Small (cozy) place to rest your head in Cedar City

The place was clean, easy to find, and easy to check in to. The bedrooms and bathroom were as described, and the kitchen was fully functional. The swamp cooler unit was very noisy and did a good job of cooling the main spaces, but the bedrooms were a bit stuffy. The photos of the "backyard" were misleading, because they appear to be part of the neighboring unit, and not part of the Zen Den. Fortunately, we found a park a few blocks away where we were able to walk our dogs. While the location worked for our one-night stay, we would probably choose some of the other places in Cedar City where we have stayed on other occasions if we were to travel here again.

It Was Awesome!

If travelers to Cedar City are searching for a property that is incredibly clean, has a wonderful location along with a host who communicates with his guests - this is the place to reserve! The location is perfect-walking distance to Cedar City Downtown with its shops and restaurants. More important, this home is spotlessly clean and provides wonderful, comfortable beds and bedding for guests. Finally, Gerardo is a perfect host. He provided us with clear check-in instructions, activity suggestions for the area and check-out guidelines. We were fortunate to find this property and hope to return!

Very comfortable

Initially we were disappointed as the photos made it seem much more rural and country than the actual location is. But we can’t complain about the accommodations. Very pretty and well decorated. We just didn’t read thoroughly, just judged by the photos.

A tranquil atmosphere

I couldn’t be happier with my stay at the Zen Den. The space is a perfect place to find your inner peace and indulge in rest and relaxation. The space was very clean, well maintained, and fully stocked. The host Gerardo was extremely helpful throughout the entire process, from booking through checkout, and he is dedicated to helping you have the most enjoyable stay possible. I highly recommend the Zen Den if you need a place to stay in Cedar City!

Perfect Cedar City Stay

We were extremely happy with our stay. The location was perfect for us and our two furry babies. We felt safe walking the streets at night for the late night/too early, sun still not up potty breaks. There is a park across the street and a trail around the corner. Everything we needed could be found within a one mile radius. That allowed us to take a walk or hop in the car if we were feeling lazy. The place was clean and had all we needed. The front porch was a great place to relax. We didn’t use the loft, but it looks like a cute place for kids. There is a lot of space in the house. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bathroom was clean and has ample counter and cabinet space. There is also a laundry area with a washer and dryer (we didn’t use). The hosts were responsive and helpful.
