    I really enjoyed my stay here at this hotel. At first, it looks like a motel, but once you unlock…read moreyour room door, you'll be amazed by the room itself. The room is super nice, which we had a patio view overlooking the golf course, which I didn't even know they had one. Also super cheap to get a round of 18 holes in if you happen to spontaneously hit a few. I also loved the wooden furniture to give it that rustic vibe, which I guess goes well with the national park theme. The room itself was very spacious. They had a 24 hour pool and a hot tub, which we definitely took advantage of after a tiring hike through some of the national parks. There's a gift shop as well as the Thunderbird Restaurant, which I recommended getting food there. The staff that checked us in was super friendly and helpful. He was also very knowledgeable on Zion as we were trying to figure out parking and how early we needed to get there, along with renting hiking equipment, and other advices on making our Zion trip less chaotic.

    If you're like us and just want a clean comfortable place to stay that isn't an outrageous price?…read moreThis is where I would recommend as an in-between Bryce and Zion! It's got everything you need to rest your sore body after a long day at Bryce and hop in a pool before you continue on to Zion only 45 minutes away. There is a restaurant (see my other review for deets), pool/hot tub, gas station and golf course right on the property for you take advantage of for all you need to recuperate! The king size bed was so comfortable and the showers had great pressure and super warm. The room was very spacious and the AC was quiet but really pumped out cool air! Loved that we could access from the front our the back patio that faced the pool so we didn't have to go all the way around the complex. Only bummer is it's really close to the highway and sometimes you'd hear the occasion noise of cars but other than that it was a perfect stay.

    Zion Mountain Ranch - Our sunset horseback ride.

I would recommend bringing some dvds because I wasn't able to stream anything except YouTube. The Cabin did include free WiFi. But there was a blue ray dvd player in the room. The sunrise, sunset and stars at night were amazing! There is also a separate shower, I just didn't get a picture of it. The room also had a sink in the dining area and a good sized mini fridge, coffee machine and microwave. Our first night there we did the sunset horse ride with Madison. Madison was excellent!! I was really nervous about getting on the horse and she helped me out and was attentive and informative during our ride. She was very personable, knowledgeable and fun! The views on the ride were incredible. If I could've, I would've done it every day we were there! ZMR is located just outside of Zion and it was a very short drive to get to the park and hiking trails. It was nice and peaceful. Not overcrowded even though it seemed like every cabin had a resident.

    The cabin was in disrepair and was dirty. We rented the "Rim Cabin" for the view and the privacy…read more The Tub bottom was cracked in 3 places and unusable. The mini fridge had broken shelves and no door on the freezer sections...so in the middle of the night our soda cans froze and exploded. The most disappointing part was the general unclean state of the cabin. There was a lot of dust over every surface, cobwebs all over (including the shower ceiling), mystery stain on the comforter for the bed, dirty shower, long dark hair in the sink and on the bed pillow and crumbs on every surface. We talked to staff the first day we arrived and the second day when we checked out. They were kind and listened and said they would look into a discount for us. I received a text from the ranch with a survey and when I rated it a "3", they said they would forward my concerns to management. It's been a week and no one has reached out and no discount was given. Overall, very disappointed with the room and the lack of contact from the Ranch. I wont be back and would not recommend staying there.

The hotel looked more like a ski resort with cozy cabins and the views it had to offer from each room were just breathtaking, specially with the sound of the Virgin river running along the entire property added to the magic of this place. The rooms were very clean with every amenities one would need for a comfortable stay. The front desk staff were the warmest and friendliest I have recently encountered, catering to our every need as well as giving us useful advice on activities and places to eat and visit. Definitely will be back!

    A true gem/"pearl." I have been reluctant to review the Desert Pearl Inn in the past out of…read moreselfishness; I did not want the secret to get out. However, the Desert Pearl is well-deserving of a positive review. I first discovered this place 26 years ago, and I estimate that I have stayed here 20 times over the years. Over 26 years, never once have I been disappointed. I have recommended this place countless times to my family and friends. For starters, the rooms have a rustic modern style with expansive balconies or patios that include Adirondack chairs for relaxing while taking in the views of the red mountains, which are right in front of you. When awaking in the morning, simply roll up the shades, and you can enjoy the sunrise on the mountains while in bed or while having a cup of coffee on the loveseat in the seating area. The kitchenette is a nice addition, especially on hiking days. You can make yourself a simple breakfast prior to your morning hike(s). On lazier days, the addition of the restaurant was a major upgrade within the past few years. One request for management: The coffeemakers could use an upgrade to full-sized models with additional coffee mugs also stocked. However, I will note the availability of a small drawer-type dishwasher that is also included in the kitchenette. Location: The DPI is conveniently located in Springdale with a shuttle stop right in front of the hotel. There are many restaurant, shopping, and art/photo galleries located easily within walking distance. The entrance to Zion National Park is just a short shuttle ride (1mile) to the visitor's center or short car ride to the entrance to the park. I appreciate management's ability to maintain the beauty of the rooms and grounds over the years. The pool and spa are always in great shape. Electric vehicle parking spots have also been added. One future upgrade request: I like the bathroom design with separate sink/closet area and separate shower/toilet area. The pocket sliding doors are also a nice space-saving feature. However, I would like to see a shower makeover to a larger, more modern walk-in design rather than a tub and shower curtain (I do appreciate the curved curtain rod to gain space.) design. Overall, I rate this 5-stars. The Desert Pearl is truly one of my favorite hotels of all time. I look forward to my next visit!

