Guest Reviews
- Kristýna (10/5): - Měli jsme pronajatý tiny house asi 5 minut od ranche. Je to krásné klidné místo. V restauraci jsme si dali večeři, bylo to dražší, ale vše z místních surovin a moc dobré. Ráno si tam můžete zajít i na snídani za 19$ na osobu.
- michel (10/5): - sehr autentisch mehr als freundlich unterkunft und essen super
- Maria (10/5): -
- NICOLAS (10/5): Magnifique bungalow dans un décor de western. - L’emplacement. La vue. Les bisons Le restaurant, très cher et avec peu de choix.
- Dorit (8/5): -
- Myriam (9/5): Etape très chouette en famille - On s'est senti comme dans une bulle hors du temps dans ce ranch situé près d'une entrée de Zion, sur la route de Bryce. Le cadre est très beau. Les enfants ont adoré grâce à la proximité avec les animaux. Notre chalet était situé de l'autre côté de la route, donc un peu moins charmant que ceux bordant la prairie. Surtout, les équipements commençaient à dater et auraient mérité un rafraichissement. Le rapport qualité/prix est décevant à ce titre, surtout que les tarifs du petit-déjeuner/dîner sont également élevés.
- Rodger (8/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): -
- Sumner (9/5): - Location, staff, restaurant all good. Ranch setting with horses, big and small, chickens and great Pyrenees with puppies. Restaurant was good. We stayed in a cabin off site that was nicely set up, location was amazingly quiet abd the night sky was not i terrified by light. Star gazing was great. Can't think of anything.
- Stephanie (9/5): Magnifique endroit ! - Chambre sous forme de petites maisons en bois, très charmante. L'endroit est magnifique. Proche de Zion (en voiture). La ferme avec tous les animaux accessible pour les enfants est un plus. La balade à cheval avec Rauchel (prestation en plus) était vraiment super, . Le repas au restaurant était très bon. La propreté de la chambre - poussières et vieilles chaussettes sous le lit, pas de house de couette, coussin sur le banc extérieur sale. Salle de bain abîmée et qui donc donne un effet sale. Matériel dans la chambre - 3 chaises pour une chambre de 4.
- Sylvain (7/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): - The ranch area is beautiful and so close to the park. The little cottage was roomy, clean and comfortable. It was very relaxing after a long day to wander around the ranch and see the animals. The new puppies were adorable!! The convenience of the restaurant is a plus if you don't feel like traveling to Springdale. The food is good but the menu is limited and entrees not accompanied by sides but that may be how restaurants are around the area. Overall, a really nice stay. No complaints. I would highly recommend a stay here. Oh, and the night sky is incredible! As mentioned, the menu at the restaurant could use some tweaking. Like added side dishes. Also it was disappointing that both nights we were here that they were out of one entree making a limited menu more limited. But the convenience of the restaurant was wonderful, the food was good and the wait staff were very friendly and attentive .
- E3304LUjamiem (2/5): Cabin in disrepair and NOT clean - The cabin was in disrepair and was dirty. We rented the "Rim Cabin" for the view and the privacy. The Tub bottom was cracked in 3 places and unusable. The mini fridge had broken shelves and no door on the freezer sections...so in the middle of the night our soda cans froze and exploded. The most disappointing part was the general unclean state of the cabin. There was a lot of dust over every surface, cobwebs all over (including the shower ceiling), mystery stain on the comforter for the bed, dirty shower, long dark hair in the sink and on the bed pillow and crumbs on every surface. We talked to staff the first day we arrived and the second day when we checked out. They were kind and listened and said they would look into a discount for us. I received a text from the ranch with a survey and when I rated it a "3", they said they would forward my concerns to management. It's been a week and no one has reached out and no discount was given. Overall, very disappointed with the room and the lack of contact from the Ranch. I wont be back and would not recommend staying there.
- Traci (10/5): passing through, will plan to stay longer and try a trail ride next time - Check in was easy, friendly staff, clean quiet room, comfortable beds. Grounds were beautiful, ate dinner on site, good food, walked a trail around the property after dinner. Visited the animals, mini horses, horses, Dogs, Puppies, watched the bison on the preserve. Great breakfast the next morning. Check out was easy It was great, cant think of anything
- Aliza (8/5): -
- Morgane (9/5): - La sérénité, les animaux, la cuisine du restaurant Rien
- beneV9553AW (4/5): Upkeep, amenities, and service lacking - Probably once was a great spot, but is now neglecting upkeep of the place and quality of service.
