About this property

Rizzo's River Run - Bryce & Zion Riverside Retreat - 2 Beds 1 Bath

Relax, unplug, and recharge at this peaceful river getaway. Our 1,000 sq ft private guest house has a full kitchen, king and queen beds, and a cozy living area just 45 yards from our riverside backyard. Explore Bryce Canyon or Zion by day, then come home to stargaze in the hammocks, play cornhole, grill, fish, watch the sunset, and listen to the river as deer wander through the property.

More than a special place...this is an unforgettable experience!

The space:

1000 sf private guest house, 2 beds, 1 bath. Full kitchen. 45 yards from the backyard river.

We’re about 30 minutes from Bryce Canyon, around 1 hour from Zion, about 30 minutes from Duck Creek Village, and about 1 hour from Brian Head.

Guest access:

Full kitchen with [stove/oven, full fridge, grill].

Fast wifi & workspace for remote work

King + queen beds (comfortable for 2–4)

FireTV streaming + DVD & movies

Easy self-check-in with lockbox

River access for relaxing, wading, or fishing

*The driveway may be shared with the owners on occasion.*

Other things to note:

The guest house itself does not have a river view. The backyard space on the 1/2 acre property is riverfront.

There is no central AC, but the guest house is well insulated and stays cool when windows are closed during the heat of the day and opened at night. We also provide fans.

The last 1 mile is a maintained dirt road. Most regular cars are fine, but expect a slower, bumpier drive as you get closer. In wet or snowy weather, conditions can be more rugged.

Excellent cabin stay

We only stayed for one night passing through and got in quite late, but it was a lovely little spot on the river. Beds were comfy and the cabin was well appointed. We also had a lovely meal at the Red Dirt Diner.

Great place to stay! Comfy cozy cabin with fun wildlife to view and feed. The river being so close is awesome. Even though we were on fire restrictions there was a propane fire table to roast smores. I would definitely stay here again. The hosts are easy going and accommodating.

Mellow and relaxing

We were looking for a place to stage out of for trips to the Arches, Canyonland and Bryce Canyon and the location was perfect. Also looking for laid-back, mellow and quiet location. This place fit the bill. Cozy and tight, but comfortable and with great access to the river. The local deer visited many times. Owner was great with communication and place was as advertised.

Thanks for the helpful review, Steve! So glad Rizzo's fit the bill for your family. We agree that 4 adults in 1000 square feet of space with a full kitchen is the maximum occupancy for our guest cabin! Come back soon - the deer were thrilled you brought them a big bag of food, thanks again!

Great place, peaceful, enjoy quiet wildlife, great host.

Able to stay at a place where we could be near National Parks of UT & travel through state to see so many geological changes in this state & views of the mountains & flat areas. We were able to visit Red & Bryce Canyons & the Glen Canyon Dam & see the town of Page. Weather was sure clear & quite hot. Home was very comfortable temperature as nights would cool considerably.

Thank you for being such wonderful guests, Karen! We're glad you could navigate easily to some cool places from Rizzo's. Thank you also for mentioning the comfortable temperature in the cabin, even during an extreme heat wave across the southwest! The cool overnight temps make AC unnecessary here, which is nice!

Hidden gem and a hop and a skip to the river

My wife and i needed a little R&R for the long weekend. We found this hidden gem and were thrilled to spend our weekend at this property. The checkin / checkout was easy and the communication with the host was awesome. The river is literally a few steps away. Unfortunately. It rained throughout the weekend, but we did get to chill a little by the river. Would definitely look to book again in the future.

Great experience

My wife and I recently had an opportunity to stay at Rizzo‘s River run. The only problem we had is not being able to stay longer! We had a great experience, it was extremely clean, comfortable, in a beautiful setting, and as advertised, we got to meet a very friendly group of deer as well as some nervous pre-Thanksgiving turkeys. Lol. We had a very nice stay and the owner was absolutely wonderful for any questions or concerns. We would absolutely stay again.

Perfect little cabin!

We had an amazing stay at Rizzo’s River Run! The cabin is just like described/pictured. Tonya was great at communicating…she answered all of my questions within an hour. Check-in and check-out was super easy. The cabin was very clean. It was fully stocked with everything you need…coffee, creamer, crockpot, shampoo, soap, fishing poles, food for the deer, etc. We saw so many deer during our stay! The neighborhood is a quiet, central location in Hatch. The river was so close to the cabin…about 100ft away. We were able to sit by the river, our daughters used the swing, and we even did a fire for s’mores. I can’t wait to stay there again, and I highly recommend this cabin to anyone!

Perfection for Relaxation!

Rizzo’s was absolutely wonderful! How wonderful? We have already booked our next stay in a month! This place is a gem with a 10 SECOND walk to the Sevier River. We ate each meal at the picnic table next to the river, sat outside listening to the rushing water (so peaceful), enjoyed bird watching, fed chipmunks, and loved the morning and evening deer visits! The cabin itself is well-appointed with amenities and decorated tastefully. As soon as we walked in, we felt at home. It was just what we needed and wanted to relax and rejuvenate! Our host, Tonya, told us about Mossy Cave being her favorite place to hike, so we went and thoroughly enjoyed it! Our stay was an 11 out of 10! The culmination of the setting, the accommodations, and the host put it over the top.

About the host

Hosted by Tonya

Host profile image
I am a teacher in Las Vegas and my husband, Phil, is a safety officer for a construction company. We rented the main house on VRBO for our 30th anniversary in 2020 - our first time ever using VRBO. The property happened to be for sale! We weren't sure that we could afford it, but we went for it - fixed up the guest house to rent out so we could share our little piece of paradise and help pay the bills, and the rest is history!

Why they chose this property

The magic of the property is difficult to put into words. The river has a special energy that immediately brings a sense of peace. Relationships flourish here and you are able to fully relax and reflect in nature's healing space.

What makes this property unique

Rizzo was the first deer to eat from our hands and allow us to interact with her. She was named after Rizzo from the movie 'Grease', a little rough around the edges but deep down sweet as can be. Rizzo's River Run is named in her honor - we will love her forever.
