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!

Nicest house we’ve ever rented
Sometimes these places come across great in photos but are not quite as pristine in person. not so with this home. It was gorgeous! Every detail is thought out to perfection and every need anticipated. Very clean. We stayed over Christmas and Julie had the place decorated so nicely which our kids loved. Comfortable beds. We loved the animals and visiting with the owners. We visited Grand Canyon, Bruce canyon, and Zion during our visit and also took advantage of some local kanab attractions. Loved it and would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay.

Lovely home
We had an unforgettable stay in this beautiful house in Kanab, Utah! Our party of 8 couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The house itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. It provided all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The highlight for us was the spacious kitchen and living area, which made it easy for our group to come together for meals and quality time. The bedrooms were comfortable, and everyone had their own space. Kanab is a fantastic base for exploring the stunning natural wonders of Utah, and this house was the ideal home away from home during our adventures. We enjoyed hikes in the nearby canyons, starry nights, and the tranquility of the area. The communication with the property owner or manager was excellent, and they were always ready to assist with any questions or requests. We loved their horses, goats and puppies too. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat in Utah. It made our trip truly memorable, and we can't wait to come back!

Perfect views and location
This house exceeds 5 stars. It is immaculately clean and well situated for daytime activities. We easily went to Bryce, Zion, Horseshoe Bend, and North Rim of Grand Canyon. Jim and Julie are wonderful hosts. They do respect your privacy but are happy to visit if you wish. You will feel secluded yet secure knowing the host is close by in case something happens with the house. I found it comforting that the host is near because I knew any problems that may arise would be immediately addressed. With that said, we had no problem whatsoever. I would stay there again without any hesitation. Thanks Jim and Julie. 5++ stars!!

This place was perfect. Perfect location - Zion, Bryce Canyon, North Rim, and Lake Powell all within an hour to an hour and a half. Kanab has a lot to offer as well. Perfect house and property. Beautiful home with no detail overlooked, on a great lot with awesome views. Horses, dogs, and goats on the ranch that make it feel more like home. Perfect hosts. Julie and Jim were friendly, accommodating, and helpful with recommendations for sights to see in the area. If we ever make it back to Utah we will certainly stay here again.

National Parks checklist
We came to UT for our daughter’s high school graduation trip. There were 7 of us (2 parents and 5 kids ages 15-21). Our stay could not have been more perfect. I was convinced we would miss not having a pool or hot tub but I was wrong. The front porch was perfect for coffee and the sunrise. The back porch was where we played table games. Corn hole was great too! But allllll the touches inside are what made it special. The note and gift for my daughter in honor of her graduation, the snacks and coffee, the shampoos and soaps…. The house was immaculate and the beds were comfy. My son played Xbox without one complaint about the WiFi! It was the perfect location for trips to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, Bryce Canyon, Zion and a few local spots. We loved coffee at Taro in Kanab. The grocery stores are a bit limited but they had what we needed. Couldn’t recommend this house more! Truly was a perfect place to call home base for a week.

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!

We LOVED Red Mesa Ranch!!!
Red Mesa Ranch was base camp for our Southern Utah/Northern Arizona week of adventures. There were seven of us, from 28 to 60. The location is ideal - off the beaten path just enough, yet only a ten minute drive to downtown Kanab for great food and any other necessities. 45 minutes to Zion, 1 1/2 hours to Bryce Canyon and an hour to Page, AZ. Julie and Jim have done an incredible job making the home so warm and welcoming - right down to the personalized sign when we arrived! They've thought of everything. The house is beautiful inside and out, has nice furnishings and very comfortable beds. It's well-stocked with toiletries, paper products, laundry and dishwasher detergents, spices, games, Corn Hole and SO much more. I can't express how comfortable we all were and how much we all loved spending time together there after a long day of hiking and exploring. We enjoyed it so much we opted to spend one of our days hanging out, playing corn hole, meeting the owners' horses and dogs, cooking, etc. Thank you Julie and Jim - it was a privilege staying at your place. It played a big part in our awesome week in Kanab!

This property is amazing!!! We stayed here with another couple and our 2 18yo sons. The owner provided everything from toiletries to spices for cooking. They were very responsive to questions or needs. I needed help with the TV when everyone was gone hiking and he had us fixed within 15min. Close to so many parks. Make sure you visit the tribal arts store in Freedonia. They have a wonderful variety of local jewelry and arts. We are looking forward to staying here again!! Thank you Julie and Jim!!
