Staying a night or two in Helper's historic buildings is one of the highlights of a trip to Utah's newest vacation spot.
- It's truly like going back in time.
I stayed in the Key Suites vacation rental, formerly KeyBank. It's one of several buildings beautifully rehabilitated by Gary and Malarie DeVincent.
- The couple is also behind rentals at the historic Sinclair station and the Lincoln Hotel.
- See Gary's collection of antique motorcycles at the Vintage Motor Company and Corvettes-in-progress in the working garage next door.
Details: The rooms are appointed with extreme care — and they're affordable — mostly $80 to $100 per night, with about $60 to $75 in fees.
What's next: Malarie, who grew up in Carbon County, says the family is renovating the old Newhouse Hotel with hopes of opening in 2024.
