We had a wonderful time, it was a home away from home with everything needed to create great memories. We enjoyed relaxing at the house with wonderful views and sitting by the fire pit. Great location to visit Zion, Bryce Canyon and enjoy exploring Grand Staircase Escalante on UTV’s. Beautiful home - great memories!!

Great Vacation House for Visiting Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon!

This house has everything you need. It’s clean, spacious, plenty of big fluffy towels and the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans and utensils etc. We made several meals for our family during our stay and had many deer grazing in the yard in the evenings. The location is right between Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon so the drive to each is easy. The owners communicated promptly and made our stay very enjoyable.

Southern Utah - Duck Creek Village

This was a perfect home away from home for our visit to southern Utah. We all felt very comfortable and it had all the amenities. The front deck was great for visiting and enjoying the views and watching the deer mornings and evenings. We visited Bryce Canyon, Zions, Grand Canyon North Rim, Horseshoe Bend AZ, and Matt's Offroad Recovery!! 5 stars all the way!

Great spot for National Parks adventures

The cabin was well appointed and was clean and comfortable for our group. The house was a perfect spot between Zion and Bryce Canyon NPs. We even managed a foray to Capitol Reef. We had a couple questions about the operation of the air conditioning which was quickly answered and addressed. We enjoyed a visit from a small family of deer and some beautiful summer night skies. Great experience.

Excellent house

The house is very well furnished and located for exploration of Zion and Bryce Canyon. The house had a lot of extras like spices, coffee filters, dishwasher and laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner and garbage bags making our stay and logistics less stressful. There is nice outside space to spread out into as well. We were six adults and we were very comfortable. I highly recommend this house!

The house was perfect for our adventures at Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. The house was just as described. It was very well equipped with all the kitchen necessities. It was perfect for our family of 6. We loved sitting on the porch and watching the deer every evening. The games were an added bonus for family card nights. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful Area

This cabin was in a peaceful area about 45-60 minutes from Zion, Bryce, and Pink Coral Sand Dunes, as well as many other trails. It was a great base camp with a nice set up. The house was clean and well maintained with a great gas fireplace-perfect for the colder months. As stated in the description, the roads were snowy and icy in March, so expect it take take longer to get from Cedar City to the cabin in the winter. We enjoyed our stay here.

Fantastic family vacation

This was the perfect central place to stay for our adventures! We rented e-bikes near Bryce and rode to Red Canyon; spent one day at Zion; explored Navajo Lake, Cascade Fall, Ice Cave, Aspen Mirror Lake, and Duck Creek Village; spent a day at Bryce Canyon and went to the Rodeo after dinner; did the Belly of the Dragon, Sand Caves, and took an UTV tour (with sand surfing) to Peekaboo Canyon, ate in Kanab. Loved coming back to a very comfortable home each evening! Kitchen, living, and dining room were just right. Beds were very comfortable. We really appreciated that all soaps and detergents were provided. Owners responded to questions immediately. Highly recommend this property!

Amazing cabin, you'll love it!

Such a cute, homie cabin we loved it! Well stocked of everything you need, no need to bring anything except your groceries. The cabin was well distributed so it didn't feel like you where on top of each other. The cabin was also baby friendly, we took a very curious 2 year old with us. All that was needed is putting a chair in front of the stairs and she was free to roam. Wifi worked great, furniture was well kept. Only downfall was the firepit couldn't be used but that was due to the fire restriction. We'll be back, thank you!

Perfect for family getaway

Just stayed here in early July. This house was exactly as pictured. Kim was great to work with and answered any questions we had prior to our trip and during. The location was great for visiting both Bryce and Zion National Parks. The kitchen was well stocked which made meal prep that much more like being home. The beds were comfy and the house was roomy enough for 4 adults and 2 children. The house was clean and had everything we needed. We opened the windows when we would get in and the house would cool down immediately. It was perfect for the start of our family vacation. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Perfect place for distance learning from a distance

What a wonderful place! The house was the perfect size for my family of 4 plus my parents. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and open floorplan - ideal for being together while kids did work. The firepit was fun and we enjoyed brisk evenings on the porch. The cabin was an easy drive from Zion and onto Bryce and Pink Corral Sands. The kitchen was well stocked with essentials(only thing lacking was an 8x8 for our brownies for my mom’s bday, but we easily got one at Terry’s Food and Drug). Most importantly- Kim was super communicative- answered questions promptly and gave a great overview and welcome to the area.

Wonderful! We didn't want to leave.

Juniper Hills couldn't have been more wonderful for our multi-generational family vacation (my parents, myself, and my two teen/tween kids). The cabin is clean and beautiful with all of the amenities we needed. It was a perfect home base for our visit to Bryce Canyon. When we returned home In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the deer. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable for sleeping each night. Do be aware that there are quite a few stairs (to the front porch, and to the upper level), which were a little hard on my mom's knees, but she managed. We enjoyed the area so much, we would love to come back and explore it even more. If we do, we will definitely book Juniper Hills again!

About the host

Hosted by Kim Stevens

Host profile image
We currently live in Northern Utah, but also lived in Massachusetts for several years. Our sons are active in hockey, and as part of that we travel to several tournaments each year. For sports and also for our other travel, we started staying in vacation rentals whenever possible. We enjoy having more comforts of home than hotels have to offer.

Why they chose this property

We first stayed in the area in 2016 on our way to the Grand canyon. We enjoyed our stay and kept coming back to camp and go 4-wheeling. We eventually decided to purchase this home for a vacation rental. We have enjoyed our time in Southern Utah and getting to know the area and the locals.

What makes this property unique

We are an outdoor loving family! All of the nearby National and State parks, and the ATV trails drew us to this place. We have enjoyed the beauty that surrounds Duck Creek and the Cedar Mountain area. We hope you enjoy it too!
