Loved this place! It was very clean and the location was perfect for what I needed. The host was very friendly and accommodating. I would absolutely stay here again and don't think you can find better for the price.
Mom's Place is like going to a friend's house who had just stepped out momentarily. It's a personal and cozy place, furnished and decorated beautifully. Everything you might need to stay for a while. Full kitchen, comfy bedding and bath... even healthy houseplants! Many interesting books to peruse, and birds to watch from the back yard. Joan greeted us and we had a lovely conversation about the place, her Mom and lots of other topics! A lovely and personal place to stay at a great value.
We enjoyed everything about our visit! House was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and more. Will definitely love to stay again when we come back to the area.
One of the most comfortable VRBO stays! The house was extremely clean, the beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with everything a guest would need. The location was both quiet and conveniently close to town. If ur looking for a comfortable homey feel, this is the place!
We all felt like we were staying at our mom’s home. Clean, comfortable, kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to make meals. Quiet neighborhood, close to town.
We LOVED our stay at mom’s place.
Close to Bryce Canyon and local hiking trails and close to town. Kanab is an awesome town!
Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood not too far from town. The home is very clean and well stocked. Joan will help you with anything that you need and can offer insights on things to do in the area.
This property is in a very quiet part of town. Everything is easily accessible. It is a huge property fully stocked with coffee and tea. It was very comfortable giving privacy and quiet to both of us. It is a beautiful place to stay.
My husband and I stayed for two weeks. We were so impressed how well this house was clean, equipped with all household items, and nicely decorated. We felt like staying at home of relatives or friends. Location was quiet, on the outskirts of Kanab but still convenient to everything. We liked eating on the front porch and look at the Kaibab plateau. Also Cottonwood trailhead was within walking distance. We hope to be back soon.
If I could give it extra stars for cleanliness, I would. This house is extremely well taken care of and is fully stocked with everything you need. This was our second time staying here and I'd recommend it to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay at Mom's Place. It was perfect for our trip as we visited the national parks for Utah. We enjoyed looking at the stars at night. Thank you for everything!
This house was in an ideal location for all our hiking trips (Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon North Rim, Kodachrome and some local Kanab hiking). It was clean, tidy, had everything we needed to feel like we were at home. Joan was a pleasure to deal with and we would highly recommend booking this house.
Right in the middle of everything we wanted to see. House was great and well worth the price. My buddy really enjoyed the books on the local history - his first time visiting the U.S. Great touch. Highly recommend.
Love the house and what the host does to make it so nice to visit. Lots of space and amenities the decor is thoughtful and eclectic. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable if you like an evening stroll like us. Sitting on the porch and listening to the birds in all the mature trees or stargazing at night is so relaxing. Convenient short drive to town center. Definitely would stay there again. Mom would be proud.
Wonderful home with great master suite/bath/sitting room. Fully equipped, clean and cozy. This isn't like staying in a model home, but more like being a guest in a well-cared for home. Joan was a great host!
The pitchers for this house does not do it justice. The house has a really nice layout, was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. Joan has supplied the house with anything you might forget. We will definitely plan to stay here again on a trip West.
This place was amazing. I've stayed at a lot of VRBOs but this was the best. 5 Minutes to town. Peaceful location, saw a deer next door and 3 chickens came to visit. Cleanliness was above and beyond. Everything you want was there. We played games on the front porch and had a ball. Would recommend this house to anyone. Thanks Joan

About the host
Hosted by Joan A. Thacher
I have lived in the area since 1978 but am originally from Oakland, California. I instantly fell in love with Southern Utah! The landscape is like nowhere on earth and the sky is so blue you'll wonder if it's real! I love the outdoors and always have. I love gardening, hiking, walking the dogs and rockhounding. If you're a rockhound this is the place for you! My husband and I love riding our motorcycle through Zion National Park! I worked for many years in drug and alcohol prevention education and now am part-owner in the local pet store. We'd love to have you stay at Mom's and we can guide you to all the out-of-the-way places nearby.
Why they chose this property
Mom's Place is actually that - my Mom's House. She moved next door to us from Walnut Creek, CA in 2006 after my Dad died. She moved all her lovely furniture and belongings into this charming single story home. We were very lucky to have her here for ten years before she passed away last year. Kanab is a much safer place to live than California!
What makes this property unique
You'll love the layout of the home. First, everything is wheelchair accessible. The livingroom/diningroom is light and spacious. The master bedroom has a "retreat" room which we use as a TV/sitting area. You can sit on the front porch and enjoy the quiet with views of the Vermillion cliffs.
