ROMANTIC ENCHANTED COTTAGE WITH PRIVATE HOT TUB & POOL ACCESS ON PRIVATE RANCH

Imagine driving to a secret hideaway nestled in a deep canyon with a beautiful tree-lined stream running through it - a magical land that borders the west side of majestic Zion National Park. Our enchanting, romantic Cottage is situated on the famous 750 acre Sunset Canyon Ranch conveniently located for adventures in Zion National Park, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Snow Canyon, and even Las Vegas. After a day of exploring our breathtaking country with the hustle and bustle of other tourists, you can look forward to returning to the comfort of your private Shangri-la.

Romantic, cozy, and comfortable! The Cottage is ideal for an amorous getaway or just a rejuvenating, peaceful retreat for two! 850 sq. ft, with living, dining, kitchen, bath, and master bedroom. TV in the bedroom as well as living room. Wood burning fireplace (seasonally) Private patio with bbq, outdoor dining, and year-round hot-tub under the stars. You'll find many amenities in addition to hiking, biking, and exploring Zion Park, including a sport-court for playing pickleball, tennis, or basketball, access to the ranch pool and ping-pong table, catch and release fishing on our pond, and the luxury of getting away to a quiet, peaceful, private domain.

If you don't feel like cooking, enjoy one of the many wonderful restaurants in Virgin, Springdale, LaVerkin, or Hurricane. then escape from the bustling crowds back to your own kingdom.

The west side of Zion National Park, only two minutes by car, is one of the best-kept secrets and is home to some of Zion's most famous hikes, including the Subway, West Rim, and Hop Valley. Here you can also investigate ancient caves with Indian Petroglyphs or discover rare dinosaur tracks. The Park's main entrance in Springdale is only 18 minutes away where shuttles will take you to the many other hikes the Park has to offer, such as Angel's Landing, Weeping Rock, Sinewava, and Emerald Pools. You’ll find terrific shopping and dining in Springdale as well.

For many years we've opened our doors to travelers from all over the world and the telling tale is this: they come back again and again and refer us to their friends and family. Accommodations fill up quickly, so booking early in the season is suggested.

Thoughtful Host and Beautiful Setting
We had a wonderful anniversary getaway at Mrs. Vickie’s cottage retreat. The location was perfect for what we were desiring - a short drive to Zion National Park and only a couple of hours away from Bryce Canyon. The homesite itself is a beautiful valley nestled between amazing rock formations. They have horse pastures, a lake, pickleball court, and other homes within the gated property. The host’s hospitality was fantastic, including freshly baked cookies and hot chocolate prepared for us by the fireplace that was all set up and ready to go. The cottage is stocked with many thoughtful amenities, and a grocery store is nearby. The hot tub after a day of hiking was a treat, and the bed was extremely comfortable. We had a great time and completely recommend this listing!

Heaven on earth.
Totally Zen experience at the ranch. Quite solitude with only the burbling creek as backdrop. Towering canyon cliffs surrounding white fenced pastures, horse barns and this charming little cottage. At sunset, the far canyon wall glows in red and orange. This is a very special place. Hank and Vickie are extremely professional and friendly hosts.

We were looking for something quiet and peaceful, we got both and much more. The location of the cottage is in one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen, should be on a postcard. Loved spending time on the patio and in the hot tub. Plus, fresh made cookies. Wow!

Enchanted is an understatement!
My husband and I were indeed “enchanted” from the moment we pulled into this property! It is beautiful and picturesque, as is the surrounding area. Our hosts, Vickie and Hank, made us feel special and right at home. It was a treat to meet them! Every amenity and detail a traveler could want was provided. The cottage is comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-appointed. Vickie thought of everything and even gave us some lesser-known hiking ideas in Kolob Canyon.This was more than “a place to stay”; it is a destination in itself. I’d really like to keep it a secret!

When the Locals Call it “Heaven”
What a magical place to rest & relax regardless of your level of adventures in the region. Vickie & Hank could not have been more welcoming…and I had everything I needed & then some in the beautiful, well-appointed cottage on their 700 acre ranch. And as an aside, when the locals know & rave about the people you’re renting from AND refer to their ranch as “heaven,” you know you’re in great hands at one of the best places in the area :)

Wonderful place and people
Vickie and Hank are the best from when we showed up until we left. Vickie walked us through the cottage when we arrived, and even helped with our luggage. The place is very private and a joy to return to after the craziness of Zion. I already miss Hank and his early morning runs. We need to say thanks one last time to Vickie and Hank.

Best. VRBO. Ever.
If I could have given this cottage 6 stars I would have. This is the best vacation rental I've ever booked. It was the perfect home base for me and my wife on our honeymoon. Quiet, private, comfortable, and clean with an extremely well-stocked kitchen. We spent several nights stargazing from the hot tub and one night enjoyed a fire in the fireplace (prepared for us in advance - just had to light it). The cottage felt like an oasis in the mountains. The location was great, on the West side of Zion not too far from Virgin, La Verkin, and Springdale. Beyond the cottage itself, though, was our incredible host Vickie. This was our first time visiting this area and roughly 90% of our plans came directly from the copious suggestions she provided. She was very responsive and helpful with questions we had about the area during our stay. And she even gave us a bottle of wine and a lovely card to congratulate us on our marriage. While we also had some very good fortune weather-wise for our trip, booking this cottage was the number one reason that we had the perfect honeymoon.

Loved this cottage!
This was the first rental out of many I’ve stayed that ended up being exactly as listed. The place is very clean and cozy. It had we everything needed for our stay and felt like “home.” I appreciated that Vickie walked us through when we arrived to show us around and explain how things worked in the cottage. WiFi in the cottage worked great the entire stay. Streaming on tv only glitched the first night we were there, but some rainy weather was passing over when it happened. WiFi on phones still worked throughout the rainy or cloudy days without issue. The location is easy to get to and cottage itself is private. Waze GPS (on Verizon) worked well to get us there even though signal is weak right before the entrance. 5G service was close enough to allow the map to work all the way there. When leaving, we’d have to drive a few minutes before regaining service to enter a destination in, so we just had to know which direction we were headed when leaving. If we decide to travel back to Zion, this is definitely the place I’d stay!

Amazing stay in beautiful Zion country
Our hosts Vickie and Hank were absolutely wonderful! The cottage was so meticulously decorated and the pictures surely do not do it justice!! There were so many thoughtful touches in the cottage from condiments and staples to Enhance the groceries we brought to the thoughtful little “birthday cake bites” so elegantly displayed for my birthday! Their ranch is spectacular and I absolutely loved their big Pyrenees/Bernard dog Wickie! We had a splendid, restful and peaceful time and so close to everything we wanted to visit without the hassle of crowds! Would absolutely come back!!

About the host

Hosted by Vickie Moyle

Host profile image
We purchased this working ranch in 1993 after retiring from a very busy life in the big city. We never dreamed it would bring us such peace, joy, and wonderful associations with people from all over the world who have chosen to stay with us. We consider ourselves blessed to wake up in Zions every day!

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like the Sunset Canyon Ranch in the whole of Zions. To be able to spend the day out in the various parks (Zions, Bryce, north rim of the Grand Canyon, Snow Canyon) and the myriad other tourist activities is great fun --- but to return to the exclusivity, privacy, beauty and comfort of one of the most remarkable settings after the bustling crowds is heaven itself! Our clients never fail to tell us how lucky they feel to have found our property to rent!

What makes this property unique

Romantic experience amidst unrivaled beauty and peace! Whether you are honeymooning or just seeking a magical getaway for two, you'd be hard-pressed to outshine your exclusive experience at the Sunset Canyon Ranch.
