Convenient and comfortable!

We were looking for a place to stay to do the Gran Canyon Rim to Rim hike. This place was perfect for our needs. Only a shame that we only had a one night stay!

Wonderful home

My husband and I stayed for a week at the Brown Family retreat. It is a very nice home. Nothing fancy, but had everything we needed, was clean and very comfortable. We will be saving this one for future trips to Kanab. We are retired, but still like to get out in our Jeep or Power Wagon exploring the amazing area. After a day out though, we are usually pretty tired and this house has two recliners making for a nice evening relaxing time. The house is a very short distance from the main part of town, making it not crowded, but close enough to get dinner or supplies. The property manager, Star, was very responsive both prior to our visit and with a question upon arrival. We will definitely be staying here again.

Location and Amenities

This house was in a great location and had great amenities (dishes/dishwasher/laundry/smart tv/etc). It was clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed our time here. The only downfall was the beds. The mattresses are absolutely terrible. Replace those and I’d be willing to book again.

The property is clean and comfortable. It is in a very quiet area with beautiful night sky. I would give this property a 10 of 10 if it were not for some small but needed repairs. the bathroom faucets need attention, one did not work at all. The lock on the master bedroom door is stuck in the locked position so the door cannot be closed. Other than that this a wonderful property we loved it.

Great!but...

My family and I had a great time staying at this property..the only thing that was not good was the sofa bed. it needs to be replaced or fixed. The bottom board was broken with all the nails/staple wires sticking out. Which could cause some serious injury.. But, overall awesome experience with everything you need..

Good “home base” for the area.

While the home itself is six miles east of Kanab and we always had to go through town, it was very convenient. Furniture and linens are pretty basic. Had to request a corkscrew but one was bought and delivered very promptly. The hosts provided great info about hikes, etc. In addition to Bryce, Zion, and the Grand Canyon, we really loved the Mansard Trail that was SO close to the house!

Zion, Bryce and Grand Canyon North Rim.

Mostly fine. Master bathroom shower did not work. It sprayed water from where the shower head was connected. Master bedroom tv was not connected to anything usable. Living room tv buffered constantly and was very frustrating to watch. Found a dirty skillet and two dirty plates. Great proximity to Kanab and the three parks we wanted to hike.

Nice place and conveniently located. Internet didn't work when we go there but a call to the property manager quickly got that fixed. The hot water is scalding hot, so be careful. Other than that, it was a nice, uneventful stay. Just they way we wanted it.
