What Our Guests Are Saying
-
Their was an issue with the lodging but they were quick to correct it. Great location and very quiet. Loved my stay!!
-
Great house just outside of town. Nice quiet area. Beautiful sunrises. Loved the garage to pull the car on and unload. Perfect base camp for all of our treks.
-
Highly recommend this property for anyone visiting the local national parks. The house was clean, welcoming, and provided ample room for our family of five. It had everything we needed and more. Standout features included the relaxing hot tub after long daily walks, the attached garage with an automatic opener—which kept our vehicle cool and protected from the heat—and the pristine, clear night skies ideal for stargazing. Thank you for a fantastic stay!

We used this home as our base camp for visiting the national parks, and it worked perfectly for our family of nine. The layout was spacious and comfortable, and every bedroom having its own bathroom (plus an extra powder room) made getting ready each day so easy. The kids especially loved the bunk room, and we all appreciated how close the playground, pickleball court, and pool were — such a convenient bonus for downtime between outings. Jeff was a fantastic host — very responsive and available every step of the way. His communication made the whole experience smooth and stress‑free, which we truly appreciated. The home was well‑designed for a large group, and we had a great stay. One small suggestion: adding a dresser in the second suite would make it easier to put clothes away for a week‑long visit. Overall, this was a wonderful home for our trip, and we would happily stay again.

This house was great for our family during our recent stay to the area. It is a quick drive to town. The bedrooms were spacious. Our kids loved the outdoor playground area and pickleball. lt was nice to have the pool so close. Host was very responsive. We’d gladly stay again in the area.

Great location very close to all the national parks! Very private yard!

This is a beautiful and cozy home with lots of fun amenities for the kids. The hot tub was wonderful and easy to use, the community pool was lots of fun, and we made use of the bbq grill in the backyard. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We had easy access for Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Highly recommend Jeff’s place as home base for the area!

The place was very spacious. The pool and jacuzzi were great for the kids. Had pretty much everything you would need to cook with. I would definitely stay here again.
