Savage Point Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Kanab

First let me say, Laurel & Russel are sweet, friendly and very accommodating people.||1. Be sure to read their website before booking as it is very informative and they are very open about their accommodations.||2. My wife and I have been fortunate to stay in over 45 B&Bs worldwide, this however, is more like staying over a relatives house. Because your privacy is challenged, as you are in their home, in their renovated basement.||3. There are two cats and two dogs. The dogs bark at anything that moves. In fact my wife and I had to whisper (downstairs) because each time the dogs heard us (sitting at the top of the stairs, they started barking). At times, we had our bedroom door closed and white noise on high but the barking could be heard. On a good note, there was very little pet odor, or hair, anywhere around and Laurel was always quieting the dogs. ||4. You have a separate private entry and you are close to several excellent restaurants (actually, I was shocked at the high quality of food in the local places)||5. If it’s cold, Russell will light up the wood burning stove which is really romantic & comfy. Only problem is that you can’t really do anything “romantic” because there is no privacy door, only a curtain (at the bottom of the stairs, partially blocking the upstairs view and everything you say or do can be heard by the inn keepers.||6. A tip - if you enjoy the normal B&B privacy, you can go into your bedroom and close the door. If you choose to stay in the family room, then you need to be receptive to the political beliefs on the TV networks that the inn keepers are watching, because you will hear everything thru the privacy curtain.||7. The breakfast -delicious and Laurel is very accommodating...I only managed a spoonful because my wife ate it all.||8. The bathroom is a typical small guest bathroom, in someone’s home, but as mentioned, it felt like aunt Bonnies guest bathroom (it was very clean with fresh towels and huge variety of soaps).||9. The bedroom- you are sharing the dresser, closet and bathroom cabinet with the homeowner, as they have belonging in each. There is a thermostat in the bedroom but it is old and worn so you have no clue how to regulate it, so we were hot-then cold-then hot. The bed was comfy but the box springs reacted like a trampoline...in fact while typing this review the bed was bouncing and I’m feeling seasick. The movement was so bad that I had to sleep on the couch.||10. The kitchen- Laurel & Russell share their kitchen with you. In fact, she set a hot pot of water, tea bags and honey...unfortunately we did not venture up there because we did not want to deal with the two dogs barking.||11. A tip - wear dark socks or slippers while walking around.||||Yes I gave it five bubbles, why? Because these are two hard working sweet people, who are attempting to subsidize their income by renting out part of their home. They disclose everything on their website, so nothing will be a surprise. They responded graciously to any request. They strive to be helpful and they really kept their home clean and neat. In addition, they were very understanding when we departed early and only charged us for the one night. However, if you are an avid B&B person (as we are) the communal house, is not what you are accustom to.||||I sent this post and two recommendations to the Inn Keeper and this was their response...||“I suggest that you stay at the Purple Sage Inn or one of the Canyon Suites next time you visit Kanab. Obviously we are not your "cup of tea." “||Best to  you both, ||Laurel & the...

Staying at Savage Point was nothing short of soul-renewing. From the moment we started the booking process, we felt enveloped in warmth, as if this place had been waiting just for us. When we arrived, that feeling only deepened.

Every corner of this home radiates love and intention. The little basement suite is a cozy and inviting haven, the kind of space that encourages you to curl up with a book— especially with the many field guides thoughtfully placed for guests to enjoy. The bed is plush, the shower is rejuvenating, and the entire space is spotless yet lived-in in the best way, like a home you’ve always known.

What makes Savage Point truly unforgettable, however, are the people (and the four-legged hosts). Our hosts embodied hospitality; they were warm, engaging, and effortlessly welcoming. Mornings began with incredible homemade breakfasts, each bite infused with care, with conversation flowing as freely as the fresh coffee. And the jams— oh, the jams! We took two jars home, and given how quickly they’re disappearing (after just a week), we’ll be planning our return trip very soon.

Outside, the garden whispers serenity, creating a space where time seems to slow down. We didn’t get a chance to try the sauna this time, but it’s already on our list for our next visit. The hardest part of our stay was leaving, but we departed feeling full— full of gratitude, warmth, and a deep sense of restoration that only places like this can provide.

If you’re looking for more than just a place to stay, if you crave comfort, connection, and a true sense of home, Savage Point is...

The most important thing to me is a comfy bed, especially when I’m getting up early to do something exhausting, like the Narrows. And the bed was very comfy. I had no sleep issues whatsoever, which is pretty rare for me when I’m away from home. Even the sofa bed was great (My brother slept well on it, and I took it one night and slept fine). We did six days of major hiking in Zion, the Grand Canyon, and the Wave, and probably couldn’t have done as much without good sleep! ||||The location is perfect. It’s maybe 100 yards from the Kanab Center, where you apply for the walk-in lottery for the Wave and South Coyote Buttes. I woke up my first morning, strolled over there with my coffee, signed my group up, and we got the Wave permit! It’s about 45 mins from the East Zion entrance - a much less crowded entrance than Springdale, and an awesome part of the park. It was about 90 mins from the north rim of the Grand Canyon, and maybe 60-75 mins from the Wave trailhead, depending on how you drive on the very rough, 15-mile dirt road to get there. ||||Laurel is very nice and has a wealth of information - especially about some lesser known but equally amazing hikes. As many have noted, she will make you breakfast each morning, like in a traditional bed and breakfast. We did not take advantage of her hospitality as much as we wanted to, simply because we were up and out so early most days. There is so much to see in this corner of the world, we intend to come back for more and hopefully this place...
