Secluded Retreat

A great secluded cabin that we thoroughly enjoyed. Do you want to get away from everything? This is the place for you. Dave and Karen care about this place, been in their family for years and it shows. It is about the same distance to both Bryce and Zion if you want a place for that and not far from Kanab to get some city like activities in. We were worried about it not having AC and that was certainly not a problem in late June, in fact sometimes my kids were to cold. Thoroughly enjoyed the bunkhouse and would without a doubt stay there again!

Beautiful Place to Get Away

This was such a beautiful place to stay. It was nestled in a canyon filled with lots of trees. One of the trees had a nest right outside the kitchen window with a family of birds in it. What a neat treat! The place looks like it was just built and the hosts are very kind and friendly. This is a great place to stay to see Zion and Bryce Canyon.

The house is cozy and clean. The hills surrounding the house keep out all the highway noise. It’s so serene and quiet. A perfect place to relax after hiking the Parks all day. Dave and Karren were super hosts! Location is great in regards to Bryce and Zion!

A beautiful week in Utah

Our one week vacation @ "The Bunkhouse" was awesome a great retreat for anyone who wants to have peace and quiet and to also see some of the most beautiful national parks and scenery we have in our great country. The location was perfect ,the accommodations were much more then we expected and was a perfect ending to each day to relax and enjoy all the tranquility it offered. David and Karren were very welcoming and friendly. We definitely plan to return!

Starry nights!

The property was what we were hoping for. Great location for visiting Bryce, Zion and the North rim of the Grand Canyon. Very quiet and the skies at night were amazing. If you have never seen the Milky Way, you are in for a treat! Not many places to eat out at, which wasn’t a big problem for us as we usually prepare our own meals. Dave and Karen are wonderful people and we enjoyed talking with them both. We were kind of sad when it was time to leave, which usually doesn’t happen!

Comfortable stay even during a very difficult time.

The cabin is so nice and comfortable. It has everything you need and more! Very quiet and private. Nice breeze and beautiful Aspen trees. We were there to spread my Dad’s remains in the area so the trip was emotional to begin with, and then my horse passed away back at home very unexpectedly. So, not the trip we wanted but I would definitely go back to the Bunkhouse. The family was so kind. I wish we could have spent more time with them.

Remote cabin

The little house itself was great. By the pictures I thought there was a field and pond adjacent to the property, but it was further down the road and driveway. We came late at night so we’re confused about which house and driveway it was. I had difficulty accessing my Vrbo info, so couldn’t review check in procedure. Cute house though and pleasant surroundings, but not much to do in immediate area for kids.

Perfect Rental for Zion and Bryce

Cabin was perfect for a family trip to the national parks. Right in the middle of Zion and Bryce. One hour drive to each and it goes quick because the scenery is beautiful. We also did the north Rim of the Grand Canyon which is more of a hike but doable. We were worried about no A/C at the cabin because there was a heatwave during our stay (110 at Zion) but the cabin is shaded a lot of the day. Just close it up during the day and open the windows in the evening and it gets cold. Our kids actually complained about being too cold in the morning. The cabin was clean and the beds were comfortable. You are on the horse ranch but the cabin is secluded and we never saw anyone unless we went down to look at the horses. Kids loved the bunk beds, having two full bathrooms was great, cabin was well appointed. Great stay, highly recommend!

Great location between Bryce Canyon and Zion plus impeccable hospitality

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the cabin nestled between Bryce Canyon and Zion that exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and shown around by Dave. We were absolutely captivated by the coziness of this place as well as the tranquility of the surrounding landscape. The cabin itself was a haven of comfort and charm. This place is so cool and peaceful! The location couldn't have been more perfect, offering easy access to both national parks while providing a serene and peaceful retreat. We were particularly thrilled with the delicious food Sarah served. It was truly a treat for our taste buds. Additionally, we thoroughly enjoyed Dave's company. His friendly demeanor and engaging conversations added an extra special touch to our experience. It was such an incredible experience, and we can confidently say that we will be coming back for more memorable moments in the future! If you're seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to two of Utah's most iconic national parks, we highly recommend this cabin!

