About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Explore & Hike Southern Utah @ Zion's Roost!

Central to many top Southern Utah locations & only 1 mile from Zion Kolob entrance. Stocked with everything you'd find in your own home except the food! We offer day packs, trekking poles, first aid kit & more at no extra charge. I'm happy to talk hikes and itineraries with those who need some pointers! You'll find adventure, relaxation & whatever else you're looking for. Meticulously cleaned between guests. On a 5 acre lot with plenty of space & privacy.

The house is only 1 mile away from the less-visited Kolob Canyon side of Zion National Park. Just 2 minutes away from I-15 for easy traveling to Kanarraville Falls, Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Brian Head, Grand Canyon, Shakespeare Festival, Snow Canyon, Navajo Lake, Panguitch Lake & many more popular Southern Utah locations & events. At 45 minutes from the south entrance of Zion National Park, we are closer than St. George.

-Outdoor patio with covered dining area & gas BBQ grill.
-Strong, fast WiFi.
-Save time and money by cooking meals in the fully functional kitchen.
-Full-size washer and dryer for your exclusive use.
-For those coming to experience the world-class hiking, we have day hiking packs with basic necessities, trekking poles, first aid kit, emergency shelter & emergency satellite rescue beacon provided on request for no extra charge!
-All lots in this area are at least 5 acres. You'll have plenty of space!

-Guest has exclusive access to the entire home.
-Exclusive use of kitchen and laundry room.
-Exclusive use of outdoor patio, grill & dining area.
-Private driveway and parking.

IMPORTANT ROOM & BED INFORMATION
-Please be sure you understand the room sizes, bed configurations, bed types & weight limits we have on 2 of the beds. If you have questions, please ask.
-The beds in rooms #2 and #3 are bunk style beds. The bottom bed in room #2 is a double and has a regular (non bunk bed) mattress. The bottom bunk in room #3 also has a regular mattress. So, all ground-level beds have regular, nice mattresses and will sleep 3-5 people depending on whether you double up in the queen and/or double bed.
-Both top bunks have a weight limit of 150 pounds and have standard bunk bed mattresses. We cannot put thicker mattresses on the top bunks because of design and safety factors. Due to the climbing involved & basic mattresses, these two beds will not be ideal for most adults. If the person exceeds 150 pounds, neither of these beds will work at all. Please take this into consideration when thinking about sleeping arrangements for your group.
-The 2nd room in this house is quite small. The 3rd room is very small. There isn't much more space than what the pictures show. They are basically just spaces for sleeping and can't be used for much more than that.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION
-The property has four outdoor security cameras. One is on the roof of the house and faces west for a view of the driveway approach. The other is on the east side of the gazebo and faces east for a view of the eastern approach to the house. Both entrances may have Ring Doorbell cameras.
-Guests are welcome to smoke outside, just not inside the house or near open windows or doors.
-For television viewing we have 38 over-the-air digital T.V. channels plus the televisions are connected to the internet. I have active Nexflix & Amazon Prime accounts.
-The nearest stores are in Cedar City, about 20 minutes away. So be sure to stock up on supplies on your way here. We will start you out with some soap, shampoo and toilet paper. But if you've got a big group or are renting for several days, you'll probably need to bring some more of your own.
-There are two homes on the 5 acre property. Only one is for rent. There is sufficient space between the two homes for plenty of privacy. I live in the main house on this property with my wife and 3 children.

Birthday Zion Retreat
An amazing gem to say the least. The property is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. My family and I enjoyed the organization and cleanliness of the home which added an extra level of comfort to our stay. Dave is an amazing host, who had timely responses and great recommendations for activities in the Zion area. Overall, we had an amazing vacation at Zion Roost, nothing but positive things to say about this property ( and Dave and his family), and my family and I will definitely be back!!!

Zions Roost
Beautiful home with all the amenities we were looking for. It is obvious the owners put a lot of care and consideration into making this property a true home away from home. The master walk in closet has a great space for getting ready. Greatly enjoyed the patio out back. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need and had plentiful silverware, dishes, plates and glasses (sometimes rentals only have 4 place settings so we are constantly doing dishes). The owners were excellent at communication and we would 100% recommend this place to others seeking a place near Zion.

Great stay
This was a great location near Kolob canyon at Zion. The owner was responsive and easy to reach. The house was well-suited for guests with a lot of storage, kitchen items, and toiletries. The outdoor space was nice for young kids and had a large outdoor dining area and grill. We saw a peacock several times and wild turkeys, as well, which the kids loved.

