About this property

The Zen Den

The Zen Den has that cozy, cabin feel but is close enough to walk to Southern Utah University, the SUMA art museum, the Shakespeare Theatre, and the historic downtown. Cedar City is known for being safe and friendly, so if you’re up for a stroll, you’re in the perfect spot.

The Zen Den has two comfy bedrooms, one bathroom, and a cozy little loft the kids will love.

•The master bedroom has a king-size bed with easy access to the bathroom.

•The guest bedroom has a comfy queen bed.

•The living room has a queen-size sleeper sofa.

•A twin rollaway bed is available for additional guests.

The loft is a cozy little hideaway, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. If you need an extra spot to sleep, there’s a twin-size air mattress available—just a heads-up, it’s up to you to set it up and take it down during your stay.

Note: The backyard is shared with another unit, The Fortress, located just behind The Zen Den. So you may run into other guests—and maybe even some friendly pups! The yard is fully fenced, so it’s perfect for a bit of dog-friendly fun—just remember to clean up after them! The back yard is not attached to The Zen Den.

Just a heads-up, our place has an evaporative cooler instead of central AC. It does a great job keeping things cool, especially for our area. Just want to make sure everyone's on the same page about what to expect!

Take some time to unwind on the porch swing and soak up the stunning views of the red mountains and breathtaking sunsets. And if you’re in the mood to explore, the scenic Coal Creek trail in Canyon Park is just across the street!

As you’re going through the reservation, please make sure you’ve selected the correct number of guests and pets so the platform can calculate everything properly. If anything looks off or you run into any issues, just shoot me a message and I’m happy to help. Want to make sure everything’s smooth and easy for you with no surprises after booking.

This is a great little place on the outskirts of Cedar City, but still walkable to Main Street for Food, Drinks and Fun. Our pups LOVED the fenced in grass backyard. Well priced too, can't wait until we can go back. Hopefully The Zen Den will be available for our travel dates, but it will probably be booked up. Thanks again Gerald!

This was a comfortable place to stay, and has a very good feeling inside. We liked the location. The new shower was very nice. Had a fenced yard for our dog so that was a real plus. Felt private. The kitchen lacked a baking sheet (which we routinely use for roasting vegetables) and there was not a baking dish, and we could not find a cutting board, other than that it was well stocked.

About the host

Hosted by Gerardo

Host profile image
Hey, I’m Gerardo. I’ve lived in Southern Utah for over 25 years and know Cedar City really well. I’m a real estate agent and manage a few rentals nearby, so I stay hands-on and keep things running smooth. I like places that feel clean, simple, and easy to settle into—no stress, no overcomplication. When I’m not working, I’m usually out golfing, hiking, or just spending time with family. I treat this like something I’d want to stay in myself, so the goal is always a solid, comfortable experience from start to finish.

Why they chose this property

This location works because it’s right where you want to be without feeling busy. You’re close to downtown Cedar City, SUU, restaurants, and stores, but still in a quieter area where you can relax. It’s a good setup whether you’re here for a quick stay, events, or just passing through. You’ve also got easy access to the mountains, trails, and Brian Head, so you can get out and do something during the day, then come back and chill without a bunch of noise around you.

What makes this property unique

The Zen Den is all about keeping things calm and comfortable. It’s a smaller space, but it’s set up intentionally so it feels easy to unwind in after a long day. Clean, simple, and stocked with what you actually need.

What makes it stand out is the vibe. It’s quieter and more low-key, good for couples or anyone just looking to relax without a lot going on. You still get access to the shared backyard space, and even though it’s on the same lot as another unit, it’s set up so you’ve got your own space to do your thing. It’s more of a laid-back, reset kind of stay.