Delightful cabin in a quiet canyon

We’re an older couple in our seventies. This cabin is beautifully designed and constructed, and charming. The setting is very quiet and private. It’s pretty small. I would say it suits 2 adults comfortably, with perhaps one or two small children. The beds were very comfortable, however my husband is tall and didn’t enjoy having to duck and squeeze to get into the lower bunk. The two bathrooms are very spacious and accommodating, the showers roomy. I would not recommend the loft for sleeping for anyone with mobility issues—the stairs are steep and narrow. There is no air conditioning. We like to be active in the mornings, then rest in the afternoons. We were very fortunate that storms came in to cool the temperatures every afternoon. If this hadn’t happened, we would have had difficulty resting in the heat and possibly at night, though portable fans are provided. The kitchen is minimally supplied for food preparation. I usually bring my own cooking tools and supplies when we stay at a rental, but was not able to on this trip because we were flying. I would advise that if you plan to prepare your meals at the cabin, ask the owner ahead of time if the supplies you’ll need are available. The owners are dear people. They are gracious and kind, and responded quickly to our every need. They were kind enough also to leave their barn light off at night, as I wanted to experience the dark skies of Utah. Altogether a lovely and hospitable place.

Great Stay!

We had such a wonderful stay at The Bunkhouse. It is perfectly situated between Zion and Bryce and offers all the comforts of home. Dave and Karren were the perfect hosts, told us about the history of their property and offered tips regarding parks, groceries, etc. The Bunkhouse has a great patio with a gas grill and good sized table and chairs. After hiking all day, we utilized the grill most nights. There is a grocery store called Joe's in Panguitch that has a great meat counter along with other staples you will need. There is also a state store in Panguitch if you want a bottle of wine, spirits, or local specialty beers. We would go the extra 10-15 minutes north of Bryce to Panguitch before heading back to Glendale if we needing anything. There is also a great BBQ restaurant in Panguitch called Cowboy's Smokehouse Cafe. We hiked Zion for two days and Bryce for two days. In Zion we hiked the Canyon Overlook Trail and The Narrows. If you plan on hiking the Narrows, make sure you get there EARLY! (Be on the river by 8:00 a.m.) Otherwise, it's like a public pool. Lots of people. You can also rent special boots and socks at Zion Outfitters in Springdale. We picked up our equipment the afternoon before our hike and returned them the next day. You will need a hiking stick! In Bryce we hiked the Rim Trail the first day and went down into the canyon and did the Navajo Loop Trail and Queen's Garden Trail together. Back at the Bunkhouse, make sure you go out on the driveway or walk down by the horse pasture to see the stars! They are incredible. Saw the Milky Way and a shooting star one night. All in all, great place to stay.

Wonderful!

We had a great time at the Bunkhouse. It had all the amenities we needed, was perfectly situated between Zion and Bryce parks, and was a perfect spot to wind down after long, hot days. During the height of the summer, the upstairs bedroom gets a bit too warm, but the lower bunk room slept quite comfortably. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Dave and Karren Nemrow

Host profile image
Dave and Karren, your hosts, have owned this property for 33 years, and for 30 years before that, it belonged to Karren’s folks. We are retired, but are young at heart and have many children and grandchildren. We built a log home here in 1990, and after retiring a few years ago (Dave was a high school art teacher and Karren was the high school secretary), decided to remodel the old cabin into the bunkhouse to share with friends, family and guests.

Why they chose this property

Grandad's old bunkhouse, up Lydia's Canyon one mile north of Glendale, Utah and a mile off Hwy 89 is secluded and quiet and has forever been the cherished spot and gathering place for family and friends. It's close to so many wonderful places to visit like Zion NP, Bryce NP, Grand Canyon NP, Lake Powell and many more!

What makes this property unique

'HappyOurs Ranch' in Lydias Canyon is the most beautiful, rustic, secluded, quiet, private canyon retreat from the fast paced hustle bustle of today's living. It's like turning back the pages of time to a tranquil valley that you will fall in love with. You will enjoy the convenience and close proximity to the best attractions in Southern Utah. Come be our guest!
