It is nestled in an aspen tree grove on a private ranch. Our elevation is about 7500 ft. in the mountains, making the cooler air a real treat after a full day of hiking in the National Parks. This ranch is the heart of where the deer and elk make their summer home. This little piece of heaven is an absolute must for the person looking for an amazing experience and not just a place to lay your head. It is an excursion all in itself! This is the perfect place to escape from the world and enjoy nature! The Ranch House now has WIFI!! Cell phone service is very spotty. You will enjoy a scenic 1 mile drive on a graded dirt road to the ranch house. The view from the porch is unlimited!! Our ranch house is a unique opportunity to view wildlife up close, but it is absolutely necessary to keep the noise to a minimum to get that experience. You will view elk, turkey and deer on the front lawn. There is an outdoor cooking area with a charcoal bbq grills and picnic table. The area is covered with a aspen log pergola with a hot tub and the view of wildlife in the meadow for a great outdoor dining experience. A place like no other!
Absolutely no pets and no smoking!!!!
Our ranch house is centrally located between Zion, Bryce and Cedar Breaks National Monument. Enjoy the amazing scenery and famous hiking trails. Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake and Panguitch Lake are within minutes of the ranch house along with several excellent fly-fishing streams/rivers. There are over 500 miles of atv trails.

The cabin was perfect! And the wildlife was outstanding! We will definitely be staying here again.
This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed in! The wildlife was unbelievable! Our first night there we saw over one hundred mule deer, dozens of turkeys and the largest bull elk we have ever seen! The cabin was very comfortable with all the amenities that we needed. They even had two spotting scopes so we could see all the wildlife up close. The cabin is within driving distance to numerous national and state parks making our stay one we will never forget!
My spouse and I and another couple stayed at the cabin September 2023, it was an incredible vacation. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, the wildlife amazing. The cabin was quaint, clean and very comfortable. Highly recommend the Wildlife Viewing Cabin.
We had such a great weekend. The house is so unique! Isolated, quiet, fun! The deer and elk were a highlight of the trip, as well as the hot tub. We purchased the fresh meal kits at Smith’s on our way down and so we had everything we needed at the cabin. Recommend you take care of food before you get there since options are minimal. We will be back!
Absolutely amazing views from the front porch! The deer, turkeys and elk in the meadow were mesmerizing! Will be staying here again!
Million dollar views, quiet cozy cabin.
This the fourth time we have stayed here and it is great every time.
The property was amazing to say the least. It is the definition of tranquility. Last house on a gravel road, with absolutely nobody to pester you. We fed the mule deer and watched elk every night all from a hot tub. Loved this place and will be renting again if we vacation in Utah again.
This property was very secluded. It was such a treat to have so many animals to watch each morning and late afternoon. And the stargazing from the front lawn was spectacular. We took day trips to Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks and the drive was just right. If you are looking for peace and quiet and somewhere that has all the amenities and lots of privacy this place is perfect.
This well maintained 2 bed 1 bath cabin is the perfect place to escape the trappings of city/ suburbia life and live among the wild. Every morning with our coffee we sat out front and watched the deer and wild turkeys come down for breakfast. Same thing at dinner time only now the Elk joined in. This cabin had all that we needed in the way of kitchen utensils, towels, internet, washer & dryer, and soaps. It was a short distance from both Zion and Bryce which made it a great place to stay and visit the canyons. And it is a very secluded location. In fact it is so secluded that the windows don't have curtains! What a fantastic find! We will be back.
We have visited this beautiful property over ten times, spanning twelve years. This is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences anyone can ever hope for. We spend hours on the front porch watching all the wildlife that use the expansive pasture this cabin overlooks. Thank you Mark & Amy for making this wonderful property available for us to book.
For plenty of wildlife viewing in a relaxing beautiful place, there is none better. Have been here 3 times and still one of our favorite places to visit. Did I mention the wildlife.
We had a fabulous time enjoying the fresh air and all the wildlife. The hot tub was so nice! I spent many hours relaxing on the porch. It was my favorite spot
This Cabin is quaint and just secluded enough. We saw tons of Turkey at dawn and deer at dusk. The cabin was the perfect size for me and my two teenaged kids. We loved that it was an easy drive to both Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park. The cabin was clean and in excellent condition. We hope to return soon.
Loved staying here the view of this place is amazing. Loved the visitors we got humming birds, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, jays, deer, elk and turkeys. The place was very cozy and clean.
An amazing property with lots of wildlife around. Super close to Bryce and other things to see but also nice to just relax away from everything.
Stayed here a couple times and will again. Beautiful area with wildlife viewing at its finest. One of our favorite places.
I found this property about two years ago and wanted to book it for our anniversary. However it wasn’t available so I booked it for our next anniversary so almost a year and a half in advance. It was everything that I was counting on and then some. The wildlife came in super close and it was great to be with them at that distance. The privacy and seclusion was like we were the only two alive it was probably the best four days of our lives in a long time. I really want to run it down so nobody will stay so when I want to it’ll be available. However that’s not possible I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for seclusion the best romantic time of their lives. There’s lots to do around the area however you could just stay at the cabin all day long and enjoy nature and the most quiet you’ve ever heard in your life. Can’t wait to get back. Kent &Amy
Lovely cabin, close to Zion and Bryce parks. Loved coming back to the cabin to watch the wildlife.
Very peaceful cabin. It had everything we needed for a week visiting National Parks. Abundant wildlife every morning and evening just outside the front door. And the stars at night are unbelievable. You don't see those in a big city. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.
My husband and I loved this secluded home. It was so peaceful and exactly what we needed to relax. It was also in the perfect location to visit Bryce and Zion. The house was also very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. We would love to come back.
My wife and I wanted a remote location. This property more than met our expectations. The house is a very basic house but it worked for the two of us. The view of the valley in front of the house is fantastic. There are no other buildings to be seen. We saw mule deer, elk, turkey, pronghorn and numerous birds. One morning we saw an elk run across the valley and chase a coyote. The distance from the house to Bryce Canyon is a 45-60 minute drive which made for long days but it was doable for us. But plan your trips and stock up on food and supplies in Panguitch or Cedar City because there isn't much available close to the house. Duck Creek Village (15 minutes from the house) also had some basic restaurants and stores.
