Great stay

Really enjoyed our stay and all the available amenities. The hosts were friendly, and the room was very comfortable. The only issue we had was that there weren’t any hooks to hang our skiing clothes in the room or bathroom. Other than that everything went perfectly

Lovely, cozy property

My husband and I came to stay at this place as an overnight stop on a long road trip to California. We planned on just sleeping and showering there, but I do kind of wish we'd had a little more time to stay and explore - the property is really cute and homey, and I love all the little touches that add both fun and coziness. It definitely has a great, classic BnB vibe! Also, the bathroom was GORGEOUS and a delight to use!!Just a minor thing, but I wish we'd known ahead of time that one of the house rules was no food in the bedrooms (with all food to be labeled and kept in a fridge shared with other guests), which I don't think is mentioned in the listing. Since my husband and I were in the middle of a nearly week-long road trip, we'd (perhaps unreasonably) assumed we would have a private location to store our food overnight. It wasn't a huge problem and it worked out okay for us, but it's just someting to be aware of. Overall, it was a good affordable option that met our needs, and I would recommend it to others (while being cognizant of its limitations).

Great place! Perfect locaion.

This king size room is located on the main (bottom) floor. It is Tacit Shadow was just the right distance away to attend the wedding and still get back to a peaceful room after the festivities. Scott, the owner is quick to respond to questions. Someone in my party left a make-up bag that was noticed during cleaning and he notified me right away and discussed several options on how to return it to its owner. That's just plain honest!! I highly recommend this room & property.

Everything you could expect in shared home

Traveling alone x3 days so did not need a whole house. This was a private bedroom and bathroom in shared home. Access to fridge ( and kitchen- but I didn’t cook). Nice yard. Very clean. Great location in Parowan with easy access to Petroglyphs, hiking ( valentine peak), cedar Breaks national monument, Bryan Head resort. Very quant small town ( beware- almost nothing open on Sunday). Hosts were great. Place well worth the cost (very reasonable fees especially for shorter stay). There is a very affectionate outdoor cat- we made friends! Thanks Scott, I may return.

It’s like staying at a friends house

Great staff. Beautiful views and beautiful property. Areas to sit inside and out. There is a shared kitchen that you can use. My only suggestion would be to book a room with it’s own bathroom. We didn’t the first time we stayed and ending up sharing the bathroom with the upstairs guests. It wasn’t horrible, just not what we expected. This time we stayed in the downstairs room that has its own private bathroom and it was much more confortable for us.

A quick overnight in Parowan

Found this room last minute when we were trying to find accommodations in nearby Cedar City. Tacit Shadow "Shangri-La" showed it was available. I booked the room, as it showed it could accommodate 4 people. I stayed here with two of my children, so there were only 3 of us that stayed overnight. Booking was simple. The owner was quick in his replies to my booking and then text messages we exchanged. There was some confusion on the actual address, as it would not pull up in Google maps, but I was sent the valid address via text along with a link for directions. This helped us find our way to the property without issue. Upon arrival, there were several men in the kitchen area cooking dinner. I thought they may be the owners, but they were not. One man directed us to the room I had booked when I asked where we were to go. Once inside the room, the scent of the meal the men in the kitchen was heavy in the air, so I opened the double doors to allow fresh air inside and did so for awhile before the scent dissipated. There were two cats immediately outside our room, and once we opened the door to air the room out, one cat promptly came inside and tried to walk around. I am highly allergic to cats and had to shoo it outside quickly. We set up beds for the night. Things got cramped space-wise. The king bed takes up the center of the room space, so I placed the 2 tri-fold mattresses on both sides of the bed. This left little room to maneuver about once set up in this fashion, leaving only a small area along the foot of the bed to move. There is nowhere to sit in the "Shangri-La" room other than on the king bed itself, as no chairs are in the room. If you want to sit somewhere, one must exit the room entirely via the double doors & onto the patio to find chairs available there. The extra mattresses were spotted & stained in a few places that I saw. I used both sets of packaged/sealed sheets to place on the mattresses, & the provided blanket, pillow, & pillow case. My kids fell asleep quickly on their tri-fold mattresses, yet I found the king bed too firm & uncomfortable for my liking, even for a pillow top. I did not sleep well at all, unfortunately. The bathroom was clean & orderly. The shower is very narrow, which made for a tight fit. Overall, this is a nice room. If I were to stay here again, I may choose a different room if I had the same number of people just for added space. The "Shangri-La" will fit 2 people comfortably, in my opinion.

Great place in Southwest Utah

It is a wonderful home base for all of your excursions in Southwest Utah. It feels like you are staying at a friend's house. The room is huge, the bed is big, everything is clean. The shower is walk-in. Much better than a hotel. You can make coffee in the kitchen and eat your breakfast there. The host lets you use all common rooms, the BBQ in the backyard, and whatever else you need to make your stay perfect.

Ski trip stay

This is a large house "resort" in parowan that worked well for us as a cheap option for housing while skiing at brian head. I dont feel the description is completely forthcoming as there is a family that lives in the basement of the house that manages the property. It seems the kitchen is their family kitchen. My family did not mind, it provided a unique social atmosphere that felt like staying in a family home. They were very and quiet throughout our stay and patient with my family. Their hospitality was amazing. Just be aware the only private area will be your room. We would stay here again.
