“Our daughter Kennedy passed away at 16 yrs old from Terminal Juvenile Batten Disease. It was her greatest desire to share her love by hugging the World! She felt a need for every person to know how important they were. As a family, we have experienced the massive stresses that accompany a major trial. Through it all, our family was greatly supported by our community, friends, and family. So, we decided to carry on Kennedy's Legacy and give back! With every paid vacation stay, the Kennedy Hugs Foundation is able to select families who are struggling with disabilities, disease, loss, or hardship to stay at the Kennedy's Hugs Home for a much-needed expense paid Vacation. With your help, together we can spread some hope and happiness to others! “Please enjoy our home and we hope you feel love, joy, and adventure during your stay!” Love, The Hansen Family For more information about Kennedy's Story, view the Movie “Love, Kennedy” (available on Amazon Prime) If you desire to Donate, please go to kennedyshugs.com”

We had a great time at this townhouse. Clean and well maintained, great location, right across from the pool and pickleball courts. Great amenities, great communication and very friendly and quick to respond with any questions we had.

Really Nice Place
Easy to find, close to St. George, restaurants, shopping, hiking, great pool and Pickleball courts.
We stayed with our adult/teen children and it was so fun! The pool was very close and entertaining for everyone. The pickleball courts are convenient too. The home was clean and comfortable.
This property was perfect for our family while in the area visiting National Parks. It was very clean, well stocked and conveniently located near the pool and pickleball courts. We felt at home, had everything we needed and enjoyed the pool area. We highly recommend this property.
The place was great right across the street from the pool and pickle ball courts. The condo was clean and comfy the only thing is the carpets are looking worn and need some stretching but other than that we enjoyed our time there!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The property was clean and well maintained. The vacation property staff was very responsive to our questions without delay. The pool was excellent and located only a short walk away! The pool is great for all ages! I would highly recommend this property!
Loved our stay at Kennedy’s Hugs! Great location and amenities! Our kids loved loved the pool! Conveniently located and tons to do in surrounding area! The house was spacious and had everything we needed for a great stay. We will be back!
Lovely. Only issue was AC: very cold upstairs, and varied 1st floor, mostly ok.
We came for our son’s graduation. Great location. Iron man threw a wrench into getting to Zion , but we made it and witnessed the glory of Gods creation.
Vacation visiting national parks! This property is definitely as pictured! We very much enjoyed coming back to this home base. Very clean , roomy and comfortable. May seem like small thing but nice to park in garage and ease of unloading car & groceries. Area was close to stores and restaurants. Only about 45 minutes from Zion , which was convenient!
We really liked this place. It was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool area right across the street from our unit on the last night of our stay. The only small issue we had was with the area rug under the dining table — the edges were curled up such that we kept tripping on it. We moved the table out of the way so we could rotate the curled edge side towards the wall so we could no longer trip over it. Would definitely stay here again.
The beds were very comfortable! Middle unit with pool right across the street. Nice finishes. Ample linens and kitchen was completely furnished with pans, dishes etc. I would suggest it’s time to replace the scratched Teflon pans and clean the living room rug. I appreciate the vinyl flooring on main level for easy clean up. We felt very safe in this area. Lovely unit.
We loved our stay here! Perfect location, super close to the freeway (without feeling like you’re next to I-15) to get to our ball games! We loved being right across from the pickleball courts and pool- my kids could scope out an empty court form the front porch. We only wish the community had more courts! They were always busy! We loved riding scooters on the trails too. There was plenty of room for all of us- 4 adults and 4 kids. Loved having a washer and dryer to wash the baseball unis! The kitchen was huge and had plenty of storage. Beds were comfy and so nice to have all the extra blankets, pillows and bedding for extra beds. Would love to stay here again!

Fireplace did not work
Clean, comfortable, easy access once we were given correct address & code.
The internet did not work, the fireplace heat did not work
Our family really enjoyed this property. It sits across the street from pool/waterslide/lazy river and 2 hot tubs. The kids spent hours each day doing laps even though it was March and not all that warm! Parents watched from the comfort of the hot tub. Pools are clean and mostly3’6” and 4’ at the deepest, so pretty safe feeling if kiddos can swim. You can see the pickleball court from the window which is nice to not have to wait in line for an available court. The beds are soft and comfortable with TVs in each room. The kitchen could be a little better stocked, but had all general necessities. The gas stove was nice to cook on. As others have said, the carpet is showing wear and bunching a little in high traffic areas upstairs, but that was a non-issue for us. The neighborhood feels very nice and safe. We will definitely stay here again!
The host was excellent. Always answered our texts, everything was clean, and comfortable. Tons of pillows and blankets and towels (even pool towels)! There were floaties for the pool, pickleball equipment and the kids could just walk across the street to the pool. The community was quiet and everything was close by. We’ll be back!
We came with our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children ages 8 to 11. The home was beautiful and clean, very accessible to the freeway. The pool is excellent!
