We stayed for 3 nights while we travelled to the parks around the area. The kids loved the pool and having mini golf right outside our cabin was great entertainment. The food was decently priced in the restaurant as well. Overall a great stay, so much that we extended it an extra night there.

The property has a very strong smell from what appears to be a sewage treatment over the hill. The showers for campers are disgusting and need to be upgraded. We chose not to shower versus going into those awful showers. Bright spot is the food was good and staff are kind.

The room was spacious and spotless, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming! We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our short stay was filled with wonderful memories. If you’re on your way to Zion Canyon or Bryce Canyon definitely stop by and check this place out-it’s truly worth it. We would love to return again in the future!

Location was nice. The cabin we stayed felt like newly built, well set up. The problems: water pressure was horrible and water heater ran out of hot water before a shower ended; no washer/dryer even though it was advertised; one bathroom had terrible sewer smell when you run water, didn’t go away overnight; and the property around the cabin had trash that needed to be picked up. Floors in cabin were not swept/vacuumed.

Everything was excellent, and the only reason I would say one one area of "improvement" would be to turn on the pool heaters sooner in the year, but I can understand why they weren't on yet. One of the MAIN reasons we chose the resort was because of the pool... We still had a super fun time with the freezing cold pool water because there was a nice warm hot tub turned on.

Staff was super nice but the shared bathrooms were pretty dirty. The showers had no soaps and needed to be cleaned. For the price of the glamping side I would expect a better bathroom. Not all the amenities were open in November which also made the price seem not worth it. The drive to Zion shuttle was 45 min. It was a great atmosphere otherwise and a nice break from the crowds.

Very nice resort. Family friendly with so much to do, 2 swimming pools, miniature golf, kayaking in a large pond, rock wall, playground, gift shop, and several other activities. They also have East Zion Adventures on site. They have casual dining options and the food was very good. They offer numerous options for lodging at very reasonable price points. The sunset colors were stunning. Definitely would stay here again.
