About this property
The Fortress
The Fortress is designed for comfort and relaxation, with plenty of natural light and stunning views of the red mountains from the private deck. You’ll love unwinding in the spacious living room, featuring an 80-inch smart TV for movie nights and an electric reclining couch that’s so comfortable, it feels like you’re floating on a cloud.
The bedroom is your personal retreat with a KING-size bed piled high with soft pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom is a standout feature, offering custom tile work, dual shower heads, including a luxurious rainfall shower head, and stylish finishes that make it feel like your own private spa.
If you need extra sleeping space, just let us know—we’ve got a twin rollaway bed and a queen air mattress available.
One of the best parts of The Fortress is its location right across from Canyon Park. Take a leisurely stroll on the paved trail that runs along Coal Creek, surrounded by majestic red mountains. It’s the perfect way to start your day or wind down in the evening.
And to make your stay even more convenient, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—a rare perk that’s especially handy during winter months or when coming back from a day of exploring. Park comfortably and keep your vehicle safe from the elements!
Guest Access During your stay, the whole place is yours to enjoy! Relax in the living area, cook up a meal in the fully stocked kitchen, and rest easy in the comfortable bedroom. Plus, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—perfect for secure parking and keeping your vehicle snow-free during the winter months.
Shared Spaces Just a quick heads up—the backyard is shared with our other unit, The Zen Den, located right in front of The Fortress. You might run into other guests (or their friendly pups) while enjoying the fully fenced yard. It’s a great spot for some dog-friendly fun—just be sure to clean up after them.
As you’re going through the reservation, please make sure you’ve selected the correct number of guests and pets so the platform can calculate everything properly. If anything looks off or you run into any issues, just shoot me a message and I’m happy to help. Want to make sure everything’s smooth and easy for you with no surprises after booking.

Great place to stay! Garage was a nice extra but the Ming size bed was very comfortable, the couch wasn’t bad, the TV was great and the host was very responsive to any questions, issues or needs! Location to downtown was well within walking distance so we didn’t have to deal with traffic while attending the Christmas Festival. Highly recommend this place and this host - both rate 5 stars from us!
Great and prompt communication from the hosts, very nice modern accommodation with beautiful view from the balcony. Nice off-street with garage parking. Highly recommend!
Rental was very clean, as advertised and close to town and trails.

Hey Kelli, thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you had a nice stay and found the rental clean and close to town and trails. If there's anything specific you think we could improve upon to bump up that rating next time, feel free to let us know. We're always looking to make our guests' experiences even better!
The property was great with a great view of the mountains. Conveniently located across the street from a wonderful park. Loved the couch and television, great for catching up on our Netflix shows and loved having You Tube TV. The host was fantastic. Kept in great communication with us and gave us suggestions of what to do in the area. Would definitely stay here again!
I would highly recommend this spot. It is a great location. The view is awesome, and the accommodations are great.

It was a hidden gem. We will for sure stay here again if staying in Cedar City.
Nice place to shack up for a couple of nights. Walking distance from town with a nice backyard for the pup and close in proximity to everything southern Utah has to offer.

Thanks for the great feedback! Stoked to hear the place had everything you needed and served as a perfect base for exploring Zion and Bryce Canyon. Would love to host you again for your next adventure!
This was the perfect stay for me and my family. We came to Utah for a ski trip and it had everything we needed. It was close to restaurants and markets, they had a fenced area for our dogs to run around. The stay was very cozy and it was equipped with every thing we needed. Will definitely be back again in the future

About the host
Hosted by Gerardo
Hey, I’m Gerardo. I’ve been in Southern Utah for over 25 years and know Cedar City inside and out. I’m a real estate agent and manage a few rentals locally, so I stay pretty hands-on with everything. I like keeping things simple, clean, and dialed so you can just show up and relax. When I’m not working, I’m usually out golfing, hiking, or spending time with family. Hosting is something I take seriously—I want your stay to feel easy, comfortable, and worth it.
Why they chose this property
This spot is all about convenience and access. You’re right in Cedar City, close to downtown, SUU, restaurants, and everything you need, but still in a quieter area where you can unwind. It’s a good base whether you’re here for events, work, or just passing through. You’ve got quick access to the mountains, trails, and places like Brian Head, plus the national parks aren’t far either. It’s one of those locations where everything just makes sense.
What makes this property unique
The Fortress is built to feel solid, comfortable, and practical. It’s set up for people who want space to spread out and relax after a long day. Clean, well-kept, and stocked with what you actually need—no guesswork.
What stands out is the setup and location. You get a good amount of privacy, plus access to the shared backyard space. It works well for families, groups, or anyone needing a place that feels more like a home than a basic rental. I also stay local, so if anything comes up or you need recommendations, you’re not dealing with someone out of state—you’ve got someone nearby who knows the area.
