Half of VRBOs seem to be folks trying to make money on a property they live far away from. Those folks beg for 5-star reviews before you've even arrived, but don't provide coffee or paper towels. The other half of VRBOs seem to be caring people who live close to the rental, people who just want you to enjoy your stay. This is one where the owners care, and it shows. If you like the idea of taking your morning coffee on the deck in a secluded canyon, with every kitchen convenience provided, then this is your place. No one will bother you, but they are there if you need something. You won't need anything, as they already thought of everything and actually turned on the lights in the place when we weren't checked in by dark. Lovely place with lovely owners. Highly recommended.

Zion-Bryce trip
Stayed at Cottage while exploring Zion and Bryce Canyons. Especially liked the remote location of the cottage more than a mile down a dirt road and half-way between Zion & Bryce. View of stars at night was remarkable. Great place for a couple. Comfortable bed with clean linens. Adequately stocked kitchen allowed us to enjoy breakfast each morning and cook meals every night. Only downside was bedroom on second floor and bathroom on first floor with stairs at opposite end of cottage meant a long walk when waking in middle of night to nature's call. Washer-dryer in cottage meant we traveled home with clean clothes. Fast and reliable WiFi. Used big screen TV each evening to watch photos and videos we had taken that day.

Long weekend stay over spring break
A nice, quiet,very functional place. Good water pressure in the shower. Large beds, including the bunk bed. Apple TV worked well and the couches were large and cushy. Stars were beautiful at night. Some very friendly dogs running around the broader property. Only recommendations are finicky kitchen related stuff: would be nice to have spare garbage bags under the sink and a sponge with a scrubby side so I could do a better job on the dishes. One of the kitchen cabinet doors was already broken as well.

Short visit between Christmas and new years
The cottage was cozy, clean and warm. It was a bit tricky to find and there was no cell service so it was not possible to call to ask for directions. Location was very convenient for Bryce and Zion. Stars were amazing at night.

Secluded comfortable stay
Location was great if you plan to visit Bryce and Zion NPs, beds were comfortable, and kitchen has all basic necessities. The owner was very responsive and pleasant when communicating with us. Tiny suggestion though - to add command hooks on bathroom door and master bedroom door, and provide a couple of throws. On warmer side.

Beautiful area and a clean and cozy stay
We loved our time here! The host was responsive and welcoming. Everything you need in the kitchen, and around the cottage was clean. There were friendly dogs living nearby who came to say hi frequently, we loved it! My husband and kids enjoyed fishing in the private pond after a long day of hiking.
We would gladly stay there again!

Lovely Inside and Convenient Location Between Bryce and Zion
The cottage was clean and had all necessities. There is plenty of space inside. The outdoor space is much more limited. For our purposes, it was a great place to land between national parks. We had a few snafus, but the host was very responsive (frankly, that’s a positive for me because things happen, and it’s more important how a host responds than that something didn’t go as planned).

Zion Getaway
This was a perfect Zion Getaway. It was an easy drive to Zion National Park. The cabin was quiet, clean, and fully stocked with everything we needed...plus more. It was comfortable and private. We loved the area with it's access to so many things, and yet it was remote enough that we didn't get the noise of being on the main road or in a crowded campsite. We were so lucky to have found this hidden gem.

Zion/Bryce Get Away
The cottage was perfect for our 4 day trip to visit Zion and Bryce. We were able to get easily to and from both parks. We had an issue with an outlet the first night and Hal and Marcy were there within 10 minutes to get everything fixed. While there is another cottage nearby it was always quiet and peaceful every night.

Perfect location to see everything!
Loved the location - enabled to drive 1-2 hours in any direction and get to numerous national and state parks, and other explorations. While weather was tough with rain and snow, making ingress/egress an adventure, it all worked out. Mercy was responsive and helpful with making sure we could get in an out and was flexible with our departure in the midst of a snowstorm. The cottage is comfortable, and we had all the supplies we needed for our stay. Great place - hope to return in the future.

Cozy cottage near Bryce and Zion
My wife and i enjoyed our stay here while visiting Bryce Canyon, Zion, and North Rim of Grand Canyon. The cottage was very clean and well stocked with towels, linens, and kitchen essentials. It is a bit off the beaten path on a dirt road which made it a great quiet place to relax after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Having the washer and dryer there was great, especially after the day we got really dirty doing the full day ATV tour. There was only one small hiccup one night when the water pump went out, but our hosts were right on it and got it back on line in short order. All in all a great little getaway cottage.

It was a great location for Zion, Bryce, and Kanab. The place was clean and comfy. Great little kitchen and we grilled burgers. It was really really hot outside so the a/c struggled to keep the master bedroom cold enough. I’d suggest the owner get one more a/c unit. Otherwise it was great. Thanks

Beautiful and comfortable
This is a lovely home in a quiet place in the woods located half way between Bryce and Zion. We loved it. Good TV and Internet. Very comfortable. Beautiful outdoor areas, barbeque. Two quirks. 1. On hot summer nights, the bedrooms (upstairs) did not cool down. 2. The entrance to one of the bedrooms is through another one.

great location for visiting Zion and Bryce
If you want to spend time at both Zion and Bryce canyons, this property is situation about 1 hour from each. The cabin has a nice rustic feel and was big enough for myself, my wife, my son and daughter in law - although a 2nd bathroom would have been a plus. I also planned to do some star gazing and found some of the darkest skies I've ever seen in a meadow just a short walk up the road. We all enjoyed the quiet and isolation. The back deck was a real plus for communing with nature.
