Simply amazing!

We enjoyed three wonderful nights at the Red Mesa Ranch. The house and property were exactly as described and even better in person! The house was immaculate, offered incredible views and plenty of space for the four of us. It allowed us to venture out to the National Parks, Peek-a-Boo Canyon, & Antelope Canyon easily. Kanab was a short drive to town. The horses, goats, and dogs on property made it even more special! We wished we would have stayed longer! We hope to visit again!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

I wish I could give them 10 stars!

The property was immaculate and Julie and Jim were the most incredible hosts! They went out of their way to make us feel SO welcome! From the welcome sign on the door with our name, to a tray of extra treats. The small details and their thoughtfulness made a big difference! We loved every second of our stay at their place! One more thing….I always look at VRBO reviews to see if there are comments about how comfortable the bed is….it was perfection!

Perfect location for national parks!!

We had the most incredible vacation! Julie and Jim were extremely accommodating! My kids absolutely loved the animals on the property! We spent multiple days hiking in Zion and Bryce. We also visited the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Horse Shoe bend, kayaked on Lake Powell and saw the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. The location of this property was perfect to acess all of these natural, beautiful areas!

Amazing place to stay

We were 2 families with 4 kids, aged 10-16, and this place was amazing. Everyone had their own space and it was the perfect home base for exploring the area. It had everything we needed for stay. The hosts were very friendly and keep the place well stocked! Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

This stay feels like your home not landing somewhere temporary. Hosts are very sweet, the home is very clean, beautifully themed decorations, and a great location right in the middle of all the national parks. Also, great things to sight see and hike in Kanab. We can’t say enough how nice it was and how much we thoroughly enjoyed this house. Your stay can make or break your experience of vacation and this one will not disappoint!

The property looked exactly like photos listed. Had a great week stay in a central location between a bunch of National Parks. Owners are accessible enough if a problem arises, but also have a ton of privacy. Best rental I've stayed in, and worth every penny!

Julie and Jim were amazing hosts, perfectly real and friendly. You can tell they have a lot of pride in where they live and what they are doing. The house was a perfect place to land after long days of exploring and being outdoors. Very clean and had everything we needed. The views from each room of the house were perfection. We will go back!

National Parks trip

The property was beautiful inside and out. There were 5 in our group. We drove to different parks during the day and returned at night. We loved sitting around the fireplace and relaxing. Beds were so comfortable and room for all. Close to Kanab for dining and shopping. Could not have enjoyed it more.

About the host

Hosted by Julie Alexander

Host profile image
I am a Utah native, from the Northern end of the state. With a love for the outdoors, I fell in love with the red rock, and beauty of Southern Utah, and all it has to offer. My Husband is a Texan, born and bred, but has found that there is no place he would rather be as well. We live on the property, and love that we can share our place with you...Your privacy is always our priority. We love that we get to meet so many great people from all over.

Why they chose this property

This property was built with you in mind. A great central location with adventures in every direction, yet a few miles from shopping and restaurants makes for an amazing vacation getaway. The perfect way to end your days adventures. BBQ and relax on the patio with friends & family as the sun sets over the mesa, and the stars fill the dark skies.

What makes this property unique

You will love the open open space! We are surrounded by beautiful red rock views, on 5 acres, and back up to BLM land (Bureau of Land Management) property with the Mesa, and hiking right out the back door, and Johnson Canyon less than a 1/4 mile to the east with so many great trails for hiking, horses, and ATV's. You can gather around the firepit, at the end of the day to make S'mores and Chat about your days adventures under a blanket of stars. The horses, and goats are always up for a visit, and love interacting with you.
