Amazing stay at Grand Ranch
We had the best time staying at the Grand Ranch. It was perfect for our family of 4 and we were able to see and feed the cows, goats, sheep and more with the treats that were provided. My kids favorite part was being able to purchase the small highland cow stuffie that was provided on their beds. They loved every bit of their stay and kept asking why we had to go home. We will definately be staying again!

One of a kind, stunning and perfect for children - I want one for myself!
Brandon & Hollie's property is built with their love and passion and is evident to see. Set in a beautiful location in southern Utah in the most romantic setting with stunning views all around. We booked specifically for the USP of sharing the mini ranch with the animals for our two year old and he absolutely fell in love. He loved feeding the cows in the back yard and playing and stroking the kittens. For the adults we enjoyed the fire pit and the most beautiful property to rest up for a few days on a road trip - our only disappointment is that we didn't book to stay longer we were almost in tears to have to leave and continue our journey. It was beautifully decorated for fall/harvest/Halloween and it is refreshing to see the amount of care and attention the whole family put into this rental. It was just picture perfect for us, in an ideal location for Cedar City to the North and Hurricane and Sand Hollow to the south. It really is awe inspiring and you should have no doubt about booking to experience this little haven. Thank you so much for allowing us to share this vision and dream with you and we hope to return - it blew away our expectations and the communication from the hosts from booking, staying, departing was second to none. Excellent and we really felt part fo your family and home there - thank you.

An Absolutely Grand Ranch
My boyfriend and I loved The Grand Ranch so much that we plan on coming back with more friends next year. The unit was beautiful and so comfortable. Brandon and Hollie are amazing hosts, they’ve put their hearts into this adventure and it shows. I highly recommend this stay. Feeding the cows through your kitchen was a memorable experience and gosh, are they cute. Brandon recommended some great local hikes and they give you everything you need to know in a book when you arrive. Absolutely worth it and an overall wonderful experience. Thank you Brandon and Hollie, for providing us such a great place to celebrate our engagement ❤️

Relaxing stay
This was a great place to stay. It was very relaxing being in a country setting, great setup, love the animals. We had some rain late in the day, but it allowed us to see a double rainbow over the mountain range. It was awesome! We enjoyed everything this little farm had to offer. Thanks for sharing it with us, the Farrells from Broken Arrow OK.

National Park Getaway
Kids and I spent a week in the farm house with the animals while we split time between Bryce Canyon and Zion. The place was unreal and it was an experience onto itself. The Owner's are super responsive and the place is new and in great condition. It became our home away from home and as much fun as the parks we were able to visit during our stay.

Super fun family farmhouse
We came down to Kanarraville to hike the falls and the narrows in Zion, but the highlight of our trip for the kids may have been staying so close to all the animals. Not everyday you can wake up and have a cow staring at you in the window when you eat breakfast! Awesome experience for these city kids!

Awesome Zion Area Cabin with Cute Critters!
Cabin was perfectly appointed and spotless. It was perfect for a family of three or four. We used the cabin as a base camp for trips into Zion, to hike Kanarra Falls, go canyoneering in Monument Canyon, visit Cedar City and more. It was nice to get away from the mass of humanity in Zion and come back to the peace and quiet of the cabin. We loved having the cows and other critters to feed and interact with. They were so friendly and fun to be around. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!!!
My friends and I had the most amazing experience at the ranch!! It felt like a home away from home! Everything was very clean and inviting. We loved going in the hot tub every night with the great views of the mountains! To say we fell in love with Pippi and Hazel (the cows) would be an understatement! So cool to wake up and feed them from the window, they were the sweetest!! Our host was so extremely nice! He Gave us recommendations and even cleared our car of snow from the winter storm in the morning! They made the stay feel even better! We HIGHLY recommend staying at the Grand Ranch!!!

