Very nice property with plenty of things to keep the family occupied when we had down time from visit Zion national park. Property manager was very helpful with answering questions about check-in and payment processes. Me and my family would love to stay here again in the future as well as recommend it to family looking for a beautiful/affordable get away.

Perfect for our family

As our children walked in, I heard ooooohs and aaaaaaahs. The Southwest style was unique and very different from what we have in Minnesota. The sleeping accommodations were perfect for our family of 9. It was a great jumping off point for Zion Park, and was delightful to come back to. We had morning coffee on the deck, home cooked breakfast, and enjoyed the view and outside grounds. We wished we had been there longer.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing property. The only thing that would have made it better is a hot tub to sit in under the stars when it was snowing!

Great stay and location to Zion

We had a great stay at this comfy house. It was a good location for trips to Zion and Bryce, plus some local attractions such as Sand Hollow State Park. The views from the house were great, everything was comfortable. We had everything we needed. We loved hanging out on the swings after a day of hiking and our teen boys enjoyed the tennis court once it cooled down in the evening.

We enjoyed our stay. The drive to Zion is easy and it was nice to have a grocery store right on the way. Nice to have a quiet place after the crowds in Zion. Kids had fun. Best part was breakfast on the patio and coffee in the loungers.

Fun rental

Great property, some of the things on the property were falling apart, heaters in 2 bedrooms didn’t work well. They had some water leaking issues that got some of our backpacks soaked on an inside bench. I contacted the property and never heard back. Overall very clean and worked well with our family, game room and basketball court was awesome!

Zion Trip

This was a nice home base for our week stay. We were able to cover parks and tours in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. The house was a quiet retreat after long days of exploring. The private basketball/tennis court was an added bonus for our children. As well as the game room. Views are amazing!

This is a very funky house! Eclectic and artsy with interesting decor and different flooring in each room. Funky bathrooms in the masters were cool! Lots of doors and windows have been closed off to add on additional rooms and change the layout but done in a DIY way. Lots of light switches that don’t do anything so it was hard to figure out how to turn lights on especially in the dark. Stargazing was top notch due to location and no light pollution. We loved the game room but it could use some TLC and fixing up. Not sure what was going on with the little closet/room in the back but it was kind of creepy to our kids. The swinging hammock chairs were a selling point for our group but also need some fixing up. Extra needles for the ball pumps in the garage would be helpful so the court amenities could be enjoyed more. This location seemed perfect to visit the national parks and attractions we wanted to see but ended up being a lot of time on the road. We saw some very cool things along the way so we didn’t mind. We saw a tarantula on the back deck which was so cool! Loved playing board games out there watching the sunset with our whole group!

Incredible property for young families!

We had an incredible stay at the Smithsonian Retreat. We were traveling with various age ranges - from 1 year old to 85 - and the house fit us perfectly. The gated in turfed area was wonderful for the kids to play in and we spent a lot of time on the tennis courts. The house had a ton of space to fit our larger crew and was well stocked with everythig we could need - including hand soap, toilet paper, and coffee filters (which are often not provided). We stay at VRBO houses often and this one was by far the most equipped with essential consumable items. The house was also very centrally located for visits to Zion, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon and more. The views were incredible on top of the hill the house is located on, and the grounds were perfect for exploring. The house was perfect and we had no issues during our stay. Would have loved if the house supplied a pack n play or high chair, but they made up for it with the bag of Nerf guns in the closet and other various games to play.

June getaway

Great property, super quiet and private. Enjoyed the private tennis court with night lights and the amazing views. Great TV room set up. The Disney Plus and other paid subscriptions provided with the rental is a nice touch. Recommend the play room with pool table, foosball, air hockey and other games including an arcade style pinball machine. Property was clean and had everything needed for an extended stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Home & Panoramic Views

The property is massive and the home was perfect! Plenty of room for large families! 4 bathrooms was perfect for getting ready in the morning. The views are amazing… no matter what direction you look there’s something beautiful to see. The toiletries and Kleenex in each bathroom is nice. No need to bring shampoo and conditioner. The game room is a bonus! And the covered patio area with hammock swings was perfect to take in the sunset.

A lovely hideaway

Overall I and my family were completely excited to stay at this property! The house itself was aesthetically unique and so comfortable. The views were outstanding, and we loved playing tennis everyday!! The only drawbacks would be that the landscape maintenance had been overlooked for a long time and high weeds were everywhere. The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom only had cold water, at least while we were there, so we couldn’t use it. These two things however, would not keep me from reserving the home in the future, it was delightful to stay there!

Actual Zion View

Loved the big patio table and cozy living room. Lots of space and property feels very private. Feels like a lived in vacation home, but also very clean and comfortable. Following up on the “lived in” aspect, the railing on the back patio is not very secure, and one of the bathroom doors attached to a bedroom only locks with a single tiny hook that latches onto a hole in the drywall. If these repairs were made, would book again!