- Loreena (1/5): Inaccurate listing - Highly disappointed by our stay at Zion Mountain Ranch. - I personally tend to leave positive reviews and move on when something falls short, but this experience was fully disappointing end-to-end, and the absence of customer service made it worse. We had planned on adding horseback riding with the Ranch but we didn't. The experience killed any desire to engage further with the property. We were very much looking forward to our stay given the glowing reviews and bucolic scenery, but our experience fell very short. 1) First off, the cabin location was inaccurately listed. Cottage/Gateway cabins are NOT on the Ranch property but located in an RV campground which is a 7-min drive from the Ranch itself (Check out: Hi-Road Basecamp). This was not mentioned at the time of booking, and the property has since fixed it by adding a screenshot to the room description on Booking.com. There was no compensation or alternative offered to account for the inaccurate listing. I would have appreciated transparency from the property to set expectations for paying $325/night ($732 for 2 nights) to stay in an RV campground instead of the Ranch, as advertised. We were initially planning on enjoying breakfast at the Cordwood Ranch restaurant, but with the cabin not located on the Ranch, we would have had to drive back and forth to re-enter the park and waste 20 minutes driving. 2) Cabin cleanliness and equipment: the coffee machine was dirty and unusable, and the shower grout could also use some deep cleaning. No extra blanket, no blow dryer, one set of shower towels for 2 nights. 3) To top this off, our experience at the Cordwood restaurant was also very disappointing. The dishes were served with missing items (not as stated on the menu), with no mention of this when taking our orders. We were told they were running out of items, this can happen, but why not acknowledge this at the time of the order? We also had to bring this up at checkout, as the bill was initially presented to us in full and we had to request a discount, echoing the experience with the cabin.
- Rahel (7/5): Mehr erwartet als bekommen - Die Tiere Freundliches Personal war sehr bemüht die Mängel aufzuheben als auch einen Discount angeboten Restaurant direkt auf der Ranch Gute Aussicht auf die Bisons Zimmer war dreckig, auch nach Meldung kam das Houskeeping erst am nächsten Tag nach 16 Uhr Whirlpool war aufgrund verdreckter Rohre 2 Tage nicht nutzbar als auch teilweise kaputt. Kein Safe Restaurant auf der Ranch überteuert
- Emmanuelle (10/5): Un vrai coup de cœur - Le ranch est magnifique. Notre cabane était très confortable, un grand lit, une baignoire, un coin cuisine. Nous avons bien aimé le restaurant et les produits de la ferme. Nous avons même goûté au bison. Une adresse incontournable si l’on préfère le calme de la prairie à l’agitation de Springdale. Tout était parfait.
- Martha (9/5): Relaxing and great place to stay while exploring Zion. - The cabin location (South side), the views, the horses, the quiet, the proximity to Zion. The soaking tub. The front desk staff! We had to get regular blankets from the office - the huge heavy comforter was too much. Also, we always like to have a bedside table and lamp on each side of the bed - I ended up using a cooler on my side and it was problematic. There is space for a skinny table and small light on the far side of the bed. The shower was strange...
- claire (10/5): -
- Jenna (10/5): Awesomeness - Amazing place! We loved all of it!
- NICOLAS (10/5): Chalet de charme dans un décor de western. - Le chalet, très chaleureux. La vue, incroyable. Les bisons !
- James (10/5): -
- Anouk (9/5): Excellent! - Location, bizons, restaurant! Nothing
- SOPHIE (7/5): - L'esprit de chalet. La proximité avec les animaux, notamment les bisons, les dindes, les chevaux... Le cadre. Le feu à l'extérieur. Le jardin. Le chauffage très bruyant. Le petit-déjeuner excessivement cher.
- Dario (8/5): -
- Nookambika (10/5): Very recommended place. - The property was amazing, the scenery, the suite and the animals, I loved this place. The staff is amazing, they respond so fast and soooo well. They are very kind The towels could have been cleaner, apart from that rest all are amazing
- Mischa (9/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): - Endroit magnifique à tout point de vue : les Lodges étaient spacieux, confortables et propres (nous étions 4), le personnel était charmant et la nourriture (produits locaux) était délicieuse. C’est un endroit tout à fait atypique, en pleine nature. Dépaysant. Belle surprise À faire sans hésitation
- Judy (4/5): - Food was good, front staff very nice. Room cold (temperature) and bare. Too much ambient light from main buildings and cottages. Restaurant overly expensive.
