Zion Guest House at Lazalu Near Zion National Park

About robert perkins

I love nature and solitude, two dwindling qualities in our world today. I am an artist and you can see what I've been up to by visiting robertfperkins and adding dot-com to the end. I attended Harvard University and University College Cork, Cork, Ireland. I have written many books and made television for PBS and Channel 4 in Britain. I am from the East, from Boston where I grew up in a large family of five children. I was the middle child. I just finished two exhibitions in London of collaborations I've created with poets for over forty-five years. I have 2,000 books on Art, Poetry, and Literature for browsing on a rainy day. I am an amateur naturalist and happy to share what I know about the area.

Why robert perkins chose Virgin

I love Nature and first visiting Zion National Park from the East Coast, it's red rock and stunning beauty took my breath away. I was lucky to come across this property in the heart of Cave Valley, a ten-minute walk away from uncrowded Zion Park hiking on one side and BLM land on the other. As a friend said to me, "Rob, you certainly live in the heart of the artichoke." It's quiet. At night the stars are brilliant as there are not city lights to dim them. Lazalu is green and off the grid with its own well and solar panels. It's an unusual way to live and visit.

What makes this Guest House unique

The Solitude and Nature that surround Lazalu are stunning. I know everyone says this but even the locals concede I have an unusual place, among unusual places. When you rent Lazalu there are no other guests. as Thomas Gray put it, "you are far from the madding crowd." Yet, you are within reach of Springdale, St. George and Hurricane, all towns that have what civilization offers. On arrival I would be gald to orient you to what you want. ane
