Magical stay
We had a quick stop off at the Grand Ranch on our way up north and my family did not want to leave. Booking and communication with Brandon was eassy preasy! The farmhouse was clean, comfortable and beyond cute. Our kids loved being around all the animals, jumping on the trampoline and the rope swing. We watched the sun setting in the hot tub then it was a short drive into town for pizza. The beds were comfortable and the shower great, we had everything we needed! We’ll definitely be back.

Great stay, we’ll be back
From when we booked the place till right before was the excitement from the kids on the “Cow House”. The property did not disappoint and exceeded expectations!!! Owners were very friendly and made sure we all had a great time. My wife says they are Utah’s Chip and Joanna Gaines. Perfect location to enjoy Utah’s scenery. Then when you get back watch the sunset and enjoy all of the friendly animals. We will be back and are excited to see the property expand over their 10 year plan ;)

Beautiful property!
Property is beautiful with added benefits if you’re an animal lover. The cows greeted us daily upon returning from Zion for the night. Location to amenities in Cedar City is a plus and if you’re in no hurry to get to Zion for the day take the scenic by-way (Utah interstate 14) and come in the parks east entrance. Cleanliness and amenities are second to none, we truly enjoyed our stay.

A very cozy nice place to stay. Everything said on the listing is what it is. Very friendly and easy to communicate with the owners. Wife loved the visits from the cows and other animals. Close to north entrance of Zion.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon

Host profile image
Brandon and Hollie, and our 5 children, have a family motto: "FIND ADVENTURE". We have traveled with our kids extensively in North America, including all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and several countries in Central America, Asia, and Europe. We love all things outdoors including, mountain biking, dirt motorcycles, hiking, backpacking, white water rafting/kayaking, rappelling, boating, snow skiing, camping and anything else that pushes our limits! We enjoy meeting others and love how different all people can be!

We are currently beginning a new Adventure: Building a Hobby Farm and Miniature Highland Cattle Ranch. We hope you'll come for a visit to meet our Miniature Highland Cows and growing collection of other farm animals. Oh, and us too! See you soon!

Why they chose this property

Kanarraville Utah is such a beautiful and serene part of our country. Nestled just outside the mountains and Cliffs of Zion National Park, the scenery and location for outdoor fun is incredible. With all 4 seasons, there is plenty to do here year round. The Grand Ranch is located just north of this quiet town of 400 hundred residents, and about 10 minutes south from Cedar City, Utah, with all the shopping and amenities you may need during your stay with us.

We purchased this 40 acre sheep field in May of 2021 as a bare piece of dirt with only 1 tree. Brandon is the one-man-show in developing our ranch. There has been nothing done here he didn't do! From trenching wires and laying fence, to building these guest homes, everything shows his hard work and skill. (Hollie bragging here! And the kids helped too!)

Hollie can't stop herself from buying animals. She has replaced going to the gym with mucking stalls and turning compost. Her favorite thing (other than collecting animals) is sharing these beautiful and fun creatures with others.

Our current menagerie includes: Highland cattle, Alpaca, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, chickens, dogs, kittens...and, oh yes, human kids too.

We moved to this quaint little town of Kanarraville, UT to escape the hustle of everyday life. Now we're busier than ever...but in a different way, and we love being connected to each other, our kids, our animals, and neighbors. We hope you'll come share this simple, happy life with us too!

We know you'll fall in love with this little corner of the world. We promise we wont make you do any farm chores, and you can relax in the simplistic beauty of country life. What are you waiting for? Welcome to The Grand Ranch!

What makes this property unique

The Grand Ranch is a unique and special place to visit. You get the opportunity to grow with us as every day things change around here. From our cattle and sheep ranching heritage, to our newly planted orchard, you get to enjoy the beauty of being on a working Farm and Ranch...without all the work!

Enjoy our animals! You can feed the cattle treats over your private back patio fence. Or just watch as they play and nap in the pasture of your 'back-yard!' The goat pen is a shared area available to guests who want to play with and feed the goats.

If you're looking for a relaxing a quiet getaway, this is the place! If you're looking for outdoor adventure and exploration, there is plenty do just outside our front gate. Kanarraville is nestled right up against the back-door of Zion! And you know what they say...'Backdoor friends are best!' We agree! Once you've been to this beautiful spot of the world, you'll never want to leave again.
