About this property

The Ardella Cottage - Charming escape near Zion National Park

The Ardella Cottage is an oasis near Zion National Park. The family home of Ardella Heiner. Ardella's home was a family gathering spot since 1947. At her passing at 98 years of age, her great-niece purchased the home and the acre it sits on. The home has been beautifully restored and updated. The yard and gardens are also meticulously kept, like Ardella did even in the final years of her life. The Ardella Cottage is unlike any other vacation home! It is an experience, not just a house. It has all of the charm and sentiment you would want from a historic cottage, with every modern convenience and lots of space to escape from it all.

About the host

Hosted by Jean

Host profile image
I grew up in the small Southern Utah town of LaVerkin and loved my childhood in beautiful Southern Utah. I'm the great-niece of Ardella Heiner, one of the daughters of Henry and Susanna Gubler, who were the original settlers of LaVerkin, Utah. Ardella built and lived in The Ardella Cottage from the time of its creation in the 1940s until her death a couple of years ago. I grew up in LaVerkin and have the fondest memories of this town and especially spending time at the cottage as a child. Because of my love of Southern Utah, my sweetheart and I were excited when we got the opportunity to own, remodel, and share this special place with you. Turning this into a vacation retreat has been a labor of love and we are so excited for you to feel all the love that has gone into it.

We love Southern Utah! I worked at Zion National Park through my teen years. My parents got engaged there. Zion and the surrounding areas are very special to my family and we are excited for you to experience the majesty of it for yourselves.

We love movies, yummy grub, good people, good conversation, hiking, horses. We love family and consider our guests to be an extension of our family!

Why they chose this property

There is no where else on Earth like this cottage. It was built by my grandfather, designed by my Grandmother and added on to over time, creating a unique floorplan with plenty of nooks and crannies. It has been meticulously re-designed to have every modern convenience and comfort while keeping the charm and cozy feel of an old cottage. It is surprisingly big and can accommodate many guests comfortably. Look for surprises for the children to discover through out the upstairs and the gardens. We have outdoor games and so many things to do at the property that you may never want to leave, but our proximity to Zion National Park and other exciting outdoor destinations make the cottage a great base for Southern Utah adventurers.

What makes this property unique

The yard is like a park and includes a fire pit and outdoor cooking. Each room has a tv and streaming services, plus its own climate control. Walls are thick, so you can stay with a large crowd and still have privacy.