- Sonia (9/5): Proximidad - El lugar
- Daniela (8/5): -
- M4108NJteris (10/5): Beautiful Cabins and views - This was so fun and the cabin we stayed in was beautiful inside. We went on the wagon ride out to the buffalo herd and my grandbaby loved it. This is a great place to stay with your family, go hiking and enjoy nature. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant is really good.
- Ghada (2/5): Very disappointing - Good location. Cleaning staff were friendly. I honestly wish I had read the reviews on other websites carefully before coming here. The stay was very disappointing especially for the price. The property smells bad, feels unkept, and does not match the photos or the value being charged. In person, it looks much more worn down and smaller than expected. Pillow quality was poor. The towels in the bathroom were shredded. No basic amenities. No fridge or mini fridge as advertised. The surrounding area also felt unmaintained, and there was noticeable noise from the street. Reception staff lacked professionalism. Overall, it did not live up to what was advertised. I wouldn’t stay here again or recommend it. Reached out to the management team through booking to provide the feedback. They managed to give us extra linens on request.
- Anjoli (8/5): -
- Federico (8/5): -
- Jürgen (8/5): Wir kommen bestimmt wieder - Unser zweiter Aufenthalt. Wieder wunderbar! Hatten ein tolles Cottage mit herrlicher Aussicht. Der Ausritt war wieder grandios. Personal klasse! Leider zur Ferienzeit mit zu vielen respektlosen Eltern und Kindern! Die Tiere haben uns leid getan…. Ich finde das Personal dürfte ruhig eingreifen! Das Restaurant war leider auch überfüllt.
- macker389 (10/5): Animals and outdoor bliss - Staying at Zion Mountain Ranch was truly a highlight of our trip. We loved that our children could hold the very patient chickens, pet baby ducklings, and miniature horses, and just play freely in the great outdoors with the many other children there. We went on a trail ride and bison feeding tour - both with Connor - and had a phenomenal time! I especially loved the 3 sweet Great Pyrenees who guard the livestock at night and often can be found sleeping on the front porch. The ranch really does provide families with a beautiful respite, surrounded by nature and animals.
- bdntd (10/5): Zion Mountain Ranch - a special family owned property - We love Zion Mountain Ranch! It is conveniently located near the East entrance of Zion National Park and is about 1 hour away from Bryce National Park. We stayed here for 5 days and 4 nights and were treated to idyllic views of great bison and majestic horses roaming up to the fence to peer at us! Our sons, ages 12 and 13, truly loved chasing and cuddling the roosters, chickens, and ducklings! There are horse led tours, hay rides, and a great fire pit for s’mores! We stargazed at night and chatted with other guests! It was a wonderful way to wind down after a dull day of hiking and canyoneering at the national parks. We stayed in a charming cabin with two king sized beds and a sitting area - perfect for our family of four! There are also larger accommodations that sleep 16! The location, the clean and charming accommodations, the gorgeous property full of farm and wild life - what a great value - everything made our stay very memorable. We love that Zion Mountain Ranch is family owned and is managed with a lot of heart.
- Andreas (8/5): -
- djphaneuf (8/5): Nice Location and Animals - Our little cabin was pretty basic but had a comfortable bed, was quiet and scenic. We really enjoyed watching the bison herd along with the horses, chickens and dogs. The restaurant was a nice walk from the room (bring a flash light at night) and the food was good even if the organization was terrible. Overall a food stay.
- Kendratwelve (10/5): Stay in cabin 210! - We stayed 3 nights in cabin 210 and it was above and beyond our expectations! Perfectly set up, had everything we needed, the views and the area was so beautiful. The soaker tub sealed the deal and was exactly what we needed after long days of hiking in the park. We loved the bison roaming, the chickens and mule deer. The restaurant was convenient and yummy. Great staff. Highly recommend cabin 210.
- Andrea (9/5): Ottima soluzione in azienda al contatto con la natura - Ottima colazione ed ottima location Tempi di attesa del servizio
- 950erico (10/5): Beautiful lodge 224 - Our stay at Zion Mountain Ranch was absolutely exceptional. If you are looking for a true high-end ranch experience that perfectly balances rugged beauty with top-tier hospitality, this is the place. The accommodations were stunning, but what really set this stay apart was the level of service. I want to give a massive shout-out to the Guest Manager, Colin. His professionalism was above and beyond to ensure every aspect of our visit was seamless and what great guest services should look like.
