Property was conveniently located for our Zion trip. While they are making improvements by adding an RV park the current facilities seem a bit rundown. They could use more than one restroom up the hill. Its a scary walk alone at night to use facilities. Showers and restrooms were clean but the shower curtains doors and fixtures need replacing. They need more yard maintenance especially around cabins and pool.

Great place to stay & their wood fired pizza is great! Cute cabins with AC. Staff was friendly & helpful. Pools & hot tubs clean. Expedia said they were 5 miles from the entrance of Zion which is true but you have another 12 miles to parking & visitors center so plan accordingly. I’d stay here again!

Didnt get the cabin I reserved through Expedia. My son had to sleep on a pull out couch because they didnt give me the cabin we ordered. Not sure if that was the resorts fault or expedia. I recommend you contact the property after you make your reservations to ensure they have reserved the correct cabin. Cabin smelled like rotten eggs when we arrived. Poured water down the drains and opened windows and it got better but never fully went away. You could also smell rotten eggs outside in the air on occasion. Otherwise it was a cool place. Full service snack bar by front desk, gift shop, restaurant on property, climbing wall, UTV tours, Golf carts, 2 pools with slides, putt putt, tennis courts, beautiful views, and goats

We booked our two day stay with our grandchildren to enjoy Zion. When booking on Expedia, it clearly stated that breakfast was included. We took our grandchildren down for breakfast and was informed that that special ended in May but it still shows up on Expedia and they would not, honor. My grandchildren ordered French toast and the toast was so hard and cold. You could hardly eat it. The cabin was not clean. There was garbage in the drawers underneath the bed was full of dust, bunnies and garbage that looks like it hasn’t been clean for days. The dresser was filthy not dusted in a long time. We had to use facilities for showering and bathroom by needs. The showers are in desperate need of major repair. My suggestions really take folks reviews seriously check on your staff to make sure that the facilities your guests are staying in are clean repair the showers and make sure food that folks eat is fresh and hot not cold and stale and this property would get a very good rating

I would not recommend. Shared bathroom means walking or driving to a pool house to shower or use the restroom. The amenities shown (mini golf, rock wall, golf carts) are all additional fees. This resort has you driving through Zion to reach them & paying $35 & then if you return to Zion, you pay another $35! They do a limited shuttle for $30 pp. The pizza was good. Stay West of Zion.

Don't rent a Cowboy Cabin. They do not have A/C in them. I was there in July, 100°+ during the day. Took till 4AM with a floor fan blasting us and the windows open to cool down. The "shared" bathroom was about 100 ft. from the cabin and could be shared by Six cabins. There was no sink in the room, either. For this I paid more than $180 for the night. I inquired at the desk in the morning and the manager moved me to a cabin suite for the same price. It was a tremendous improvement.
