About this property

Mountain Desert Retreat Elevation 40 Zion

Escape to your own private mountaintop sanctuary at Elevation 40 Zion — a secluded cabin set on 40 private acres in South Zion near Zion National Park. Accessible by 4x4, this off-grid style retreat rewards adventurous travelers with panoramic desert views, total privacy, and unforgettable stargazing under dark desert skies. Where rugged desert beauty meets modern comfort, this unique vacation rental offers a peaceful getaway perfect for couples, families, and travelers seeking a quiet retreat away from crowds. Wake to breathtaking sunrises, explore nearby Zion hiking and outdoor adventures, then unwind in complete seclusion. Elevation 40 Zion isn’t just a stay, it’s a one-of-a-kind desert escape above it all.

Other Things to Note:
Situated on a remote mountainside, Elevation 40 Zion is surrounded by the captivating wildlife of Southern Utah. From majestic bighorn sheep roaming the slopes to lively squirrels, chipmunks, and even the occasional desert hare, there's always a chance to spot something remarkable. Guests might catch glimpses of soaring hawks and eagles overhead or, with a little luck, hear the distant calls of coyotes as dusk settles.

To reach Elevation 40 Zion, guests must have a 4x4 or all-wheel-drive vehicle. The rugged mountain access road is part of the adventure and helps preserve the privacy, seclusion, and untouched beauty that make this mountaintop Zion retreat so special. The journey rewards you with sweeping desert views, peaceful surroundings, and the feeling of truly escaping into nature.

Because the cabin sits on 40 private acres in a remote desert wilderness near Zion National Park, guests are immersed in the natural habitat of local wildlife. Sightings may include desert bighorn sheep, soaring birds, jackrabbits, and other native desert animals that roam freely across the landscape. Smaller desert creatures such as field mice or woodrats may occasionally be present, which is a normal part of an authentic off-grid desert experience. We take steps to minimize indoor visits, and guests can help by securing food and keeping exterior doors closed.
This balance of rugged wilderness, wildlife viewing, and modern comfort is what makes Elevation 40 Zion a truly unique secluded desert escape — where nature, privacy, and unforgettable moments come together.

Wow….(PS: do not take our lack of words here as a lack of items to share, simply speechlessness) also, the climb to the property is not for the faint of heart. Get that 4x4.

“Magical is an understatement.”After spending 7 days running all over Utah, this home was the perfect ending to our trip. We didn’t leave for two full days—seriously! We were completely mesmerized by the mountains that surround you.The house itself is absolutely perfect. From the moment you walk in, any stress you’re carrying just melts away, and you’re instantly in full relaxation mode.If you’re looking for the perfect getaway, this is it. We can’t recommend it enough.

A getaway never forgotten!

This was such a gorgeous place in our forever memory!! The information and being guided up by the property manager was so great to get a gauge of the house on the mountain. The rooms are all clean and the loft is so well thought out with styrofoam on the beams above the bed. We also loved the touch of “no food wasted and were stoked to see your basic spices so we wouldn’t have to bring. We replenished whatever we finished but it was so easy to pay it forward! The views truly are unbelievable as well as the nights under the stars. It is a perfect distance from Zion. We loved having that under an hour drive there and being in a quiet side of town. Rick & Daniel showed up for us above and beyond making us feel so welcomed for our honeymoon! We cannot wait to come back.
