The vibe: Rustic, art-filled eleganceBed and bath: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathsTop amenities: Al fresco porch dining, spacious common areas Best for: Large groups looking for a soulful cabin
Restoring the Zion Cabin was a labor of love that took its owners, a mother and son team, two years to complete–and it shows. This hilltop hideout is full of eye-catching original artwork, plush reading nooks, a fully-stocked eat-in kitchen, and a massive wrap-around deck, creating an elevated, modern approach to a "cabin in the woods getaway." Plus, there's space for your entire crew to spread out comfortably, with two king beds, two queens, and a dedicated workspace for computer time when you’re not traipsing around Zion's less-visited eastern side, a quick 10-minute drive away.
The vibe: Hobbit chic with epic red rock vistasBed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath Top amenities: Hot tub with a view, ultra-cozy living room Best for: Couples looking to get off the grid in style
It's tough to picture a bevy of thoughtful (and adorably-styled) amenities in such a petite space, but Mother Eve Tiny House manages to deliver the top perks of a hip hotel room, all set in a secluded desert environment. Plop down on the moss green sofa and make a cup of Earl Grey with the kitchen's kettle, kick back in loungers on the private patio beneath a wooden shade structure, or enjoy a hot shower in the robin's egg blue bathroom. Any way you slice it, you’re sure to find some cozy, post-park R&R before retiring to the lofted queen bed.
The vibe: Architectural, sustainable, luxuriousBed and bath: 1-2 bedrooms in the "Leaf Suites," 5 bedrooms in the "Homestead Retreats"Top amenities: In-suite wellness studios, wraparound terraces Best for: Solitude and meditative nature escapes
Set on a staggering 1,110 acres in Utah's Clear Creek Mountains, a mere mile from the edge of Zion, Spirit aims to provide guests with nature getaways that are full of luxe amenities they won't find anywhere else. Each of the property's "Leaf Suites" has an innovative, leaf-shaped roof that provides off-grid power via solar panels and photovoltaic fabric. The property's allure doesn't stop at its power supply–each bungalow also offers a private wellness studio for spa treatments or meditation, an outdoor fire pit, and stunning porch views of top Zion attractions like Checkerboard Mesa and West Temple. Opening in summer 2023.
The vibe: Artist retreat in red rock countryBed and bath: Varies (most have 1 bedroom, 1 bath)Top amenities: A massive soaking tub, access to secluded hiking trailsBest for: Exploring remote zones of Zion
Unlike many national parks, where travelers have vast tracts of land to explore, at Zion, most visitors confine themselves to the 15-mile long main canyon. Lazalu, a secluded adobe-style retreat in the park's oft forgotten Kolob Terrace region, aims to change that. Situated steps away from the park's western edge, this entire property overlooks the striking rust-tinted sandstone of Cave Valley. With vintage furnishings, wood-burning fireplaces, oversized soaking tubs, and quirky design details (like a cross-shaped glass window and hexagonal skylights), Lazalu perfectly blends comfort and solitude in a picturesque, off-the-grid package.
The vibe: Glamping tents made for stargazingBed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath Top amenities: Soaking tubs with sky views, outdoor showers, floor-to-ceiling windowsBest for: A romantic, cuddley escape
If night sky gazing (or watching the sunrise in bed) is your thing, you’ll flip for Open Sky's ceiling windows, which make it possible to brush up on your astronomy from the comfort of your covers. Though all three of their glamping tents feature plush bedding, private decks, and epic views, we love the Star Seeker for its oversized clawfoot copper bathtub, private telescope viewing platform, swing lounger, and enclosed outdoor rain shower.
The vibe: Clean, modern villas and condos with a sweet pool sceneBed and bath: Varies by accommodationTop amenities: Full kitchen, airy living room with a flatscreen TVBest for: Travelers seeking contemporary design or outdoor swimming pools
LaFave is home to an array of luxurious villas, private homes, and one-bedroom suites designed with clean lines, modern furnishings, and the occasional red brick nod to its natural surroundings in the heart of Springdale, Utah. No matter which accommodation you choose, you’re sure to be greeted by a full kitchen filled with stainless steel appliances and a pod-style coffee machine, posh white linens, local photography, and amazing views of Zion Canyon. A community pool is also set to open later this year.
The vibe: Glamping cabins, Conestoga wagonsBed and bath: Varies by accommodation Top amenities: Loveseat swings, complimentary Wi-Fi, and communal fire pitsBest for: Comfortable camping–without hauling in all your gear
Wake up to the scent of wild sage in a spacious, single-pole canvas tent at the Zion Wildflower Resort. Each of the glamping sites is on a handcrafted wooden deck, surrounded by striking views of the area's rust-orange tablelands. Each tent comes fully outfitted with charging ports, complimentary Wi-Fi, a private deck with rocking chairs, heated blankets, and fairy lights. A short path leads travelers to a luxury bathhouse, complimentary bicycle rentals, and a communal fire pit for roasting s’mores. The property also offers chic cabins and bungalows for those seeking four walls.
The vibe: Small town hotel with big brand amenitiesBed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath (suites available)Top amenities: Jaw-dropping veranda views, EV charging, year-round spaBest for: Hilton Honors members who want to stay as close to the park as possible
Hilton's Curio Collection aims to create a more boutique hotel experience from the trusted brand, peppered with unique wall art and local flair. Just half a mile from Zion's main visitor center, the Cliffrose has simple, modern furnishings paired with more upscale amenities like private decks with views into the park, large soaking tubs, and colorful carpets. The hotel also features a restaurant, swimming pool, and year-round spa.

