— The Riv Vibe — The Riv is a small, carefully crafted collection of modern vacation rentals in Virgin, Utah - just outside the buzz of Zion but close enough to be convenient. It’s quiet, peaceful, a little wild, and way more stylish (and cleaner) than a typical hotel.

Thank you for the great review, hope to see you again soon!
Amazing!! The place was so clean and well stocked with essentials. Check in was very easy, and the location was so ideal. We were only 10-15 minutes from the nearest big city, and only like 12 minutes from Zion Visitors Center! Plus the views from the porch were fantastic for morning coffee! Would definitely stay again!
Can't get much closer to Zion without paying significantly more for the same size and amenities, and sparkling clean and comfortable as well. Had a minor issue with check in that was fixed before we even got there with a 5 minute phone call and email. Communication from the host was stellar.The loft space is a little tough for an adult to stay in because of the super low ceiling and the lack of a fan or anything to cool it down, but otherwise a fantastic spot.
Hot tub and pool were a great addition and to do at the end of the day!

We created The Riv at Zion to be a modern, comfortable home base for guests exploring Zion National Park and the beauty of Southern Utah. We love the red rock landscapes, peaceful desert evenings, mountain biking, hiking, and stargazing that make this area so special. Hosting gives us the opportunity to share that experience with others and provide a stay that feels welcoming, relaxing, and thoughtfully designed.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of Southern Utah: peaceful desert surroundings, beautiful red rock views, and easy access to adventure. It’s close enough to Zion National Park for full days of hiking and exploring, but far enough from the crowds to feel quiet and relaxing at the end of the day. We also love being near great mountain biking, stargazing, and the natural beauty of Virgin and the surrounding area.
What makes this property unique
The Riv at Zion stands out for its combination of modern design, private free-standing suites, and a peaceful red rock setting just minutes from Zion National Park. Guests enjoy more privacy than a typical hotel, along with thoughtful features like full kitchens, comfortable beds, fast Wi-Fi, and beautiful desert views. The seasonal pool, year-round hot tub, fire pit, BBQ grills, and outdoor dining areas add to the experience and make The Riv a memorable place to stay.
