Sweet little cottage
Vickie was a wonderful host. We arrived later than expected and she was very accommodating with alternate instructions for check-in. She was very helpful with little hints about exploring the area. The ranch and setting are stunning. Very close to the West entrance to Zion. 30 minutes to Springdale and the South entrance. So many treasures around to explore. The cottage was very cute, super clean and well maintained, and very private. We loved it!!!

Well beyond expectations
It is hard to summarize how impressed we were with Sunset Canyon. Vickie thought of everything and went above and beyond in every way. I rarely use vacation rentals, generally preferring hotels, but the cottage was superbly appointed and had everything we could possibly need and then some. It was sparkling clean and well furnished. The hot tub, grill, sports court, pool, and Vickie's helpful and up-to-date information about the Zion area were all cherries on top. I would not return to the Zion area without staying at Sunset Canyon.

So accommodating and comfortable
My wife and I truly loved our brief stay at this property. The cottage was absolutely charming, comfortable and surrounded by beauty. Vickie was extremely accommodating when our airline set us back half a day and we had to arrive in the middle of the night. Never have we been so grateful to see a warm, comfortable and well lit place waiting for us. Nice little extras throughout the cottage made our time feel very special as did the advice about local hikes that we might not otherwise have known about. Very special place.

The perfect stay!
Pictures didn't do it justice, this property was the coziest, homiest, cottage, and it made our trip to Zion absolutely perfect. The furnishings, incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the views, the patio... We would've loved being there without even going to Zion. But coming "home" to the cottage after a long day of hiking and riding the shuttle was a much-needed respite. We truly felt at home and loved our stay. If we come back to Zion, we'll definitely stay here again! Thank you so much, Vickie!

Premier host and lovely cottage.
The cottage at Sunset Canyon ranch was meticulously clean and totally relaxing. We were warmly greeted by three furry souls upon arrival. Every convenience of a well stocked pantry and refrigerator was offered. The cottage is a refurbished historic bunk house that has a petrified wood fireplace wall. AC/heat was perfect. It is a home away from home. Vickie is a wonderful person and was the best host we ever had in all our vrbo stays. The distance to Zion is only 8-9 miles. Many other hikes and adventures are available if Zion is not a plan. The Davis store in Toquerville was excellent. Thank you Vickie and Henry.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage for 4 nights and we wished we could’ve stayed longer. It’s quiet, comfortable and had everything we needed and then some. You will not be disappointed if you’re looking to get away from the crowds and stay someplace off the grid. The owners really go out of their way to make sure you feel right at home. Lots of hiking to be done in the area as well so you don’t need to go into the main park (Zion).

Fantastic visit to Zion National Park
We couldn't have asked for a better location, home, or host. Since we were new to Zion, we really had no idea how perfect this location would be. With access to everything on the west side within minutes of the property, we could take our pick of great hikes without the crowds found on the east side of the park. Of course, we did go to the east side of the park as well but coming back to a peaceful, quiet location afforded by Sunset Canyon Ranch was such a pleasure. If you're looking for a peaceful outdoor space for coffee in the mornings and a glass of wine in the evening, with easy access to plenty of outdoor activity in between, look no further.

Idyllic in every way
We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and were looking for a place away from the crowds where we could have some space to enjoy beautiful Zions in a different way. This place was perfect. We arrived at night and pulled up to a beautiful cottage, the lights were on to welcome us warmly. Communication with the owners was easy and Vickie was so accommodating to our needs. Everything was so clean and there was even a snack in he fridge for us to enjoy when we got there. The views out the master bedroom windows were gorgeous, when the sun came up the next morning I couldn’t wait to get outside and explore. We thoroughly enjoyed the private hot tub and went to the Main house for a swim. Needless to say this was the perfect spot for privacy, and it wasn’t far at all to head to Springdell for some hiking and dinner. Absolutely loved our stay here and hope to do it again.

A Charming Cottage in Beautiful South Utah
My wife and I highly recommend this stay. The cottage was all that we could ask for and then some. It was exceptionally charming, comfortable, convenient, and very clean. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and provided very detailed instructions about the services in the cabin, attractions and resources in the surrounding area, and even offered to lend us cookware to help with a dish that I wanted to prepare (although this was ultimately unnecessary, as the cottage kitchen was well appointed). Oh, and the hot tub beneath the cliffs at sunset is pure magic. One of the best things about the place. The surrounding area was unimaginably beautiful. The ranch is literally minutes away from Zion National Park, with several great hikes available from Kolob Terrace Rd. The official park entrance is also about half an hour away, and the drive there is absolutely gorgeous. Just make sure not to track the mud from all those trails into the cottage at the end of the day. It’s a no-shoes premises, but with good reason!