Another stunner from the folks at Under Canvas is this glamping resort unlike any other. With comfy king-size beds, private decks, wood-burning fireplaces, and private bathrooms with showers, flush toilets, and organic bath products, the Zion location is unique because of its jaw-dropping views of nearby umber-colored cliffs. Enjoy on-site dining, made from locally curated ingredients, and complimentary camp activities like yoga, sing-alongs, and roasting s’mores over an open fire pit.
The vibe: Wild West kick-backBed and bath: 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathsTop amenities: A roomy, open-plan common area, full kitchen, and dedicated kids' roomBest for: Luxury, secluded from the park's crowds
Muted turquoise tones, rust-colored loungers, and Southwest-inspired rugs will make you feel right at home in this stunning three-bedroom house featuring sky-high windows with views for miles into Utah's rust-tinted mesas. This home is just steps away from Zion's less traveled Kolob Canyon area and about 45 minutes from Springdale and the main canyon. With a wood wrap-around deck perfect for stargazing, a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and modern Danish furnishings, you’ll need nothing more during your stay.

Views, views, views. Tucked against Zion's Virgin River, this 4,000-square-foot home is full of incredible glimpses into Utah's most famed national park.

Comfortable, clean minimalism is what this luxe home has in spades, and at only 20 miles from the park's entrance, it's a phenomenal spot to unwind after a day spent hiking. Enjoy a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a burbling hot tub, cozy wood-burning fireplace, and a private deck for outdoor cocktails. With so many amenities, the private laundry room and indoor gym (yoga mats are included) just feel like a bonus.

The vibe: You’re staging a photo shoot at the world's most picturesque, cliff's-edge cabinBed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bathTop amenities: Panoramic views, outdoor grill, private hot tubBest for: Couples who want a truly awe-inspiring retreat in Utah
If you can't decide between glamping or renting a cabin, this listing is for you. Set high in the rust-colored red hills surrounding Zion National Park, this tiny, adorable A-frame is close enough to town to grab snacks and groceries, yet far enough away to marvel at inky black night skies. Watch the sunrise from the bedroom's floor-to-ceiling windows, treat your post-hike hunger at the outdoor patio's grill, and relax in the property's private hot tub. A short walk leads to your own bathroom with a flush toilet and honeycomb-tiled shower.
The vibe: Hip group getawayBed and bath: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathroomsTop amenities: The massive outdoor space, complete with an al fresco dining nook and cozy swingBest for: Traveling groups who don't mind staying away from the hustle and bustle of Springdale
With cigar-hued leather sofas, rustic wood bed frames, and Wild West accent art, there's a lot to love at The Ross. The well-appointed kitchen with a French press and pour-over coffee maker, open floor plan, outdoor patio with swinging lounges, and ample dining space combine to make this four-bedroom house that's just a half hour from the park one of the best spots to snooze before a day of canyon adventures.
The vibe: Vintage "parkitecture" at its finestBed and bath: 1 bedroom, 1 bath (cabins available)Top amenities: Gas fireplaces, private porches with stunning park viewsBest for: History buffs keen on sleeping inside the park
As the only in-park lodging that's not a campground, the Zion Lodge has a lot of hype to live up to, but luckily, its 40 private cabins and Southwest-inspired hotel suites lend the perfect amount of charm to visitors who want to bed down close to the action. Think wood beam rafters, gas-powered fireplaces, colorful local fabrics, private porches, and bathtubs for post-hike soaking. (Just don't expect a fast Wi-Fi signal.) Sprawl out on the property's enormous lawn for a picnic lunch or check out the casual Red Rock Grill, open year-round.
The vibe: Flashing back to Utah's cowboy daysBed and bath: Varies by accommodationTop amenities: Private fireplaces, jetted bathtubs, and a scrumptious on-site restaurantBest for: Romantic cabin getaway, no cooking required
Though each of Zion Mountain Ranch's luxurious cabins and updated lodge-style homes are truly unique and full of rustic, Wild West decor, we fell in love with The Rim Cabin, which is the most secluded of their smaller homes and perfect for couples. The 1,000-square-foot bungalow is set at the edge of Meadow Creek Canyon and boasts a large deck with panoramic views. Vintage-inspired fixtures and a separate soaking tub and shower combine to give the bathroom a luxe, antique flair, while the wood-burning fireplace and adjacent farm-to-table restaurant, Cordwood, will transport you back to Utah's cowboy days.

Set above a boutique coffee shop (the floors are insulated from the noise), this newly constructed loft feels like a hip Manhattan apartment with windows that happens to gaze out onto the crumbling red rock formations that make Utah so famous. Snuggle up and watch the sunset on the emerald green velvet couch, whip up some grub with the stainless steel appliances, and enjoy the fact that this apartment is only a three-minute walk to Zion's main entrance.

Each suite features a private plunge pool, fireplace, and breathtaking desert views, while a few boast a private sky terrace for nighttime stargazing. Their nearby Camp Sarika offers unparalleled glamping options.
