This was a great spot for my family of six, with four teenagers, to stay while visiting Zion NP. It was so nice to come back to a comfortable setting with board games to play in the evening while we relaxed. I also appreciate the many bonuses that the well stocked kitchen offered. Thanks for sharing this home with us.
My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful home! It was incredibly spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed to relax after our adventures. The leather sectional with reclining chairs was the perfect place to unwind after a long day of hiking and exploring. The location was ideal, with an easy drive to Zion National Park and close to great restaurants and shopping. The owner was wonderful to work with, friendly, responsive, and truly made us feel welcome. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
We had a great stay here while visiting Zion. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the WiFi was strong, and the family room had the best La-Z-Boy couch—perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking. Overall, it was a great stay and we would definitely recommend it.
The house was very clean & well stocked. Beds were very comfortable. We were about 40 minutes from Zion’s visitors center. It was perfect for our stay!
Very comfortable stay for our family with 6. We were out at Zion both days, so only ate dinner at night in the house. Quiet, clean and nice thoughtful extras in the bathroom!
Awesome place! We had everything we could ask for. This is the best VRBO I have stayed in. Very clean, beds were very comfortable, close proximity to Zion NP, everything we needed to cook meals and a great view!
Kitchen was great, we like to cook had everything we needed. Beds were comfortable plenty of towel, etc. Yard was spacious, they had a fire pit which was a plus for us. Close to stores, Walmart not too far away. Close to Zion national park. It was just adults but if you had kids the one bedroom would have been ideal.
We had a wonderful two night stay here and really wished we had longer. Set on a very quiet and peaceful street, but within a 10 min walk to local restaurants it was just perfect. One of those places where the pictures just don’t do it justice! The kitchen was incredibly well stocked, the rooms spacious with plenty of storage space and the icing on the cake was the number of coat hooks - so practical and well thought through.

This was a great house to stay in. It is new and very well furnished. The kitchen had everything we needed. The front room was perfect for visiting and watching some TV. I will definitely stay there again.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Desert Serenity. We wish you a very happy New Year
The house was a “home away from home!” It was very clean, warm, and welcoming. Beds were comfortable and kitchen well stocked. It was a great location for visiting Zion, Kolob, and Bryce. Neighborhood was nice and quiet and The Owner was very easy to communicate with. We loved our stay.
We stayed here with our grandkids while visiting Zion NP. It was about 25 mins from the park which wasn't too bad. Meanwhile, the kids loved the bunk beds. The kitchen was well equipped and the nice open layout made it great to hang out together. Grocery store was nearby and we loved Red Fort and Indian restaurant just a couple blocks away.

About the host
Hosted by Stephanie Major
Hi! We are the Didericksens (Mont and Mindi) and the Majors (Jeff and Stephanie), and we want to welcome you to Desert Serenity.
Mindi and Stephanie are sisters, and our families have spent more than 25 years traveling from Northern Utah to Southern Utah for warm winter getaways, ball tournaments, outdoor recreation and family vacations.
For years, we dreamed of having a Southern Utah “home away from home” where our families could gather and make memories together. In the spring of 2018, that dream became a reality when we broke ground on Desert Serenity.
We love sharing our home with guests and hope it can become a special part of your Southern Utah memories, too.
Why they chose this property
Before building Desert Serenity, we spent countless hours driving through Washington County looking for the right place for our Southern Utah home.
Location was incredibly important to us. We wanted to be close to Zion National Park, Sand Hollow and the many outdoor activities Southern Utah has to offer, while still having a quiet place to come home to at the end of the day.
When we found this property, the beautiful mountain views and east-facing backyard helped make the decision for us. The evening shade is especially welcome during Southern Utah's warmer months, and we still love sitting outside and taking in the views.
Today, the location has even more to offer, with Zion Canyon Hot Springs just a few blocks from the house.
What makes this property unique
Desert Serenity was built to be more than a vacation rental—it was created as a home our own families would enjoy, and we have always tried to extend that same comfort and care to our guests.
We take pride in keeping the home exceptionally clean, comfortable and thoughtfully stocked. From the two king bedrooms and custom-built loft room to the well-equipped kitchen, relaxing backyard, mountain views and wood-burning fire pit, we want our guests to have everything they need to settle in and enjoy their time together.
More than 200 perfect guest reviews across rental platforms mean a great deal to us. We hope every guest leaves Desert Serenity with wonderful memories and a desire to come back.
