About this property
River Rock Studio w/private courtyard, 20 minutes to Zion
We aim to complement the experience of visiting Zion by bringing the feeling of the outdoors inside: natural light, airy ceilings, and canyon colors. A glass door and tall windows make the private courtyard feel like part of the interior.
(Please note that - alas! - we cannot allow pets. We do love animals, but allergies intervene.)
Newly built in 2020, the studio is attached to our home but functions as a totally private apartment with its own entrance, gated courtyard, kitchenette, climate control, and smart TV. We have two adjacent studio rentals and courtyards with similar accommodations, also attached to our home. All are fully electric and run on solar power.
Our memory foam mattresses are comfy as all get-out and we went out of our way to make sure the showers are exactly what hikers are looking for after a long day: great water pressure and giant, fluffy towels! This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Zion area and a well-placed launching pad for your next outing.

About the host
Hosted by Diana Hall

Hello! I'm a Chatty Kathy backcountry guide with an optimistic disposition and fondness for animals of all sorts. I live right outside Zion National Park and most of my favorite activities happen therein: canyoneering, backpacking, hiking, climbing, and watching wildlife do what wildlife generally does. My favorite topics of conversation include outdoor goings-on, stories of bravery and chutzpah, movies and how they should have been written better, and the gut microbiome. I look forward to meeting you. :)
Why they chose this property
My husband Ethan and I moved here over ten years ago to work as canyoneering and rock climbing guides. We've been doing that ever since! The Zion area's slot canyons are incredible, and I could go on about how much I love them for days.
What makes this property unique
We worked hard to make our studios as comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing as possible! I hope you find them to be all of the above. :)
