We stayed for 3 nights, and it was a great spot for a family of 4 while visiting Zion and Bryce Canyon NP. The house is easy to find, especially if you are traveling in to Glendale from the north.
Glendale does not have much in terms of services. The General Store closes at 6 or 7pm (and doesn't open until 8:30am), so if you need any supplies, you need to bring them or prepare to drive to Orderville or Mt. Carmel (10 -15 minutes down the road). The best local food option IMO is Archie's Food Truck, which closes at 8pm. Otherwise, your best bets are in Springdale after visiting Zion or in Tropic after visiting Bryce Canyon, or driving to Kanab (30 mins). We opted for early dinners in Springdale after visiting Zion and a late lunch in Tropic after Bryce Canyon.
There are not a lot of other options for families between Zion and Bryce Canyon.
