Group of eleven adults spent the weekend here for a church retreat. You walk in the door and instantly feel at home. The accomodations were great, everyone had plenty of space. The chairs in the living areas, and the beds are so comfy. We took advantage of the fire pit in the back and full supply of firewood. Vern and Dottie are great and very accomodating. The great bonus about this place are the trails surrounding the home. Such incredible country to explore. We followed a couple of the quad trails on foot and had a blast. The only thing we were short on was daylight. The location was perfect, just a short drive into Zion and about a mile from a small town to grab any extra supplies and food. Yet it feels as you're in a very remote setting.

With family spread between California/Utah/Texas we were looking for a place to escape from it all and enjoy time with family. With 6 adults and 4 kids the house was perfect! The surroundings were breathtaking and the location ideal for somebody looking to enjoy the beauty of the Southwest. Enjoying a glass of wine on the expansive deck, roasting marshmallows by the fire ring or hiking the trails surrounding the area you can't go wrong. Vern and Dotti were more than accommodating, checking in with us to make sure everything was to our liking. Thank you for a great place for our family to reconnect, we all look forward to visiting again!

Family Christmas

This was our gift to our children to be able to spend a few days together for Christmas. Everything was absolutely perfect. There aren't words to describe how beautiful this cabin is with all the extras to make this a wonderful memory for all of us. The cabin was even decorated for Christmas which was a very exciting surprise. The owners of this cabin are precious and even came by to say hi and see if we needed anything. All 14 of us would highly recomment this cabin to anyone wanting to stay near Zion. Thanks Vern for a great week end wish we could have stayed longer! We will be back! Glenn & Terry and Family

This wonderful house and it's stunning setting was the site of our most unforgettable family reunion

When looking for a site for a reunion with our 3 children, their spouses and our grandchildren we were thrilled to find this wonderful house in such an incomparable location! There were 12 in our party and all were very comfortable. We flew into Las Vegas from Pennsylvania, Washington, DC and Seattle and made the scenic drive through Zion to Vern and Dottie's wonderful property. When our children were very young we took them on the same trip which they all remembered fondly so we were all looking forward to returning to such a beautiful part of our country. Our oldest child is now 43 so needless to say this beautiful house did not exist then. We all loved our stay and while we were toasting marshmallows and watching the magnificent display of stars and the milky way our daughter-in-law summed up all our feelings when she remarked she would come back here again to this exact place in a heartbeat! Our grandkids loved exploring the property looking for geodes, toasting marshmallows and telling stories around the fire, playing in the creek and by the pond, and a great atv ride Vern led us on to a slot canyon. Some of us went horseback riding for the first time. My daughter and daughter-in-law enjoyed shopping for Indian jewelry at the nearby Shell station with a gas purchase discount! We all enjoyed hiking in Zion and Bryce, my husband and I took our youngest grandchildren to Cedar Breaks while our other children and grandchildren hiked in Kodachrome Basin and Red Rock Canyon and we all continued on to the north rim of the Grand Canyon after leaving the house. We cooked many of our meals at the house but had some great dinners at places Vern recommended nearby. Vern and Dottie are wonderful people and we are so glad to have met them! We'll never forget that wonderful trip he led us on. Our first time on atv vehicles . We hope to return again in the future. It will be very hard to top this place for a reunion site!

Perfwct private retreat

Date of Stay: 08/07/11 Review Submitted: 08/16/11

This was the best house i have ever rented! Four couples left the crowds and bright lights of Vegas and wanted to see real beauty. Privacy unlimited, but still close to everything. We saw Zion, Bryce, and the Grand One. The house is beautiful, so much so that we all wanted to take it with us. Five very spacious bedrooms and enough living areas for a large crowds, but the best were the decks with wonderful views. Please add a hair dryer, did not think to bring one since hotels have one and had to do without. Best place ever!!!!!!!!

Owner response:Thanks for the review...we have added the hair dryer.

Five Star Lodgings!

We hosted my husbands family reunion at this wonderful property. We had 8 adults and 5 children (ages 5-15) There was plenty of room for all with the kids camping out in the family room. The bedrooms were large and well furnished. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of storage for the bounty of food we brought and anything forgotten was picked up at the local store or in Springdale. Though a larger dining table would be nice, we were able to seat the adults inside and the kids out on the porch for meals. During our week at Quarter Circle H we made day trips to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Grand Canyon National Parks as well as Coral Pink Dunes State Park. With so many amazing landmarks so close, we had plenty to do and with our fabulous base camp we could split up during the day and meet back at the ranch for an evening of family activities. We hiked the property and enjoyed the suspension bridge and island at the pond. We had a fun campfire and roasted brats and marshmallows in the fire pit. Our guests from Germany and Missouri were very pleased with our lodgings. Thanks for the vacation experience of a lifetime!

Fabulous Home

We rented this wonderful home for a week, the pictures don't do it justice. The rooms are spacious, comfortably furnished and well maintained. We had several families come together here and it worked out perfectly, we spent our days traveling the area seeing all the beauty southern Utah and northern Arizona have to offer. We visited Bryce Canyon, Zion, the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Glen Canyon, Lake Powell, the Coral Pink Sand Dunes and Antelope Canyon ( a must see ) and many more places. Then we spent a couple evenings around the fire pit. There is a small but efficient grocery store just a short distance away and also a nice family restaurant. We fixed most of our meals in the house but did eat in nearby Kanab a couple times. Overall it was a fantastic experience and having this beautiful home to come back to each evening made it so pleasant and relaxing.

Superb rental

We stayed here for a week visiting from the UK. I have rented through VRBO for a number of years and have never been disappointed, but this is one of the best. I completely agree with all the other comments here and my family generated a similar reaction when they saw inside. It was great grilling on the deck and no mosquitos (unlike Yellowstone!). The property is well located for the parks and Vern was very helpful (just make sure he knows which time zone you live in if he calls!). Overall, as good as it gets!
