What a fabulous Bed & Breakfast! My husband and I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful historic home. It's so comfortable and cozy that we felt right at home. Carla is an incredibly gracious and thoughtful hostess. Her gourmet breakfast is positively delicious. Great location, within walking distance of St. George's downtown attractions. Rates are unbelievably reasonable. The home... More

I was attracted to Quicksand and Cactus B&B because it was the former home of well-known Utah author Juanita Brooks. My husband and I fell in love with the place because of the warm, friendly demeanor of Carla, our host, her delicious breakfasts, and the beautifully-decorated home. We stayed in the room that had served as the original home, and... More

We were in town for the St. George marathon in early October 2012. We were late in the game at setting up our lodging for the race. All of the chain hotels were full by the time we started looking. We stumbled across this nice little B&B. The location was just blocks from the finish line, the price was HALF... More

My husband and I live in Las Vegas, and we wanted to take a trip for our anniversary. We didn't want to travel super far, but still wanted it to be special. We chose the Quicksand and Cactus in St. George because it was small, quiet, and had great reviews. It's prices also beat out the other B&B's in the... More

We had the priviledge of staying with Carla at the Quicksand and Cactus while attending the Ironman St George in early May. Carla was gracious and accomodating, made us feel like part of the family. Our room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. We highly recommend the Quicksand and Cactus to travelers, golfers, and sightseers. It's... More

I was looking for a place to stay while in St. George for the Ironman triathlon that I was competing in on May 5, 2012. After calling numerous hotels and B&B's in the area, I came upon Quicksand and Cactus B&B while on the internet. The house was just up the street from downtown and a great location to all... More

We chose Quicksand and Cactus for its quirky name, its proximity to a walking trail and the affordable price, but we found much much more. Breakfast at a B & B can be tricky because of our odd sleeping and eating habits, but Carla rose to the challenge. She created wonderful late breakfasts around our love of fruit, vegetables and...

We recently enjoyed a couple nights stay at Quicksand and Cactus. It was low key, quiet, enjoyable and what we were hoping for. The historic tie in to Juanita Brooks, author, who was a past owner was definitely part of the appeal and reason we chose this property. It is located on Main Street east of the main blvd on... More
