Family reunion perfect for 4 couples

Annual sibling trip where usually my siblings squabble over limited king beds and my youngest sister always feels like she’s relegated to the least appealing room. At East Zion, each of us had a king bed and no room was less desirable than the next. Perfectly located to enjoy Zion NP with side trip to Bryce Canyon and various nearby surprises, like Red Canyon and Peekaboo. We’ll be back. The hosts dealt with minor maintenance issues immediately. Kitchen perfect.

Amazing Zion family vacation

We were very happy with this property. It had enough space for everyone. A game room for the kids. A large kitchen, dining and family room for us all to gather at the start and end of each day. The location was beautiful and set in a great community with more for everyone. I would absolutely recommend!

Best vacay rental to date!

This was the first vacation rental where the property was actually better in person than the pictures! Beautiful cabin with a great layout! They went above and beyond to make sure the cabin was stocked with anything that we could’ve possibly needed. The hosts were quick to respond anytime I had a question. We highly recommend this rental!

Book It!!

As we sit in the airport heading home I want to make sure to review this property because I can get too busy and not get to it. This property deserves to be reviewed well!! Our family of seven- 3 couples and a single adult were so comfortable here. The bedrooms are spread out and each has an attached bath giving a higher degree of privacy. We could all sit at the dining table to eat, all watch a movie together. All fit comfortably in the hot tub. Many homes can sleep a lot of people but fall short in the other areas but this one delivers on all notes. It is comfortable with reclining sofas in the main living area, plenty of glasses,pots, pans, utensils casserole dishes. There are blow dryers in the bathrooms and the beds are very comfortable. Hot water worries because a lot of people are wanting to shower at the same time —- no worries plenty of hot water here! The home was clean fresh attractive hits on all notes. We had a great stay doing Zion and Bryce Canyons and highly recommend this home!

Zion

The cabin was beautiful and fully equipped for everything you need on your Zion vacation. We cooked dinners each night, and was glad to see spices and oils already there. It is conveniently located about 45 minutes from Zion National Park and 1.5 hours from Bryce Canyon. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Zion Family Vacation

This property is amazing! The house was super clean and had all the amenities. We loved the hot tub and the game room. You can hike into Zion right from a trail in the backyard. The adjacent resort provides a shuttle service to additional trail heads. The owners are awesome. We had an issue with the coffee maker and they got us a brand new one the same day. The general location is perfect for Zion and Bryce. You will love this place.

Clear 10/10

New build in a new neighborhood - attached to the Ponderosa Creek resort. The property itself was great - yard was large, house was BEAUTIFUL. Pictures don't do it justice. Kitchen/Pantry among the most well stocked we've seen in a VRBO. Plenty of spices, laundry pods, aluminum foil, food storage containers, ziplock baggies - anything that you needed was there. We used all the amenities - hot tub, grill, arcade, pool table and air hockey table. Grill is new and well maintained. Very clean, everything felt very new. The home felt high end. About 20 mins outside of Zion; about 1.5 hours away from Bryce National Park. All previous reviews are correct in warning that you need to stop at a grocery on the way in. The owners also sent us a note that we should get groceries before arriving. The closet (small) grocery store is 20 mins away. There's a cafeteria at Ponderosa Ranch resort that you can access in a pinch. We are book marking this place to stay again!

Zions Ponderosa

This house was absolutely amazing for my family during our stay at Zion Ponderosa. The basement was set up perfectly for kids, the air hockey and pool table definitely got used. The kitchen was phenomenal, they stocked it with everything we needed to cook for a large family. The hot tub was great, especially since we had some colder weather and couldn't use the resorts pool and hot tub. The house looks new and everything was immaculate. We would definitely stay here again! Additionally, the communication with the owners was very helpful.

November Holiday

The house was just as described if not better. We didn't even have a chance to use the pool table and air hockey in the basement while we visited Zion and Bryce. Beautiful setting. We appreciated all the little extras like spices, coffee, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner etc... We were a group of seven and chose this home as it provided the best layout for bedrooms and gathering space. Hosts were responsive to a question or two but most info was provided. We hope to be back.

Great stay.

House was fantastic. Very well appointed. The house is about an hour from Springdale. And it is in the middle of nowhere. I would stock up on groceries from Springdale or Kanab and cook. There is only June local restaurant which is average at best. Everything you need is at this house. Deer are everywhere….so be very aware while driving there. Highly recommend.
