Our stay at this little ranch was so beautiful and outstanding! We loved every minute of our stay there. It was so peaceful and quiet we could have stayed much longer. Our hosts were absolutely on top of everything and very much making sure we enjoyed our stay there. We loved everything including the chickens. Relaxing on the porch we watched the hummingbirds and got to be friends with the barn cats. We loved how close we were to the parks!

Calm and beautiful setting with local flare

We loved our stay in the Bunk House for so many reasons. It was located in a serene setting with views over the fields and mountains--including a menagerie of farm animals. The Bunk House itself was furnished very well and with lots of touches on a ranch theme. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed, also providing a comfortable night's sleep. The hosts were also very welcoming and helpful and even dropped off a plate of cookies for us to enjoy!

Peace and quiet

We stumbled upon this place after not finding a place to stay in Bryce Canyon City and I’m so glad we did! This place has everything you need and was about 25-30 minutes to Bryce Canyon. It was clean, comfortable and came with beautiful and relaxing views. Thanks for the hospitality!

All that we needed

The place was great. it was very relaxing. we spent evenings on the porch watching the birds, horses and wonderful mountains. The hosts, Jerry & Jan were very pleasant and answered all our questions. Don't forget Jessee, the very friendly dog that would stop by for a good petting and rub behind the ears. Highly recommend staying here.

Love the Bunkhouse

We stayed here May24-28 2023 This was one of our best experiences. The ranch is loaded with the charm. Our bunk house tho cozy, was comfy for two people . The unit had everything that was needed. We were able to sit on the porch and view mountains, a chicken coop and pet their friendly dog ( Jesse) Jerry and Jen are welcoming hosts and Jen baked us cookies! You will love your stay here if you enjoy the rustic feel of a ranch. Thanks for providing a comfortable stay :)

Bryce

We wanted a property close enough to Bryce to enjoy it but far enough away to escape the tourist traffic. The Bunkhouse at Garfield County was that place. Clean, charming, quiet and Hosts you would absolutely want as neighbors. This place was all that we could have asked for and more!

Cotton Meadow Lodge

Jerry and Jan, the owners, made us feel right at home on their beautiful property. It was very close to a Red Canyon and not too far from Bryce Canyon. We really enjoyed our stay and it was really nice to get out of a hotel for a few days on our 2 week visit to the National Parks.

Nice property for our stay

We had been on the road for almost three weeks as we made our way across country volunteering for a golf event and visiting national parks on our way to California from Maine. We had been lucky weather-wise until our full day here. We intended to go to Bryce Canyon for the day but it was pretty rainy when we woke up. So instead we spent a relaxing morning in the Bunk House and it was great; it had everything we needed to relax and rest up. We did go to Bryce in the afternoon and it was very foggy but we did get to see some of the incredible scenery there.
