History of cabin

Sharon Vetterli gives a wave of good cheer.

Manti Duo Save Fayette Cabin

Colleen Hess (left) and Sharon Vetterli took apart this cabin which was originally located on the Olsen homestead (490 S Main where the garage now stands) in Fayette located five miles west of Gunnison. The owner was going to have the cabin demolished. According to a Deseret News article, the two women used crowbars, sledge-hammers, a nail puller, and lots of rope. After lowering heavy logs to the ground with rope, they loaded four or five of them at a time on a trailer and headed for Manti. Sharon's husband, Gary, added a back room and loft. Gary and Sharon also did most of the rehabilitation of the stone home; they owned the property from 1993 to 2003.
