The cabin was great. You have to walk across the parking area to the shared fenced yard which was not clear in the description, but the neighbors were friendly.

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.

Adorable small home in an awesome location on the east side of Cedar City. Across the street from a walking park and walk out the door trails. Home is super clean and hosts are immediately responsive and helpful. Bed was very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Shared backyard is fenced in for dogs. Very close to downtown and Shakespeare festival.
