homes location on the lot also is unique in that it is not set back from the road by 20-25 feet. The home has never moved, but as the community grew and needs of modern transportation changed, the roads have encroached on it. But this is the charm and experience this property offers.
This home has its roots in early polygamy history of the area as well as a farmhouse and early 'garage' for model A's and T's as the automobile made its way west. As the city and area grew its been a retail store front on the highway on your way to Zion National Park. Its last commercial venture was as an old army surplus and camping gear and outfitter shop. In recent history before the current owners bought it this property was painted a bright yellow and blue and was known as the 'sunshine' home. Today we've updated it as best we can without compromising its character. We added a fire suppression system and integrated smoke detection systems, we've added a modern laundry facility and a shared hot tub to relax in after hiking or biking.
The bedroom has a comfy queen bed and sleeps 1-2 persons.
In the living room is the kitchenette and a futon sofa bed. It is a full size but we suggest that it only sleeps 1 person.
There is no door dividing the two areas.
Common Space
The property has a separate 2 bedroom suite below (rented separately) that shares common area space. In this space is the laundry facility as well as the hot tub deck and bbq grill/picnic table. The units main Heating/Cooling is controlled by the lower unit. Therefore we have provided the fireplace (Elec. Heater) and a separate AC unit in addition so you can control your climate. You may need to open or close floor vents accordingly.
IMPORTANT NOTES & ADVISORY:
This unit you are looking at is part of a DUPLEX concept and is located in a micro-resort known as Pass Port Village. The resort currently consists of 2 separate duplex type buildings. Located in the front is a pioneer home, consisting of 2 units. The lower unit is the Roost, and the upper is The Attic (Your Unit). The Attic has low ceilings. IF you are a tall person, you may notice it more. Short people love it! Each unit is 100% private from the other. Seperate entrances, private bathrooms etc. The second building, located to the rear is a new duplex, with ample parking between the buildings. The lower unit is the On the Rocks listing and the upper unit is known as the Silver Reef listing. We are starting a project to the south, where a shared community pool and 2 additional duplex units will be built as well as a restoration on an existing building into a pool house.
