Wonderful stay in Kanab

My husband and I stayed for two weeks. We were so impressed how well this house was clean, equipped with all household items, and nicely decorated. We felt like staying at home of relatives or friends. Location was quiet, on the outskirts of Kanab but still convenient to everything. We liked eating on the front porch and look at the Kaibab plateau. Also Cottonwood trailhead was within walking distance. We hope to be back soon.

Moms Place

We all felt like we were staying at our mom’s home. Clean, comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make meals. Quiet neighborhood, close to town. We LOVED our stay at mom’s place. Close to Bryce Canyon and local hiking trails and close to town. Kanab is an awesome town!

Calm and Peaceful Get Away

I loved the house. Everything was so clean and organized. This was the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The owner has thoughtfully provided many special touches that enhance the charm and comfort of the rental. In addition to an abundance of nice towels and linens, there are cooking utensils, kitchen appliances, dinnerware, extra paper towels, a large assortment of spices, coffee and filters, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, extra trash bags, etc., etc. just to name a few of the items provided. It is a very peaceful setting. I enjoyed having a meal one night on the front porch. I stayed for eight nights and was sad to leave. It did not feel like a rental property. It felt like I was a welcome guest in the home of a friend or relative. I hope to be able to return again next year.

Perfect Getaway

This place was amazing. I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs but this was the best. 5 Minutes to town. Peaceful location, saw a deer next door and 3 chickens came to visit. Cleanliness was above and beyond. Everything you want was there. We played games on the front porch and had a ball. Would recommend this house to anyone. Thanks Joan

Lovely stay

Love the house and what the host does to make it so nice to visit. Lots of space and amenities the decor is thoughtful and eclectic. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable if you like an evening stroll like us. Sitting on the porch and listening to the birds in all the mature trees or stargazing at night is so relaxing. Convenient short drive to town center. Definitely would stay there again. Mom would be proud.

One of the best ever

Everything was made very easy for us from beginning of our stay until checkout. We had everything we needed, it felt like we had all the comforts and necessities of home, down to the spices we needed to cook. We had a chance to meet Joan, the owner, she was absolutely delightful! This was by far one of the best rentals we have had the pleasure of staying. Thanks for everything Joan!!!

Perfect Place

Past property reviews of 5 Stars are well warranted. The host was very communicative. The property was exceptionally well kept, spacious, well stocked, quiet, and clean. An eclectic collection of books are available for reading or perusal. It's a perfect place for older couples and we would easily stay here again. if you wish to avoid the busier Springdale area then Kanab may work for you. Kanab is a small town with restaurants, grocery stores, basic amenities, small sites and trails to experience on their own. Zion and Bryce Canyon are easy drives, plus you can experience the magnificent Mt. Carmel east entrance to Zion. We got up at 5:00 AM for both parks and it was well worth the effort for scenery and smaller crowds. We even found parking at Zion's Visitor Center. The locals were exceedingly friendly and helpful.

We Love Mom's Place!

This was the second time my husband and I stayed at Mom’s Place and it continues to be outstanding! It is such a pleasant and welcoming house, arriving there felt like coming home. It is quiet and very clean. With two bedrooms, a kitchen and large dining/living room, there is plenty of space. The two bathrooms are also a plus, especially if two couples are staying. Joan provides everything you could want to make your stay a pleasure, from coffee and basic condiments to extra towels. She responds promptly to any question and is just next door should any issue arise. I strongly recommend Mom’s Place as the perfect base for exploring the magnificent scenery around Kanab.

Perfect Home away from Home

This house was amazing, it literally felt like we were at home. Joan was super responsive and a great host. The house was clean and stocked with everything you needed. She had an entire counter of things to do in the area, it was like a mini visitor center. Loved sitting on the porch in the morning and the lot was a corner lot which made it private. The location for Kanab is just a couple of miles. We stayed in 4 VRBOs in our trip to all the parks and this was our favorite, highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Joan A. Thacher

I have lived in the area since 1978 but am originally from Oakland, California. I instantly
fell in love with Southern Utah! The landscape is like nowhere on earth and the sky is so
blue you'll wonder if it's real! I love the outdoors and always have. I love gardening,
hiking, walking the dogs and rockhounding. If you're a rockhound this is the place for you!
My husband and I love riding our motorcycle through Zion National Park! I worked for many years in drug and alcohol prevention education and now am part-owner in the local pet store.
We'd love to have you stay at Mom's and we can guide you to all the out-of-the-way
places nearby.

Why they chose this property

Mom's Place is actually that - my Mom's House. She moved next door to us from Walnut
Creek, CA in 2006 after my Dad died. She moved all her lovely furniture and belongings
into this charming single story home. We were very lucky to have her here for ten years
before she passed away last year. Kanab is a much safer place to live than California!

What makes this property unique

You'll love the layout of the home. First, everything is wheelchair accessible. The
livingroom/diningroom is light and spacious. The master bedroom has a "retreat" room
which we use as a TV/sitting area. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the quiet
with views of the Vermillion cliffs.
