Great stay at Mom’s Place

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!

Moms 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!

Zion and Bryce trip

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.

Simply Awesome!

We loved this property. Immaculate, well-stocked, conveniently located. My husband was enthralled with the interior design, like living in an art gallery for 8 nights. Joan is pretty awesome as well. We never wanted to leave. Hoping to return next year! Michael B.

Lovely Home

The host has thought of everything & more that you would need. A lovely home inside & out. Beds & pillows were extremely comfortable. A very manicured yard with a nice front porch to sit & have drinks or a meal. The house is stocked with anything you could think of. There are an amazing amount of brochures to look through to make your vacation complete. Also, many very interesting books about the area. Definitely don’t hesitate to book this property. It’s a quick 5 minute drive to town. A very quiet neighborhood.

This is the place to stay! Very clean and spacious, located in a very quiet neighborhood. Kanab is a nice town. We enjoyed visiting Zion and Bryce National Parks, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Glen Canyon Dam, Horseshoe Bend, the Best Friends Animal Society and coming back each day to relax in this wonderful home. It's close to the Grand Canyon as well (unfortunately it was closed during our visit due to a fire). Stop at Sugar Daddy's in town for ice cream. (Delicious and you get a good portion) At night, you can sit outside and admire the many stars. The host is very friendly and gave us a few trip ideas. If ever we get back to Utah, this will be our go to place. Highly recommend.

One of my best VRBO stays

I’ve stayed in many vacation rentals & this was one of the best. Perfect location equidistant to Zion, Bryce & Grand Canyon. Tons of literature in the home about all there is to do in the area. Loved being able to set my own memorable door lock code to get in. Great accommodation: 2 bedrooms, 2 sitting rooms, 2 bathrooms, big dining table, etc. and a very responsive & lovely hostess! Highly recommend!

A perfect place to stay and enjoy Kanab

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.

Wonderful stay in Kanab

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.

Calm and Peaceful Get Away

I loved the house. Everything was so clean and organized. This was the nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in. The owner has thoughtfully provided many special touches that enhance the charm and comfort of the rental. In addition to an abundance of nice towels and linens, there are cooking utensils, kitchen appliances, dinnerware, extra paper towels, a large assortment of spices, coffee and filters, laundry detergent and dryer sheets, extra trash bags, etc., etc. just to name a few of the items provided. It is a very peaceful setting. I enjoyed having a meal one night on the front porch. I stayed for eight nights and was sad to leave. It did not feel like a rental property. It felt like I was a welcome guest in the home of a friend or relative. I hope to be able to return again next year.

About the host

Hosted by Joan A. Thacher

Host profile image
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.
