Mountain Home is an unincorporated community in central Duchesne County, Utah, United States, adjacent to the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation.
The community lies along local roads north of State Route 87, north of the city of Duchesne, the county seat of Duchesne County.[2] Its elevation is above sea level. Originally settled in 1905 as part of the Moon Lake Ward of the LDS Church, Mountain Home is situated in a fertile valley primarily used for raising range cattle. [3]
Known as the "Gateway to the High Uintas", the community is home to notable old families, including the Farnsworths, Thaynes and the Mileses. Popular attractions include the Rock Creek Store and Bed and Breakfast, as well as the 7-11 Ranch. The Rock Creek Store and Bed & Breakfast is the original building that once housed the Moon Lake First Ward church. Mountain Home is also the birthplace of Evan Mecham, who served as Governor of Arizona.
