Is This Rustic Retreat a Cozy Getaway or Just a Farmhouse Faux Pas?

The house that was assigned to us was okay. Pretty expensive place, but you don't have many other options in the area. Didn't feel as tranquil as expected. There are quite a few houses on the property. The lady who checked us in was very nice, the one who checked us out had thin patience but still did what she had to do. Just didn't communicate very well. Also questioned our itinerary which came off a bit odd.
Overall: fun farm vibe. Chickens and dogs everywhere. So that was fun.
We went to dinner in the on-property restaurant. The food Was pretty good, and so was the service. A bit on the expensive side though. Especially since you have to ask for basic things like some bread or croutons to go with the soup. Also very strange: the Caesar salad was full of anjovis. Wasn't mentioned on the menu. Might be something to be checked with the dinner guests before serving. Not everyone is ok with fish.
The house was pretty clean, but the bedding felt a bit dusty. Also a bummer that one thermostat temperature is controlled for the whole house. And not separate in the bedrooms. The only way to cool your own bedroom is to use the fan or keep a window open. The bathtub wasn't clean and the shower had a very hard pressure. It actually hurt to shower. So these things might be handled to make the experience a bit better.
Overall okay, but didn't feel like the rustic place they portray online.

It was amazing to see bison up close and the trail ride we were able to go on with family made it the perfect vacation. The staff at the ranch are very accomidating and make it a place you want to return.

Published Date: Nov, 3, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 Return visit after 10 years. Cabin across the road from main reception. Comfortable and scenic but rather pricey for what it was. Had dinner one night and the Bison Burger was well up to expectation. Breakfast one morning too but for the price charged the range of food seemed limited. Friendly and helpful staff, and the ranch dogs were very welcoming. A tip for the unwary: the ranch is on the "long side" of Zion NP so the journey into the park will involve a lengthy drive through the tunnel and the risk of very limited parking being available at the Springdale end.

I had the bison bolognese and my girlfriend had the trout. We both had the arugula beet salad All dishes were Excellent! To boot everything is farm to table grown right on the ranch
