Finding a vacation home that accommodates your entire extended family under one roof is harder than it sounds. Most rentals top out at eight to ten guests, forcing grandparents, adult children, and grandchildren to split across multiple properties or miss the shared experience entirely. Multi-generational family gathering places solve this by design: homes with 6-7 bedrooms, bunk rooms for the kids. Double kitchens, multiple living areas, and private outdoor spaces that handle 20 to 35 guests without anyone feeling cramped. Fraxioned builds its portfolio around exactly this need. Offering deeded co-ownership shares in luxury properties purpose-designed for extended families who want to vacation together, not just beside each other.

A true multi-generational home is more than a house with extra bedrooms. It is a property where every generation from toddlers to grandparents has their own space plus shared areas that bring everyone together. The best multi-generational family gathering places include several design features that make large-group vacations work without friction.
Key design features that define multi-generational homes:

Fraxioned's portfolio includes several properties specifically designed to host extended families. Each offers different strengths depending on your family's size, preferred activities, and desired location. Here is how the top options compare for multi-generational family gathering places.
| Property | Location | Bedrooms | Sleeps | Share Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Palm | Desert Color, St. George | 7 beds, 7.5 baths | 28+ guests | $345,000 (1/13) | Beachfront lagoon, private pool |
| Lula Cove | Desert Color, St. George | 7 beds, 7.5 baths | 27+ guests | $280,000 (1/10) | Arcade lounge, four-story retreat |
| Raspberry Retreat | Garden City, Bear Lake | 6 beds, 5 baths | 35+ guests | $225,000 (1/8) | Lakeside, largest capacity |
| Swan Creek | Garden City, Bear Lake | 6 beds, 4 baths | 20+ guests | $139,000 (1/8) | Exclusive model, no rentals |
| Bear Lake Bluffs | Bear Lake area | Multi-family | Large groups | $175,000 (1/8) | Lake views, 5-star reviews |
The Palm at Desert Color stands out for families who want beachfront lagoon access combined with a private pool, hot tub, and game tables. At 5,958 square feet with seven bedrooms and seven and a half baths, it sleeps 28-plus guests in comfort. Lula Cove, just one block from the same lagoon, offers a four-story layout with a basement arcade lounge. Teenagers and young adults love that setup.
Anyone who has traveled with an extended family knows the tension that builds when 15 people share one cramped vacation rental. The most successful multi-generational family gathering places use intentional zoning that gives each generation autonomy.
How effective zoning works in practice:
This separation is not about dividing the family. It is about removing the friction points that cause stress. When grandparents can retreat to a quiet space after dinner and teenagers have their own entertainment zone. The time everyone spends together in the shared areas is genuinely enjoyable rather than exhausting.
Beyond bedrooms and living areas, several specific design choices separate average large rentals from exceptional multi-generational family gathering places. Fraxioned properties incorporate many of these intentionally.
Essential design elements for large family gatherings:

