countressrascal Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Will Jessop purchased Warren's old house AKA compound and now has opened as a Bed and Breakfast. Planning a vacation to Zion National Park you can book a room in Warren's old house rate $85-200 per night, cable TV, WIFI, A/C, private bathroom, spa and exercise room. If you go for the $200 per night you get to stay in his suite that also has a private kitchen. He is also talking about starting a museum on the compound. Will has been excommunicated.

Rescinded and Mended Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Wow, so I can book my very own room and sleep in a bed located in a house where rape occured between Warren Jeffs and the many girls and women he coerced into marriage? Yeah, I think I'll pass. :ew: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countressrascal Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 I need to correct something-Warren's private house is where Will is planning to put the museum, however right now he is using it to help out people in the community that need a place to stay. B&B is in the structure where all his wives and children lived. I am trying to get a tour of the compound if I do I will return and report.

RosyDaisy Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I would rather sleep in the woods than a hose that Warren Jeff's lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoyle90815 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I was creeped out just driving through Colorado City/Hilldale, so I think I'll pass on staying at the house where those rapes occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artdecades Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Is this the house he lived in or the one his followers built after he was arrested? I have to say, I did not follow this story at all when it happened, but a few days ago I was on tumblr and found a blog dedicated to the FLDS hair styles and I have been reading and watching everything I can find on this group.

Please do, I'd be most interested in hearing about the compound. In all the books I've ever read about the FLDS, I've never quite been able to grasp the layout of the place. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorchah Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm tempted to go there and have gay/premarital sex and then write Warren a letter with juicy details. :wink-kitty: Not gonna risk the nightmares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nokidsmom Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was creeped out just driving through Colorado City/Hilldale, so I think I'll pass on staying at the house where those rapes occurred. Mr. No and I passed through Colorado City/Hilldale on our last vacation out west (2008) and it was like a ghost town. We had considered stopping but thought better of it when we got there as it just seemed rather eerie. I don't know how to describe it other than you didn't see the usual activity like at stores / gas stations / homes. Like people were hiding but it was around the time followingJeff's trials and the YFZ raid so that would be somewhat understandable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstee Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The town is so isolated I can't imagine wanting to stay overnight there. They don't really have gas stations or grocery stores. I've been through the area many times and the closest town is Hurricane, Utah. The town is surrounded by all desert and mountains. Beautiful place. But not a place with great access to anything. Even Zion is a bit of a drive. And the town itself isn't the picture of friendly. Every time I drove through I got stares and that was from the few people actually walking on the streets. Otherwise it did feel like a ghost town. Tons of unfinished houses and barely any people outside. I guess the only appeal of the B&B is the Jeffs connection and yeah- that's a little weird. Though a museum might be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGayle Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The only way to save that place is to do good with it, like converting it into housing for homeless people instead of trying to bank on it as a tourist attraction for people who get off thinking about child-rape.

Though a museum might be interesting. The remoteness aside, the area is indeed beautiful. If it were a normal town, normal meaning as in the usual stores (grocery, gas stations, restaurants, etc.) with the associated activity plus not being FLDS (or at least not being suspicious of outsiders), that place would could actually have a decent amount of business going with travelers / tourists passing through the area. Maybe that's what they are trying to do here and decided to try to capitalize on the Jeffs association. It's still a creepy idea but there might be some takers.
