What a gem! We enjoyed a splendid week in Virgin at the Rusty House. Steve and Deb have created a unique homestead overlooking a nature preserve along the Virgin River. It was so peaceful and relaxing and in the perfect location for us to explore the area on our road bikes. Zion National Park is easily accessible but we appreciated being away from the touristy areas around Springdale. Rusty House itself is a very comfortable and well-appointed apartment house adjacent to the owner’s home. We prepared many meals in the full kitchen and also slept very well on a very comfortable mattress in the upstairs bedroom. It was very convenient to have a washer and dryer in the house too so we didn’t need to bring too many cycling kits for our vacation. In addition to Zion, there were many fun places in the area to explore including Snow Canyon State Park in Ivins, Cedar City (home to an annual summer Shakespeare festival) and also the start of a breathtaking 17 mile climb, downtown (old) La Verkin and St. George. Steve was extremely helpful and responsive to our needs and is an absolutely charming, first-rate host. Henry, Deb and Steve’s sweet, gentle dog, is available to “borrow” for walks down to the little Falls Park along the Virgin River. He is just as charming as our hosts. We highly recommend the Rusty House for your stays in the Zion National Park vicinity. Absolutely fabulous!

Nice Accommodations in a great location

Lovely hosts (including a sweet dog named Henry), comfy accommodations, and a terrific location to see all of Zion. Views from the Rusty House were spectacular, quiet peaceful nights sleep, nice trails and a short walk down to Virgin River to cool off. Hosts were so helpful ahead of time with suggestions for activities, local fare, local guides, etc. Steve was also really great in sharing tips for navigating particular places that we picked, giving us the "do's and don'ts"that helped us maximize our time.

Home away from home

Great place to stay when spending time at Zion National Park. Far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle but still convenient to get to the park in under 20 minutes. Hosts were very nice and helpful with great tips about Zion and the best places to eat in the area. Even let us borrow some water friendly shirts and zip lock bags to help with our hike of the Narrows! Would stay here again.

We loved the Rusty Guest House

We had a wonderful stay at the Rusty Guest House. It was a great location, beautiful views, away from the crowds but close to Zion National Park and other amenities (groceries, restaurants, etc). I loved all the artwork to explore. The house is well furnished and comfortable. Our hosts were lovely and very helpful and generous with local knowledge. We especially enjoyed meeting Henry the pup who accompanied us on a walk along the Virgin River. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone planning a visit to the area.

A peacefull Location by Zion Park

Steve and Deb are your perfect Hosts! Their home is in a beautiful location in a quiet area, so you can relax and enjoy the serenity of the faraway shades of the red cliffs cutting through the horizon, the sunsets and sunrises, and the stars. From the property, you can walk down to the Virgin River which by the way, flows down to Lake Mead, Arizona. The upstair bedroom with plenty of windows provides an exceptional view of the cliffs cutting through the horizon, giving you perfect photos for your Western look. Not to forget Henry the friendly dog that may accompany you on the trail with his tail constantly wagging with happiness just being with you. The house is fully equipped, very comfortable, and cozy. Try to go to Kolob Terrace Rd, not known to the tourists, right on 9, 1/4 mile left from the 700W. It will take you to 2,500 ft and show you another side of Zion, sunsets with the red rocks are amazing, and the prairies with plenty of deers. We stayed there for one week and enjoyed every single day.
