Great Tranquil and Beautiful Home

First of all, communication from Jaycee was exceptional. When I first reserved the home, I wasn’t quite sure how the house and location will work out. The home is much nicer in person than the photos. High loft living room with the wide kitchen window and wall to wall patio door. The house was nicely furnished and all the necessary utensils and equipment is available. The level of detail was thought out thoroughly. Only opportunity is having a outdoor gas grill that is piped in vs propane. The home felt like a resort and that one of the reasons I booked it. the home can sleep 8 with 2 bedrooms and an upstair loft with 4 beds (bunkbed). house is clean and the washer/ dryer was great. keurig was available for coffee. location is remote so about 15 min ride to Kolob canyons, 50 min to Zion National. Beautiful place to stay with quiet surrounding farm homes. I highly recommend if you looking for a remote tranquil getaway and if you don’t mind driving to places, this is the place for you.

10/10 vacation rental!

You won't regret staying at this stunning property! Check in was super easy with their keyless entry and the unit was exactly as pictured and kept in pristine condition. You truly cannot appreciate all of the thought and details put into this rental until you are there in person. The interior design is absolutely stunning and cohesive with the surrounding landscape and I really appreciated all the thoughtfulness put into the amenities offered in the house from the eco friendly toiletries and household items to the sweet little take home gift. Jaycee was also a spectacular host who was very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. He provides a super extensive guide book that you can tell took a lot of time to put together. This property is especially accomodating for families with children. We visited with a 6 month old and really appreciated the travel crib and high chair that was provided at the property. There is also an adorable reading nook on the upper level. We just wish the property was a little closer to grocery stores and Zion, but the quietness and solitude of being in the country was definitely very nice and appreciated. It is well worth the drive and we rented it at an incredibly great price! Definitely recommend staying here!!