- Dmitry (10/5): - Im so glad I found this place! the cabins are pretty spread out so you end up kinda isolated from other guests. The cabins are very good, solid quality. You can roam and find amazing outlooks to the nearby canyon. At night you can see the Milky Way We paid for a cabin with jetted tub and the jets didn’t work. Upon checkout I informed the staff about it and they just shrugged, they were not even apologetic. But the rest about the place was so unique and nice and that’s why I’m giving it a high rating
- Culture686084 (10/5): Parents 50th Anniversary Destination - This was the absolutely perfect place to celebrate our parents 50th anniversary! We LOVE Zion, and it was so nice for everyone to be in a large spacious cozy cabin together. The horseback riding was by far the best trail ride I've ever been on. ( We did the one hour Mountain Goat ride) Connor our guide, made us feel safe and shared various interesting facts about the animals and area. It was a great experience, and we plan on coming every year!
- brandia667 (10/5): 10 Year Wedding Anniversary - We stayed a week here to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary without the kiddos. It was such a great location for nearby adventuring! We did an on site horseback tour and our guide Christian was so awesome! He was very experienced and knowledgeable on horses and the area. Dallas at the front desk was so friendly and helpful! We enjoyed service at Cordwood as well! We also booked a canyoneering tour through there website and had a great experience! We were able to make a day trip to Bryce Canyon and stop at Valley of Fire on our way out to Las Vegas Airport. We loved watching the buffalo come over the hill in the mornings. The cabin was great! They had lots of layouts and sizes to choose from. Such a relaxing and peaceful place! Lots of ranch animals to admire too.
- YumYum06 (10/5): "Ride of a lifetime" Don't miss this place! - We had an amazing horse trail ride at the Zion Ranch today. It was so good to be back in the saddle! This place is spectacular, riding the trails up and along the mesas on the highest level of the grand canyon. A big thank you to Christian the ranch's wrangler and our guide, for making our trail ride and Bison introduction such an formative and enjoyable experience. We loved seeing and learning all about the Bison on the ranch and the ranch's relationship with the traditional people in the area. This was definitely "a ride of a lifetime" but we didn't get to see any rattlesnakes! 😆 The ranch is beautiful. I wished we had booked our accommodation there. Maybe next time we visit the US.....
- snowp808 (10/5): Restful alternative to Springdale madness - Stayed two nights and fell in love with the tranquility of the location. Accommodations are in cozy private cabins, and you can wake up to a mountain view and bison playing in the pasture. The staff is phenomenal - shout-out to Nick and Brian at the front desk who bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Cordwood, the onsite restaurant, is open from 7 am to 10 pm to accommodate your adventurous schedule and turns out top-notch meals all day! Our servers Kelle and John were both personable and professional. Horseback riding around the property, stargazing by the firepit, petting the resident chickens, and checking out the hydroponic greenhouse were very extra. Can’t wait to return!
- Chris (10/5): - Beautiful property. Felt like a special place near Zion
- Laura (10/5): - El lugar es impresionante, las cabañas son muy cómodas y bien equipadas con todo lo necesario. El personal es muy amable. Tienen un restaurante que vale la pena visitar además soy celíaca y pidieron prepararme algo sin problema. No poder quedarme más tiempo
- FREDI (9/5): - LA ubicación y comida , excelente
- 305carynw (10/5): The Most Peaceful Place - We were visiting the area and happened across Zion Mountain Ranch while driving towards our lodgings. We did a horseback riding tour (so fun), ate at the restaurant for breakfast (delicious), and stopped back in after our park day to see the bison eating during sunset. The wranglers were very friendly, all of the animals were precious (horses, dogs, chickens), and the rest of the staff we met were equally as nice! I could’ve stayed a few more hours just wandering the property and enjoying the view from outside of the main building. Incredibly peaceful and picturesque! Also very close to the east entrance of Zion. We will stay here if we ever come back!
- SDEM (10/5): A perfect stay for a Zion/Bryce family adventure - As you drive up to check in, you look out across a beautiful pasture. There are horses in the nearby pasture and it is tranquil all around you. We absolutely loved our stay in a 2 bedroom cabin. The beds were so comfortable, views were endless and we had everything we could need with our kitchenette, living room, dining room and porches. Such a great experience during our 4 night stay while visiting Zion and Bryce. Loved using the East entrance for Zion and seeing the desert bighorn sheep driving in. We can’t wait to come back!