Fraxioned's portfolio concentrates in two distinct Utah regions, each offering a different flavor of multi-generational vacation. The choice between them depends on your family's preferences for activities, climate, and season.
St. George / Desert Color -- The Palm and Lula Cove sit within the master-planned Desert Color community, centered around a 10-acre crystal-clear lagoon with sandy beaches, kayaking, paddleboarding, and water sports. St. George is the fastest-growing metro area in the United States and offers year-round warm weather. World-class golf, Zion National Park 45 minutes away, and the dining and entertainment of a growing city. Best for families who want warm-weather water activities combined with modern resort amenities and proximity to national parks.
Bear Lake / Garden City -- Raspberry Retreat, Swan Creek, and Bear Lake Bluffs surround the stunning turquoise waters of Bear Lake, known as the Caribbean of the Rockies. The area offers boating, fishing, hiking, and winter sports at nearby ski resorts. Garden City has a relaxed, small-town feel with family-friendly restaurants and seasonal events. Best for families who want classic lake vacations, cooler summer temperatures, and a quieter, nature-focused atmosphere.
Both regions sit within a three- to five-hour drive of major Utah, Arizona, Nevada. And Idaho population centers, making them accessible for long weekends as well as full-week stays.
Full ownership of a 6,000-square-foot luxury vacation home with a private pool and lagoon access can easily exceed $2 million. For most families, that is not realistic for a property used only a few weeks per year. Fraxioned's fractional co-ownership model removes this barrier.
Instead of buying the entire home, you purchase a deeded 1/8, 1/10, or 1/13 share. This gives you guaranteed annual usage ranging from 28 to 45-plus nights per year, depending on the share structure. Your share price is a fraction of the total property value. For example, a 1/13 share of The Palm at $345,000 represents about 8 percent of the home's total value, meaning the property is valued well above $4 million. You own real deeded equity that can appreciate over time. You also have the option to sell your share on the open market when you choose.
The Collective model (used by most Fraxioned properties) also allows you to rent your unused nights through Fraxioned's professional management team. Rental income offsets annual operating costs like HOA fees, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Your true cost of ownership is lower than what the share price and annual dues suggest, especially in high-demand destinations where nightly rental rates are strong.
Learn how Fraxioned co-ownership works
Understanding the two ownership models helps families choose the right structure for their needs. Both offer deeded equity and guaranteed usage, but they serve different priorities.
Fraxioned Collective (used by The Palm, Lula Cove, Raspberry Retreat, and Bear Lake Bluffs): Owners can rent unused nights through Fraxioned's professional management team. This model works well for families who will use their home for dedicated vacations but do not need it every available night. The rental income helps offset annual costs, and the property qualifies for 1031 tax-deferred exchanges. This is the right choice for most families who want the financial benefits of offsetting costs.
Fraxioned Exclusive (used by Swan Creek): Owner-only access with no rentals. This model guarantees complete privacy and availability. Your share gives you access to the home when you want it, and no one else stays there outside of co-owner use. This suits families who prioritize absolute privacy and plan to use most or all of their allocated nights each year.
The choice comes down to whether you value rental income potential or exclusive privacy more highly. Fraxioned's team can walk through both options based on your family's plans for the property.
Fraxioned properties range from 4-guest condos up to homes sleeping 35-plus guests. For multi-generational family gatherings, Raspberry Retreat sleeps 35-plus, The Palm sleeps 28-plus, Lula Cove sleeps 27-plus, and Swan Creek sleeps 20-plus. Most properties in the portfolio were chosen specifically for their ability to host extended family groups.
Share owners pay proportional annual dues covering property taxes, insurance, HOA fees, professional management, landscaping, maintenance reserves, and utilities. These vary by property and are clearly disclosed before purchase. Rental income from unused nights offsets a significant portion of these costs under the Collective model.
Fraxioned uses a fair scheduling system that allows owners to reserve their preferred dates. Holiday weeks like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and spring break are allocated through a priority reservation system that ensures all owners get fair access to peak periods. Owners can book as far in advance as needed to secure holiday gatherings. The system is managed through the myFRAX owner portal.
Yes. You own deeded real estate equity, and you can sell your share on the open market at any time. Fraxioned also provides guidance and support for owners looking to exit. Because the property value can appreciate over time, your share may be worth more than you paid.
The myFRAX owner portal provides an online booking calendar where owners reserve their nights. The system handles scheduling requests, confirms availability, and prevents double bookings. For Collective properties, any nights not reserved by owners are made available for rental through Fraxioned's professional management team. This generates income that offsets costs.
The hardest part of planning a multi-generational family vacation is finding a home that actually fits everyone. Fraxioned has built its entire portfolio around solving that problem, with properties designed from the ground up for extended families who want to vacation together. Whether your family prefers the warm desert lagoons of St. George, the turquoise waters of Bear Lake, or the ski-in access of Park City, there is a Fraxioned property designed to become your family's favorite gathering place.

Loved this house! Close to the center of everything but far enough away for privacy and peace and quiet. We loved sitting on the back covered patio in the afternoon/evenings and looking at the great view of the lake and green scapes.
The hot tub was perfect for after an activity filled day.
The place was clean except for one thing and I contacted the company and they took care of it right away and made it right . We loved staying there and would definitely stay there again. Great location . The only thing I didn’t like was there were two air conditioners right outside the master and at night they were noisy while I was falling asleep but once I was asleep
They didn’t bother me .
What an experience!! The ease of driving up and everything was ready for us. Not just a rental experience but the wonderful feeling of owning the property we vacation in. The team at FRAXIONED is so helpful and always available to handle any needs we have, big or small. we own three shares in two different properties and it is one of the best decisions we have made for our family.
This home is no doubt the best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in. The location is perfect and the amenities are outstanding. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area you have to look here. Our group of 12 had plenty of space for golf trip. Easy access to the courses we stayed and we found plenty to do. We would absolutely return to this home in the future.











I honestly thought this place was too good to be true. Until we showed up! Everything was just like the photos, and there was so much to do INSIDE the house, that no one was ever board. We came in for our wedding and had out entire wedding party stay with us. Day of the wedding, i stayed on the 2nd floor playing games the whole time while the bride got ready on the 1st floor (since we couldn't see each other until the ceremony). Everything was neatly laid out and the instruction on how to work the pool/check-in were very clear. This was the best Airbnb i've ever been too, and my friends/family loved everything about it!
What a dream! Ownership with Fraxioned is sensical and hassle-free. We just bring our clothes and get a clean, beautiful home fully ready to dive into our vacation; every time. The rental income has also been very nice to cover the expenses and has been an easy investment to track.
My husband and i had been looking for a good "starter" investment. We wanted to start and airbnb but it was just going to be such a big expense. Fraxioned was the perfect solution, because we were able to purchase 1/8 of a home, instead of the whole thing! Dan Henry sold us a share of a beautiful home in Bear Lake, and he was so nice and easy to work with! He was always available to answer questions and send over information. Definitely would recommend Fraxioned to anyone who is wanting to get into real estate investing, without having to spend your life saving to do it!
