We didn’t have any pets with us but the set up was perfect for fur babies!The main suggestion was to install safety grab bars in the bathtub/showers.The home was in a great location to Best Friends sanctuary and plenty of biking and hiking trails.I would highly recommend this home and I would stay here again!
Stayed here for two nights. It was well equipped, comfortable beds, quiet neighborhood, and we especially appreciated being able to have our dog with us. I could tell the owners love dogs and made great accommodations for pets. Lighting was a bit dim in family room but other than that we really enjoyed our stay and recommend it to others. Within walking distance of downtown area with coffee shops and restaurants.
The property is a blessing for dogs and serves them well. The neighborhood is very family friendly with streets to walk and ride bikes on. The back yard is peaceful and I was able to watch sunrises and sunsets and see the moon as it progressed through its stages including a full moon and eclipse. This was an awesome blessing and healing experience for me. The hosts are very fair and understanding of my needs.
We loved staying at Riley's Retreat because of the convenient and beautiful location, the comfort of the furnishings, and how well stocked the kitchen was. The doggy items provided (bed, blankets, toys, water bowl, and poop bags) were such a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.
We stayed 1 night with our 2 dogs! Loved the yard and doggie door!! The kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped with everything we could possibly need! Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others as well!
The location was great for site seeing. We traveled with two small dogs, so the fenced yard was great to have. However, the yard and outside area could be cleared of weeds, dead leaves and long grass around the perimeter. The home was comfortable and clean inside. Response time was quick regarding a few questions upon check in.
We really appreciated staying in such a dog friendly home. Daisy loved the fenced backyard. Also the kitchen was well stocked which was great. Beds were comfy. Master bathroom was very nice. Thank you again for having us!
The property was very nice and well kept. The yard was my main reason for selecting this property and it did not disappoint. I have an 18 month old black lab that is used to desert landscaping and he loved the huge yard of grass. He played hard and slept well.
Wendy was a wonderful host with a quick response to every question we had ! The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with an absolutely lovely large and grassy backyard that was secure and safe for my dog...always important. The house was comfortable with everything you could need. Conveniently located to the downtown area and very nice for early morning walks. Looking forward to another stay !!! Thank you, Wendy and Doug
This was our 3rd time staying at Riley's Resort. It is clean, comfortable, and extremely convenient to everything. Our dog loves the huge, fenced yard. The location of the driveway makes it easy to load and unload the car. The bed is comfy, with nice linens. The shower has great water pressure and plenty of hot water. This place is great we will make it a 4th time next year.

Thank you, Debbie, for your review! We are thrilled that you've stayed with us so many times. Glad you enjoy the place as much as we do!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. All the amenities you could want in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Very clean! Our dog was in heaven with her own fenced in yard to play fetch when she wasn’t hiking with us! Close to restaurants, shops and pharmacy. Good home base for visiting national parks.
This house had everything you could possibly want. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with utensils, pots, pans, plates, etc. They use good tissue and toilet paper, not the rough, cheap brands you have in hotels. The backyard was perfect for a pet. The laundry area was fully stocked with washing pods and dryer sheets. The neighborhood was quiet and the hosts were great. If I'm ever in the Kanab area again, I will try to stay at Riley's Retreat. Highly recommend it.
The location in town was easy access to grocery stores, restaurants, Kanab Canyon, Paria, Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, etc. The house was perfect for us, fully equipped kitchen and dog bed, water bowl and leashes. Our dogs loved the big, fenced back yard. They felt at ease quickly. Communication with the owner/manager was great. Even messaged us a warning that we would hear a lot of sirens because Kanab HS girls basketball team won State.
After a very stressful drive across the dessert we were over joyed to find Riley’s retreat to be clean,COOL, and completely furnished for our family. The home is very clean and completely furnished, even more so than described in the listing. We3 were so happy to find the back yard was. Completely enclosed for our little fur children. We were even more impressed that thee kitchen was completely furnished with pretty much any kitchen item you need to make meals! Extremely grateful for this after all the restaurants had a 2 hour wait and we needed to cook dinner! If you are staying in Kanab and plan on eating make dinner reservations in advance! Between the limited dining options and little space, shorter hours and Sundays most dining option are closed you need a completely furnished kitchen.
The house was very clean. The kitchen is large and we’ll appointed for all your cooking needs. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog. The house is close to town and on a quiet street. Plenty of space for us all to relax after a fun day of hiking.
