New Cozy 2 Bedroom -1 Bath Ranch House

Wait no longer! A PRIVATE viewing of Elk, Deer and Turkeys in a surreal setting. Our ranch house has 2 bedrooms, 1 bath and is very quaint and cozy! It is nestled in an aspen tree grove on a private ranch. Our elevation is about 7500 ft. in the mountains, making the cooler air a real treat after a full day of hiking in the National Parks. This ranch is the heart of where the deer and elk make their summer home. This little piece of heaven is an absolute must for the person looking for an amazing experience and not just a place to lay your head. It is an excursion all in itself! This is the perfect place to escape from the world and enjoy nature! The Ranch House now has WIFI!! Cell phone service is very spotty. You will enjoy a scenic 1 mile drive on a graded dirt road to the ranch house. The view from the porch is unlimited!! Our ranch house is a unique opportunity to view wildlife up close, but it is absolutely necessary to keep the noise to a minimum to get that experience. You will view elk, turkey and deer on the front lawn. There is an outdoor cooking area with a charcoal bbq grills and picnic table. The area is covered with a aspen log pergola with a hot tub and the view of wildlife in the meadow for a great outdoor dining experience. A place like no other!

Absolutely no pets and no smoking!!!!

Our ranch house is centrally located between Zion, Bryce and Cedar Breaks National Monument. Enjoy the amazing scenery and famous hiking trails. Aspen Mirror Lake, Navajo Lake and Panguitch Lake are within minutes of the ranch house along with several excellent fly-fishing streams/rivers. There are over 500 miles of atv trails. During the summer, enjoy the beautiful wild flowers and wildlife.

This cozy, quaint ranch house is fully furnished with everything you'll need for a comfortable stay. There is satellite TV/DVD for your convenience. There is a queen size bed in bedroom 1 and a queen size bed in bedroom 2. For sure, this is a great home base for your Southern Utah Vacation.

Beautiful quiet location

We stayed at this house for 3 nights. The house was clean and comfortable and the hot tub was great. And the view was spectacular - deer, turkeys and elk every day. The hosts were very responsive. This was a great location for us while we were visiting Bryce. Thank you Mark and Amy!

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The cabin was clean (hot tub could use a cleaning) and had everything we needed for our week stay. We enjoyed the solitude of the location, but be aware there is some distance to get anywhere, but Bryce, Zion, other parks/hiking trails, and activities are within easy driving distance for day activities. We especially enjoyed watching all the deer and turkey which were always near the cabin. We also saw pronghorn and most evenings seeing the elk strolling through was truly amazing.

Amazing Stay!

We had such a great weekend. The house is so unique! Isolated, quiet, fun! The deer and elk were a highlight of the trip, as well as the hot tub. We purchased the fresh meal kits at Smith’s on our way down and so we had everything we needed at the cabin. Recommend you take care of food before you get there since options are minimal. We will be back!

Magnificent Views

This was the most amazing place we have ever stayed in! The wildlife was unbelievable! Our first night there we saw over one hundred mule deer, dozens of turkeys and the largest bull elk we have ever seen! The cabin was very comfortable with all the amenities that we needed. They even had two spotting scopes so we could see all the wildlife up close. The cabin is within driving distance to numerous national and state parks making our stay one we will never forget!

Beautiful spot. Lots of wildlife. Zero noise. We didn't even lock the door all week! Met one of the ranch owners while he was putting out corn and hay for the deer and elk. Really nice gentleman! A lovely spot to enjoy some downtime. Great for our anniversary trip! The store in Duck Creek has more stuff than you expect!

Underestimated the beauty of this rental!!

The property was amazing to say the least. It is the definition of tranquility. Last house on a gravel road, with absolutely nobody to pester you. We fed the mule deer and watched elk every night all from a hot tub. Loved this place and will be renting again if we vacation in Utah again.

National Park Anniverary Getaway

This property was very secluded. It was such a treat to have so many animals to watch each morning and late afternoon. And the stargazing from the front lawn was spectacular. We took day trips to Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks and the drive was just right. If you are looking for peace and quiet and somewhere that has all the amenities and lots of privacy this place is perfect.

Wilderness Paradise

This well maintained 2 bed 1 bath cabin is the perfect place to escape the trappings of city/ suburbia life and live among the wild. Every morning with our coffee we sat out front and watched the deer and wild turkeys come down for breakfast. Same thing at dinner time only now the Elk joined in. This cabin had all that we needed in the way of kitchen utensils, towels, internet, washer & dryer, and soaps. It was a short distance from both Zion and Bryce which made it a great place to stay and visit the canyons. And it is a very secluded location. In fact it is so secluded that the windows don't have curtains! What a fantastic find! We will be back.

We have visited this beautiful property over ten times, spanning twelve years. This is one of the most remarkable wildlife experiences anyone can ever hope for. We spend hours on the front porch watching all the wildlife that use the expansive pasture this cabin overlooks. Thank you Mark & Amy for making this wonderful property available for us to book.