- Leah (10/5): Beautiful relaxing stay - Lovely relaxing stay, Cabin was exactly what we had hoped for and the resturant was very nice. Food was amazing
- Sandrine (8/5): Très beau séjour dans un cadre agréable avec un beau confort. - Un bel emplacement pour visiter la région (Zion et Bryce canyon). Chalet en bois très joli et confortable dans un espace boisé avec autour chevaux et bisons. Un peu de gêne par le bruit du chauffage au gaz donnant sur les chambres.
- LAURA (10/5): You will love it there. Very peaceful and star gazing was super nice! - The weather, the scenery. It was peaceful and beautiful Had to drive quite a bit to some restaurants
- jeno598 (8/5): Mixed Bag - We liked this place and would recommend to adults. if traveling with kids for more than a night and It's warmer weather, I would stay at the nearby Ponderosa ranch. This place is very rustic and pretty, close to the park. Cabins have beautiful views and privacy. But could def use a refresh inside. Livingroom furniture is shabby and floors were in terrible condition. Our fridge was broken and froze all the food we brought with us. Coffee maker did not work. Bathrooms were beautiful and bedrooms were nice. The highlight of staying here is the Bison tour w/Kyle who was very nice and we learned alot from him. Also, the 2 hour trail ride w/Christian. Ride was gorgeous and we learned so much from him, he is very knowledgeable. They could not find someone better to take people out. The restaurant is good, very cute. Serv and food are good as well. Had Carmella for a waitress several times we liked her alot. She gave us some great advice for the area etc. Waitresses must tend to the one wood stove they have morning, noon and night. Never been to another place that expects that .I felt bad for them esp in the am.(we ate there alot) Its not for atmosphere its the only heating source, stove looks 200 yrs old and the place is made completely out of wood, gets pretty smokey. Again the staff make this place worth the visit, animals seemed well cared for. Dogs are adorable! Place just needs some attention from upper management or owners.
- sue1999 (8/5): Perfect for Humans - Review for Humans We traveled from Nevada and entered Zion National Park through the main entrance, which I didn’t even realize you could drive through by car (you do pay the park entrance fee). The drive itself was absolutely spectacular. Honestly, I enjoyed it more than some of the usual hiking routes that require shuttle buses. The ranch appeared shortly after exiting the park and is in the middle of nowhere, so come prepared with food and drinks. The cabin was beautiful and very comfortable. We stayed in Cabin 142 with two families (8 people total) and one dog, and there was plenty of space. The layout was perfect: • Two identical king-bed suites with spacious bathrooms for the adults • Upstairs had a cute dorm-style setup with six single beds, which the kids loved The cabin was warm, quiet, and felt like a true retreat. The view was amazing, the king beds were very comfortable, and the bedding was clean. The small kitchen was almost fully equipped, and the fridge was a good size. Overall, it was a peaceful, beautiful place, and we really loved the cabin itself. One suggestion: it would be very helpful if the website included floor plans or more detailed room descriptions for each cabin. Review for Pets We travel frequently to Utah and California and usually bring our dog, but unfortunately, this was the worst experience we had. I did not see clear pet policies listed on the cabin description or website. We originally assumed pets were allowed because we got the recommendation from other pet owners, but I called ahead to confirm. Only certain cabins allow pets, so we had to switch cabins. Thankfully, staff were flexible. At check-in, the experience was uncomfortable. The front desk staff immediately asked if I had an animal and handed me a pet policy form. The pet fee was $150 for one night because our cabin had three bedrooms (smaller cabins cost less). This was definitely higher side than any other Airbnb or pet-friendly lodging we’ve stayed at. Then I was told: • Their white ranch dogs may “attack” my dog • My dog could only be walked around our cabin • My dog could not be near the office There was no apology or friendly explanation, and the tone felt unwelcoming. Shortly after, while driving to the cabin at about 5 mph, another staff member stopped me and said I needed to drive slower and more quietly because of horses—which was confusing, since I was already driving extremely slowly. Once we settled in and tried to take our dog out for a bathroom break, two large white ranch dogs were roaming freely around our cabin and barking at our dog. This made it stressful and unclear how we were supposed to manage our pet. It was frustrating to pay such a high pet fee while feeling like our dog wasn’t truly welcome or safe outside. To make matters worse, at checkout we were charged almost $20 more in tax and Zion park fees just on the pet fee, bringing the total to nearly $170 for one dog for one night. The ranch really needs to clearly update their website with detailed pet policies, including the presence of unleashed ranch dogs (they were Great Pyrenees). We absolutely loved the cabin and would love to return. Hopefully, with clearer pet policies and a more welcoming check-in experience, our next stay could be much better. Edit: We interacted with two staff members—one at check-in and one at check-out. The staff member at check-out was very friendly and kind, which almost made me feel bad about complaining. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was not pleasant at all.
