This adorable little cabins are the perfect crash site for adventurous travelers. Unless I'm at a resort and paying for the luxuries that come along with it, I prefer dirt cheap lodging because all I really need is a bed and bathroom. No need to spend loads on a nice place when I'll hardly be there! And that's exactly what Hidden Valley Cabins offers. I love it.
The small town of Alton is located exactly 45 minutes from Zion to the west and Bryce Canyon to the north. The tiny cabins had everything my husband and I needed. Running water, plumbing, heat and comfy bed to pass out on after hours of hiking in the Utah heat. Everything else was a plus! Our tiny abode came with a good-sized mini fridge, microwave, coffee make (coffee provided!), toaster and plastic utensils. There was a tiny table with two fold our chairs as well. For 3 nights we paid a whopping $180.00! So much better than a Motel 6 or Super 8...on God. (*shivering at the thought of ever staying at one of those motels*).
Bear in mind when I say this place is tiny, I mean TINY. No more than one person in the bathroom at a time. If you're travelling with someone you will bump into them more than once, and maybe knock your dinner off your table (oops...).
The hosts are a very nice Mormon couple who do not live on site. However, their communication is on point. We had an issue with getting the heat to turn on. Within minutes of alerting them someone arrived to fix the issue. You can book your stay through Airbnb, which seems to be the only place Hidden Valley Cabins are listed. read more
