River Rock Studio w/private courtyard, 20 minutes to Zion

We aim to complement the experience of visiting Zion by bringing the feeling of the outdoors inside: natural light, airy ceilings, and canyon colors. A glass door and tall windows make the private courtyard feel like part of the interior.

(Please note that - alas! - we cannot allow pets. We do love animals, but allergies intervene.)

Newly built in 2020, the studio is attached to our home but functions as a totally private apartment with its own entrance, gated courtyard, kitchenette, climate control, and smart TV. We have two adjacent studio rentals and courtyards with similar accommodations, also attached to our home. All are fully electric and run on solar power.

Our memory foam mattresses are comfy as all get-out and we went out of our way to make sure the showers are exactly what hikers are looking for after a long day: great water pressure and giant, fluffy towels! This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Zion area and a well-placed launching pad for your next outing.

The property was a great place to stay. Communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. The property has a great vibe with all the cool artwork throughout. Now let’s talk shower! It was fabulous! Just what a tired hiker needs at the end of the day. Hated leaving it behind!

Lots of thought put into this place!

We loved staying here!! The hosts clearly put in a lot of thought with making sure you feel comfortable there. It was nicely decorated, super cozy and clean! It was also a really great location for Zion park. One of our fav places we have stayed for this vacation so far!

Quick and easy spot near Zion National Park

This lovely room is nicely appointed and plenty big for a couple headed to Zion National Park. It is much more affordable than the Springdale options and certainly a quick drive right on the same highway that leads to Zion so easy to find - the teal blue sign posts are great landmarks so I easily spotted it on my way into the park while it was still light out. The coffee, mini-fridge, water bottles and snacks were also very appreciated after a long day of hiking. Most importantly, it was impeccably clean and served as a great landing pad for Zion adventures.

Hiking weekend

After a day of hiking, it was nice coming back to this studio. Although just off the main road, it was surprisingly quiet! Because we hiked Zion National Park, we found the location ideal. Not to close to the tourism of the park but not too far away either. The drive to Zion was about 20 minutes or so. For us, that was perfect. And the owners were very responsive to any needs or questions we had. The only thing that could have made our stay better, would have been to have a hot tub to soak in after a long day of hiking . Joking aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfection!

What a find! We could not have been happier! This property is very well appointed and very well thought out. It is beautiful, quiet, convenient, and has the sweetest private courtyard. Just two things: the handles on the shower doors are reversed and the toilet paper roll was put on backwards! 😉 We loved every minute!!!

Zion trip

The biggest issue we had was finding the place in the dark despite having GPS pulled up. Physical directions such as the property is accross from where this road and this road intersect would be more helpful than trying to look for things only visible well in the light (stucco roof, etc.)

Convenient and Comfortable

Fantastic 1 bedroom unit in Virgin. Easy 20 minute drive to Zion, NP and about 2 hours to Bryce. This unit with its vaulted ceilings, private courtyard, and nice views felt super spacious. Parking so easy!! Diana thought of everything you might need. There is a hose bib outside to wash the dust off legs and feet if needed. The shower was heavenly. The mini-kitchen has a nice mini fridge with freezer, microwave, coffee maker, coffee cups, bowls, silverware and snacks provided! Super cute, comfortable, well-equipped, nicely decorated, convenient, and quiet location! Everything was so smooth and comfortable from check-in to check-out. Highly recommend! Thanks Diana!

Best VRBO stay we’ve had!

This property was the best stay we’ve had between VRBO & other companies. It is exactly as pictured. Bed, pillows, bath towels were all comfortable & clean. Very clean & well maintained property. We have not rented a site attached to a primary residence- but this appears to be standard for the area- and I was a bit nervous, but the property is absolutely private! The shower was nice with great water pressure & shampoo/conditioner/etc I use at home which decreased my packing list. Diana & her husband provided a few snacks & water which was appreciated. We did rent e-bikes for Zion, & I would highly recommend inquiring about recommendations for that. I can’t say enough excellent things. We hope to return!