We had an amazing stay. Dave went above and beyond when we had trouble with our rental car. He came over with a charger/jumper and even offered to drive us to a hike nearby while we were waiting for the replacement car to be available. The hiking gear he provided was so helpful. We would highly recommend this place to anyone.

My family loved our stay here. My kids appreciated having their own space/rooms and liked the cool seating in the living room. The kitchen was very well stocked. The outdoor patio was so nice and we wished we had more time to spend there. The host was super nice and made sure we had clear instructions for getting there. If you have the opportunity to stay here you won't be disappointed!

BEAUTIFUL COTTAGE
This property was exceptionally clean and well maintained. All that you would need to prepare meals, relax and rest were provided. The hosts were very cordial and all details and instructions were very clear. The property was ideally situated for visits to Kolob Canyon (10 minutes), Zion (45 minutes) and Bryce Canyon (2 hours). We visited all three over 3 days and still had plenty of time to relax at the cottage. Would highly recommend this VRBO.

We arrived to find a cute, clean place with everything we needed plus some. Dave gave us great suggestions to make our travels easier and allowed us to use hiking poles. Everything was very clean and smelled so fresh. The kids loved the bean bags. The guide book and labels gave us all the information we needed. We lost our teddy bear and Dave's wife saved the year by finding it and shipping it to us. Would highly recommend and we will be back soon!

Peaceful and cozy for adventures
We had a great time at Zion’s Roost. The place was immaculately clean and had everything that we needed for a fun stay. In addition to the incredible Kolob Canyon of Zion Park being only 5 minutes away, we found so many incredible places to explore. From waterfalls to slot canyons, we had incredible adventures. Dave was so helpful in letting us know all the right places to check out. Great hosts! You’ll love this place.

An exceptionally wonderful vacation!
We have stayed in many lovely VRBOs but this was hands-down our favorite. We love peace and quiet, wildlife, and gorgeous views. This checked all the boxes. At the same time, it was three minutes from the west entrance to Zion National Park (no wait time to get in!) and an easy drive to magnificent hikes in local state parks and canyons, and great restaurants in St George (Red Fort--amazing Indian food). Our host, David, was the best host we've ever encountered. Not only did he provide us with awesome recommendations, including maps and directions, but he was responsive to our texts almost immediately. The house itself is very comfortable. It has everything you could want in the kitchen, a super-comfortable leather recliner sofa to watch the big-screen TV, gas grill and outdoor dining room, and did I mention the views? Snow-capped mountains on one side, and the red rocks of Zion on the other. Deer and wild turkeys came by the back door. The master bedroom has a firm, comfortable mattress and soft bedding. David and family live next door, but the landscaping provides privacy and he and his family were very considerate about noise. We didn't hear them at all. I recommend you go outside at night and look up. The starry sky is magnificent. Also, take a walk around the neighborhood (mini ponies, horses, flower gardens). It's a little piece of heaven there. We can't say enough about this VRBO. We'll definitely be back!

Beyond expectations!
This VRBO was beyond perfect for our family of 4! It came highly recommended to us by a friend due to their great experience and we were very pleased. The house was spotless with new appliances, nice beds, and lots of extra amenities for our hiking trip including 4 hiking packs, hiking poles and coolers. The owners went above and beyond expectations when he gave us 1.5 hours of his time to recommend hikes and help plan our stay as well as delivering a homemade Easter dessert. The wildlife in the yard, beautiful back patio, gorgeous views out of every window, and kindness of the owners make this VRBO a relaxing oasis for anyone looking for a place to stay in the Zion area.

We loved staying at Zion’s Roost. Dave gave us a lot of recommendations on hikes and things to see. The home was clean and had everything we needed. We were left a bowl of fruit which I thought was extremely thoughtful. The house is very private. There were wild turkeys, chickens and deer that showed up in the back yard. We loved it and want to come back. It is such a beautiful area to explore.

Hiking from Zion’s Roost
We booked zions roost planning to hike a few days at Kolob Canyon. The road was closed due to a rock slide. Outside of proximity to that the place is kind of in the middle between Cedar City and St George. Not much happening there. However there is great hiking within 30 min drive. Dave was very helpful in picking out good hikes despite transitioning weather. The place itself is modern, spotless and well appointed. All in all a great home base for our hiking adventure
