Just us and our Goldendoodle and it was perfect. We wanted something away from the crowded city but close enough to Tuachan for a show. It was serene and quiet. Just what we needed. We hiked the Snow Canyon Overlook Trail which was phenomenal.

Great neighborhood and stay

Saint George was one of the fastest growing communities in the US and it shows. There is not much cohesiveness to it, and it's not the quaintest city. But Kayenta (the neighborhood where the casita is located) is really special. Everyone we met while walking around there was extremely nice and friendly, and the layout of the development inspires relaxation and creates a stress free environment. The Casita it self is very nice, and as others have mentioned, is roomier than it looks in the photos. The hosts are great, and the hiking within a 50 mile radius is incredibly beautiful and surprisingly diverse. There is a nice hike just a few hundred feet from the Casita, located by the pickleball courts - great for the morning dog walk. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend if staying in the Saint George area.

Amazing location and views!

This casita is gorgeous. It is surprisingly spacious, comfortable, beautiful, with walls of windows looking out to the bedrock backdrop of the unique Kayenta community. Walk across the street to art shops, Xetava restaurant, bar, and salon. This is a wonderful venue for hiking, cycling, or just enjoying the view. The hosts are welcoming and and wonderful people.

This is my 3rd time staying at this beautiful casita and can't wait until I return again. Coyote Casita is warm and welcoming with spectacular views located in the wonderful Kayenta art village. My pup and I enjoyed walking the beautiful surroundings and hiking Pa`rus trail at Zion national park. Sally is a warm and gracious host who greeted us upon our arrival and was available for anything we might need.

Beautiful casita in beautiful setting

There is nothing negative to say about this place, only that there was a lack of communication with the host. So far with vacation rentals I have always received the address and instructions the day before in an email. In this case I texted the hostess twice without a reply and finally called. I was explained a few things over the phone which were hard to understand and asked to get a text with the information. That didn’t happen. When I arrived at the address that I thought I had been given I called the hostess again and she explained in a complicated way where my entrance was. It would have been so much easier for her and for myself if she had come out and showed me around. I didn’t see the hosts in these 5 days a single time and honestly felt unwelcome. There is a folder with information on a shelf on a side table in the living room which is helpful but if she had pointed that out to me I could have avoided calling her several times as well as parking in the wrong place which turned into a somewhat unpleasant encounter with her son who needed to get in his garage.

About the host

Hosted by Sally McNeil-Blimling.

Host profile image
Purchased the property in 2002 as a second home. There was a separate large garage. In, 2015, we built a new garage with a large casita behind / next to our house. This is zoned commercial and is a short-term rental as it is located within Kayenta Art Village. It is the only short-term rental in the village. My husband is an architect and I have been a real estate associate & broker for over 20 years in two states. My daughter, an interior designer came from New Orleans, LA to help furnish & design the property. We moved here after retirement. This is our homestead now in Utah and we really love the red rock mountains and the feeling of privacy in this beautiful neighborhood! The people are all great and friendly. It has a feeling of being out in the country from out of a busy town. It is our serene place to live.

Why they chose this property

This property was so enchanting with the serene desert and red mountains, it appealed to all of our needs for a second home. We now call Utah our home in beautiful Kayenta. The Santa Fe design of the houses was also utmost in our decision, having close ties with New Mexico in the past. With us born in the South, it made for a perfect fit. It is a lovely piece of property near national parks and in an almost exclusive adult community. There is much to do and many cultural events. The Center for the Arts @ KAYENTA now open in the village is within walking distance from the casita and in front of our main house. Xetava Gardens Restaurant and the Rusted Cactus are great restaurants that offer delicious and healthy food. They are open for lunch and dinner and is a two-minute walk from the casita! The community has many people from all over the country who have either retired in this area or have a second home. It is because the area offers so many nearby parks, sports events, cultural events and just everyday sightseeing. The mountains of red rock "Kayenta" are a view that never grows tiresome and one of enlightenment on a daily basis. Come see for yourself and you will know why we chose this spot. Pictures cannot describe the beauty nor the feeling of serenity.

What makes this property unique

Since photos, do not do the area justice, you must SEE this location to believe. As the owner, I feel confident that you will be pleased with our casita. The privacy is surreal and a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life!
