Guest Access:
Keypad lock to open the door. We'll send you a private lock code prior to your reservation. This modest home was designed to blend in with its natural environment and take advantage of the red rock vistas, while also being energy efficient. This design allowed installation of radiant floor heating and an evaporative cooler. In low-humidity areas, such as Kanab, evaporating water into the air provides a natural and energy-efficient means of cooling. During extreme temperature periods, an evaporative cooler will not feel the same as central air conditioning.

The Neighborhood:
Located about 5 miles east from downtown Kanab in a quiet neighborhood.

There's plenty to do with state and national parks nearby, but if you're looking for something more low-key for a day or two, consider the local hikes featured on the flyers in our house book: Squaw, Bunting and K-hill, all offering wonderful views. As well, Jacob Hamblin park has a playground, field, pool with slides, splash pad, and tennis/pickleball courts; Kanab City Library is nearby and often has books for sale; Ranchos Park has great baseball fields; Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has great guided tours (they welcome donations). Also consider the local restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream shops. We love some of the local tour companies; they can make your travel time far more productive and enjoyable. Many of them even offer early morning pick-ups from Kanab.

Equestrian and biking trails are also available.

Getting Around:
This home has convenient access to Hwy 89A/89 which takes you to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Zion and Bryce National Parks, Lake Powell, as well as the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Here in southern Utah a vehicle is required to get around in town and beyond. We recommend a 4WD vehicle with high clearance if you intend to go off-road to out of the way places.

Page, AZ airport is 1.25 hours away; St. George, UT airport is 1.5 hours away; Las Vegas airport is 3.5 hours away.

For the safety of our property and our guests, we have cameras around the perimeter of the property. Some of the cameras are monitoring the front/back door as well.

This modest home was built to maximize the radiance of the red rock and open terrain as well as energy efficiency. This design allowed installation of radiant floor heating and an evaporative cooler. In low-humidity areas, such as Kanab, evaporating water into the air provides a natural and energy-efficient means of cooling. During extreme temperature periods, an evaporative cooler will not feel the same as central air conditioning.
Here is a little information about this home and heating system. It is heated with thermal Floor heating in the main Kitchen and Livingroom area. During the cold and winter months you will need to turn on all bedroom individual wall heaters and also turn the main front room thermostat to a normal setting about 70- 78 depending on the weather. With all these heaters on the house temperature will rise and hold very comfortable. The main Livingroom and Kitchen area will take some time to heat, but with all the bedroom heaters on they will all come together and heat the home very efficiently.

We offer a free concierge service with some great recommendations!
