We really liked this location as a jumping off point for Bryce, Zion and Kanab. There is a lot of info on their website - they are very transparent about these accommodations and their policies. |There really is not much around here in terms of shopping or restaurants so be aware and plan ahead. We stayed in the Willow cabin for 3 nights. The cabin was clean and adequate for our needs (basically sleeping). I knew in advance that the Willow cabin was near the road - it didn't bother me but my husband is a lighter sleeper and was awakened when a few trucks passed. However, I did not read carefully enough to realize that it is also very close to the chickens and roosters crow in the morning. Thank goodness we wanted to get up early because we would have had no choice. |We loved their pick up breakfasts. They were home made, delicious and plenty of food for us. |Our keys were on a table for us to pick up when we arrived and there was a nice binder in our room with tons of helpful information. But breakfast pickup was the only time we had any interaction with our hosts who were very nice. All other interaction was done by email. I would have liked more personal contact. |My only other disappointment was that we noticed a lot of clutter while walking around the grounds and on porches that were not guest accommodations. I realize its a working farm but was a little surprised with all the junk lying around. |All in all, we are glad we...
Read moreWe had an acceptable stay here. It was better than average, but not 'very good'. I wish there was a 3.5 rating. The inn has a wonderful location, useful for lots of local scenic activities. And it's great to be near the animals, some of which may be cuddled. It's quiet and dark and our cabin was well-provisioned for cooking. You can stargaze from your porch! |But the breakfast was a huge downer. The website is covered in photos of amazing food, chafing dishes full of delicious stuff. It was only after I booked and paid the deposit that I was told we'd only receive a 'Country to go' breakfast. Which, as it turns out, is a bit of fruit, some quiche (or similar) and a muffin (or similar). Oh, and there's nowhere to eat it because the cafe is shut. The to-go breakfasts were tasty, but they were also a far cry from a country breakfast. For me, this was a huge let-down. I felt misled and hungry, not a great combination. 'Take your food at eat in your room' is really not what I expect from a Bed and Breakfast.|When I asked about this I was told they changed during Covid. But Covid restrictions ended a long time ago; I was told they have some staff problems too. While I do sympathise (hospitality all across the USA is struggling and is generally a bit rubbish), at a minimum the website needs changing or big flags on it. The whole vibe is off and it rather spoiled our days there. If I'd known this was what I'd get, I'd have just...

We stayed a total of 5 nights in the cottonwood cabin (full kitchen), the cabin was exceptionally clean and perfectly equipped with all the basic needs. The cabin was located deeper in the property than all others which provided a little more privacy.
Drain issue occurred the first night, after being brought to the attention of the owners the issue was resolved within a day. I think the cleaning staff should have notified them owners, but it happens. Outside of that we had no issues with anything.
Breakfast is cooked and packaged every morning at 7am unless otherwise requested, this is important if you don’t enjoy cold food. Communication is key, however this is best breakfast I’ve had for complimentary, even when comparing to higher end hotels with breakfast bars with cooked to order stations.
*Note: This is a working ranch not a high end resort. You will have a very fun authentic experience, the animals are all within walking distance for you to enjoy and get to know. All the people on the ranch are very helpful and willing to give you information about the area and their ranch!
Improvements:
I think pre-inspection checks of the cabins are necessary to avoid drain clogs or broken equipment.
🥳To the ranch family🥳
You made the stay so wonderful for my wife and I. We’re very thankful we found this place, we wish many more years or prosperity and provision for you all....
