Overview
The Poppy House is a golden-bricked, red-roofed vacation home in downtown Kanab, Arizona, named for its distinctive exterior. Recently remodeled with new paint, flooring, appliances and furnishings, it blends the comfort and character of a private residence with the convenience of walkable town amenities. It sits within walking distance of restaurants, shops and several local hiking trailheads.
Rooms & Layout
The home spans two levels with three bedrooms total: an upstairs king room and queen room sharing a full bathroom with tub and shower, and a downstairs king room with an additional daybed/trundle offering two twin mattresses plus its own sitting area with TV. The downstairs bathroom includes a shower and a jacuzzi soaking tub, ideal for unwinding after a day of hiking. All beds feature high-quality mattresses, linens and pillows, and bathrooms come stocked with shampoo, conditioner and soap.
Kitchen & Dining
The eat-in kitchen was newly outfitted with quality pots, pans and knives, a Keurig and a drip coffee maker, and tableware for up to 12 guests, with a table that expands to seat six. For dining out, guests are steps from a wide range of options including Rocking V Cafe, Houston's Trail's End Restaurant, Sego Restaurant, Iron Horse Restaurant, Peekaboo Canyon Wood Fired Kitchen, Los Tapatios, Wild Thyme Bistro, Adria's Restaurant, Brown Box Cafe and Havana Cabana.
Outdoor Space & Amenities
A large, fully fenced grassy backyard accommodates pets, kids, volleyball and other outdoor play, while a shaded patio offers a BBQ grill, seating for four, and a hot tub. The property also includes a fitness center, an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi and high-speed internet, central heating and air conditioning, a full-size washer and dryer with laundry soap provided, and ample free parking suitable for an RV or trailer. A dedicated workstation is available for remote work, and a 'cattery' can host a cat sleepover from the nearby Best Friends Animal Sanctuary.
Location
Located in downtown Kanab, the Poppy House puts guests within a few hundred meters of numerous restaurants and cafes and near trailheads for local hiking. The nearest airports -- St. George Regional, Cedar City Regional and Page Municipal -- are all roughly 87 to 97 kilometers away, making this a fly-in, drive-the-rest destination.
Best for
This home suits groups and families visiting Kanab for outdoor recreation or to volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, thanks to its pet-friendly policy, fenced yard, cattery, and multiple bedrooms sleeping a crowd. It also appeals to remote workers and long-stay travelers who value the in-suite workstation, free Wi-Fi, full kitchen, and laundry facilities, and to road-trippers or RV travelers who need ample free parking.
Travel tips
The house is walkable to a dense cluster of restaurants and cafes as well as local trailheads, so a car isn't strictly needed for meals or short hikes once you've settled in. Because the nearest airports (St. George, Cedar City, and Page) are all roughly 90 kilometers away, plan for a rental car or shuttle for arrival and departure. If you're visiting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, the property's cattery and pet-friendly setup make it convenient to combine volunteering with lodging.
