New Cozy 2 Bedroom -1 Bath Ranch House

Wait no longer! A PRIVATE viewing of Elk, Deer and Turkeys in a surreal setting. Our ranch house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and is very quaint and cozy! It is nestled in an aspen tree grove on a private ranch. Our elevation is about 7500 ft. in the mountains, making the cooler air a real treat after a full day of hiking in the National Parks. This ranch is the heart of where the deer and elk make their summer home. This little piece of heaven is an absolute must for the person looking for an amazing experience and not just a place to lay your head. It is an excursion all in itself! This is the perfect place to escape from the world and enjoy nature! The Ranch House now has WIFI!! Cell phone service is very spotty. You will enjoy a scenic 1 mile drive on a graded dirt road to the ranch house. The view from the porch is unlimited!! Our ranch house is a unique opportunity to view wildlife up close, but it is absolutely necessary to keep the noise to a minimum to get that experience. You will view elk, turkey and deer on the front lawn. There is an outdoor cooking area with a charcoal bbq grills and picnic table. The area is covered with a aspen log pergola with a hot tub and the view of wildlife in the meadow for a great outdoor dining experience. A place like no other!

Absolutely no pets and no smoking!!!!

Our ranch house is centrally located between Zion, Bryce and Cedar Breaks National Monument. Enjoy the amazing scenery and famous hiking trails. Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake and Panguitch Lake are within minutes of the ranch house along with several excellent fly-fishing streams/rivers. There are over 500 miles of atv trails. During the summer, enjoy the beautiful wild flowers and wildlife.

This cozy, quaint ranch house is fully furnished with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. There is satellite TV/DVD for your convenience. There is a queen size bed in bedroom 1 and a queen size bed in bedroom 2. For sure, this is a great home base for your Southern Utah Vacation. Just minutes away you'll enjoy visiting the national parks, taking in a fishing day, ATV or horseback riding, a day at the sand dunes, hiking or just a simple picnic.

Fall Season... the color change of the leaves are a sure thing to talk about!

There is an international airport in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. Cedar City has a regional airport as well. Las Vegas and Salt Lake City are both linked with Interstate 15 with an exit to Cedar City. It's just a short 45 minutes on a beautiful scenic drive up the mountain on Highway 14 to our ranch house.

Should you happen to forget something, there is Tod's Country Store that is just 2 miles away and has a pretty good selection. Groceries, gas, beer, ice, soft serve ice cream and a self-serve grill to cook your hamburger or steak sandwich to your perfection!!
Come visit, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful quiet location

We stayed at this house for 3 nights. The house was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was great. And the view was spectacular - deer, turkeys and elk every day. The hosts were very responsive. This was a great location for us while we were visiting Bryce. Thank you Mark and Amy!

Magnificent Views

This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed in! The wildlife was unbelievable! Our first night there we saw over one hundred mule deer, dozens of turkeys and the largest bull elk we have ever seen! The cabin was very comfortable with all the amenities that we needed. They even had two spotting scopes so we could see all the wildlife up close. The cabin is within driving distance to numerous national and state parks making our stay one we will never forget!

Amazing Stay!

We had such a great weekend. The house is so unique! Isolated, quiet, fun! The deer and elk were a highlight of the trip, as well as the hot tub. We purchased the fresh meal kits at Smith’s on our way down and so we had everything we needed at the cabin. Recommend you take care of food before you get there since options are minimal. We will be back!

Underestimated the beauty of this rental!!

The property was amazing to say the least. It is the definition of tranquility. Last house on a gravel road, with absolutely nobody to pester you. We fed the mule deer and watched elk every night all from a hot tub. Loved this place and will be renting again if we vacation in Utah again.

National Park Anniverary Getaway

This property was very secluded. It was such a treat to have so many animals to watch each morning and late afternoon. And the stargazing from the front lawn was spectacular. We took day trips to Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks and the drive was just right. If you are looking for peace and quiet and somewhere that has all the amenities and lots of privacy this place is perfect.

Wilderness Paradise

This well maintained 2 bed 1 bath cabin is the perfect place to escape the trappings of city/ suburbia life and live among the wild. Every morning with our coffee we sat out front and watched the deer and wild turkeys come down for breakfast. Same thing at dinner time only now the Elk joined in. This cabin had all that we needed in the way of kitchen utensils, towels, internet, washer & dryer, and soaps. It was a short distance from both Zion and Bryce which made it a great place to stay and visit the canyons. And it is a very secluded location. In fact it is so secluded that the windows don't have curtains! What a fantastic find! We will be back.

Always a fantastic experience at the Elk Cabin

We have visited this beautiful property over ten times, spanning twelve years. This is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences anyone can ever hope for. We spend hours on the front porch watching all the wildlife that use the expansive pasture this cabin overlooks. Thank you Mark & Amy for making this wonderful property available for us to book.

Great getaway cabin between Bryce Canyon Nat.Park and Zion Nat. Park

This Cabin is quaint and just secluded enough. We saw tons of Turkey at dawn and deer at dusk. The cabin was the perfect size for me and my two teenaged kids. We loved that it was an easy drive to both Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. The cabin was clean and in excellent condition. We hope to return soon.

A little piece of heaven

I found this property about two years ago and wanted to book it for our anniversary. However it wasn’t available so I booked it for our next anniversary so almost a year and a half in advance. It was everything that I was counting on and then some. The wildlife came in super close and it was great to be with them at that distance. The privacy and seclusion was like we were the only two alive it was probably the best four days of our lives in a long time. I really want to run it down so nobody will stay so when I want to it’ll be available. However that’s not possible I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for seclusion the best romantic time of their lives. There’s lots to do around the area however you could just stay at the cabin all day long and enjoy nature and the most quiet you’ve ever heard in your life. Can’t wait to get back. Kent &Amy
