This is an amazing bison ranch about 30 minutes away from Zion National Park. The cabins are nicely equipped, with comfy beds and small kitchens. You will have a coffee maker, microwave, dishes, and sink area for small meals and snacks. Our cabin had a very nice large tub and shower. This is just perfect for people who do not want to be in the hustle and bustle of Springdale/Hurricane/Zion area. You can get to Zion quickly enough and then enjoy your very quiet home away from home. There is a very nice gift shop and restaurant on site. The restaurant is limited but you should have at least one meal there. Food services are in nearby Mt. Carmel (limited) or Zion Ponderosa Ranch, or in Zion.

We stayed at this ranch for 2 nights to visit Zion National Park during a 3 week road trip through the west of the USA, and we were absolutely amazed by the accomodation. Our first night we were given a warm welcome by Mark who explained everything about the ranch and the National Park. After a strenous day of hiking the Narrows we were able to relax completely at the Preserve Cabin Suite. It had everyhting we could have wished for, comfortable bed and pillows, a nice patio with a rocking chair overlooking the ranch, a lovely and large jetted bathtub, microwave, refrigerator,.... It had a nice and warm atmosphere and the most stunning views on the night sky with its many stars. Our second day we were able to discover more of the ranch and were pleasantly surprised to meet popcorn and peanut, the 2 pigs, the dogs, the horses, the chickens. This place just has it all. You are a bit further from the National Park then when you would stay in Springdale, but you get to drive the Zion Mount Carmel Highway (Zion Canyon Scenic Drive), which is absolutely worth it. We would highly recommend this place!

The staff is very accommodating and even installed curtains in the kid's rooms so they could sleep past sunrise. Housekeeping checked on us often. Horseback riding with Kenzie was beautiful and had an amazing view!

Used to be incredible, now it’s just ok.

This is/was a gem out in the middle of no where. This was personally my 4th visit here and 3rd with my family. My wife and I are 40, kids are 14 and 6. Cabin 132 during our stay. It is not what it used to be though. Pros: comfortable bed. Big kitchen with large fridge, sink with disposal, plates, cups, mugs, utensils provided. Washed and dryer. Dishwasher. 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms. Hot tub. Servers were fabulous at Restaraunt, Ashley and Mark I believe. Cons: they don’t come and clean. The housekeeping will make your bed and take trash/dirty towels, provide you with new towels. I swept with a broom almost daily. A housekeeper tracked dirt in late in the day after I had just swept on one occasion. Couldn’t believe it. The rug in our cabin was so filthy I had to move it outside. The hot tub was not clean and not topped off. The Restaraunt was simply not good. Overpriced food without a good chef. The Thanksgiving meal was way overpriced. $75 a plate and no steak!? Kids did not like dinner or breakfast. Overall: when we checked in room wasn’t ready, they had to fix a toilet. One of the employees, a skinny male with dark hair and a young child he was letting wander around the parking lot was pretty unprofessional about it. The ladies at check in were pretty stellar. The guy I’m describing though, they should can his arse. The ladies were able to get us into cabin 128 for the night. Only problem, water smelled terrible of egg water. The views from our cabin (132) are simply incredible. Short drive to Zion National Park, about 30 minutes To the parking area for the shuttle. The drive to Bryce Canyon was about 1 hour and 15 min. We did get some great hiking in at both parks. We spent quite a bit of time in the cabin. No tv, just dvds for the tv. You can get dvds at the check in area. The cabin is in need of an update, but still very nice for this area. We decided this was our last trip to this ranch as they have not kept up with the ranch, and the meals were very subpar. The Thunderbird diner down the road was better and way cheaper. Simply put if I’m going to spend 10 grand to fly out, rent a car, stay at your cabin for a week I want great meals and a real cleaning service. Hopefully they invest some money into this place and make it excellent as it was 2-4 years ago when I last visited! Thanks so much to Mark for his kindness, listening, understanding, he is the man. Also the ladies at check in/out and Ashley were amazing!

This place was probably cool 5 years or more ago

The cabin which appeared to be in the desert was actually in a shabby campground. The sign on the hiway was lit with some Home Depot solar lights that were laying on top of the broken floodlight bulb and exposed wiring. The next sign after that was behind a tree. The cabin number was not lit. The parking was so narrow that a hydrant in an untrimmed bush dented the door. The siding is peeling off and the hot water tank wire is hanging on the side of the cabin. The key keeper was weather worn and a hassle. The heat didn’t work until the service person had been there an hour. One upside, there was two servings of coffee for two people staying for two days. They did use a 12 gauge extension code with a splitter to run the mini fridge, a lamp and the coffee pot. ZMR clearly hired a great company to photograph and write copy but there is a reason the awards stopped in 2018. It seems that they quit doing maintenance then as well