Great Adventure!
What a great adventure for those looking for one! After spending a few nights in Vegas for business, our family of 4 ventured on to the second leg of our trip, the vacation part. We had wanted to stay somewhere that wasn’t congested with tourists and noise. This was perfect! We stayed in the camper for 2 nights. It is parked right on the owner’s property but also is private and the view goes on and on. We were hoping for a great family vacation and got just that. Days were spent hiking and evenings my kids spent every moment with the animals on the farm. The camper was spacious. The master bed was comfortable. Everything was in order and worked nicely. If there was anything to recommend, it might be including a blow dryer. I know this is an unnecessary item for most who camp and I got along fine without. We also loved the quaint town of Kanarraville. There is a place called The Snackery that was open during our July visit and we loved the kind staff as they would refill our water bottles before and after our hikes (of course we ordered foods each time we visited). We loved their delicious hot dogs and tasty ice cream! We also had dinner both nights at the local Linski’s Grill and Hotel, which serves a decent casual menu. We all ordered burgers and fries. It was nice having a place to eat so close by that was both inexpensive and didn’t require a change of clothes and shower in order to feel comfortable to enter. This family vacation was another favorite for the books! Thank you!

Great location for our family of 8 to stay in between visits to Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. The trailer had everything we needed, and we loved lodging on the 40-acre ranch with the beautiful stars at night and the variety of animals to play with during the day. One of the best parts was the conversations with the property owners who were so kind and hospitable. Thanks for making our stay so enjoyable!

About the host

Hosted by Brandon

Host profile image
Brandon and Hollie, and our 5 children, have a family motto: "FIND ADVENTURE". We have traveled with our kids extensively in North America, including all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and several countries in Central America, Asia, and Europe. We love all things outdoors including, mountain biking, dirt motorcycles, hiking, backpacking, white water rafting/kayaking, rappelling, boating, snow skiing, camping and anything else that pushes our limits! We enjoy meeting others and love how different all people can be!

We are currently beginning a new Adventure: Building a Hobby Farm and Miniature Highland Cattle Ranch. We hope you'll come for a visit to meet our Miniature Highland Cows and growing collection of other farm animals. Oh, and us too! See you soon!

Why they chose this property

Kanarraville Utah is such a beautiful and serene part of our country. Nestled just outside the mountains and Cliffs of Zion National Park, the scenery and location for outdoor fun is incredible. With all 4 seasons, there is plenty to do here year round. The Grand Ranch is located just north of this quiet town of 400 hundred residents, and about 10 minutes south from Cedar City, Utah, with all the shopping and amenities you may need during your stay with us.

We purchased this 40 Acre sheep field in May of 2021 as a bare piece of dirt with only 1 tree. Brandon is the one-man-show in developing our ranch. There has been nothing done here he didn't do! From trenching wires and laying fence, to building these guest homes, everything shows his hard work and skill. (Hollie bragging here! And the kids helped too!)

Hollie can't stop herself from buying animals. She has replaced going to the gym with mucking stalls and turning compost. Her favorite thing (other than collecting animals) is sharing these beautiful and fun creatures with others.

Our current menagerie includes: Highland cattle, Alpaca, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, chickens, dogs, kittens...and, oh yes, human kids too.

We moved to this quaint little town of Kanarraville, UT to escape the hustle of everyday life. Now we're busier than ever...but in a different way, and we love being connected to each other, our kids, our animals, and neighbors. We hope you'll come share this simple, happy life with us too!

We know you'll fall in love with this little corner of the world. We promise we wont make you do any farm chores, and you can relax in the simplistic beauty of country life. What are you waiting for? Welcome to The Grand Ranch!

What makes this property unique

The Grand Ranch is a unique and special place to visit. You get the opportunity to grow with us as every day things change around here. From our cattle and sheep ranching heritage, to our newly planted orchard, you get to enjoy the beauty of being on a working Farm and Ranch...without all the work!

Enjoy our animals! You can feed the cattle treats over your private back patio fence. Or just watch as they play and nap in the pasture of your 'back-yard!' The goat pen is a shared area available to guests who want to play with and feed the goats.

If you're looking for a relaxing a quiet getaway, this is the place! If you're looking for outdoor adventure and exploration, there is plenty do just outside our front gate. Kanarraville is nestled right up against the back-door of Zion! And you know what they say...'Backdoor friends are best!' We agree! Once you've been to this beautiful spot of the world, you'll never want to leave again.
