About this property

River Rock Studio w/private courtyard, 20 minutes to Zion

We aim to complement the experience of visiting Zion by bringing the feeling of the outdoors inside: natural light, airy ceilings, and canyon colors. A glass door and tall windows make the private courtyard feel like part of the interior.

(Please note that - alas! - we cannot allow pets. We do love animals, but allergies intervene.)

Newly built in 2020, the studio is attached to our home but functions as a totally private apartment with its own entrance, gated courtyard, kitchenette, climate control, and smart TV. We have two adjacent studio rentals and courtyards with similar accommodations, also attached to our home. All are fully electric and run on solar power.

Our memory foam mattresses are comfy as all get-out and we went out of our way to make sure the showers are exactly what hikers are looking for after a long day: great water pressure and giant, fluffy towels! This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Zion area and a well-placed launching pad for your next outing.

Privacy disclosure: Please note that there are two outdoor security cameras on the property. The first is situated over the owners' private entrance and doesn't view any part of any area guests will access. The second camera looks over the driveway/parking area that guests will share, but cannot see into any private guest areas/courtyards.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Lock the doors
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Absolutely no open flame, please! Things like candles and the like. To everyone's chagrin, our town doesn't have a fire department.
Quiet hours are between 10pm and 8am, as most of our guests are here to go hiking and plan to wake up early.
Local laws state we can only host a maximum of 2 people in any of our studios. Legally, we cannot bend on this or we risk losing our license.

Great place! Bed was super comfy and it was perfect for just myself. It was only 15 minutes from the park entrance, and I got a lot more value for my money compared to staying in Springdale. Highly recommend!

Process was easy, room was comfortable. A nice touch turned out to be the waterfall decoration. We had a room with nice moisture in the air and didn’t need to moisturize every day.

Diana was friendly and checked in to make sure our stay was perfect. It was an easy 20 min drive to Zion. We hiked everyday and it was truly magical. After hiking The Narrows, we did 3 hours at the Zion Canyon Hot Springs and it was so worth it. Can’t recommend that place enough and we really felt refreshed. We applied for an Angels Landing permit each day and got it the final day. It was such a fun hike to the top. This area has so much to offer, would stay again.

The sweet studio apartment was just what we needed for our few days in Zion. It was conveniently located (out of the Memorial Day frenzy but close enough that an early start would get us into the park quickly) and beautifully decorated! The kitchenette was plenty for our needs, the bed super comfortable after a long day of hiking and the courtyard was nice for a morning coffee. The most valuable and appreciated part, however, was the OUTSTANDING communication with the host Diana, both during and especially prior to our visit when she tried to facilitate a resolution concerning trip insurance and an altered reservation with VRBO. For her part she was immensely gracious and accommodating; VRBO as a company, not so much. We were so soured by the experience we will most likely never book through VRBO again although we would stay at this beautiful spot hosted by Diana again in a heartbeat!!

Perfect setting

The property was a great place to stay. Communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. The property has a great vibe with all the cool artwork throughout. Now let’s talk shower! It was fabulous! Just what a tired hiker needs at the end of the day. Hated leaving it behind!

About the host

Hosted by Diana Hall

Host profile image
Hello! I'm a Chatty Kathy backcountry guide with an optimistic disposition and fondness for animals of all sorts. I live right outside Zion National Park and most of my favorite activities happen therein: canyoneering, backpacking, hiking, climbing, and watching wildlife do what wildlife generally does. My favorite topics of conversation include outdoor goings-on, stories of bravery and chutzpah, movies and how they should have been written better, and the gut microbiome. I look forward to meeting you. :)

Why they chose this property

My husband Ethan and I moved here over ten years ago to work as canyoneering and rock climbing guides. We've been doing that ever since! The Zion area's slot canyons are incredible, and I could go on about how much I love them for days.

What makes this property unique

We worked hard to make our studios as comfortable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing as possible! I hope you find them to be all of the above. :)
