About this property

Grand Canyon North Rim + Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase, The Wave and Lake Powell

So many folks tell us that when they walk inside The Jackson House for the first time the first word they utter is 'Wow!' Guests are initially impressed by the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of the home and the attention to detail for cleanliness and comfort. As guests continue on the tour of the home they see that each room offers period antiques and can see the restoration of hard wood floors, spun glass windows, wood trim and flowering gardens. The home offers early 1900's charm with modern expectations such as feather topped beds, down comforters, and soft linens. The Jackson home takes you back in time to when people sat on the front porch sipping fresh lemonade and gathered together to create memories that would last a lifetime.

Guests are impressed to see a fully stocked modern kitchen, period bathroom complete with a claw-foot tub, inviting library full of books, cascading stream in the backyard, three car garage, and entertainment room with lg panel smart tv, bar, fridge, and microwave.

Although the inside of the Jackson House is amazing, the 'Wow' factor continues as guests see the backyard for the first time! A cascading river flows through the private desert oasis! There is a large patio and BBQ where you can gather your friends and family together for delicious meals. Subtle outdoor lighting allows you to enjoy the atmosphere of the backyard and the stars at the same time.

Just when guests think they have seen the entire home, they discover the basement entertainment room which is privately located at the far east side of the home. The entertainment room comes complete with a large flat screen TV, serving bar, microwave, mini fridge, game table, two large leather couches, games and movies. This area can be used as a 5th family bedroom.

The home offers 4 bedroom + 4 cubby sleeping areas, 3 baths, living room, family room, dining room, entertainment room, three car garage and plenty of parking for an RV or multiple cars. The Jackson House can accommodate large groups but the nightly rental rate is perfect for couples and small parties. The home sleeps 8 in beds but guests can also use the pull out queen sofa and sleeping mats.

The Jackson House is pet friendly. The yard is fully fenced to keep your pet safe and protected. On the side of the house there is a dog run complete with a dog door that leads into a secure kennel inside the garage. Sorry no cats due to homeowners allergies.

The Jackson House is located only 5 miles from Kanab, Utah where you can grocery shop, visit tourist attractions, and enjoy entertainment. If you don't feel like driving you can walk right across the street and enjoy a meal at the Cowboy Butte Grill. You can also stroll two blocks down and splash in the town swimming pool or play at the new park.

If you are looking for more things to do during your free time, the Jackson House comes with plenty of extras to help you enjoy your vacation. There is a large area to play basketball and a pool table for family fun.

The Jackson House provides the perfect base from which to explore Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Grand Staircase National Park and all of Southern Utah. We are also only 45 minutes to The North Rim of the Grand Canyon which is the hidden Jewel of Arizona. The North Rim is less crowded, more spectacular, and offers cooler temperatures. There is so much to do in this area, but you may find the Jackson House to be so relaxing and rejuvenating that you never want to leave the front porch!

This was a wonderful Vrbo. It was literaly 75 miles in either direction to Zion, Bryce, and the north Rim of the Grand Canyon. Kanab, which is 8 miles north is a pleasant little town. This house is huge and the back yard stunning. Traci left nothing for the imagination. Those looking for a nice place to stay at a reasonable price need not look any further then this place.

Couldn’t be happier 😁

My family and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED this house!!! The location was perfect!! We visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Hiked the full trail of the Narrows in Zion National Park, Sand Caves, Coral Pink Sand Dunes and many more. I loved coming back to the house and relaxing after our busy days. We grilled out, played basketball, and loved the front porch sitting in the early mornings. I would definitely stay again here.

Nice area, Nice house

We had a great time. We honestly weren't in the house much because there was so much to do and we were s busy. The house was very nice though. It was clean and spacious. There were 6 of us, myself, my husband and 3 of my kids (2 are adults). Everyone was able to have their own space and everyone was happy with it. Thank you

old house problems

The HVAC system is not properly designed. Some rooms were too cold, others too hot. Also, house is sinking on one side, so the head of the bed is slightly lower than the feet, causing stomach acid to creep into your throat while you sleep. Turn your body around, like I did to counter act.

Beautiful house! Perfect location to see it all!

The Jackson house did not disappoint! Clean, spacious, and beautiful! We stayed here for our "National Parks Tour" we took this summer. We have 4 kids, ages 14, 12, 9, and 7. They loved all the great details this house had to offer. Favorites included the tree swing in the front yard, the pool table, the basketball hoop, and the numerous crawl spaces to hide out in and play. The house was very well furnished! Everything is there that you could possibly need. The kitchen is fully stocked. The front porch was the perfect place to relax after a day of hiking-we loved the rocking chairs. This location was perfect for our day trips to Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon. We also visited Coral Pink Sand Dunes state park and spent some time checking out fun things to see and do in Kanab, just a few minutes up the road. I highly recommend the Jackson House. It's truly a special place to stay and really made our vacation enjoyable!

Great little house close to Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Grand Canyon National Parks

We had a wonderful time at our VRBO in Fredonia, AZ. We used this as our "home base" while we traveled to Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, and Grand Canyon National Park. (This was our southwest National Parks tour, as you can tell!) This was a great house within about an hour and half to all of these places. The nearby town of Kanab, UT had lots of dining options, ice cream places, and a few nice grocery stores. The home had a full kitchen and we were able to save money by cooking there a few nights. The beds were comfortable and we felt safe there.

Great place

We had a really nice experience and highly recommend this place. We were 6 adults and 1 dog. The house was charming with a nicely equipped kitchen, and a good sized dining room and living room. The man cave downstairs was a nice touch as was the spacious outside space with fenced in yards. Two of the bedrooms are nice and big. The other two rooms have a single with a trundle. The trundle bed frames are a bit squeaky so putting the mattress on the ground was better. Watch out for speed traps. That main street in Fredonia has a ton of cops.

A Gem of a Home!

The longer we stayed at the Jackson House, the more gems we uncovered: *Well-stocked kitchen, including cooking oil, ample dishware, pots and pans, Ziploc bags, etc. *Bathrooms/linen closets with ample supply of towels and toiletries (shampoo, conditioner and body wash). *Plenty of space for a large group to spread out. *Outside hose for rinsing off sandy/dusty hiking boots and outerwear. *Very cute backyard with two patio sets and a functional gas grill. *Lovely front porch sitting area with rocking chairs. *Location is on a state route, making navigation to National Parks easier. *Nice laundry room, including a “tucked away” laundry bin (I want one of these for my home!). *Surprisingly, the stairs going to the upper level were quiet and did not disturb light sleepers. *Lamps in the bedrooms had outlets in the base for phone charging, etc. *Amazingly organized, with a binder (refer to this if you stay here!) describing nuances or common questions about the home. i.e. light and garbage disposal switches were labeled for clarification. *Certainly was a relaxing place to “crash” after a long day of hiking at National Parks. *The décor reflected the character of the home; the binder put the reader in touch with the history of the Jackson House and the immense care and love put into making this a welcoming place to stay. *Although we only had adults in our group, this home is accommodating for children!

About the host

Hosted by Scott and Traci Heaton

Host profile image
In 1991 Scott and Traci met while working as river guides in the Grand Canyon. At the time, Scott’s parents owned The Jackson House and operated it as a Bed & Breakfast. Scott and Traci had their wedding reception in the front room! Little did they know that 15 years later they would purchase The Jackson House. For over five years they completely renovated and remodeled. It has been a labor of love.

The Heaton family now lives in Juneau. They have learned to troll for salmon, fish for halibut, kayak in the open sea, and hike mountain peaks with snow shoes. They love exploring Southeast Alaska hope to one day return to the beauty and serenity of the North Rim.