- seanb361 (8/5): Great Access Point for Park. Amazing Sunset - Had really high hopes for the ranch. It was great, let down by a very poor night in the restaurant. It was amazing to see the Bison but thought may be a bit more within the grounds. We were staying across the road in the rooms, they were rustic, little bit cold (but to be expected), people were very friendly and it is a great access point to the park. Shame the restaurant didn;t manage ot get us any food after 90 minutes.
- 214tabithaq (10/5): Mississippians to the Zion Mountain Ranch - We stayed in a meadow cabin which was one king bed, mini fridge and microwave. Beautiful scenery with a true ranch feel with the bison range and horse coral. Cordwood restaurant was great. Easy check in/out. 10/10 and would recommend to anyone to come for a visit. Two national parks nearby also! Thanks ZMR for a wonderful stay.
- Amymv74 (6/5): Peaceful Zion Retreat — Loved the Bison Views - We’ve stayed here several times, and it continues to be our favorite place when visiting Zion! This trip, we stayed in Cabin 121. The access from the vehicle to the cabin was a bit challenging…my mom uses a walker, and it took us a while to get her situated. The views from this cabin face the bison field and lobby area, but don’t include the stunning mountain backdrop you’ll find from other units. The furniture is a bit outdated and could use a deeper cleaning; I even looked for a blanket to cover the chairs but couldn’t find any extras. There’s a standard coffee maker (no Keurig) and no wine glasses or tumblers—small touches that make a stay at this price point feel more special. That said, I still absolutely adore this place. Watching the bison roam and taking in the gorgeous night sky was a peaceful highlight of our trip. If you have the option, I highly recommend Cabin 148..the view there is phenomenal!
- DaveHCOYR (4/5): Take warm clothing for the restaurant! - The hotel is miles from Zion National Park and makes the journey there and back each day a rather difficult proposition, in other words it is fairly remote. The cabins were not very clean with poor cleaning. The one saving grace was the food in the restaurant, which was good. However the restaurant itself was another matter. It was very cold, no heating was on in the main part and there was reluctance to light the fires in the two side rooms, they were not lit at all when we went for breakfast and the outside temperature was hovering around zero.
- Aussiebitz (2/5): Beautiful ranch, close to the park, staff is friendly, cabins are nice enough. - We arrived here on a driving trip out West coming from PA. We are traveling with our Bernese Mountain Dog who is also a service dog. After a long drive we checked in at about 9pm and I decide to let my dog out to relieve himself. The ranch call itself pet friendly and dogs on a leash are welcomed. As I walk my dog on his leash two white Pyrenees dogs come up to him and start to attack him. I panic and go inside to the check in area, trying to get away from the two big dogs. To my surprise there are three more inside and the lady behind the desk starts to warn me and tells me to get my dog out immediately or else the ranch dogs will attack my dog? Whattt??? I struggle outside, the ranch dogs are on full alert and trying to attack my dog, in breaking the fight up one of them nipped me in my finger. Nothing serious but I am shaken. I get my dog back in the car, it is pitch black, no lights anywhere outside the parking area and return inside. The five dogs have calmed down, luckily. I love any dog but these guys are intense. The front desk lady tells me that they were just doing their job as they are on a working ranch and they see dogs as possibly trying to attack the wild stock. That is like saying, I am sorry my dog bit you, it just comes with the breed.. No signs anywhere warning you of this. Nothing about the unfriendly dog pack they warn you about when checking in and, I still haven’t spoken to the owner. I finally check in, they say the cabin is far enough that the dogs will probably not come out. In the morning I wake up with 3 of these giant dogs going crazy in front of my porch. My dog is inside but they had totally sniffed him out. Now I don’t dare to leave the cabin. The nicest guy from the stables comes up and walks with me and my dog to make sure ha can fend off the dogs if they come and attack again. I am so incredibly mad that this “pet friendly” place does not disclose that their dogs attack other dogs. They refuse to confine them and just let them roam the property and the dogs while very sweet with people absolutely do not get along with other dogs. So now I feel like a prisoner in this cabin. Management says more people have had issues but that the owner refused to do something about it. I have been asking for the owner of the ranch to call me but to no avail. For this reason I rate this place a minus 10 but this will only affect you if you are too traveling with your pet. We tried to find a different place but everything is fully booked. In other remarks, the food is good, our cabin has a great view. As some have mentioned , the furniture is slightly outdated and the bath tub was full of hair in drain. Insider tip, bring your own coffee to brew in cabin, their roast is yuck!
