New Cozy 2 Bedroom -1 Bath Ranch House

Wait no longer! A PRIVATE viewing of Elk, Deer and Turkeys in a surreal setting. Our ranch house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and is very quaint and cozy! 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. During the summer, enjoy the beautiful wild flowers and wildlife.

This cozy, quaint ranch house is fully furnished with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. There is satellite TV/DVD for your convenience. There is a queen size bed in bedroom 1 and a queen size bed in bedroom 2. For sure, this is a great home base for your Southern Utah Vacation. Just minutes away you'll enjoy visiting the national parks, taking in a fishing day, ATV or horseback riding, a day at the sand dunes, hiking or just a simple picnic.

Fall Season... the color change of the leaves are a sure thing to talk about!

There is an international airport in Las Vegas and Salt Lake City. Cedar City has a regional airport as well. Las Vegas and Salt Lake City are both linked with Interstate 15 with an exit to Cedar City. It's just a short 45 minutes on a beautiful scenic drive up the mountain on Highway 14 to our ranch house.

Should you happen to forget something, there is Tod's Country Store that is just 2 miles away and has a pretty good selection. Groceries, gas, beer, ice, soft serve ice cream and a self-serve grill to cook your hamburger or steak sandwich to your perfection!!
Come visit, you won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin was clean (hot tub could use a cleaning) and had everything we needed for our week stay. We enjoyed the solitude of the location, but be aware there is some distance to get anywhere, but Bryce, Zion, other parks/hiking trails, and activities are within easy driving distance for day activities. We especially enjoyed watching all the deer and turkey which were always near the cabin. We also saw pronghorn and most evenings seeing the elk strolling through was truly amazing.

I have stayed here quite a few times. I’m never disappointed. I don’t remember seeing more deer and turkey in the previous years I’ve stayed here. Did some atv riding from the ranch house and atv trails are easy to access…ranch house is a unique and special place….mark and Amy thankyou!

Beautiful spot. Lots of wildlife. Zero noise. We didn't even lock the door all week! Met one of the ranch owners while he was putting out corn and hay for the deer and elk. Really nice gentleman! A lovely spot to enjoy some downtime. Great for our anniversary trip! The store in Duck Creek has more stuff than you expect!

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It’s truly special. We saw deer, turkeys, and elk at dusk every day. It’s private and peaceful and had everything we needed.

The cabin is our escape to rest and unplug and it is always a little paradise. This past visit was no exception.

We stayed at this house for 3 nights. The house was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was great. And the view was spectacular - deer, turkeys and elk every day. The hosts were very responsive. This was a great location for us while we were visiting Bryce. Thank you Mark and Amy!

What a location! Was so enjoyable to watch the wildlife from the cabin. The turkey are so entertaining you can watch them all day!!! This place is so secluded and quiet - so very relaxing after hiking all day! Wish we had more time there! Thanks for sharing your little piece of heaven.
