Great spot near Zion

Property owners are awesome. Great location near Zion. But we also wanted to explore other areas so made a great home base and more convenient than Springdale if you are going places in the area other than Zion.

Wonderful

Beautiful home, great views, cozy space. Steve greeted us and gave a bit of advice on the area. Convenient drive to Zion and nice to have a little reprieve from the crowds in Springdale. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A peacefull Location by Zion Park

Steve and Deb are your perfect Hosts! Their home is in a beautiful location in a quiet area, so you can relax and enjoy the serenity of the faraway shades of the red cliffs cutting through the horizon, the sunsets and sunrises, and the stars. From the property, you can walk down to the Virgin River which by the way, flows down to Lake Mead, Arizona. The upstair bedroom with plenty of windows provides an exceptional view of the cliffs cutting through the horizon, giving you perfect photos for your Western look. Not to forget Henry the friendly dog that may accompany you on the trail with his tail constantly wagging with happiness just being with you. The house is fully equipped, very comfortable, and cozy. Try to go to Kolob Terrace Rd, not known to the tourists, right on 9, 1/4 mile left from the 700W. It will take you to 2,500 ft and show you another side of Zion, sunsets with the red rocks are amazing, and the prairies with plenty of deers. We stayed there for one week and enjoyed every single day.

Great remote house to stay in for Zion

We loved our stay and the owners were very nice and helpful. The house location feels very remote but just a short drive to Zion. We enjoyed walking down to the nearby virgin river. The owner’s dog even went with us. The property was very clean. We would stay here again.

Overall good stay. Views are great from property. I would too much furniture at ground floor. I like walking inside home a bit. Also Blanket could have been cleaned and they didn't smell fresh.

About the host

Hosted by Steve & Deb Masefield

We are British by birth and are now dual American and British citizens. We have lived in the shadow of Zion since 2002.
We built and designed (with help of course) this house ourselves.
We both owned a B&B in Springdale (Zion gateway town) and understand (most) travelers needs !
Deb is an accomplished artist using mixed media.
Steve is a retired computer nerd & ex teacher who is now focusing on rebuilding antique cars !

Why they chose this property

This house is set in one of the most amazing view points in the area. We have views of Zion for sunrise and sunset. It's not a party house and is in a quiet neighborhood.
Our location is central to many nearby National Parks and can be used as a base for the "Grand Tour Experience" or just hanging out away from the bustle of everyday life.
There are 3 lakes within 15 miles, offering water activities (fishing and swimming) should that appeal, as well as multiple golf courses.
Hiking on our doorstep was big appeal as was the privacy and solitude offered by being away from the bustle and noise of Springdale where we once lived.

What makes this property unique

Seclusion, views, serenity, stunning night skies - yes the milky way exists here (when the moon is not too bright and clouds permit of course !) Enjoy true relaxation and quiet or go mad and bike, hike, canyoneer, golf or swim till you drop.

If you want to elope - do it here !
