Great stay in Kanab

The home was perfect for our group. It was comfortable, clean and in great condition. The host made check in easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. We enjoyed the central location in Kanab with ready walking access to downtown and restaurants. The “heart of the parks” location was a big bonus for our drives to the Grand Canyon, Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks.

The absolute best place to stay!

This amazing historical home is absolutely the best place we have ever stayed. The decor is stunning and everything is comfortable and convenient. The house is within walking distance of Kanab- a beautiful little town, and is convenient to several parks and attractions. The host is very helpful, and there are lots of brochures and booklets to assist you with your planning. We loved the place and hated to leave.

Perfect launching point

This property was a perfect launching point for many adventures, including National Parks, dark sky viewing, and an ATV tour. The property was very comfortable and as advertised. The town is very nice, good dining options, friendly folks, and mostly walkable from the property.

Perfect Kanab Stay

We really enjoyed our stay in the Pugh house. The house itself was very comfortable and warm. Since there was no central heating, we were concerned about being cold but we were warm and cozy. The house itself is beautiful and full of amazing antiques. The location is perfect. We walked into town each and every day. Quite a place to stay and we will choose to stay with these owners again!

great locale

we had stayed in a hotel in Kanab in the past as well as camped.. but with five active adult hikers we tried the 1906 house and weren't disappointed. very nice historic well maintained property with modern amenities right in the middle of town. we enjoyed cooking out on the patio and watching the stars from the porch during the evening after extended hiking into the Kanab back country every day. the rustic furniture is great and the dining table is just what the pioneers would have used! We'll be staying again!

Beautifully restored historic home

We loved our stay! We were there at Thanksgiving, and made our own Thanksgiving day meal! The kitchen was perfect! We found everything we needed. We all appreciated the well restored home! Everything had a vintage look, but felt fresh and new at the same time. This is not your great grandma's rundown home!!! The hosts were friendly and responsive to any questions we had.

We travel a lot and I do believe this is the most well equipped house we have rented. TP , paper towels, shampoo , soap laundry soap everything you need and more!! The house was very very clean and a great location. Walk to Dinner, shopping and breakfast. 20 minute drive to Zion, 45 Min drive to Antalope Canyon, 15 min drive to Coral Dunes. Also close to North Rim Grand Canyon. Very Nice! Perfect Location!!

Great location

The home itself was part of are vacation. We had so much fun just studying all the antiques and the history of the home. It was a perfect fit for my family. Plenty of off road parking for are ATV,s and in close proximity trails to ride. We also took a side trip to the North Rim, only two hours away. We just had a grat time. Stephen Bench

Kanab 4th of July 2024

We had such a great time in Kanab. This home was in a perfect location for the things we wanted to do. There was plenty of room and it was very well stocked. My only issue was with the front door step. As an older woman, it was somewhat difficult getting in and out because the step was do high. I suggest the addition of a small step. Thank you for making this house available to visitors to your lovely community!

Historic yet homey feel

This house was perfect for our family vacation! It’s such a gorgeous space — we marveled at its architecture and decor. We also very much appreciated its central locale: we were able to quickly walk to restaurants, coffee shops, 3 grocery stores and a gym, but also quickly get on the road to major attractions like Best Friends, Zion and the North Rim. At the end of a long day, the house felt very inviting to come home to, and did a great job offering communal areas where all gathered to cook and eat, but also plenty of space to spread out and relax separately. We’re already hoping to return to this lovely house in the future!

House is super clean

The house is so charming and clean. All three bedrooms are great, no arguments over who got what room. House is spotless, no dust on anything including baseboards. I have never stayed in a rental that was this clean. Kitchen is well stocked. The kitchen was fun to cook breakfast in. The pictures do not show how charming the house is and how big it is. Every corner is decorated perfectly. When we walked into the house we all had huge smiles looking everywhere. We walked to restaurants and shops. Super easy to check in. Owner gave clear information of everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Chad and Sheree Checketts

Host profile image
My wife and I love spending time with family. We also love to travel. We were both raised in smaller communities and love the rural atmosphere of Kanab. I like being "handy" and fixing things up, and Sheree loves creating warm environments.

We hope you'll love, enjoy, and help us take good care of our Kanab home so that as many as possible can enjoy its unique atmosphere!

Why they chose this property

My wife and I love the friendliness and warmth of Kanab and are pleased to be able to be a small part of this vibrant community. We have collected antiques for years and appreciate craftsmanship. We also love architecture. We enjoy traveling and visiting our beautiful national parks and historic locations. We take advantage of the numerous ATV trails and destinations. So our new home is sort of the confluence of all we love and enjoy.

What makes this property unique

More than just a comfortable place to stay, our home is filled with history. Staying here, you're not just close to four of our greatest natural wonders, you're surrounded by red rock, activities galore, countless things to see like dinosaur tracks, The Wave and petroglyphs, and able to see and feel history. You're going to love it as much as we do! You can see more about it by visiting our website. We've compiled a helpful list of places to go, things to see, activities to do and places to shop, eat and relax!
