    Staying here is “good for the soul.” It’s quiet, the scenery is beautiful, and the stargazing was incredible. Jesse and Cali, the owners dog and cat also paid us a few visits which made our days more special. We were about 10 minutes from a grocery store and we were able to cook and eat out on the cabin porch and enjoy the view. The cabin was as described and everything was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed this place and hope to come back soon! Also, Bryce is a short drive away! Do yourself a favor and book it!

    Wonderful rural location that is convenient to Bryce, but relaxed and away from the crowds. The compact cabin was perfect for a pair of grandparents with school-age grandchild, and we cooked almost all our meals there. While the grandson enjoyed Bryce, what he talks about most to his parents is the experiences at the Barn: checking out the chickens, playing with the dog and cats, and fishing and skipping stones in the pond. It was great to get to share this ranch experience with him. The host was welcoming and very responsive to our few questions; made us feel like visiting friends. Many thanks for a terrific stay!

    Great location near Bryce Canyon! We enjoyed being on the ranch, star gazing, and enjoying the Jessie (very friendly Labrador Retriever. The cats and horses were also fun. Watched the field above and saw a Pronghorn grazing. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

    Incredibly beautiful property and the barn was perfect for our family of four. Extremely clean inside and out. We all loved the friendliness of the host and their dog and cats. Perfect location to access Bryce and Red Canyon. Would definitely stay there again!!

    We had an absolutely wonderful 2-night stay at the Barn in early August. It was impeccably clean, which is super important to us - we didn't see one cobweb or bug while we were there. The space is beautifully decorated, the beds very comfortable, and we loved taking our meals on the porch looking out over the landscape and far off cliffs. The quiet was blissful. And being only 25 minutes from Bryce, the location was perfect for us. We got up both mornings while it was still dark and drove over to watch the sunrise over the hoodoos. Highly recommend that! And most highly recommend this wonderful place.

    This chic, rustic barn is just as advertised & in a very picturesque setting within 20-25 minutes of Bryce. It was very clean & comfortable. The bedroom (1 queen & 2 twins) is on the 2nd floor & bathroom is on the 1st floor. There are some wall hooks downstairs for clothes but no closets (we made due -- not a big deal).

    We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this remote cabin/barn! The views were breathtaking, and we couldn't get enough of the peaceful, cozy atmosphere. The cabin was spotless—extremely clean and thoughtfully set up for comfort. Our hosts were incredibly accommodating and friendly, making us feel right at home.We loved the animals on the property, especially the horses and Jesse, the cutest dog who made our mornings extra special. The location was perfect for our adventures to Bryce Canyon and Zion—so close yet tucked away enough to enjoy some quiet time.We highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! A perfect spot for relaxation and exploration.

    Absolutely beautiful setting! The place was pretty small but clean and cozy. The owners also live on the property and were incredibly nice and so welcoming. Jan even sent over homemade zucchini bread for us to enjoy. We loved the place....would definitely recommend.
