Nice Accommodations in a great location
Lovely hosts (including a sweet dog named Henry), comfy accommodations, and a terrific location to see all of Zion. Views from the Rusty House were spectacular, quiet peaceful nights sleep, nice trails and a short walk down to Virgin River to cool off. Hosts were so helpful ahead of time with suggestions for activities, local fare, local guides, etc. Steve was also really great in sharing tips for navigating particular places that we picked, giving us the "do's and don'ts"that helped us maximize our time.

Home away from home
Great place to stay when spending time at Zion National Park. Far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle but still convenient to get to the park in under 20 minutes. Hosts were very nice and helpful with great tips about Zion and the best places to eat in the area. Even let us borrow some water friendly shirts and zip lock bags to help with our hike of the Narrows! Would stay here again.

We loved the Rusty Guest House
We had a wonderful stay at the Rusty Guest House. It was a great location, beautiful views, away from the crowds but close to Zion National Park and other amenities (groceries, restaurants, etc). I loved all the artwork to explore. The house is well furnished and comfortable. Our hosts were lovely and very helpful and generous with local knowledge. We especially enjoyed meeting Henry the pup who accompanied us on a walk along the Virgin River. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone planning a visit to the area.

A peacefull Location by Zion Park
Steve and Deb are your perfect Hosts! Their home is in a beautiful location in a quiet area, so you can relax and enjoy the serenity of the faraway shades of the red cliffs cutting through the horizon, the sunsets and sunrises, and the stars. From the property, you can walk down to the Virgin River which by the way, flows down to Lake Mead, Arizona. The upstair bedroom with plenty of windows provides an exceptional view of the cliffs cutting through the horizon, giving you perfect photos for your Western look. Not to forget Henry the friendly dog that may accompany you on the trail with his tail constantly wagging with happiness just being with you. The house is fully equipped, very comfortable, and cozy. Try to go to Kolob Terrace Rd, not known to the tourists, right on 9, 1/4 mile left from the 700W. It will take you to 2,500 ft and show you another side of Zion, sunsets with the red rocks are amazing, and the prairies with plenty of deers. We stayed there for one week and enjoyed every single day.

Great remote house to stay in for Zion

We loved the rusty guest house. Clean and comfortable with great views. Very close to Zion and LaVerkin. Easy to get to Zion and to Bryce Canyon from here. The hosts were awesome. They gave great tips on travel, parking, local eateries, groceries, sites to see and what to avoid. They live on site, but you wouldn't know they were there most of the time. The guest house is private and detached from the main house. Highly recommended if you are visiting Zion Nat Park.

Perfect base camp
This was a beautiful location with an epic open expanse of a view and mountains out the back porch. We (wife and myself) really didn't stay there a lot except to sleep, but it worked great as a base camp for hiking around Zion. It was also much less costly but with way more amenities and space than anything in Springdale.

Great spot near Zion
Had a great stay at Steve and Deb's "rustic cottage" in Virgin. Location is convenient to Zion and Steve gave us some great suggestions for back country hikes outside the park and nearby restaurants. The place was clean and comfortable, with an outstanding "back yard" looking over the Utah landscape and fast flowing river nearby. As others have mentioned, Henry the dog was also a great host, who checked on us each morning and kept us company during cocktail hour in the late afternoon. Would highly recommend to a couple or small family visiting Zion.