Beautiful Ranch Setting
We have stayed in many VRBOs around the country, and this is one of our favorites. You are staying on a beautiful ranch set in a valley surrounded by bluffs. When we arrived at the cottage, we met the owners, Vicky and her husband Hank. Vicky walked us through the home and explained everything in detail. It is an extremely comfortable cottage and very well appointed. We had everything we needed. She lives on a cabin on the ranch so is very close in case we needed anything. We did not need a thing. We stayed 5 nights and hiked in Zion National Park during the day and returned back to the cottage exhausted. There is a hot tub outside the cottage waiting for you if you need it. The cottage is very private and quiet, and we were encouraged to walk anywhere on the ranch. There are several pastures with a couple of horses and a pond. This could not have been a more beautiful setting. If we return to the Zion National Park area, I will definitely rebook this home. The owners are lovely people.

Paradise in the canyon
This little corner of paradise was even more special than we could have imagined! We were warmly welcomed and easily settled in to the cottage. When you pull up to the gate, you don't quite know what to expect! It was so charming, peaceful and had everything we needed. The location will take your breathe away! Our hosts, Vickie and Hank, were so warm and accommodating and gave some great "off the beaten path" hike suggestions we took advantage of. Coming back down the winding road of the ranch to the cottage after a day of hiking and exploring was so relaxing. The pictures do a great job of showcasing the property but it is so so much more! We can't wait to get back someday.

The Cabin at Sunset Canyon Ranch
Our stay at the Sunset Canyon Ranch was absolutely perfect. The cabin was spotless and had every amenity we needed for a week of hiking and exploring Zion and Bryce Cannon National Parks. The Hot Tube came in handy after a hard day of hiking the "Narrows". Really was nice to head to the West side of Zion and leave the crowds behind each evening. The night sky was amazing to watch we really enjoyed hanging out on the cavered patio morning and evening.

Delightful!
Even though we came to see the national parks, this ranch is a destination in itself! They cottage was spacious, clean and well stocked. We appreciated all the personal touches such as fresh cut flowers, chocolates and slippers for our use. The hosts not only made the property special, but made us feel special too. They were friendly, welcoming, had wonderful recommendations for the area and were so much fun to talk with. We practically felt like we had the whole place to ourselves since they only have 2 units for rent. We had our own hot tub, bbq, patio area and yard. This was a real treat after visiting the crowded parks! We spent time each afternoon at the pool and usually had it all to ourselves. The only thing that we wish was different is that we had booked more days at this incredible destination!

A stunning place to stay.
This was our last stop on our travels through the national parks . We wanted to stay somewhere quiet where we could relax before our return to the UK. The ranch certainly lived up to and exceeded all our expectations. It is quiet and secluded yet Zion national park and all amenities are easily accessible . There is plenty to do on the ranch itself ; picnics, strolling , observing wildlife . We had great fun playing pickle ball and relaxing by the lovely , big pool. When the Sun went down we would barbecue on the gas barbecue provided for guests use and sit in the hot tub , listening to nature and watching the stars. Sunset ranch is very romantic but also caters to those who want to be active , we walked the famous Narrows in Zion and were able to easily arrive before the crowds. Vickie provides all the information you need about the area and made us feel very comfortable and welcome. The cottage had everything that we needed , our only wish was that we should have booked to stay longer.

Super close to Zion, and super private and safe canyon ranch. Wow. We found this place while looking for our honeymoon vacation and it did not disappoint! Not only are the facilities top notch, but the location is around SO MUCH. What an amazing area to explore! Vickie helped us get situated real quickly, and it was very clear this is a host that knows her stuff, place, and the area. Were were joyous for who she is! We are quite self-sufficient so we really didn't require much, and it is clear that Vickie is very keen to respect guests privacy Take advantage of this place and schedule many tours!

Can’t say enough wonderful things about the property and just how beautiful the cottages. Especially the fact that my wife and I are water snobs and they have a reverse osmosis filtration system. So you don’t even really need to buy water and cause of a lot of plastic waste. You just need your own personal water bottles and Camelback‘s. The hot tub underneath night time stars is magical. Vickie is a wonderful host. She goes over, in detail, everything about what the house offers and how you can enjoy yourselves the most while you’re there. There are horses there on the ranch and she has two wonderful dogs that are just absolutely sweet. It’s very private and romantic. We celebrated my wife’s 45th birthday there and she couldn’t thank me enough for planning the trip and picking the place where we stayed. I know you’ll have a fantastic time there as well and I’d be happy for you and jealous at the same time! Thanks again Vickie!

Amazing Zion Getaway!
It was a pleasure to meet Vickie and Hank, and I’m so glad we had the opportunity to stay at their cottage. It is perfectly cozy and clean and was the perfect home base for our quick trip to Zion. Sunset Canyon Ranch is more beautiful than words or pictures can describe - I would highly recommend a stay with Vickie and Hank! We followed several restaurant recommendations from Vickie, which were all great - Oscar’s in Springdale, River Rock Roasting Company coffee in La Verkin, and last but not least Balcony One in Virgin. Balcony One has earned its place in my top ten favorite restaurants ever. Finally, of the few hikes we were able to squeeze in, our favorite was Vickie’s map to petroglyphs and Stairway to Heaven nearby the ranch. Be sure to look for her notes/maps in the cottage! Thank you for such a lovely and memorable stay at your beautiful Sunset Canyon Ranch, Vickie and Hank!
