Torrey Schoolhouse B&B

Top choice in Southwestern Utah


Ty Markham has done an exquisite job of bringing this rambling 1914 schoolhouse back to life as a B&B. Antiques and country elegance contrast with the fascinating black-and-white photos of classes starting from a century back. After a full gourmet breakfast you might need to laze in the garden a while before hiking.
