Location was perfect- quite. beautiful ranch and peaceful. Can see the bison herd, chickens and pups. All the staff were super- very friendly and helpful.
This location on the east side of Zion NP is totally better than the congested west side. We hated to leave this place.

The views were amazing, the cabins where spacious, comfortable and clean. The food was exquisite, the service was superb, the location is perfect, and best of all we fell in love with one of the many adorable puppy’s that happened to be ready to take home during our trip. Needless to say, we left with a new family member-Odin!

Heaven on Earth

Published Date: May, 1, 2025 Travel Date: Apr, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 Slice of heaven! If you can, stay here, seriously. 10 min from east Zion entry, but probably better in its own right. Rusty and Pam were absolutely wonderful humans. Perfect place to sigh, sit in awe, and enjoy life. Beautiful views, perfect sunrise/sunset, 5 star restaurant, bison herd, chickens, horseback riding, camp fires, ow my! Love! So many cool things to do here and around here! Will be back with the fam!

More than just a place to stay outside Zion NP

Published Date: Apr, 22, 2025 Travel Date: Feb, 1, 2025 Rating: 5 We booked ZMR for three nights at end of Feb as a quiet base from which to explore Zion NP. It exceeded our expectations. In fact, we enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the ranch more than the crowds and traffic of the park itself. Location was perfect. Easy in and out of Zion NP through the (at least in late Feb) unstaffed / no line park east entrance. The cabin was clean and cozy with a deep soaking tub for after a day of hiking and a gas fire heater for the cool Feb nights. Lots of places within few minutes drive or even a few steps walk from cabin to do some night sky photography. The ZMR staff is very warm and friendly without being obsequious. Part of the office staff includes some Great Pyrenees lounging around the office lobby along with several chickens walking around outside. We ate in the restaurant twice, once each for breakfast and dinner. Both meals were good and reasonably priced and also with very friendly staff. We booked a horseback ride at the front desk and the staff helped us pick the right ride for us. Wife and I along with our guide did a short ride around the hundreds of acres of the ranch on a pair of nice, well cared for horses. While we are glad we visited Zion National Park, and did enjoy it in spite of the crowds and chaos, it is "checked off" our list. On other hand, we would gladly make ZMR a destination in and of itself in the future and explore more of southern Utah or just relax.
