Luxury Western Ranch
With only 52 cabins on a sprawling 2,700-acre property, visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the landscape. Guests can cozy up on a cabin porch swing and watch the herd of buffalo grazing in the meadow or take in the vistas while dining at the on-property Buffalo Grill.
This Western ranch resort provides visitors with a relaxing yet adventurous vacation in Utah. The area is rich in history and is home to Indian Knoll, a tree-topped hill where ancient Native American artifacts can still be found today.

Choose an Outdoor Activity or Relax with a Massage
This resort is outdoor activity-driven. There is no swimming pool or hot tub, no workout room and no business center. But who needs those things when you have most any kind of outdoor activity available in the immediate area–such as horseback riding (on property), off-roading, mountain biking, rock climbing, canyoneering or hiking in Zion National Park.
For those who want to relax after a strenuous day taking advantage of adventure sports, the resort does have a certified massage therapist that is available for private massages by appointment.
Family Fun
• The ranch does offer a "Family Adventure Package" that includes 3 nights accommodation, breakfast for 3 days, and 3 one-hour horseback rides for $550.

Word to the Wise
• For those who can't live a day without checking e-mail, there is a free computer in the general store. However, it doesn't offer much privacy since it's right next to the cash register.
• Cell phone coverage can be spotty.
• There is no lobby or place to relax/congregate other than the cabins.
• There are few amenities in the area such as restaurants, souvenir shops, gas stations. That is what makes this resort special and unique, but something to be aware of. The closest town is Springdale, accessible through the South Gate of Zion National Park.