- X9207UHkarenw (10/5): Great place to stay while taking in all the area offers. - We just finished up a week's stay using ZMR as our base while visiting Zion NP and the surrounding area, and had a fantastic time. When we arrived, I was originally ticked that our cabin did not have a fireplace though plumbed for it. But it did have a soaking tub. Which after climbing Angel's Landing, that tub was the most wonderful thing ever and I did not miss the fireplace. We were only in the cabin to sleep really anyway. The cabin was cozy, comfortable, quiet and well decorated. The shower was also awesome. The on-site restaurant, Cordwood was very good and we ate breakfast and dinner there several times. Everyone was gracious and helpful. We also went on the sunset horseback trail ride and the guides and horses were great. From there we day tripped to Bryce Canyon, Buckskin Gulch and the Lower Antelope Slot Canyon, in Page AZ, in addition to Zion, all spectacular.
- Lois (9/5): We had an incredible vacation and loved the ranch! - Food was incredible! Liked everything!
- Jeremy (8/5): -
- Gibe (9/5): Toller Aufenthalt auf einer schönen Farm. - Schöne Holzhäuser mit bequemen Betten und guter Ausstattung. Essen war etwas teuer aber sehr fein. Toll, die vielen Tiere auf der Farm. Reitausflug sehr zu empfehlen.
- Sightseer29196127553 (10/5): Cool working ranch for lodging outside Zion NP - We stayed a few nights at this ranch — cute cabins that overlook a field with about 40-50 bison. Large, friendly dogs patrol the ranch, and greet you if out walking. Horse rides if you’re interested, and a tasty dining room for all meals. It’s 5 minutes outside the east entrance to the park, and not nearly as crowded as Springdale gets. Rustic, great service, good people, and an excellent choice for lodging if visiting Zion National Park.
- Elisa (9/5): -
- Denis (10/5): We would tell anyone wanting ranch experience to go there. - Breakfast and dinner was great. Staff were helpful and friendly. Enjoyed feeding bison and trail riding.felt like the dude ranch experience. No complaints.
- Rachel (8/5): - Beautiful ranch, with comfortable rooms. Plenty of activities and close to zion national park
- Julia (9/5): -
- MILA (6/5): - The only thing I liked about this place was quietness. But that didn’t even last long. The ranch dogs cried all night, we were not able to sleep all night. This place was nothing special. The pictures shown the website are not like the real cabins. It was beaten up, dirty, mean (the reception guy), and expensive (espionage dining).
- Roman (10/5): -
- Jessica (9/5): We will definitely be back. - Beautiful setting very close to Zion. We loved their dogs and ended up with one in our room accidentally before check out!! A second sink for the kitchen area would have made things perfect.
- A7988STkatyr (10/5): DELIGHTFUL!! - We were on a road trip. Of all the hotels we stayed this was our favorite and the one we keep talking about. Ready to return!!! Great location for visiting Zion in particular. Everyone that works there and the guest were just delightful! We Loved our cabin with the porch swing and clawfoot bathtub. We watched a big storm come in, enjoyed the thunder and lightning and the changing of the light. Cabin was very comfortable and well-appointed for a cabin. We walked to the on-site restaurant and had two beautiful meals for dinner as well as breakfast each morning. Everything was unique and fresh. They have a beautiful garden on the property that provides some of the ingredients. The managers were lovely and so helpful. Great little gift shop on site too. Dogs, chickens, Shetland ponies, horses and buffalo what more can you want.
