Home away from home

Great place to stay when spending time at Zion National Park. Far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle but still convenient to get to the park in under 20 minutes. Hosts were very nice and helpful with great tips about Zion and the best places to eat in the area. Even let us borrow some water friendly shirts and zip lock bags to help with our hike of the Narrows! Would stay here again.

Great remote house to stay in for Zion

We loved our stay and the owners were very nice and helpful. The house location feels very remote but just a short drive to Zion. We enjoyed walking down to the nearby virgin river. The owner’s dog even went with us. The property was very clean. We would stay here again.

Love this place! Fantastic 360’ views, trails and river. Easy access to Zion, Bryson, and more …. Steve and Deb are the best owners we’ve ever had, helpful, and full of tips. We have used VRBO for 15 years. Mom, Dad and teenagers agree, this was the best house, location, trip we could have picked!!

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Deb Masefield

Host profile image
We are British by birth and are now dual American and British citizens. We have lived in the shadow of Zion since 2002.
We built and designed (with help of course) this house ourselves.
We both owned a B&B in Springdale (Zion gateway town) and understand (most) travelers needs !
Deb is an accomplished artist using mixed media.
Steve is a retired computer nerd & ex teacher who is now focusing on rebuilding antique cars !

Why they chose this property

This house is set in one of the most amazing view points in the area. We have views of Zion for sunrise and sunset. It's not a party house and is in a quiet neighborhood.
Our location is central to many nearby National Parks and can be used as a base for the "Grand Tour Experience" or just hanging out away from the bustle of everyday life.
There are 3 lakes within 15 miles, offering water activities (fishing and swimming) should that appeal, as well as multiple golf courses.
Hiking on our doorstep was big appeal as was the privacy and solitude offered by being away from the bustle and noise of Springdale where we once lived.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion, views, serenity, stunning night skies - yes the milky way exists here (when the moon is not too bright and clouds permit of course !) Enjoy true relaxation and quiet or go mad and bike, hike, canyoneer, golf or swim till you drop.

If you want to elope - do it here !
