Great stay in Kanab

The home was perfect for our group. It was comfortable, clean and in great condition. The host made check in easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed the central location in Kanab with ready walking access to downtown and restaurants. The “heart of the parks” location was a big bonus for our drives to the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.

The absolute best place to stay!

This amazing historical home is absolutely the best place we have ever stayed. The decor is stunning and everything is comfortable and convenient. The house is within walking distance of Kanab- a beautiful little town, and is convenient to several parks and attractions. The host is very helpful, and there are lots of brochures and booklets to assist you with your planning. We loved the place and hated to leave.

Kanab 4th of July 2024

We had such a great time in Kanab. This home was in a perfect location for the things we wanted to do. There was plenty of room and it was very well stocked. My only issue was with the front door step. As an older woman, it was somewhat difficult getting in and out because the step was do high. I suggest the addition of a small step. Thank you for making this house available to visitors to your lovely community!

House is super clean

The house is so charming and clean. All three bedrooms are great, no arguments over who got what room. House is spotless, no dust on anything including baseboards. I have never stayed in a rental that was this clean. Kitchen is well stocked. The kitchen was fun to cook breakfast in. The pictures do not show how charming the house is and how big it is. Every corner is decorated perfectly. When we walked into the house we all had huge smiles looking everywhere. We walked to restaurants and shops. Super easy to check in. Owner gave clear information of everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautifully restored historic home

We loved our stay! We were there at Thanksgiving, and made our own Thanksgiving day meal! The kitchen was perfect! We found everything we needed. We all appreciated the well restored home! Everything had a vintage look, but felt fresh and new at the same time. This is not your great grandma's rundown home!!! The hosts were friendly and responsive to any questions we had.

Special house, good location, helpful manager

Visited at Kanab as launching pad for day trips to Zion and Bryce and it served its purpose well. We really appreciated the opportunity to stay in this historic yet well maintained house. It's not easy to keep a house that's >100 years old comfortable yet authentic and kudos to the hosts for making it happen. I will only change minor things, such as remove or replace the inelegant plastic cover of the dining table. Communicating with Chad was a pleasure — he was prompt, flexible, and gave us good tips. Highly recommended!

Comfy & Convenient Must-Stay!

Four retired girlfriends spent 6 nights. Went beyond expectations, down to the soft toilet paper! Afternoons spent enjoying cool breeze on the patio, with visits from neighborhood kitty. Nights playing cards at square table in the room off the kitchen. Walked one block to vegan restaurant after work at Best Friends. So glad we chose this house!

Great Home, Great Stay

We stayed at The Pugh House Dec 27-30. Chad and Sheree have done a wonderful job of preserving the history of the home while modernizing it for todays comforts and conveniences. It is everything the pictures show and more, very clean, very comfortable and filled with wonderful old books and other antiques. The house is close to everything in the town of Kanab. We had a great time walking around town and visiting the local parks and sites. When the weather got wet and cold and we weren’t able to drive ourselves to some of the hikes we booked a guided trip with Kanab Tour Company and had a great experience. We will be back!!

October Kanab Visit

Our visit to Kanab was memorable. The house was perfect for our needs. The spacious home was immaculate. We enjoyed the porches and the living areas. I was able to work remotely using the private enclosed porch attached to the kitchen. The location is top-notch because is it walkable to dining, a bakery, and the food store. The kitchen is well- equipped with everything one needs to make meals. Loved all the nearby hiking!

Great house in a great location

The house was great, in a great location for exploring national parks as well as local attractions. However, we were accused by the owners of bringing a pet when we did not. There was a stray cat that always hung around the house, which the kids held and pet, outside. The pet hair got all over their clothes. The owners accused us of lying and turned in a high cleaning fee as an insurance claim. So, if you stay here, don't pet any animals outside.

We enjoyed our stay in the Pugh historic home with well equipped kitchen and bathrooms.

Memorable

We came in on a Monday afternoon, and the check-in process was super easy. We walked to Wild Thyme for dinner, just in time to dine on the patio with a view of the surrounding red rock mountains. The house is impeccable. The responsiveness of the host is top-notch. The amenities are fabulous. The location was really fun. We all loved being in walking distance to the adorable downtown. I even walked to the public library one morning. The drive into and out of town is incredibly beautiful, regardless of which direction you're heading for the day. We traveled to Antelope Canyon, the North Rim and the Red Cliffs trailhead with this lovely home as our base. I imagined that being in town would cause the stars to be less visible than they were. We still enjoyed a balcony view of stars bright enough that the Milky Way was visible (during a new moon). We witnessed a falling star over a silhouette of the red rock mountains at twilight, here. Ten out of ten, and my husband and daughters agree wholeheartedly.

About the host

Hosted by Chad and Sheree Checketts

Host profile image
My wife and I love spending time with family. We also love to travel. We were both raised in smaller communities and love the rural atmosphere of Kanab. I like being "handy" and fixing things up, and Sheree loves creating warm environments.

We hope you'll love, enjoy, and help us take good care of our Kanab home so that as many as possible can enjoy its unique atmosphere!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I love the friendliness and warmth of Kanab and are pleased to be able to be a small part of this vibrant community. We have collected antiques for years and appreciate craftsmanship. We also love architecture. We enjoy traveling and visiting our beautiful national parks and historic locations. We take advantage of the numerous ATV trails and destinations. So our new home is sort of the confluence of all we love and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

More than just a comfortable place to stay, our home is filled with history. Staying here, you're not just close to four of our greatest natural wonders, you're surrounded by red rock, activities galore, countless things to see like dinosaur tracks, The Wave and petroglyphs, and able to see and feel history. You're going to love it as much as we do! You can see more about it by visiting our website. We've compiled a helpful list of places to go, things to see, activities to do and places to shop, eat and relax!
