Kanab Getaway Red Mesa Ranch, Near Zion, Stunning Red Rock & Starry Night Views!

Escape to Red Mesa Ranch, your peaceful getaway nestled just 10 minutes from town and a and a short drive to Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Canyon, and endless outdoor adventures. Imagine returning from a day of exploring to unwind on five acres of open space, where stunning panoramic views greet you in every direction.

From sunrise coffee on the porch to sunset gatherings on the patio, Red Mesa Ranch offers the perfect backdrop for connection and relaxation. Picture evenings spent grilling with friends and family, enjoying lawn games, and watching mesmerizing sunsets over the Mesa. As darkness descends, our night skies transform into a stargazer's paradise around the fire pit.

We're less than a quarter-mile from the endless trails of the Johnson Canyon Recreation Area. In addition to the national parks, we're within easy reach of Buckskin Gulch, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Lake Powell, and the vast Kaibab National Forest near the Grand Canyon.

Enjoy the convenience of our large on-site parking area, providing plenty of space for all your vehicles and recreational toys. For guests with horses, we also have equine facilities you can reserve.

Perfect location for national parks!!

We had the most incredible vacation! Julie and Jim were extremely accommodating! My kids absolutely loved the animals on the property! We spent multiple days hiking in Zion and Bryce. We also visited the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Horse Shoe bend, kayaked on Lake Powell and saw the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. The location of this property was perfect to acess all of these natural, beautiful areas!

Perfect

The property looked exactly like photos listed. Had a great week stay in a central location between a bunch of National Parks. Owners are accessible enough if a problem arises, but also have a ton of privacy. Best rental I've stayed in, and worth every penny!

An incredible home with a gorgeous view

The home was spacious, modern, clean, and well stocked with necessities and amenities. There were wonderful little touches, such as a sign welcoming our family, treats and snacks, and even some homemade soaps from their goats. The owners live in another home on the property and have a few well kept horses, goats and dogs- all wonderful animals. The owners respected our privacy and it was comforting to know they were nearby should a question or need arise. Sitting out on the back patio provided a spectacular view of the unique countryside and made for a relaxing respite at the end of the day. The town of Kanab was about 10 minutes away with good restaurants and the hosts provided a great book of local sites to visit in addition to the convenient location to the more well-known Zion, Bryce, Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon and much more.

Wonderful Experience!

Beautiful new home in a great location! From the decor and furnishings, to the view and ample parking, this home was perfect for our stay in the Kanab area! We wanted for nothing here and the hosts were close by to help us in any way they could. Quiet, relaxing, and comfortable, it was one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in. Great location out of town for visiting several parks and recreation areas. We had two trucks, two motorcycle trailers, and 4 motorcycles and had ample space for it all! Love it here!

Definitely a place to repeat for us

The house was amazing. Perfectly decorated, warm and cozy. My family and I stayed there and loved the home. The owners live on the property and were awesome and attentive. Kenab is a hidden gem and this place gives you access to all of the wonderful places to explore in souther Utah and it's surrounding area. We were able to go to the Grand Canyon, Bryce and Lake Powell / Glen Canyon easily from the house. It is also only 30 minutes away from Zion. Highly recommend this place without reservation.

Lovely home

We had an unforgettable stay in this beautiful house in Kanab, Utah! Our party of 8 couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The property exceeded our expectations in every way. The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The house itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. It provided all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The highlight for us was the spacious kitchen and living area, which made it easy for our group to come together for meals and quality time. The bedrooms were comfortable, and everyone had their own space. Kanab is a fantastic base for exploring the stunning natural wonders of Utah, and this house was the ideal home away from home during our adventures. We enjoyed hikes in the nearby canyons, starry nights, and the tranquility of the area. The communication with the property owner or manager was excellent, and they were always ready to assist with any questions or requests. We loved their horses, goats and puppies too. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat in Utah. It made our trip truly memorable, and we can't wait to come back!

Perfect location for an EPIC Utah adventure

The home was well appointed for multiple adult couples and a few singles to stay together as a Base Camp for the most incredible sights and hikes of Southern Utah. It is in the Geofence area for Coyote Buttes North (The Wave) daily permit lottery. It was an easy drive to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Lake Powell, North Rim of The Grand Canyon, Buckskin Gulch slot canyon, Zion National Park, Bryce National Park and many more, but that's all we had time for this week. The home is close enough to Kanab to grab groceries or go out for meals. The views directly from the home were incredible as we enjoyed the outdoor space to watch the sunset, sunrise, or the stars which could be viewed in High definition. There was plenty of space for people to have quiet time alone, or large gathering central space in the center of the home. We had everything we needed to cook full meals inside or out. The automatic light at the corner of the house was a great addition for safety and convenience to light up the walk upon arrival after a long day of hiking. We definitely recommend this clean well set up home for your EPIC Southern Utah adventure.

We enjoyed three wonderful nights at the Red Mesa Ranch. The house and property were exactly as described and even better in person! The house was immaculate, offered incredible views and plenty of space for the four of us. It allowed us to venture out to the National Parks, Peek-a-Boo Canyon, & Antelope Canyon easily. Kanab was a short drive to town. The horses, goats, and dogs on property made it even more special! We wished we would have stayed longer! We hope to visit again!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

The property was immaculate and Julie and Jim were the most incredible hosts! They went out of their way to make us feel SO welcome! From the welcome sign on the door with our name, to a tray of extra treats. The small details and their thoughtfulness made a big difference! We loved every second of our stay at their place!

Nicest house we’ve ever rented

Sometimes these places come across great in photos but are not quite as pristine in person. not so with this home. It was gorgeous! Every detail is thought out to perfection and every need anticipated. Very clean. We stayed over Christmas and Julie had the place decorated so nicely which our kids loved. Comfortable beds. We loved the animals and visiting with the owners. We visited Grand Canyon, Bruce canyon, and Zion during our visit and also took advantage of some local kanab attractions. Loved it and would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay.
