Keywords: Ranch House
This is a beautiful vacation ranch home with a rustic country atmosphere. Located as a central hub for visiting numerous national parks like Zion, Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Coral Pink Sand dunes, and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Kanab is also home to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary; the world's largest animal sanctuary.
The house is located within walking distance to downtown Kanab, yet the property borders National Public Land—our back yard is the beautiful Vermillian Cliffs. This two-story ranch house features three bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms, living and dining room, full size kitchen with breakfast bar. There is a wood-burning stove and central heating, evaporative cooling downstairs and air conditioner units in each upstairs bedroom in the summer , pine wood interior, with a spacious wooden deck for relaxing or entertaining. All of the necessities for family living are included in the furnishings: a complete kitchen, two queen size beds and a single bed upstairs, a luxury king size bed in the downstairs master bedroom, satellite TV, wireless internet, telephone and sleeps 7 people. The home is quiet, secluded and a convenient walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. Other vacation rental properties in the area simply don't measure up to what you will experience at our property. This is truly a unique place and undeniably just about the nicest piece of property in Kanab. With the Vermillian cliffs as a backdrop, our guests never want to leave the spacious deck, private location, and comment that the house is truly a breath of fresh air.

Why the Owner Chose Kanab
This is the perfect location. There is so much beauty to see and the small town atmosphere is quiet and peaceful. Our Backyard is part of the beautiful Vermillian cliffs and there is no better place to ride horses or hike.
The Unique Benefits at this House
From our house you can easily walk into downtown Kanab yet you feel like you are living in the country. From our property you can hike the cliffs, the golf course is in walking distance and we have only two neighbors which are secluded from view. Kanab is a western themed small town that is famous for all the western movies and TV shows that were filmed here-It has been nick-named "Little Hollywood". Six famous national parks are within one and half hour drive from our house. The location is perfect and the scenery is spectacular.
There is a beautiful newly designed City Park and swimming pool. Fun for children with a small water park and river pool with a current. Tennis courts, playground and baseball fields.
This is a lovely trail just minutes from our house. It is and intermediate trail that climbs the cliff to overlook the town. It has fabulous views and can be done in an hour.
Presently 9 hole course and is being expanded to 18 holes. You can easily walk along the base of the cliffs to the golf course in just a few minutes.
This trail was recently put in and I have not hiked it. It goes right behind the house along the cliffs from Toms Canyon to Piu Canyon I believe
Visit the worlds largest animal sanctuary. Volunteer or take a tour
Owner's Map of Kanab
This is my dream horse ranch and we plan to return some day but for now, my family and I have sold the horses and moved to Europe. We plan to come back to Kanab to retire and enjoy hiking and exploring Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, Lake Powell, Las Vegas, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Coral Pink Sandunes, and the list goes on and on. You can't find a better place to vacation, but for now we are educating our teenage son by traveling the world and seeing as much as possible. We hope you will enjoy seeing the southwest using our home as a base to travel from. Happy vacationing and explore everything you can!

Thanksgiving at the Red Horse Ranch

Date of Stay: 11/23/11
Review Submitted: 12/14/11
I can't express how wonderful our Thanksgiving was at the Red Horse Ranch. The kids and dogs ran wild. We enjoyed tons of quiet time and the house had everything I needed to cook a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. The house was clean and well put together and in the quietest of areas. We hope to return again in the spring! Thank you so much renting your lovely home to us.
Owner response:Yes! Red Horse Ranch gives you a feeling of freedom, tranquility and comfort. We look forward to repeat renters. Thank you. Carla

We just returned from a four night stay at the Red Horse Ranch and our family of four plus dog had a wonderful time! Carla's home is incredible, set right at the base of the vermilion cliff with the "K" for Kanab. We hiked up to the sign twice while enjoying everything the ran had to offer (comfortable beds, deck for grilling, star gazing, view of the valley and sunsets, stables, etc). The surroundig area is tough to beat - we drove to Bryce Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, volunteered at Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary, visited Zion and went on a guided tour to a slot canyon, Native American site and saw dinosaur tracks (tour provider is Dreamland Safari and the owner, Will, is a great guy!). We ate at the Rocking V three nights, go there! The cherry on top was spending the Fourth with the family in Kanab. You simply cannot beat Carla's view of the firework show. Walk up a little way on her hill and there is a nice concrete landing to set up your chairs. Take a seat and enjoy! The town spends a lot of money on the fireworks, the show is amazing, and the backdrop of the vermilion cliffs makes for an unforgettable experience. Thanks again Carla for opening your home to us, we loved our trip!
Owner response:What a great review of your stay, you can really get a lot accomplished in four nights. I have always thought that Kanab has the best fire works show around and our house is the best seat you can find to watch it!

