Guests will have private access to their tiny house and the entire 16 acre property for walking or fishing on the Sevier River. There is also a community fire pit and wood is provided for fires.

Other things to note Keep in mind: Southern Utah is a remote RURAL area and restaurants are VERY limited especially on Sundays so the opportunity to cook in the tiny house is a benefit. Also, Wifi can be spotty but that is true for the entire area. You will have access to more information & maps in the motel lobby.

We stayed three nights while visiting Bryce, Red Canyon and the Dixie National Forest. The Bunkhouse is a perfect home base, close enough to it all but in a serene and peaceful setting. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable and we enjoyed the patio after a long day of hiking. It's clean, comfortable and well maintained. Holly was quick to respond to any questions we had and the managers that oversee the RV park were helpful and wonderful to visit with. We loved it and didn't want to leave!
We really loved the little house. We have stayed at so many VRBO but nothing like this. The house has everything you need plus many extras . But what we liked most was sitting out on the patio watching the sunset colors bounce onto the Mountain View . We also saw the sunrise right out front. We planned to go out to eat but with the views we ended up grilling steaks and fish both days . We also enjoyed a bonfire. We will definitely stay here again. Felt like Utah was all around us. Gorgeous!
This tiny house is absolutely adorable. The owners clearly took time to make it cute and comfortable. It's well stocked with necessities and some extras as well. The patio overlooking the red mountains is a great place to have a glass of wine at night. The proximity to Bryce Canyon is nice, too.

Beautiful small cabin
Larger space than described, and it does have air conditioning (window unit). On site contacts were extremely friendly and cabin has a beautiful interior. Community fire pit it immediately outside bedroom window but guests are quiet and window has shades so privacy is not a big issue. No doubt would recommend and return!
My fiance and I spent 2 nights in the Bunkhouse at Riverside Ranch. No complaints and would strongly recommend to others.
Property: The bunkhouse is a standalone building near the hotel part of the property. There is space to park right next to the unit. The bunkhouse is a small but comfortable space with amenities including a kitchenette (stocked with dishes, utensils, and cooking supplies), full-sized refrigerator, a large flat screen TV, two recliners, and air conditioning + fans. There is also a private patio with bistro lights, a private charcoal grill, two chairs, and a picnic table. The patio overlooks the RV park and beyond that the river and mountains. It's dark at night for stargazing (although we drove down the road to an empty field for even better viewing). Amenities were ample, including thoughtful items like spices and bug spray (helpful at night)
Location: Riverside Ranch is about 30 minutes away from Bryce Canyon, but directly en route coming from the south (i.e., LA, Vegas, St. George). There are closer properties but we didn't mind the drive and liked the privacy of the property and unit. There are limited amenities nearby, so this works best if you want to cook and stop en route for groceries.
Owners / hosts were very nice and helpful in our limited interaction. Strongly recommend to anyone looking for a similar experience!
