The Inn is beautiful, the Innkeepers are wonderful hosts, the 120 million old rocks are spectacular, but the highlight of the trip for us is sharing of insights and laughter with newly made friends.

Hertha & Robert,

After staying at the Castle Valley Inn for the last 15 years, we have never been disappointed with the comfort, quiet, & of course, the hospitality we've been shown.  We never tire of coming to Moab & resting in our favorite place.  Though our bodies may have slowed a bit from numerous slickrock "beating" & age is creeping up, the spirit of youth & vitality still resides within us.  Thank you for your kindness, your companionship, & for making us feel at home.

Have really enjoyed our stay last night - very relaxing and a great family-run feel.  Also, wonderful to be helped out with a meal & escort (so we didn't get lost again!)  Too short a stay & would love to return for a bit longer sometime.

Show me a place with majestic red rocks
a place away from noise and clocks

Show me a place where a mighty river flows
a place with a fireplace to warm up your toes

Show me a place of great natural beauty
a place where love and hospitality are on duty

Show me a place that raises spirits to a high mood
a place where body and soul are filled with good food

Show me a place I'll want to return to again
and I'll show you a place called "the Castle Valley Inn"

Coming to Castle Valley Inn is like coming home. Yes, this is a homecoming where conversation and a shared meal provide the nourishment I have been seeking. Thank you. thank you for your warmth.

The genuine home-away from home atmosphere here has been a welcome (and unexpected) bonus. Many thanks to you both, Hertha & Robert, for that and for all the individual little touches that add up to my sense of this Inn as a place well worth returning to - and I hope I will.

A long trip from England, but well worth it - The canyons are truly a life altering expense, and combined with the beauty and hospitality of Castle Valley Inn, we have had an unforgettable visit. Thank you, Robert for your help an the LaSal Loop Road!

By chance we found this glorious area and tried our luck! Would there be space for 2 wondering females? Miracle? No! My luck in life! Viola! What a place. Every single item is special to make a stay pleasant, a learning experience very relaxing and the hospitality the best. Than you for allowing a full run of the house.

(except the kitchen-hurray-cooking isn't my thing) The recreation room and videos- super. Cherries off the tree - delicious! What more can be said about this surprise package!

Food - Tops!

Thank you, Hertha & Robert, I wish we didn't have to stamp & go'!! It's been too short...If you manage to get away to Jamaica, some typical places to stay in Port Antonio are 'Belle View' (overlooking the tiny town) or the DeMontevyn Hotel' (very ethnic & right in the center of town)

Hertha and Robert,

We have enjoyed your canyons and your hospitality very much. Thanks for the many tips to enjoy the area. We wish we had more time to visit, we would like to know more about your season here. How is the winter to visit? Can't get enough of the views.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1-night stay here and wish it could have been longer. The next time we return to Utah, we'll be back here. The accommodations were so perfect, we got the feel of the area without even seeing the parks. The stars at night were incredible, especially from the hot tub. Never have we seen so many. Thanks for your wonderful hospitality - such a pleasure. It is this we will remember when we think of our first trip to Utah. What an experience. We've seen it in books but being here is so much more meaningful. First taste of Utah was a great one.

7/1/98

Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. I slept so soundly. The view of Castle Rock is spectacular. I love this area and if we ever have a chance to make it back to Utah we plan on staying here! We'll let you know about the Bryce Bed and Breakfast. Thanks! PS your website is great!

Beautiful area: delicious food at the B&B and in town. Arches is great! And coming back to the hot tub to relieve aching feet, legs and back is wonderful! Fruit is juicy and tasty - great for when you get back from the mesa climbs.

We have stayed in many places in various countries, but none has come up to the exceptionally high standards of the Castle Valley Inn. It is not only the friendliness & efficiency of Robert and Hertha, but also the extraordinary combination of beautiful scenery and total peace in the Valley. The trouble is that it is unlikely we find anything that comes up to the sheer joy of staying here. We certainly intend to come back if we can.
