About this property

This historical property has been updated from the inside out. Built in 1904 by the Wilson family, one of the very first families to settle LaVerkin. It is one of the oldest Pioneer homes in all of Southern Utah.

This one bedroom, one bath structure is a combination of adobe brick and stick frame construction. The outside of the building has been left primarily untouched to maintain its historical integrity but has been updated inside to accommodate the modern traveler.

*Please note our weather is similar Las Vegas Nevada, not Northern Utah. We have such amazing weather to come and experience the great Zion National Park!! (July and August ARE hot- But Zion has water hikes!)
*We are open year round

AMAZING

Hands down the best experience I've had out of anywhere I've ever stayed. Liz is an amazing host. I told her I was bringing my girlfriend to Zion to propose and she not only gave me a list of amazing locations, while we were gone she decorated for me to surprise my now fiance. This litte house is quiet, private, clean, and up to date. Cant wait to stay here again.

Such a cute little cabin

The trip was perfect for me and my wife! The cabin was great for two people but I wouldn't want to go to far over that number. The host was very friendly and nice and was prompt with communication. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would book a stay again if we are in the area.

Cute, Quiet, and Comfortable!

This was our home base for our four-day trip to Zion. The location was extremely convenient when we needed to head back to the cabin, which was equipped with AC and was perfect to escape the heat.The kitchen was perfect for making our own meals and was stocked with all the basic pots/dishes/paper towel you need. We shopped for groceries at Lin's in Hurricane, which was a much closer commute than we expected.The interior of the cabin was very comfortable and had a great porch view of a mountain. The bathroom was gorgeous and stocked with complimentary shampoo, soap, and conditioner.We recommend this place to anyone staying in the area, especially if traveling to Zion! We would love to stay here again someday.

Great place to explore Zion!

This was a lovely place to rest after our long hikes and exploration of Zion National Park and the surrounding area! A cozy little respite perfectly located just enough off the beaten trail to feel out of the touristy fray.

Cute little cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic cabin. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed, including being able to cook meals, and do a load of laundry. The bed was very comfortable as well. We appreciated the responsiveness of the owners with any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much! Sue and Pat ~ from Maine

Communication What’s That?

There was no communication about access to the property unit 3:30 in the afternoon the next day! No back up plan, VRBO was of absolutely no help and the customer service with VRBO was terrible. The Host voicemail went right to VM and there was no monitoring of that. Then the host assumed that I was going to stay there the next night when there had been no communication and no access for the first night of the stay. I saw all the good reviews. Maybe this is a one off. But make sure you understand how you get access into the room before you go because there is no consideration. VRBO was of no use and I had to dispute the charges with my Credit Card Company. Because they also take no responsibility.

Fun find

It is an adorable little cabin and we really enjoyed our time there. There’s a cute little book on the history of the cabin and provide nuts from their trees. It’s perfect for a couple get away and close to Zion.

Hidden Gem

The property is beautiful. The historic cabin has been beautifully preserved and furnished. A lovely hard cover book detailing all the important things to know about the area along with a history of the family is very informative. The hosts are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

Wonderful stay!

We had an excellent trip staying at this small cabin for my husband and I. We hiked at a bunch of National Parks (Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Red Rocks) and all were 2.5 hours or less away, this cabin was in an excellent location. The cabin itself was clean and well thought out. We would absolutely stay again!

Perfect for Anniversary Celebration Trip!

This cabin is adorable! The details in the restoration and the decor made it feel so cozy and like home! The bed was fabulously comfortable. Just a short drive to Zion, it was the perfect location for our adventures as well as for enjoying some local flavor upon our return each night. Loved the access to a W/D, too! Highly recommend for a couples getaway!

Adorable, Conveniently-Located Cabin, but HOT in the Summer

Overall, this cabin was great for our trip to Zion, as it's only 20-25 minutes from the entrance. It's decorated very cute, equipped with basic kitchen amenities, and was the perfect size for the two of us. We did have a few issues: It was as hot as 115 degrees while we were there and the house only has a small window unit in the living room and it wasn't on when we first arrived. The bedroom was too hot for my husband to sleep comfortably, so he slept on the pull-in twin couch next to the AC each night. We did find a small fan for the bedroom and that helped slightly. Since we spent most of our time exploring the park, this wasn't a deal-breaker, but I feel like it needs to be called out for summer vacationers. A few smaller things - there were no trash bags, so we had to use the plastic bags from our store trip for all of our trash. There was only 1 roll of toilet paper for 3 nights, so we ran out by the time we left. I was drying my hair in the living room the morning we left (the bathroom was too hot) and it blew a fuse, thus we lost power in the entire living room including the AC unit. I messaged the host right away and she texted me back about 3 hours later. Since we were checking out, it wasn't a big deal, but it would've been an issue to lose power/AC for that long if we had another night there. Ultimately, we had a fabulous time and these issues didn't affect our enjoyment of the trip and the AMAZING location, but I wanted to leave an honest review.
