Zion Ponderosa Home. Hike into Zion National Park

Luxurious 7 Bedroom, 8 Bathroom with Stunning Southern View. Sleeps a maximum of 26 people in beds.

Enjoy the privacy and magnificent views from our beautifully furnished 6000-square-foot home. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and TV. The huge gourmet kitchen features appliances for feeding and catering to large groups. Spectacular great room and second living room for family gatherings. Large, private master suite with fireplace, private balcony, walk-in shower, and luxurious bathtub. Three floors of furnished space allow guests to enjoy a group dynamic, or find privacy for reading and relaxing. Downstairs conference room, with a smart TV and tables and chairs which may be set up for large gatherings, business presentations, or a movie night!

Relax in the Jacuzzi as deer and turkey wander the property. Dine on the wrap-around balcony while enjoying the unobstructed view of the Zion wilderness. At night, watch the Milky Way galaxy and star gaze in the incredibly low light and quiet solitude of this mountain abode. Play ping pong or use the outdoor sand volleyball and tetherball courts.

This is the largest lot in the neighborhood and a short walk to Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort that features a restaurant, horseback riding, ATV’s, game room, zip line, excursions, and two seasonal pools, water slides, and spas. (Check with the resort for fees, which are subject to change.)

Bordering Zion National Park, you can walk to many local trails (slot canyons, creeks, and peaks). Take a short drive to the Zion East entrance, a 40-minute walk to the amazing Jolley Gulch, or hike out to Observation Point. This resort is centrally located with a 40-minute drive to Kanab, a 1.5-hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park, and 2 hours to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Have it all while enjoying the beauty of Southern Utah.

Great Vacation Home

We came for a family vacation to this lovely home and were thrilled by what we found. We had never been to a vacation home in the area and were pleasantly surprised by the quality offering we found. The place is clean, spacious and met all our expectations. Its proximity to Zions National park made it so we could enjoy that amazing place without "roughing it". The nearby Ponderosa also meant our kids had a blast with the zip lines and the pool, tennis, etc. Overall we had an amazing time and made some wonderful memories. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone looking for something near Zions or if you just want a beautiful home secluded in the beauty of nature. You'll have everything you need here.

45th college reunion

We were a group 24 people who held a class reunion in Zion national park from Sept 18 to Sept 23. We have rented this property for 14 people. It was an amazing place with great views and amenities. Debra was fantastic in meeting our needs and being available to address some last minute requests. The property is well equipped, and met all our expectations. It is a great location for family of different sizes to hold get togethers for events of all types. We would highly reccomend this place, and will definitely stay here in the future. Thans for everything Debra!

Great for family reunions

We loved staying here. There was plenty of room for our extended family. The kitchen was fully stocked with all we needed to prepare all our meals. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed the volleyball court right on the property. It was fun to be close to Ponderosa Ranch Resort where we enjoyed swimming, playing miniature golf and pickle ball. ( the drawback to that was the smell of the open sewer ponds) We loved how close it is to Zions and hiking trails. There was also a place that someone in our group took others repelling and those that went had an experience they will always remember. We made some fantastic memories there. Thanks so much!

GREAT house for large groups!

I have rented upwards of 30 houses through VRBO over the years and this is is by far the best we have ever stayed in. We rented this house for 6 nights for our first trip to Zion. We had 15 people ranging in age from 20 to 54 and the house was absolutely perfect! The house was VERY clean, the views great and the kitchen truly is a gourmet kitchen with every appliance you could hope for (Sharon even had a crock pot). The hot tub was enjoyed daily as was the ping pong table. Sharon was very easy to work with and went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely stay at this house again and have already told several people about it. Thanks Sharon for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Great Gathering Place

Purpose of our stay was to celebrate my 70th birthday and to hike Zion National Park. Our hosts, Debra and Steve were outstanding! They provided responses to various questions very quickly.There were trails into the Park in close proximity to the property The main entrance to the Park was about 20-30 minutes drive.House was spacious with plenty of room to hang out, whether it be inside or out on the deck. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans, plates, glasses, etc. The dining area was also very accommodating for the group. There was generous quantities of dish soap, paper towels, laundry soap, hand soap In addition, there were two refigerators to hold ample food for the group. After long days of strenuous hikes, the hot tub was a welcome sight! Towels were supplied for it also. Beds were comfortable and plenty of bathroom towels and TP were supplied for each bedroom/bath.Both Check- in and Check-out was very well explained and easy. Deck could have used more than one rocking chair, and some lounge chairs would have been nice. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay tremendously!

Wonderful Family Getaway Place

We absolutely loved the property. The location is great, there are some great activities for the family on the site of the resort (pool, mini-golf, tennis, field for various games, climbing wall, etc.), but the house was even better! Beautiful, large, very comfortable, very well appointed, has everything needed for a family get together with a bunch of adult children and their spouses. Highly recommended!

Family vacation to Zion and Bryce

We truly enjoyed our stay at Debra’s property. A week before the trip, Debra reached out and made sure we have all the info we needed for check in. The communication process with her was simple and smooth. Debra was available via text, phone and emails; she responded to all my inquiries and questions promptly. Once we arrived at the property, we were so impressed with the location and the condition of the home. The house is clean and spacious. We had 4 families with 8 adults and 6 kids ranging from 2 to 12. Not even once did we feel tight with space during the entire trip. The kids had plenty of room to play outside and inside, while parents relaxed indoor after our visits to Zion and Bryce national parks. The location of the property is central to both Zion and Bryce national parks which was an added plus for us. We were also impressed that the kitchen is fully stocked with all the supplies we needed to cook. All we had to do was bringing the grocery and we were ready to cook and bbq. We had an awesome time at Debra’s property and would definitely make it our go to place when we go back. I would definitely recommend her property to other families who are looking to spend time at Zion and Bryce.

Wonderful stay outside of Zion!

Just returned from a fabulous trip to southern Utah-we were a family of 18, ranging from ages 10-76. House definitely suited our needs as everyone had plenty of room to spread out, kitchen was more than adequate to prepare daily meals. My tip is to buy lots of groceries before you head to the house!

House was well laid out for a large group. Kitchen was well stocked. Owners were very responsive and take great care of the place. They had the garage door open for us when we arrived. They even gave us a stick of butter for baking. Amazing views from the living room. Very close to great hiking in Zion. 12 minutes if you have a 4 wheel drive. 25 minutes to great hiking spots on highway 9.

What a wonderful experience for our family! This property is as good as advertised . . . No, better than advertised! 5 Stars all the way around! With all the COVID stuff going on, our family of 30 cautiously decided to follow through with our annual family vacation and we're certainly glad we did. This property was spotless, had ample room for family activities and the kitchen was very well supplied with pots/pans/eating utensils, etc.; the property manager was in-touch and available to answer questions and offer suggestions. And the surrounding parks and canyons provided spectacular day hikes and plenty of room for social distancing! Highly recommend!
