A very quiet, beautiful location, perfect for two - or just one. From the Casita you can take short hikes right out the door. Kanab Utah is located in southern Utah with St. George being the largest city only 90 miles away. Las Vegas, Nevada is just over a three hour drive from Kanab. Kanab is a small town that is centrally located and has many things to do and see. Enjoy year round mild weather in a unspoiled nature lover's paradise.
This lovely Casita is separated from a larger custom southwest style home. It is bigger than a hotel room and has lots more charm! There are chairs outside your front door to sit and enjoy the evening breezes, or watch the sunlight on the red mountains. The kitchenette includes a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, hot plate, and coffee maker, as well as an assortment of dishes and utensils, and should take care of your cooking needs. There is a utility sink just a few steps away for you to use to wash dishes - or dirty boots from hiking. We've just added free wifi internet service, so bring your laptop if you absolutely need to stay connected! Plenty of privacy and an extraordinary backyard for guests' enjoyment, yet you are just a 5 minute drive from the town of Kanab for grocery shopping, restaurants, etc. The Casita's yard is not fenced - but feel free to bring your dogs/cats (or invite a new doggie friend for a sleepover from Best Friends) for a small additional charge of $10 per day.
Situated near some of the most beautiful and interesting National Parks and Monuments in the United States including: Zion, Bryce, Cedar Breaks National Monument, Lake Powell, Pipe Spring National Monument, Kodachrome Basin, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument ("the wave") and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Kanab is also home to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the largest no kill Animal Sanctuary in the country and site of National Geographic DOG TOWN series. You can volunteer at Best Friends for a day or a week (or longer!) or just take a tour for a couple of hours. Whatever you decide to do, you'll enjoy Kanab and the comfy Casita for Two as your home base.

Why the Owner Chose Kanab
Kanab, Utah enjoys all four seasons with none of them being extreme. My favorites are spring and summer. But as they say in Utah, wait a minute and the weather changes.

My wife and I have been coming to Kanab since 2005 to volunteer at Best Friends. This was our first time not staying on Best Friends' property. Let me start by saying the photos on this site do not do the Casita for Two justice. The studio is warm, inviting, and has amazing views. It is perfect for two and a furry friend. During the day, the view from the drive way looking out over the valley is awesome. At night, you can sit outside and stare up at the Milky Way for hours. It is in a very quite, out of the way area on the west side of Kanab. That's interesting since Kanab as a whole can be described the same way. The comfort of the Casita is amazing. You are on vacation. You go to Best Friends, you go to Zion (which is not as far as I thought it was), you go out to dinner... And you come back to a place that reminds you that you are vacation, but feels as comfortable as a home. You won't want to leave... I know we didn't...
Owner response:We are so glad you enjoyed the Casita for Two. It's true, the Utah skies are some of the clearest - you can see the milky way most nights. Thanks for taking a chance and staying with us... we hope you'll be back!

We stayed at the Casita for 3 nights while visiting the sights in the Kanab area. It was very cozy and quaint. The views out the door were beautiful. We enjoyed sitting out in the mornings and evenings, enjoying the beauty and solitude. The area was very quiet, yet only minutes from town, and was a very comfortable place to return to after a day of sightseeing. I would recommend this place to anyone. We very much enjoyed the Rocking V restaurant in Kanab.

Great find! We would definitely stay there again.

Our stay at the casita was great. It felt like home. It was so much nicer than staying in a motel. After a long day of volunteering at Best Friends, it was sure nice to drive away from town to a quiet oasis. We were very comfortable there. Deborah & Nick thought of everything that would make their "guests" feel at home. Sitting out on the patio in the evening was fabulous, the sound of the waterfall, the smell of the butterfly bushes and lavender, the stars. In the mornings, the views of the mountains were beautiful. It takes about 10 minutes longer to get to Best Friends, but it's worth the extra time. It's very convenient to town. The grocery & restaurants are only a few minutes away. If you're looking for a quiet, comfortable place to stay, this is it. P.S. Our sleepover dogs liked it a lot too. There's even a dog bed and blankets there for your furry friends.

The casita for two was perfect for my stay during a class that I took at The Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. The property was clean, well maintained, and perfect for my needs. The photos clearly reflect the charm of the casita; actually the high ceilings make the casita feel more roomy than the photos show. I was very please with my stay and will book here again in the future.

My daughter and I came down to volunteer at Best Friends and stayed here. What a fantastic place! Beautiful inside and out. Deborah and Nick were truly nice people. I would definitely stay here again! Much better than a hotel. Having to go to the garage to use the sink was no big deal. Would highly recommend staying here....thanks for everything!

Jennifer & I had a wonderful stay at the Casita For Two back in June. Ideal location for day trips to Antelope Canyon, North Rim and Zion. We loved the efficiency apartment. Very quaint, very clean and nice touch with the cookies waiting for us! :) We would like to stay there again next June when we return to the area if at all possible.

My sister and I stayed for a week in the Casita for Two. It was exactly what we were looking for. Beautiful views and trails right out the door. We volunteered at Best Friends and visited Zion National Park and Coral Pink Sand Dunes. The casita is very spacious, comfortable bed, clean and nicely decorated. It is next to the owners house but still extremely private. Nick and Deborah (the owners) are very nice and there if you have any questions, but never intrusive. We only saw them twice. It's in a quiet neighbor hood, but only 5 minutes from downtown and 10 minutes to Best Friends. We loved it and would definately stay again. It would have been nice to have a sink in the kitchen, but the utility sink in the garage area is very close. We cooked very little due to volunteering and site seeing. But town is very close and meals very reasonably priced. We had Best Friends kitty sleepover for 2 nights which was great. If you're looking for a quiet spacious and beautiful place, this is the place for you. You also get free wifi which worked all the time. There were also fresh baked cookies waiting for us when we arrived. YUM! Thanks for everything Nick & Deborah. Your place is a little piece of heaven!

The Casita for Two is one of two places I stayed during my internship at Best Friends, and I would recommend it to EVERYONE! I walked in to fresh baked cookies, a clean, spacious room, and a gorgeous view! It was accessible to Best Friends, Zion, Bryce, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, etc. It's secluded but close to downtown, and there are wonderful hiking trails out your backyard! Great places for sleepover animals from Best Friends, because the dogs love the walks/hikes out the backyard. I would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the Casita while visting and volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. It was also convenient to our trips to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. The views and hiking out the back door were amazing, and we were graced with a young mule deer coming by to say hello one evening right out the window facing the mesa. We could not have been happier with the Casita - for -two it was so peaceful and quiet, and definitely recommend it highly to everyone. We have wonderful memories of our "home away from home" and look forward to coming back at our earliest opportunity! Wonderful hosts and a great private place to stay!

My boyfriend and I traveled to Kanab and volunteered at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary for a few days, hiked at Zion a few days and spent plenty of down time at the casita. Even hiked right out the back door! It was wonderful and decorated so cute. Really quiet and secluded. We were so glad that we chose to stay here and not a place where we were surrounded by so many people. We even brought a dog for a sleepover, so nice that it was pet friendly! The restaurants downtown were really good and we would definitely consider staying here again. Especially for the price. We felt it was really reasonable. Thank you so much for the care and detail put into this place...and the cookies that were waiting for us upon arrival :0) nice touch.
