Great for an adult couple.

Being in an industrial part of town was no problem because we never heard any noise other than an occasional motorcycle from one of the neighbors. You are pretty well on your own to come and go as you please, and nobody bothers you as your apartment sits far back from the road. The apartment looks mostly clean everywhere you look, and the only thing that distracts from the cleanliness is when the Heating/Ac unit louvers are wide open for heating and you can see the brown drip marks on the back sides of the louvers, but I'm sure that the owner will now be aware of it and will have them cleaned. The bed was very comfortable, but the couch to watch TV from was not, and the cushions sink down into the hide away bed, so there is little cushion to sit on anymore after awhile. Also the table in front of the TV is very wobbly and the metal bar stools were starting to fall apart, and we had to tighten what screws were still there to not have an accident. One seat is only held on with one screw. This place is perfect for two adults but would not recommend it for kids, as there are too many decorations that could fall off the flimsy stands and hanging shelves if you bump them, and will break on the hard floor. The two small dogs come out once in a while out of curiosity and only want a little attention. They don't bark but like to be petted and are very friendly. The thing that was disappointing was that the shower is set to go only half way and only let you have a lukewarm shower.

Zen Den is the perfect name

The casita was just as promised. Welcoming, comfortable and clean. We both enjoyed the experience so much. Our hosts were approachable, friendly and welcoming. We came to St. George to ride the tails and there was room for our truck and trailer. We spend a great 6 weeks in the Zen Den and hated to leave. We are so looking forward to returning next year.

Very comfortable casita

Cute place, well done. Kitchen could have used tons more gadgets, microwaveable dishes, larger fry pans and sturdier tableware. All cute and color coordinated and but I was concerned I would unintentionally damage something.

Very cute ADU!

This little "casita" was perfect for me for my short work stay. It is clean, modern, and well laid out with amenities. Jamie is a great host and very friendly. The neighborhood is in an industrial area which is ok....but not great. It is close to many things to do in St. George. If it wasn't in an industrial area I would give it 5 stars.

Nice place at a reasonable price

Enjoyed the stay, nice place and quiet neighborhood. It’s near a light industrial area and some of the homes on the street are converted mobile homes, but I wouldn’t let that sway you from staying there.

Red Cliffs Retreat

The Zen Den is like having your own little piece of paradise within St. George. I love the casita lifesyle because of the total privacy, no noise and peace and tranquility. The Zen Den is conveniently located to I-15 and all restaurants, Red Cliffs Mall, grocery stores and the Big Five National Park scene. You will be able to keep your vehicle within a gated driveway which gives you peace of mind at night. Also, this casita is top notch, everything is new and updated. Be sure to stop and see Jamie's 2 dogs, Harley and Lady and the tortoise named Coopa, they will make you feel right at home. Your not going to go wrong booking this little gem in the heart of Southern Utah. The Zen Den is the best. Enjoy your stay, I certainly did. D.D.

Clean, new, centrally located

This is a beautiful studio apartment. It is all new, with vaulted ceilings, a nice kitchen, appliances, etc. It even has a washer and dryer, which was quite nice. (No toaster in the kitchen when I stayed there on 10/23 though.) I think it was recently finished, because of just how new everything is. It has a nice clean modern feel. There was street parking, or I could park in the driveway, but I usually just opted for street parking because the gate was annoying. There are also dogs, as noted in the listing details, but they are possibly the quietest and most chill little dogs I have ever seen. They were sometimes in the yard, but they just looked at me from a distance and didn't even bark or walk over to me. Speaking of which, the yard was spotlessly maintained, with nice grass and sprinklers etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this, and I would stay here again if I go to St George next year.
