Cottage Near Zion Hiking, Biking and other Fun! Great Central Location.
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage sits in the city center of Hurricane, Utah, and began life generations ago as a Park Ranger cabin at Zion National Park. It was relocated to Hurricane in the 1990s, served as a private vacation home for decades, and reopened as a vacation rental in early 2017, retaining its original exterior while the interior has been fully remodeled. The space is cozy and compact, best suited to couples or small groups, and guests taller than 6'3" should be mindful of low archways.
Amenities & Comforts
The cottage is equipped for self-sufficient stays with a full kitchen including an oven, stove, and microwave, plus a washer, ironing board, and air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a private patio, fireplace, and outdoor grill, while indoor extras include cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and a smoke-free environment. Free parking is also provided on site.
Location & Surroundings
Set in the heart of Hurricane, the cottage puts guests within a couple of miles of numerous dining options, including Alfredo's A Mexican Food, Rooster Run Cafe, Yu Kitchen, Applebee's Grill + Bar, Slurpin' Ramen, and The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill, with Stage Coach Grille, Red Fort, and Touch of Tuscany also nearby. It is well positioned for exploring southern Utah's outdoor attractions, including Zion National Park, Sand Hollow State Park, Red Cliffs National Conservation Area, and local golf courses like Sky Mountain and Copper Rock. St. George Regional Airport is roughly 25 km away, with Cedar City Regional Airport about 60 km away.
Recreation
The cottage markets itself as a base camp for hiking and biking trips into southern Utah, taking advantage of its proximity to Zion National Park and the surrounding trail systems. Nearby Pioneer Park, Stout Park, and Sand Hollow State Park offer additional outdoor activities, and the area supports birdwatching and other wildlife viewing.
Best for
This cottage is best suited to couples or small groups seeking a compact, private, self-catered base for hiking and biking trips to Zion National Park and southern Utah's outdoor attractions. Its full kitchen, patio, fireplace, and outdoor grill appeal to travelers who prefer cooking and relaxing outdoors over hotel-style service, and its central Hurricane location puts a wide range of restaurants within walking or short driving distance. Repeat guests suggest it particularly suits those wanting a familiar, low-key home base for multiple visits to the region.
Travel tips
A car is recommended, as the cottage is a comfortable drive from both St. George Regional Airport (about 25 km) and Cedar City Regional Airport (about 60 km), and having your own vehicle makes it easier to reach Zion National Park, Sand Hollow State Park, and area golf courses. Because the space is small with low archways in places, taller travelers (over 6'3\") should watch their head when moving through the cottage. With numerous restaurants within a couple of miles, guests can easily mix home-cooked meals in the kitchen with dining out.
