This Utah Airbnb Has the Most Underrated Fishing Spot

Anglers have it all figured out. I believe they have mastered living on the slower side of life. Understanding the peace and tranquility of spending time on the water is a gift. They unplug, clear their minds, and fully connect with their surroundings. 

Since fishing is a year-round activity in Utah, they will always cast a line at one of the state’s 1,000 fishing lakes and streams. Popular spots like Strawberry Reservoir, Bear Lake, and Panguitch Lake welcome thousands of anglers yearly. And while these are prime locations for casting a line, nothing beats having a private fishing spot to yourself. That’s where Fremont River Oasis in Torrey comes in. With 13 sprawling acres on the banks of a scenic waterway, you can’t ask for a better place to fish, kayak, or wade in the water. Whether you’re a professional or fish for fun, you’ll enjoy this secluded riverfront Airbnb in Utah with its own fishing haven.  

Fremont River Oasis is not your average fishing rental. A recent guest described it as “a slice of heaven,” and I couldn’t agree more. Surrounded by gorgeous red rock cliffs, the views from this spacious home are simply breathtaking. The river that runs directly through the property adds to its beauty. I could imagine myself soaking up this picturesque scene every day.

The four-bedroom stylish retreat has seven comfy beds and sleeps up to 10 people, with enough room for everyone to spread out. If you’re traveling with kids, there is an adorable room with bunk beds and arcade games that would be perfect for them. The spacious house has modern conveniences, a full kitchen, a BBQ grill, and everything you need to prepare meals. Enjoy breakfast and coffee on the covered back patio with views of the glowing desert landscape. Once you take in the vistas, stroll to the Fremont River steps from your doorway.

The serene oasis offers world-class fly fishing and is stocked with rainbow, cutthroat, brown, brook, and tiger trout. Head to the river early in the morning or during sunset. You’ll have a better chance of catching one of those trout when you plan your day accordingly. Bring your fishing supplies and create new lifetime memories with your family. The little ones will have a blast tossing the line with you. Fly fishing is a great activity that gets them away from their screens and allows them to spend time outdoors. Plus, it teaches them patience and how to live in peaceful moments.     

Not only can you fish on the river, but you can also go for a paddle, wade in the water, or enjoy a quiet picnic here. You can’t beat having your own private fishing sanctuary tucked inside the unique red rock landscape of the Beehive State. It’s easy to see why this retreat is one of the top destinations for an escape in Utah. 

After a day on the water, head back to the house for a bite to eat. Your evenings can be spent playing arcade or board games, or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit as you gaze at the night sky. If the night is chilly, light the indoor fireplace and curl up with a book and a warm cup of hot chocolate with gooey marshmallows. For more entertainment, there is Wi-fi, a flatscreen TV, children's toys, and even a piano. There won’t be any dull moments when you stay at this secluded riverfront Airbnb. 

When you’re not fishing or making memories at the house, carve out time to explore the charming town of Torrey. It’s best known for its proximity to Capitol Reef National Park, one of Utah’s underrated national parks. The good news? The Airbnb is just 30 minutes away, so it’s a great base camp if you want to explore the otherworldly rock formations and hiking trails inside the park. The town and the park are designated International Dark Sky destinations, so I’d recommend bringing your binoculars when you visit. 

Need a bite to eat? You will have no issues finding local restaurants in town. The Airbnb host highly recommends La Cueva Restaurante Mexicano and the world-famous Curry Pizza Restaurant. Don’t leave without stopping at Chuck Wagon General Store to pick up local goods and treats. The historic store has been a staple in the community since the early 1970s. And when you’re done exploring the attractions in town, drive back to your riverfront oasis for a peaceful night’s rest.  

If you’re ready for a weekend of world-class fishing, paddling, or stargazing, don’t hesitate to visit the Airbnb listing for Fremont River Oasis in Torrey. This beautiful home with its private, underrated fishing spot could also become your slice of heaven.
