The neighbourhood
Zion Ranger Cabin is located in quiet, rural Apple Valley, Utah — an area known for its wide-open desert landscapes, dark night skies, and peaceful surroundings. The property offers on-site walking trails with ancient petroglyphs and is close to Little Creek Mesa and Gooseberry Mesa for hiking and biking. Far enough from Springdale to enjoy true solitude, yet close enough for convenient day trips to Zion National Park.

Free parking with space for up to two vehicles; trailer parking and overflow parking also available. 24-hour access to the shared hot tub. Gazebos, picnic areas, and fire pit with complimentary firewood and basic fire-starting supplies.
Other things to note
Friendly goats live on the property and may occasionally wander nearby. Feral cats are also present — please do not feed or pet them. The cabin is single-story with a few steps at the entrance. Pets are welcome (1 well-behaved pet allowed with a flat fee). Pets must be leashed outdoors at all times due to wildlife and open land.
