We were looking for something quiet and peaceful, we got both and much more. The location of the cottage is in one of the most beautiful valleys I have ever seen, should be on a postcard. Loved spending time on the patio and in the hot tub. Plus, fresh made cookies. Wow!

Loved this cottage!
This was the first rental out of many I’ve stayed that ended up being exactly as listed. The place is very clean and cozy. It had we everything needed for our stay and felt like “home.” I appreciated that Vickie walked us through when we arrived to show us around and explain how things worked in the cottage. WiFi in the cottage worked great the entire stay. Streaming on tv only glitched the first night we were there, but some rainy weather was passing over when it happened. WiFi on phones still worked throughout the rainy or cloudy days without issue. The location is easy to get to and cottage itself is private. Waze GPS (on Verizon) worked well to get us there even though signal is weak right before the entrance. 5G service was close enough to allow the map to work all the way there. When leaving, we’d have to drive a few minutes before regaining service to enter a destination in, so we just had to know which direction we were headed when leaving. If we decide to travel back to Zion, this is definitely the place I’d stay!

Best. VRBO. Ever.
If I could have given this cottage 6 stars I would have. This is the best vacation rental I've ever booked. It was the perfect home base for me and my wife on our honeymoon. Quiet, private, comfortable, and clean with an extremely well-stocked kitchen. We spent several nights stargazing from the hot tub and one night enjoyed a fire in the fireplace (prepared for us in advance - just had to light it). The cottage felt like an oasis in the mountains. The location was great, on the West side of Zion not too far from Virgin, La Verkin, and Springdale. Beyond the cottage itself, though, was our incredible host Vickie. This was our first time visiting this area and roughly 90% of our plans came directly from the copious suggestions she provided. She was very responsive and helpful with questions we had about the area during our stay. And she even gave us a bottle of wine and a lovely card to congratulate us on our marriage. While we also had some very good fortune weather-wise for our trip, booking this cottage was the number one reason that we had the perfect honeymoon.

Enchanted is an understatement!
My husband and I were indeed “enchanted” from the moment we pulled into this property! It is beautiful and picturesque, as is the surrounding area. Our hosts, Vickie and Hank, made us feel special and right at home. It was a treat to meet them! Every amenity and detail a traveler could want was provided. The cottage is comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-appointed. Vickie thought of everything and even gave us some lesser-known hiking ideas in Kolob Canyon.This was more than “a place to stay”; it is a destination in itself. I’d really like to keep it a secret!

Vickie and Hank are the best from when we showed up until we left. Vickie walked us through the cottage when we arrived, and even helped with our luggage. The place is very private and a joy to return to after the craziness of Zion. I already miss Hank and his early morning runs. We need to say thanks one last time to Vickie and Hank.

When the Locals Call it “Heaven”
What a magical place to rest & relax regardless of your level of adventures in the region. Vickie & Hank could not have been more welcoming…and I had everything I needed & then some in the beautiful, well-appointed cottage on their 700 acre ranch. And as an aside, when the locals know & rave about the people you’re renting from AND refer to their ranch as “heaven,” you know you’re in great hands at one of the best places in the area :)

Amazing stay in beautiful Zion country
Our hosts Vickie and Hank were absolutely wonderful! The cottage was so meticulously decorated and the pictures surely do not do it justice!! There were so many thoughtful touches in the cottage from condiments and staples to Enhance the groceries we brought to the thoughtful little “birthday cake bites” so elegantly displayed for my birthday! Their ranch is spectacular and I absolutely loved their big Pyrenees/Bernard dog Wickie! We had a splendid, restful and peaceful time and so close to everything we wanted to visit without the hassle of crowds! Would absolutely come back!!

Beautiful little cottage
I really can not say enough great things about this cottage, the location breathtaking, the bed so comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, the hot tub was an added bonus. Now let’s talk about our hosts, they are two of the kindest friendliest people, Vickie took care of every detail, she recommended hikes on the west rim, restaurant for a birthday dinner, left us a welcome treat and responded to any message that was sent. You can tell that they love to have guests on their property, but they also really respect your privacy as well. If we ever find ourselves in this area again we would absolutely stay here again. 10 out of 10.

Sweet little cottage
Vickie was a wonderful host. We arrived later than expected and she was very accommodating with alternate instructions for check-in. She was very helpful with little hints about exploring the area. The ranch and setting are stunning. Very close to the West entrance to Zion. 30 minutes to Springdale and the South entrance. So many treasures around to explore. The cottage was very cute, super clean and well maintained, and very private. We loved it!!!

Well beyond expectations
It is hard to summarize how impressed we were with Sunset Canyon. Vickie thought of everything and went above and beyond in every way. I rarely use vacation rentals, generally preferring hotels, but the cottage was superbly appointed and had everything we could possibly need and then some. It was sparkling clean and well furnished. The hot tub, grill, sports court, pool, and Vickie's helpful and up-to-date information about the Zion area were all cherries on top. I would not return to the Zion area without staying at Sunset Canyon.

So accommodating and comfortable
My wife and I truly loved our brief stay at this property. The cottage was absolutely charming, comfortable and surrounded by beauty. Vickie was extremely accommodating when our airline set us back half a day and we had to arrive in the middle of the night. Never have we been so grateful to see a warm, comfortable and well lit place waiting for us. Nice little extras throughout the cottage made our time feel very special as did the advice about local hikes that we might not otherwise have known about. Very special place.

The perfect stay!
Pictures didn't do it justice, this property was the coziest, homiest, cottage, and it made our trip to Zion absolutely perfect. The furnishings, incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the views, the patio... We would've loved being there without even going to Zion. But coming "home" to the cottage after a long day of hiking and riding the shuttle was a much-needed respite. We truly felt at home and loved our stay. If we come back to Zion, we'll definitely stay here again! Thank you so much, Vickie!

Premier host and lovely cottage.
The cottage at Sunset Canyon ranch was meticulously clean and totally relaxing. We were warmly greeted by three furry souls upon arrival. Every convenience of a well stocked pantry and refrigerator was offered. The cottage is a refurbished historic bunk house that has a petrified wood fireplace wall. AC/heat was perfect. It is a home away from home. Vickie is a wonderful person and was the best host we ever had in all our vrbo stays. The distance to Zion is only 8-9 miles. Many other hikes and adventures are available if Zion is not a plan. The Davis store in Toquerville was excellent. Thank you Vickie and Henry.
