Great home, great management! Perfect stay!
We often utilize rental homes on vacation, and this one by far was the best stocked home we have rented. We had everything we needed! We enjoyed the view from the back porch in the morning with our coffee, and the evening as well. The neighborhood is very quite, and the town of Kanab is quite interesting. It was a great location for visiting Zion, and so many other attractions in the area. You don't have to worry about any issues you may have going unresolved because we contacted the owner/management regarding one small issue, that we didn't expect them to respond to that evening, we just wanted some guidance on how to handle it, but they had it taken care of in minutes. Well done all the way around!!

This house was perfect down to every detail. The house had plenty of linens, condiments, and even toiletries if you happened to leave something behind. The location was ideal for many great hikes in the area including The Wave and Buckskin Gulch.
