About this property

Nestled in Redrocks near Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell & Best Friends

You’ll love our home because it is the ideal place to recharge and rejuvenate, a sanctuary right in the heart of nature, yet still in town. You'll enjoy the coziness, views and the classic vintage feel. Our place is good for couples, adventurers, writers and artists, business travelers, and families with kids. We are close to multiple national and state parks, the library, local hiking trails, the city pool and town park, restaurants and dining, and many family-friendly activities. We have created our space to be a peaceful spot filled with natures beauty right out your backdoor. We invite you to enjoy the stillness after the bustle of your days busy exploring.

We are a block away from a great hiking trail. The Squaw Trail is a great morning or evening hike to catch the sunrise or sunset and is a great place to pause & reflect as it overlooks the town. The same trailhead also provides access to a great singletrack mountain biking trail that runs through the box canyon right behind our house. Being so close to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and all the amazing national and state parks is a real treat. Our space is peaceful and in a great location. Truly a battery recharger.

The rental unit is the lower half of our split-level home with a private entrance down a few steps on the left side (when facing it from the street). We occupy the upper half and may be there during your visit but we also travel a lot and may not be around. We really hope you enjoy the space and look forward to your stay with us.

Please be aware that we have dogs on property. Dogs bark, so if you are easily annoyed by barking dogs this may not be the right spot for you.

We now offer an easy-to-use electric barbecue grill and a shaded picnic table.

Please note that we currently do provide free wifi!
Access will be given in welcome message.

We are an energy-conscious household and as such our water heater powers off during peak (expensive) times which are 6 to 11 AM from October through March, and 4 to 10 PM from April through September. That said, it’s a 50 gallon tank which is generally adequate for multiple showers. If more hot water is needed during those times you can easily turn on the manual switch next to the hot water heater in the laundry room.

The TV is newly added so please ask if you have any questions. There is no cable or local channels but there are apps for Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. (you’ll need to use your own accounts) plus a free movie app. Be sure to log out of any of your accounts before you leave.

When checking out, please lock the door and turn the thermostat off.
During your stay at this guesthouse, you're just a quick walk from Kanab City Park. Features include free WiFi in public areas.
  • Free Wi-Fi in some public areas
  • Steps from Kanab City Park and 9 minutes on foot from Kane County Hospital
Nestled in Redrocks near Zion, Bryce, Grand Canyon, Lake Powell & Best Friends offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. Public spaces have free WiFi.

Great place to stay
The location was perfect for volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and for visiting the surrounding parks. The backyard view of the red rock was stunning! The beds were comfortable and there was ample space to move around. It was nice to be able to cook meals to eat in. The description is accurate with specific details regarding the unit.

Great spot for National Park Exploring
The rental is in the lower floor of the house. It was well maintained. Kitchen had all the hardware to cook with. The backyard and trails within walking distance were stunning. Kanab good be a mini National Park by itself with the sand caves, trails to dinosaur tracks, etc. Its location to Zion, Bryce, and Grand Canyon (North Rim) made it a perfect spot for our young family. Thanks so much to the owners of this property. Im ready to buy a property here myself!

What a great backyard view!
The location in front of a beautiful red rock wall was great. Kanab is a fun little town with some pretty nice restaurants! Our suite was very clean and well equipped. The owners were there above us but made so little noise that we hardly knew they were there. Decor was great and everything was in good working order. Thank you very much! We recommend!

Unfriendly
I had smoked outside when I first arrived. I even brought my own ashtray then I read the book of rules. No smoking even outside so I sent a message apologizing for doing so and no response. I sent it twice and still no response. Saw the woman that ran it with him. She didn’t even acknowledge us. A/c was on a timer so it got stuffy had to turn it down then it went back to schedule which was set at 83. Uncomfortable feeling like we were intruding on their space.

Good location to stay for visiting both Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks
April 21-24, 2023. Nice quiet property in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Picnic table and chairs outdoors were great for relaxing in late afternoon/evening. The town of Kanab had some really good restaurants. The travel time to Zion was short and a beautiful drive. The drive to Bryce Canyon was a little longer but offered the opportunity to see more of the landscape and scenery. All in all, a very satisfying stay and experience for my husband and me.

Great location and well stocked
Here's my review wording: We enjoyed the location which was perfect for our various planned hikes. Kitchen was well stocked, plenty of towels and cleaning products. The only surprise was that the "guest house" was actually a basement apartment in a house. We had envisioned a separate dwelling. But we had a section of the backyard with its beautiful view and a separate entrance It isn't really below grade so there's plenty of natural light. There are three dogs on the property but barking was not an issue for us at all. It was very quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable.

Great Home Base for Exploring Utah
Great location, lovely backyard with great hiking right behind, fully stocked kitchen and bathroom, very easy check-in and out. You can tell there are people above you with pets, but we knew that when we booked and it wasn’t a big deal; it was generally quiet.

home base for hiking
We stayed here in the middle of our hiking trip. It’s 90 minutes to Bryce Canyon and less than an hour to Zion. The backyard view is spectacular. We were only there in the evenings for sleeping but it was exactly what we needed. Ate breakfast and packed our lunch every day. Grocery store is only five minutes away. Owners live on the other half of the house so we could hear some walking above in the mornings and the dogs barking… but overall a great stay. .

The inside is pretty standard and bare (although it had everything we needed), but the backyard is absolutely stunning. We could not have had a better view. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. Perfect distance from both Bryce Canyon and Zion which is where we hiked

Perfect simple abode for exploring
This is a perfect rental for a small family who is spending time in the area and looking for a base for local parks. It's not a fancy dwelling, it's simple and cozy, but if you're planning on spending most of your time outside at Zion or the Grand Canyon or Bryce Canyon, this is a perfect rental - all of your needs are met and their rules for checking in and out are as simple as they get.
