Perfect is the only word that fits our overall impression. The property was exactly as described and the hosts could not possibly have been more gracious. It was hard to leave, but grateful this is the property we selected for our visit to Kanab and surrounding areas. The animals on the property were a bonus and such a joy to see.

Amazing place to stay

We were 2 families with 4 kids, aged 10-16, and this place was amazing. Everyone had their own space and it was the perfect home base for exploring the area. It had everything we needed for stay.

Simply amazing!

We enjoyed three wonderful nights at the Red Mesa Ranch. The house and property were exactly as described and even better in person! The house was immaculate, offered incredible views and plenty of space for the four of us. It allowed us to venture out to the National Parks, Peek-a-Boo Canyon, & Antelope Canyon easily. Kanab was a short drive to town. The horses, goats, and dogs on property made it even more special! We wished we would have stayed longer! We hope to visit again!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

We also visited the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Horse Shoe bend, kayaked on Lake Powell and saw the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.

I wish I could give them 10 stars!

The property was immaculate and Julie and Jim were the most incredible hosts! They went out of their way to make us feel SO welcome! From the welcome sign on the door with our name, to a tray of extra treats. The small details and their thoughtfulness made a big difference! We loved every second of our stay at their place! One more thing….I always look at VRBO reviews to see if there are comments about how comfortable the bed is….it was perfection!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Alexander

Host profile image
I am a Utah native, from the Northern end of the state. With a love for the outdoors, I fell in love with the red rock, and beauty of Southern Utah, and all it has to offer. My Husband is a Texan, born and bred, but has found that there is no place he would rather be as well. We live on the property, and love that we can share our place with you...Your privacy is always our priority. We love that we get to meet so many great people from all over.

Why they chose this property

This property was built with you in mind. A great central location with adventures in every direction, yet a few miles from shopping and restaurants makes for an amazing vacation getaway. The perfect way to end your days adventures. BBQ and relax on the patio with friends & family as the sun sets over the mesa, and the stars fill the dark skies.

What makes this property unique

You will love the open open space! We are surrounded by beautiful red rock views, on 5 acres, and back up to BLM land (Bureau of Land Management) property with the Mesa, and hiking right out the back door, and Johnson Canyon less than a 1/4 mile to the east with so many great trails for hiking, horses, and ATV's. You can gather around the firepit, at the end of the day to make S'mores and Chat about your days adventures under a blanket of stars. The horses, and goats are always up for a visit, and love interacting with you.
