About this property

Gorgeous 5-Star Chalet Mid-way Between Bryce & Zion - Read our reviews!

This beautiful home is ideally located in the heart of ”Color Country” almost exactly between Bryce - 37 miles away (to the Northeast) and Zion National Park - 36 miles (to the Southwest). Situated at approx. 7000 feet (its cooler at this elevation!) the home is surrounded by the Dixie National Forest.

Treat yourself to luxury in a wooded rural setting. 2556 square feet includes 3 bedrooms plus a loft, 2 full size bathrooms - all nice sized rooms. Huge wall of windows in the spacious living area! Floor to ceiling stone fireplace with unique log mantel. Attention to detail and upgrades throughout this gorgeous chalet-style cabin. Beautiful handmade red cedar countertops, custom wood walls & flooring throughout. Oversized slate tile and plush carpeting. Large gourmet kitchen with all the cooking utensils, appliances, dishes, pots & pans, and spices you'll need. Guests love this home and appreciate how clean it is and in return they treat it with loving care - read our reviews! Just stop at the store on the way up to buy groceries, drinks & firewood. Park inside in the roomy 2-car garage and you're home.

Southern Utah is home to some of the most unique geologic formations in the world. Illustrating this vast terrain of twisting canyons and red rock plateaus are five of America's most magnificent nation parks: Zion, Bryce Canyon, Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National Parks. Offering breathtaking overviews, brilliant red rock sunsets and adventure-filled hiking trails, the parks also offer the opportunity for exhilarating relaxation. Utah's parks are located in close proximity to one another so it is easy to visit them all in a single trip. Alternatively, each park makes a great destination in its own right; you can spend several days exploring a Utah national park and still want to see more of its wonders.

Access to miles and miles of hiking and ATV trails, fly fishing plus stream & lake fishing on the Asay & Mammoth Creeks or nearby lakes are all yours to enjoy. Panguitch Lake, Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake, Cedar Breaks and Brian Head Resort & Duck Creek Village are each less than 45 minutes away.

Gorgeous Winter Retreat
My family of 5 stayed here to take the kids to play in the snow for the first time and we had the most amazing time. We only wish it had been a longer trip and hope to return for another time. The house is gorgeous and looks like a cabin on the inside which my kids thought was very cool. The accommodations are so comfortable, roomy and clean. The community is very quiet and friendly, with plenty of places to play in the snow for the kids. The host Rudi and Bert are so helpful and responsive by email, the instructions for finding and accessing the home were very clear and concise. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home to make lasting memories!

Utah Dream Getaway
This Utah mountain side retreat was a perfect location for our family to spend time remembering my mother and realizing her dream of visiting the National Parks there. The home provided us a safe place to rest and recharge each night, share a meal, and visualize my mother’s presence. She would have loved the wood paneling, deer visioning us and the fire pit.

Perfect Bryce Vacation
We loved coming back to this beautiful home after our days at Bryce National Park. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and beautiful living area. Loved using the speakers for music and having access to many channels on the TV. Communication was great with the owners. This was one of our favorite rentals and would love to come back sometime soon.

Great spacious with a few opportunities to be even better
Great location as a home base for visiting Bryce Canyon and Zion National Parks. The listing photos are accurate- large, spacious log home lots of room to spread out and kitchen was well stocked. If not for nearby neighbor, view would be even better, but nice work to camouflage as much as possible for a good feeling of privacy. A couple of improvement opportunities: fire pit wood benches have protruding hardwood, spotty WiFi, and squeaky ceiling fans.Owners were very responsive offering suggestions for WiFi.

Perfect Zion and Bryce Canyon location
We had a fantastic time at the beautiful house. It was the perfect spot to launch day trips to Zion or Bryce. The house included everything you could need in terms of amenities. Bert and Rudi were great hosts and the check-in and check-out process was very easy. We will definitely use this location again the next time we are in the area.

Beautiful Chalet and Wonderful Location
I would highly recommend this property if you plan on hiking Zion, Bryce, Red Canyon, etc. It's a very comfortable chalet and well appointed. Be sure to stop and a larger city to get groceries/supplies as there are only small convenience stores close by. We used the Wal-Mart in Cedar City on our way to chalet (about 50 minutes away).

Wonderful Family Vacation
This property was amazing and a great base for Zion and Bryce NPs. We stayed at 2 other properties before this one on our trip through Arizona and this was definitely the family favorite. We enjoyed the spaciousness, the ping pong table, the firepit and the large family and kitchen area. All the kitchen extras and the supply of basics was much appreciated as well. We used the cooler from the garage daily. Highly recommend to families.

Zion and Bryce National Parks
We choose this "chalet" for its proximity to Zion and Bryce National Parks. That worked out well since it takes about 40 to 45 minutes to get to both National Parks. So that's definitely a plus. The house itself had all the accommodations needed for our stay. However, the house is a bit dated and could benefit from some renovations.

Great house near Zion
We really enjoyed our 4 night stay in this quiet, spacious home. The kitchen was well equipped and the pantry was surprisingly filled with spices and basic items need for cooking at home. The bedrooms had comfortable mattresses and bedding. The entire second floor was the master bedroom suite. It was very spacious and was a wonderful arrangement. The full sized porch on the back of the house was perfect for morning and afternoon quiet time. If you are planning to visit the national parks, the house is perfectly located for easy traveling to and from.

Great location!
This home has everything you could need to cook your own meals. It was only 30-40 minutes from Bryce Canyon. The neighborhood was quiet and easy to find. I love all the trees around the property so that you feel some privacy and that you are in the forest. The fire pit outside was a fun experience too.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Our biggest plus was that it is between two beautiful National Parks- Bryce and Zion. It was very well stocked with all the kitchen supplies and even some tea, coffee, sugar and other condiments and spices that saved us a lot of money so we appreciated that. Grocery is right around the corner but hours are tricky. Beds were very comfortable and star gazing was awesome. We would definitely recommend.
