Such a beautiful location! Perfect spot to head out to Zion or any of the other nearby parks. We were snowed in a couple of mornings, but didn't mind because there was plenty to do inside as well. The home was very well stocked and met the needs of our family perfectly! We enjoyed the mountain views during the day and the stars at night. Highly recommend!

Thank you for the lovely review. Glad the location worked well for trips to Zion and nearby parks, and that the home was well stocked for your family. Happy you enjoyed the mountain views and nighttime stars—even with a few snowed-in mornings. We appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you again.

We enjoyed our stay. The drive to Zion is easy and it was nice to have a grocery store right on the way. Nice to have a quiet place after the crowds in Zion. Kids had fun. Best part was breakfast on the patio and coffee in the loungers.

Great stay and location to Zion

We had a great stay at this comfy house. It was a good location for trips to Zion and Bryce, plus some local attractions such as Sand Hollow State Park. The views from the house were great, everything was comfortable. We had everything we needed. We loved hanging out on the swings after a day of hiking and our teen boys enjoyed the tennis court once it cooled down in the evening.

Zion Trip

This was a nice home base for our week stay. We were able to cover parks and tours in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. The house was a quiet retreat after long days of exploring. The private basketball/tennis court was an added bonus for our children. As well as the game room. Views are amazing!

The host was great to communicate with and very helpful. We had a few concerns about the property. The linens weren't very clean. There was spots of blood on the pillow cases. Very unsanitary. One of the bunk bed rooms had paint peeling off the walls pretty bad. There was some foreign object in the deck that looked to have been from a dog that wasn't cleaned up prior to our stay. The deck wood is lifting from wear and tear which is a safety hazard as a few of us tripped over it a few times. The front door and back door were difficult to close at the latch wouldn't stick. The backdoor was difficult to lock until we figured out the process. The property and home are nice but needs some TLC to bring it up to par. And sanitary. All in all I would rate it a 3 only because of the issues we had.

Perfect for our family

As our children walked in, I heard ooooohs and aaaaaaahs. The Southwest style was unique and very different from what we have in Minnesota. The sleeping accommodations were perfect for our family of 9. It was a great jumping off point for Zion Park, and was delightful to come back to. We had morning coffee on the deck, home cooked breakfast, and enjoyed the view and outside grounds. We wished we had been there longer.

June getaway

Great property, super quiet and private. Enjoyed the private tennis court with night lights and the amazing views. Great TV room set up. The Disney Plus and other paid subscriptions provided with the rental is a nice touch. Recommend the play room with pool table, foosball, air hockey and other games including an arcade style pinball machine. Property was clean and had everything needed for an extended stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Home & Panoramic Views

The property is massive and the home was perfect! Plenty of room for large families! 4 bathrooms was perfect for getting ready in the morning. The views are amazing… no matter what direction you look there’s something beautiful to see. The toiletries and Kleenex in each bathroom is nice. No need to bring shampoo and conditioner. The game room is a bonus! And the covered patio area with hammock swings was perfect to take in the sunset.
