Spent three nights at a Premier Cabin overlooking the buffalo range. Room was clean, warm (propane gas stove), jacuzzi tub was a nice touch. Staff was very nice and able to accommodate our friends' change of room. The animals were a very pleasant surprise...ponies, chickens, horses. And puppies! A ten week old litter of ten were so much fun to watch. Don't get it on the other reviews about no Covid protocols because staff wore masks both in the restaurant and in the office. Everyone super friendly. Ate at Cordwood for three dinners - and one breakfast and given it was mid week after Thanksgiving we were the only people there so felt safe. Food was excellent at every meal. Best pancakes ever. Less than twenty minutes to Zion entrance. Loved the isolation. Will gladly return if we every visit Zion again. Yes they didn't clean the room but staff drove by every morning to see what we needed...towels were switched out and trash taken away.…
I read a few negative reviews, one in particular from Katie, Karen or whatever ever your name is. If you drive by, stop at a gift shop, then write a negative review because someone isn't wearing a mask, you're just an assh0le. You're review only reflects that. Staff is located behind plexiglass, the masks are to stop droplets as is the plexiglass. If you'd like to stay at a ranch style vacation destination, with wildlife all over the property, ranch dogs, and horses that say hello, and an incredible staff, come stay at ZMR. But realize, this a vacation cabin destination which balances a natural minimalistic and comfortable vacation experience. Keep your land rovers below 15 mph, they don't do latte's, and you may have to go without your vegan yogurt for the stay. Otherwise, enjoy your stay and try not to mess it up for the rest of us.…
Our family & friends, a group of 8, just stayed 4 nights at Zion Mountain Ranch. I can't say enough good things about our stay. Everyone at the front desk was lovely to work with and very helpful. Lodge 212 was equipped with everything we needed. We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen was well-outfitted with all the dishes, pots and pans we could have hoped for. We took a sunset trail ride with Haley, who was a fantastic guide. The location is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. Deer everywhere, wide open spaces, and because of the time of year the park wasn't crowded at all. There's so much to do in the area - we can't wait to go back. Thanks for an amazing vacation!!!
We stayed at ZMR the week of Thanksgiving 2020 in cabins 108 and 153. PROS: Separate cabins. Lots of animals to see (ducks, chickens, bison, horses, ponies, deer, even puppies when we went!). Lots of open space to enjoy. Serviceable WiFi. Really cool stove in each cabin keeps it nice and toasty. Plenty of hot water for showers. CONS: Cabins were somewhat in a state of disrepair (certain lights didn't work, toilets like to clog, no sink stopper, shower head was sticking out of the wall, window locks were broken) and not as clean as I would have liked. Terrible water pressure (though family who stayed in cabin 149 said their water pressure was fantastic). OTHER THINGS WORTH NOTING: Re: Covid protocols - Non existent. Only a few staff people wore masks. I come from an urban environment so this was weird, but it didn't bother me since I had little contact with the ranch staff. The cabins don't get cleaned every day though someone does come at the end of each day to freshen towels and throw out trash. This area is CRAZY dark at night so if you're driving in for the first time in the evening there won't be any visible signs to tell you where you are. Make sure you understand the location of ZMR. For me, the location was good especially for the kids, but for others it might not be close enough to the heart of Zion National Park. Also, be aware that there's really nowhere to eat around here except their onsite restaurant Cordwood (see my separate review of Cordwood).…
This place is a hidden gem in Utah. Located right next time Zion National Park, there is tons of nature to enjoy. COVID: Some reviews on here are complaining about a lack of masks. Overall, I found most people we were in direct contact with (servers and housing keeping) wore masks. I’ve come to realize you can’t force anyone to wear a mask as everything becomes too political. We stuck to takeout, wiped down our cabin with Clorox wipes, wore masks and felt safe. Keep in mind, you have your own cabin here so you’re not in a shared elevator, nor are you sharing ventilation like you would at a traditional hotel.