The hosts made amazing breakfasts every morning and even surprised us with a cake during our stay in celebration of our 10th anniversary.

The…read morehistoric home is filled with beautiful knickknacks, collectibles, and antiques that constantly remind onlookers of days gone by. Adding to this nostalgic atmosphere is Kathy, the host, who provides meaning and memories for everything in the home. While stepping back in time is enjoyable, and discovering something new in each room is entertaining, the experience of staying at the inn is very much modern and comfortable. If you are ever in Kanab, a stay at the Inn is a must. Kathy's attention to her guests enhances the pleasure of staying at the inn. Her attention to detail is boundless. The coziness of the bed and bedding, along with her thoughtful care of her guests, does not go unnoticed. And, of course, one cannot compliment her breakfasts enough. Delicious fruit, beautifully displayed, fresh juice of your choice, and mouthwatering entrées are all part of the experience. If you don't already have plans, Kathy will help you with her ideas, resourcefulness, maps, and brochures. Her husband, Tory, available when he can be, is also a gracious host and tends the bountiful garden that supplies much of Kathy's cooking. The two are so much fun to get to know and share conversations with, and it's clear that they are just as delighted by their guests, whether they've come from across the globe or just a state away. I didn't expect to make such lasting memories, but I can confidently say that you cannot go wrong choosing the Purple Sage Inn.

Living near the beach has it's perks but one thing we don't experience at home is snow.  During our stay we experienced light snow flurries.  It was magical walking through the snow and watching the farm being snowed on.  It was like the scene at the start of Citizen Kane with the snow globe shaken up and snow landing everywhere.  I loved feeling the light pieces of snow landing on me. Very nice cabin.  I loved how well insulated it was.  I noticed the temperature went down to 11F at 6am.  Inside the cabin was toasty with the portable heater set on low. Kitchen had a mini-fridge/freezer which was able to hold 3 of my ice packs plus a quart of ice cream.  I might have gotten a half gallon of ice cream in but then none of my ice packs would fit.  There was a microwave, plates, and utensils. Lots of farm animals to check out.  We saw chickens in the chicken coop.  Goats in their pen.  A donkey.  Cows.  A few cats.  A very friendly dog owned by the staff. Staff was very nice and informative. I loved staying at the Arrowhead Country Inn & Cabins

Usually they…read moredon't open until spring, however their open date just happen to overlap with my itinerary. Even though we stayed during the last week of March, the temperatures were in the teens at night and the 30's during the day. It lightly snowed which was so beautiful to see, while not really affecting the roads. The cabin had two space heaters, one for the bathroom and one for the remaining area. They have a total of seven cabins, a gift shop (with wonderfully handmade scented goat milk soaps, lotions and more) small restaurant, pool/spa (open only when warm), a farm with goats, cows, mules, chickens (one duck), miniature ponies and one cat. I just don't know where to begin as it's obvious every detail has been well thought out and executed. The gift shop is just full of lovely handmade items. The goat milk is sourced from yes you guessed it, the goats on the farm. The breakfast that is included with your stay each morning is made with eggs from the cute chickens on the farm. Plenty of extra blankets and pillows are provided. The bed has a nice extra pillow top, making it super comfortable. A mini kitchen comes with; a small refrigerator/freezer, coffee maker, dishes, glasses, microwave and plenty of towels/washcloths. The shower (in the garden cabin) is huge and wheelchair accessible for those who need it. Towels, soap and shampoo is provided. There is a small table inside as well as outside by the front door patio. I really appreciated the thoughtful binder (found inside the cabin) containing loads of information about the surrounding area. As it gave me many ideas of how to plan my day. They are located near the east entrance to Zion National Park and close to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. You can walk around the grounds and say hello to the farm animals. I chatted with the chickens, goats and the friendly cat. The chicken coop is huge with an automatic door (so they can go in/out) that closes at dusk. Keeping them safe from pesky predators. The goat barn is cozy with heaters. They were a bit reluctant to come out, that is until they thought I had food! The birds visit the grass area in front of the cabin, hopping around and pausing now and then to gaze back in my direction. I'd love to see this place in full spring bloom. With all of the trees and plants blooming. This place feels like home. Definitely will plan to visit on my next trip this way.
