Nice stay for visiting Zion NP
Lots of activities on the ranch (horseback riding, swimming, supboarding etc.) and lay-out was great. However, some facilities were in need of some remodelling and the cleaning of bath-/restroom need more attention. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay here and it is a great option for when you are planning to visit Zion NP.

Amazing! Worth a longer stay
We regret not staying more than 1 night! We saw once we got there SO many activities on the property we just didnt get a chance to enjoy due to arriving late and leaving early but I could have stayed a week to reall enjoy all they had to offer. We had a cowboy suite which was amazing and there were no issues with any of the property or stay at all!

This resort has so many things to do that you cannot get bored. It is the perfect place to come with children. Our cabin was clean and had plenty of space. The taco truck was delicious. We will be coming back to stay here again.

we unfortunately were only passing through, and did not spend much time at the resort; but i can say the staff were kind and professional, the cabin was clean and beautiful, and the beds were wonderful. we were 4 adults a child and 2 dogs - the price was incredible for fitting us all; AND it was 15 min from the park. i highly recommend!
