About this property
Log Cabin Zion Retreat| Where Milky Way Meets Zion
Discover your own private mountain haven just 8 miles (20 minutes) from Zion National Park's EAST entrance. Nestled among majestic ponderosa pines on the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort property, our secluded cabin offers a truly remote and peaceful escape. With easy access to epic East Zion hikes like Observation Point, Cable Mountain, and DeerTrap, and away from the crowds, this cabin is your perfect base for exploring Zion's natural wonders or simply unwinding in tranquil surroundings.
As you approach our cabin along the winding dirt road, you'll feel the rest of the world melting away. The dense ponderosa forest opens up to reveal your private mountain retreat, a charming cabin that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern comfort.
Step inside, and you'll find a welcoming space designed to accommodate up to six adults comfortably. The master bedroom on the main floor boasts a plush king-size bed, perfect for restful nights after long days of exploration. Climb the stairs to the loft, and you'll discover a cozy sleeping area with a king and queen bed. While the sloped ceilings add to the cabin's charm, they do limit headroom.
The heart of the cabin is its open-concept living area. Here, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen equipped with everything you need to whip up delicious meals. Gather around the dining table, which seats up to six, to share stories of your day's adventures. In the evening, sink into the comfortable seating in the living room, where you can watch a movie on the large HD TV or select a DVD from our collection. Wifi with Starlink
No matter the season, you'll stay comfortable with the cabin's AC unit, heater, and beautiful electric fireplace. And for your convenience, there's a bathroom on the main floor with a tub and shower, as well as a stacked washer and dryer.
But the true magic of this retreat reveals itself when you step outside. The covered front and back porches invite you to relax in lounge chairs, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and soak in the stunning views. Fire up the gas BBQ for an alfresco meal, or gather around the firepit as night falls. With minimal light pollution, the stargazing here is simply breathtaking – perfect for making s'mores and creating lasting memories around the fire pit.

It's important to note that if you're planning a visit during the winter months (November-April), a 4WD vehicle is recommended. The dirt roads leading to the cabin can become very muddy, slippery, or snowy, and may be impassable for 2WD vehicles.

About the host
Hosted by Alex and Vanessa Pavlides

Vanessa’s family built their vacation cabin on the borderline of Zion National Park in the mid-1970’s. As a child, she spent many summers hiking, exploring & enjoying the magical land of Zion. The area created special memories with family and friends; holding a special place in her heart. When Vanessa started a family of her own it was no surprise she brought them to the area; sharing the magic of her childhood with her own family. Hiking familiar trails and discovering new secrets became harder and harder to leave. Soon she and her husband, Alex, realized each visit was never long enough. In 2020 it was time to make Zion their home.

Breathtaking vistas, towering cliffs cast in rainbow patterns, sand in your shoes, canyons that wind on in maze-like patterns… it’s all here. Waiting to become unforgettable memories.