Red Horse Relaxation

We spent 6 days in Kanab at Red Horse Ranch and it really could not have been better. My Aussie friends loved the spectacular scenery we could see during the day - Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon - and then we all relaxed at the Ranch. The house was clean, and everything worked perfectly. The photos were a very accurate depiction of the property. Carla answered all of my questions promptly and made useful suggestions about routes and sightseeing possibilities.I would highly recommend this property.

We loved staying at Red Horse Ranch; it was such a lovely home and very comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the property and climbing the hill behind the house. We volunteered at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and were pleasantly surprised by the convenient, yet private, location of the home. The setting is beautiful!

We spent the last 4 days at red Horse Ranch. Beautiful home, spectacular views and near everything!!!! Carla and her team made sure everything was ready for us when we arrived. The house was already warm by the time we rolled in at night This was a really nice touch as it was 17 degrees F when we arrived. Lots of space, quiet, cozy. Thanks again for sharing your home, Carla. We plan on returning in the fall. Caroline and Marlene

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Red Horse Ranch, and were thankful for how the house was cleaned and prepared by Pam for the arrival of our party which included one toddler. The house itself was almost too comfortable and with its pretty views we ended up taking our time before heading out each day to Zion/Bryce/Paria/Grand canyons as well as Coral Sands Park and jaunts around Kanab. Thanks of course to Carla for making her home available, as well as for so quickly responding to all questions we had before booking and traveling. We made good use of the kitchen and had no trouble finding groceries locally. The location was better for us than Springdale would have been as traveling longer distances each day with an infant is not fun for anyone, and we ran out of time to go to all that we hoped to see in the area, especially The Wave in the Paria area. There was a lot of space for indoor and outdoor relaxing in the house, and we will be recommending the house and surrounding attractions for family and friends and fellow strangers on the interwebs.

Great Experience at Red Horse Ranch, Kanab (October 2010)

Review Submitted: 10/10/10
My friend and I just returned from 3 nights at Red Horse Ranch. Our stay was part of a girlfriend's trip and the location could not have been more perfect. We explored Zion and Lake Powell primarily, as our trip was short. For the past 5+ years I've been renting property on vrbo.com and this experience was absolutely ideal: Inquiry & Booking: The owner was fantastic about fast response via email, flexibility, clear communication, and easy payment, plus a simple contract and invoice. I felt very secure throughout the process. Arrival: The owner provided directions, access/entrance to the property was easy, and the property manager was always available for questions. The house was absolutely tidy, with plenty of linens left out for our arrival. The kitchen is well stocked and organized with everything you need to cook. Wifi worked great and was absolutely helpful. There is a guidebook with tips on activities, meals, etc., as well as a plentiful stash of maps and attraction brochures. Property: The three bedrooms are simple, neat and wonderfully quiet--so relaxing! Bathrooms are well appointed and the showers are nice and hot with great water pressure; just perfect after a day of hiking. There's a big tub in the master bath, if you prefer a soak after a long day. Be sure to enjoy the beautiful views from the deck. Even on a cool night, it was a pleasure to relax with a glass of wine and write postcards to friends and family. And the night sky is amazing! The walk to town really is easy, and a nice way to experience Kanab. A (sometimes high maintenance) New Yorker, I found great coffee at Laid Back Larry's and at Linda Lea's (they open at 7 if you don't feel like making coffee/breakfast), and I also loved our dinner at Rocking V (we went back twice!) The only regret is that we didn't have more time! Red Horse Ranch was a lovely stay and I would definitely recommend it. Thank you to Carla and family for sharing your wonderful home!

We have rented quite a number of vacation homes. Without a doubt Red-Horse Ranch is in the top two. The house was very clean and well equipped upon our arrival. The beds are just like at home. The blanket in the master bedroom reminded me of my grandmother's house. We met Pam, the caretaker. She is very helpful and answered our questions. Carla you must keep this woman at all expense. We visited all the usual places. Believe it or not there was a big weather system while we were there. The desert is still very interesting and beautiful even in the rain. I would highly recommend this house for your Southwest vacation retreat. Everything mentioned in the description is correct.

We travelled from Phoenix with 3 families and had the best stay our lives in Red Horse Ranch. From the moment we reached we knew it was going to be special. We barbecued, drank and had a great time in the evenings. The ranch was clean, well maintained and was spacious enough for 3 families. The kids had a blast as well. We visited Zion and Bryce Canyons during daytime and on both days were looking forward to come back to the ranch in teh evenings and to have a great time. Although we did not visit any restaurants we can certainly vouch that the ranch is at walking distance from anywhere you want to go in Kanab for a good meal. If we ever decide to visit Utah again, we will have no hesitation to relive the nostalgia by visiting Red Horse ranch one more time. Thanks for the happy memories.
