THE IDEAL SPOT: Any pace is a good pace at "The Orchard," situated on a sloping half-acre surrounded by fruit & nut trees, flowers and tranquility. If relaxation is what you seek, this is your place. But if you also want close proximity to world-class mountain biking, road cycling, hiking, climbing, fishing, golf, Tony-award-winning live theater, national parks and other outdoor activities, then "The Orchard" is most certainly the ideal spot for you.
GREAT LOCATION for family getaways and tourists seeking a central base to explore Zion, Bryce, North Rim of the Grand Canyon or Grand Staircase Escalante National Parks. Many state parks and recreation areas are also nearby.
EVERYTHING IS CONVENIENT. Superior location at Hurricane/Laverkin in the heart of Southwestern Utah. Grocery stores, restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, spas, concerts, even the Tony-award-winning Utah Shakespeare Festival and Tuacahn Center for the Performing Arts...all within minutes of "The Orchard."
ESCAPE, RETREAT, UNWIND. Relax on our tree-top deck and take in the mountain views. Listen to the music of songbirds. Stargaze from our deck or lower yard. Soak in our hidden hot tub. Dive into our library of books, games and DVD's. Take a nap. Sleep in. Drop out.
EAT THIS: When in season, feast on the fresh organic fruit & nuts picked exclusively from trees at "The Orchard." Get some groceries, cook up a storm and hang out with friends and family.
REAL FRUIT, REAL NUTS, REAL TREES...REALLY! When the pickin' is ready, you can eat the common and the uncommon including:
- Apricots
- Apples
- Cherries
- Grapes
- Nectarine
- Peaches
- Pear
- Pomegranate
- Persimmon
- Plums
- Mission Figs

(Please note that our fruit & nuts mature at various times of the growing season and, as such, there are periods when nothing is picking. Please contact us if you would like to know more.)
MTB MECCA: Our vicinity is fast becoming a global Mecca for serious mountain biking, rivaling the likes of Moab (and our trails are far more accessible!). "The Orchard" is perfectly situated within minutes of renowned trail systems such as Gooseberry Mesa, Little Creek Mesa and the JEM/Hurricane Rim Trail. For fans of sick downhill twistedness, the Red Bull Rampage happens in Virgin, UT, 10 minutes from "The Orchard." Our area has been repeatedly praised in publications such as National Geographic Adventure, Outdoor, Dirt Rag, Bike, Mountain Bike and Bicycling just to name a few.
WINTER FUN: If Winter activities are your thing, we're 75 minutes from Brian Head Ski Resort where you can downhill, cross-country ski, snowshoe, go tubing or snowmobiling. (And then come back to "The Orchard," change clothes and head out for some biking, hiking, fishing or golf on the same day!)
SLOW DOWN, SPEED UP, OR PUT ON THE BRAKES. It doesn't matter because any pace is a good pace at "The Orchard." Come check it out. And have a ball.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Hi, we are Jane & Robert. We've been coming to Southern Utah regularly since 1996 and we just love it. We've traveled to a huge number of places in the U.S. and overseas and it is hard to find anything as beautiful as this area.
We bought our place in 2005 and have spent a lot of time and effort turning it into a unique, one-of-a-kind getaway in the middle of a peaceful boutique orchard. (As of July 2009, our organic fruit is being served in fine cuisine at the Las Vegas restaurants of Mario Batali, one of the world's great chefs.)
Everyone who has visited The Orchard just loves it and hates leaving. And isn't that the point of vacation, to fall in love with your surroundings?
We go out of our way to ensure that our guests have a terrific experience including little things like providing complimentary jars of exquisite jam made from our organic apricots, figs, plums and other fruit.
Come to Southern Utah. Relax at The Orchard. We're confident you'll love it here as much as we do!

Dear Jane & Robert, Had a great stay at The Orchard. All of the rooms were perfect for our girls weekend. Thanks for all of your suggestions but we didn't leave the house much. Just lots of chatting, game playing and eating. :-) Weather was great and your yard is beautiful. Took some fig leaves for our kids' preschool. :-) Thanks for the stay!

We had fun playing with the different games and watching movies. It was a comfortable house to stay in. It's a nice idea to have an orchard to pick from when the season is right. The kids enjoyed all the book. The Stones
