Disliked: Cleanliness
Staff was super nice but the shared bathrooms were pretty dirty. The showers had no soaps and needed to be cleaned. For the price of the glamping side I would expect a better bathroom. Not all the amenities were open in November which also made the price seem not worth it. The drive to Zion shuttle was 45 min. It was a great atmosphere otherwise and a nice break from the crowds.

Nice stay for visiting Zion NP

Lots of activities on the ranch (horseback riding, swimming, supboarding etc.) and lay-out was great. However, some facilities were in need of some remodelling and the cleaning of bath-/restroom need more attention. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay here and it is a great option for when you are planning to visit Zion NP.

Very nice resort. Family friendly with so much to do, 2 swimming pools, miniature golf, kayaking in a large pond, rock wall, playground, gift shop, and several other activities. They also have East Zion Adventures on site. They have casual dining options and the food was very good. They offer numerous options for lodging at very reasonable price points. The sunset colors were stunning. Definitely would stay here again.

The staff was super nice. Becky at the front desk was a joy…. And the maintenance guy (Shaun) helped us fix a flat tire. He even went out of the way to plug it for us and even brought us the pebble that caused the flat. It will be going in our scrapbook! Lots of things to do on site that we went from 2 nights to 3! Thank you.

Amazing! Worth a longer stay

We regret not staying more than 1 night! We saw once we got there SO many activities on the property we just didnt get a chance to enjoy due to arriving late and leaving early but I could have stayed a week to reall enjoy all they had to offer. We had a cowboy suite which was amazing and there were no issues with any of the property or stay at all!

Well, except or all of this...

So, this is our own fault. We should have complained more when we were there. I suppose this place is great if you have kids camping with you. Our propane tank was empty, no-one answers the phone number on the check-in instructions sheet. The bathrooms and showers are really moldy-mildewy-smelly, and our mattress (under the pad- we checked for bed bugs) was covered in mouse-poop that we cleaned up ourselves because, by this point, we were just feeling defeated by our choice. The glamping tent was in a tight circle and you really hear everything happening at the campfire in front of you and the circle of cabins behind you. The furniture was looking tired and early yard-sale in design. Maybe for you, not for us.
