Utah has some pretty unique and quirky vacation rentals if you are desiring a getaway. Some of these are just a bit bizarre and others, have a lot of history within their walls. The Thomas Grocery Airbnb in Sterling is one of these historic rentals. This charming store was built in the 1900s and has since been transformed into a cozy place to spend the night. However, there are still many features throughout the home to remind you of its past, adding even more meaning and delight to this unique Airbnb in Utah.
Sterling is a small town in Sanpete County. Approximately 300 people call it home but many others come for a little adventure. Sterling is the gateway to many incredible outdoor destinations including Palisade State Park and Six Mile Canyon.
Because there is so much to see and do in the area, you need a base camp for your upcoming adventures. Thomas Grocery Airbnb is the perfect option.
This charming store was built in 1943 by Lille Thomas and her husband. Lille spent her childhood growing up in her father’s store, where he had built a 16-foot bar. Today, Lille’s store has been transformed into a cozy vacation rental complete with two bedrooms and one bathroom, comfortably sleeping up to six guests.
As you walk inside, you’ll find the perfect combination of a charming home and a quaint country store. You will notice the original white shelving against the wall…
There are also amenities such as a TV, Wi-Fi, and a dedicated workspace. The home features the original heater and air conditioning unit, so extra blankets are provided if the interior becomes chilly.
One of our favorite areas of this Airbnb in Sterling is the benches in front of the store. Sit back in the mornings and watch adventure seekers drive by or finish out the day by admiring the slower pace of this town. It’s certainly charming here.
