Great Place for a Couple
The property was very clean, and nicely appointed. The living room couch was very comfortable (which I often find is not the case in other rentals). My husband and I enjoyed our stay, and would recommend the place. No charge for our pet, which we appreciated.

Perfect spot for parks
So peaceful! We originally picked Hurricane to stay, but realized it would be a little too warm so I looked for a place higher in elevation and am so happy to find this one! Our first day we explored around Cedar City and the next day went to Zion. After we returned each day we sat in the shade of the beautiful yard. We cooked all our meals in the home and nothing is missing. Thank you Gerardo for a perfect place to stay !

Great place to stay
This is a newly remodeled, clean space with plenty of room. We stayed just one night, so we didn’t have a chance to use the well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is spacious with a very nice shower. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. The location is great and there’s a lovely view. I look forward to staying here again.

This property was the nicest of all we stayed at during our 5 day trek to the east coast. The property was modern, clean. Roomy, and the backyard was absolutely beautiful and such a joyful place for our pups to run around such a great value, and very attentive, yet hands off owners who are looking out for your most comfortable stay. This property is A+++ 👏👏 Call

We loved the Fortress! Very clean, cozy the location is great. The hosts were amazing as well. My dog really loved the yard. having canyon park and walking trails across the street was way convenient. I think we found our new favorite place to stay when we do visit again.

Convenient clean comfortable
Rental is in a quiet residential neighborhood with ready access to the downtown, to the Shakespeare Festival, and to the Dixie National Forest and Cedar Breaks. The unit is bright, airy, and spacious. Kitchen is fully equipped. The deck is pleasant for morning coffee or for sitting in the evening. Having a garage for your car is a bonus as the afternoons can get quite warm. My wife and I stayed here for four nights but it would be comfortable for a longer stay.
