Built in 1872

The year is 1872, in the Heart of the Wild West. The Outlaws Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, and Billy the Kid are on the plains as the historic Ephraim City Jail is completed: crafted with the same oolite limestone that was used in the construction of the Manti Temple. An aged Sanpete barnwood door creaks slowly open, revealing the modern-day prisoner incarcerated behind it: an AirBnB guest, here to interact with the past. No bail needed- they've arrived to this place of their own volition, laying their head down to rest each night in one of the last standing original Wild West jails. Indeed, those 150-year-old bars on the windows are of little consequence when you can freely roam your personal backyard pergola and covered patio, a local coffee caf, the city rec center, and the prized Snow College. A steep, winding, black metal staircase in the center connects the Warden's Loft up top, to the Living Hall and Kitchen with a bedroom on the main floor, down to the prisoner cells and parlor of the basement. Authentic and rare historical artifacts have been placed throughout for a museum-esque experience: tributes to Utah's frontier days, together with memorabilia of that Wild West jail era. The Historic Ephraim City Jail was carefully restored in such a way that preserved and built upon its remarkable beginnings. So begin your Southwestern dream life by making it your home, or take advantage of this turn-key business opportunity to host visitors from near and far.
