About this property

Gorgeous 5-Star Chalet Mid-way Between Bryce & Zion - Read our reviews!

This beautiful home is ideally located in the heart of ”Color Country” almost exactly between Bryce - 37 miles away (to the Northeast) and Zion National Park - 36 miles (to the Southwest). Situated at approx. 7000 feet (its cooler at this elevation!) the home is surrounded by the Dixie National Forest.

Treat yourself to luxury in a wooded rural setting. 2556 square feet includes 3 bedrooms plus a loft, 2 full size bathrooms - all nice sized rooms. Huge wall of windows in the spacious living area! Floor to ceiling stone fireplace with unique log mantel. Attention to detail and upgrades throughout this gorgeous chalet-style cabin. Beautiful handmade red cedar countertops, custom wood walls & flooring throughout. Oversized slate tile and plush carpeting. Large gourmet kitchen with all the cooking utensils, appliances, dishes, pots & pans, and spices you'll need. Guests love this home and appreciate how clean it is and in return they treat it with loving care - read our reviews! Just stop at the store on the way up to buy groceries, drinks & firewood. Park inside in the roomy 2-car garage and you're home.

Southern Utah is home to some of the most unique geologic formations in the world. Illustrating this vast terrain of twisting canyons and red rock plateaus are five of America's most magnificent nation parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National Parks. Offering breathtaking overviews, brilliant red rock sunsets and adventure-filled hiking trails, the parks also offer the opportunity for exhilarating relaxation. Utah's parks are located in close proximity to one another so it is easy to visit them all in a single trip. Alternatively, each park makes a great destination in its own right; you can spend several days exploring a Utah national park and still want to see more of its wonders.

Access to miles and miles of hiking and ATV trails, fly fishing plus stream & lake fishing on the Asay & Mammoth Creeks or nearby lakes are all yours to enjoy. Panguitch Lake, Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake, Cedar Breaks and Brian Head Resort & Duck Creek Village are each less than 45 minutes away.

Beautiful Chalet and Wonderful Location

I would highly recommend this property if you plan on hiking Zion, Bryce, Red Canyon, etc. It's a very comfortable chalet and well appointed. Be sure to stop and a larger city to get groceries/supplies as there are only small convenience stores close by. We used the Wal-Mart in Cedar City on our way to chalet (about 50 minutes away).

Wonderful Family Vacation

This property was amazing and a great base for Zion and Bryce NPs. We stayed at 2 other properties before this one on our trip through Arizona and this was definitely the family favorite. We enjoyed the spaciousness, the ping pong table, the firepit and the large family and kitchen area. All the kitchen extras and the supply of basics was much appreciated as well. We used the cooler from the garage daily. Highly recommend to families.

We enjoyed our stay. Location was great for all the places we planned to visit. Zion NP, Bryce Canyon, the Hoover Dam and much more. The kitchen in the home was very well stocked. The closed in garage was nice to have. Weather was great, overall an enjoyable vacation.

Awesome house with great location

We loved the house and location. The house is very clean and well stocked. We had little question during the stay, Rudi responded really quickly. House is in quiet neighborhood, 40 minutes away from Bryce and an hour away from Zion. Highly recommended.

Zion and Bryce National Parks

We choose this "chalet" for its proximity to Zion and Bryce National Parks. That worked out well since it takes about 40 to 45 minutes to get to both National Parks. So that's definitely a plus. The house itself had all the accommodations needed for our stay. However, the house is a bit dated and could benefit from some renovations.

Great house near Zion

We really enjoyed our 4 night stay in this quiet, spacious home. The kitchen was well equipped and the pantry was surprisingly filled with spices and basic items need for cooking at home. The bedrooms had comfortable mattresses and bedding. The entire second floor was the master bedroom suite. It was very spacious and was a wonderful arrangement. The full sized porch on the back of the house was perfect for morning and afternoon quiet time. If you are planning to visit the national parks, the house is perfectly located for easy traveling to and from.

Great location!

This home has everything you could need to cook your own meals. It was only 30-40 minutes from Bryce Canyon. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to find. I love all the trees around the property so that you feel some privacy and that you are in the forest. The fire pit outside was a fun experience too.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Our biggest plus was that it is between two beautiful National Parks- Bryce and Zion. It was very well stocked with all the kitchen supplies and even some tea, coffee, sugar and other condiments and spices that saved us a lot of money so we appreciated that. Grocery is right around the corner but hours are tricky. Beds were very comfortable and star gazing was awesome. We would definitely recommend.

Awesome House for Exploring the National Parks!

Beautiful home centrally located between Zion and Bryce National Parks. Clean, comfortable, and a great place to relax after a day in the parks. Well stocked on essentials and so many extras to help make your stay fun and unforgettable (ping pong table, games, fire pit). Our family had a great stay in this house and would love to visit again one day. GREAT LOCATION!

Perfect place to stay if visiting Bryce and Zion

Convenient spot about 45 minute drive from both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. It is easy to find, and the drive getting up to the cabin was filled with spectacular views. Our family spent three nights here during our “out west” vacation this June, and this cabin served as our favorite accommodations along our journey. The big tall windows allowed wonderful views of the night sky. The master suite was huge and everyone enjoyed spending some time in the spacious master bathroom. The owners were very responsive when we had a question. We highly recommend this as a place to stay if this part of Utah is in your travel plans.

Beautiful chalet between Zion and Bryce canyons.

The home was cozy and inviting. Tastefully decorated and loved the log lodge look. It was April but still had lots of snow surrounding the home. Would have loved to have been able to enjoy the fire pit and the back patio but the snow is too deep and the temp chilly. The kitchen was well equipped and the front room had huge windows for viewing the night sky and the surrounding forest. It was a great stay!

What a wonderful cabin !

We came to Utah on a 2 week vacation with 3 children. We stayed at 3 cabins as we went to various parts of the state. This cabin by far was the best . It was stocked with everything you can need for cooking, bathing even tons of board games! Bert and Rudi also were very prompt with answering our questions. This has been by far the best cabin I have ever stayed at with VRBO and I use them a lot!!

This cabin is spacious and cozy at the same time.

We enjoyed and loved this cabin. More than met our expectations as well from warm water to the decor and the main guest room and bath being upstairs was beautiful. Only hiccup was initial entry . Hosts responded right away and friendly. We are hoping to make an annual stay. Thank you