- Evoony (10/5): An Unforgettable Week at ZMR - We spent six nights at Zion Mountain Ranch, and when it was time to leave, my wife and four daughters were in tears as we drove away. That’s how special this place is. For exploring southern Utah, I couldn’t imagine a better spot to stay. The ranch sits on absolutely gorgeous land, just three miles from Zion National Park’s east entrance, with tons of activities nearby. We were amazed by how much there was to do in the area. The property itself is home to buffalo, horses, ponies, and chickens, but the real highlight for my daughters was the friendly Great Pyrenees dogs. They probably spent hours playing with those gentle giants. Every night after dinner, we’d sit by the bonfire with other guests and those lovable dogs, enjoying the peaceful vibe. Mountain bike trails at Applecross are close by, and I had a blast riding my bike on their fun, flowy trails with cool features. The staff here is incredible. From Rusty and Bryan at the front desk to Christian, who guided us on horseback rides and a bison-feeding adventure, everyone was friendly and made our stay unforgettable. The on-site restaurant, Cordwood, served excellent meals with great service from Kellie, Kade, Todd, and the rest of the team. Our cabin, number 130, was huge, beautiful, and had an amazing view. Staying there felt like stepping into another world—so calm and serene. I highly recommend Zion Mountain Ranch to anyone visiting Zion. It’s a fantastic place to make memories.
- Lisa (10/5): - It was a great stay! Our cabin was clean, the view was nice, & the food at the restaurant was exceptional!
- Cary (10/5): - Cabin was very nice. Bed was comfortable. Area was awesome.
- Ivan (9/5): Zion - Good restaurant. Great location near East Gate Zion. Tired interiors.
- Tink353 (10/5): Beautiful - We stayed at Zion Mountain Ranch for one night and wish we had stayed for longer. The cabin was spacious, we loved sitting on the porch and saw our first humming bird. The food in the restaurant was excellent it was the best meal of our road trip.
- Elodie (9/5): - Le lieu est magnifique. On s y sent tout de suite bien. De plus, le ranch est tres bien situé pour rejoindre zion parc.
- Melissa (10/5): Traumhafter Aufenthalt nahe der Nationalparks. - Wir hatten einen traumhaften Aufenthalt auf der Ranch!Für drei Tage konnten wir hier richtig abschalten und die Ruhe genießen. Es gab viele Tiere, was besonders schön und abwechslungsreich war – perfekt für Naturliebhaber. Unser kleines eigenes Häuschen war gemütlich, sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Man merkt, dass hier alles mit Herz gemacht wird. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen gerne wieder!
- 57DawnB57 (10/5): Great place to stay for access to Zion and Bryce National Parks - We stayed her for 3 nights to explore Zion and Bryce National Parks. It was one of the best places we stayed on a road trip from Las Vegas to Moab. Easy access to both parks and great service. The rooms were really cosy with great views, and as it's a ranch it was also very quiet - which we loved! There is a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we had breakfast and dinner and the food was excellent. We loved the staff, the two dogs, roosters and Bison. Our only disappointment was we never got to feed the Bison. If you want your room serviced - be sure to hang the sign on your door.
- Sarah (10/5): - Beautiful property with private cabins tucked into woods. Nice front porch to sit with a glider. There is a lovely garden and 5 huge Great Pyrenees on property with tiny horses and chickens. Staff was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was a neat experience but quite pricey and not as delicious as imagined. I would stay here again!
- Laura (10/5): - Loved everything about this place! Everything! Location, bison roaming around, horses, restaurant, the night sky!!!! Can’t say enough great things! Relaxation after a very crowded day at Zion!
- Joseph (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Manon (10/5): -
- Tommaso Campanella (8/5): - Il contesto nel verde, gli animali e il nostro alloggio Costo del giro a cavallo un po' elevato
- mariasole (7/5): -
- Steve (5/5): - Like the resort distance from the National Park Nice in the cabin
- Caroline (10/5): Really recommend!! - This hotel has everything we love. We arrived and directly felt at home: the horses, the dogs, the friendliness of the staff. We rented a super nice cabin and really enjoyed our stay. Thank you! The road to Zion can take a long time with the tunnel you should pass, so recommendation to go very early or return before the very busy traffic starts.
- allen (8/5): - Cob webs hanging from ceiling fan no local tv service and the system there using to get streaming services was not working with Apple phone called Apple and they couldn’t help
- J (10/5): Wonderful location with that old west feel. - The location was amazing. The view on the property was fantastic with a bison herd. The 2 bedroom chalet was comfortable. It was close to the main road but the road noise wasn’t very disturbing but it would have been a better experience without the sound.
