Perfect base between Bryce and Zion!

Our group (three adults and three kids) was extremely comfortable staying here! It was the perfect central base for our Utah adventures. The hosts were very communicative and helpful.

A cozy place central to 3 wonderful places of nature’s beauty and human compassion.

Walking through the cabin door, this place grabs you with a welcoming embrace, from fireplace to soaring ceiling to comfy bedrooms each tucked away on its own floor. A spacious porch and fire-pit outside connect inside coziness with outside natural beauty. Well cared-for, this place is one of the best we have stayed in on our VRBO journey.

Centrally located lovely cabin

We really enjoyed this lovely and comfortable cabin. It is centrally located to both the Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon. The cabin was able to accommodate our family of 6 and we did not even use the bedroom in the basement. Bertha and Wayne did a great job of stocking the cabin with all needed amenities. Thanks a bunch.

Everything was wonderful!

We loved everything about our stay here! The house is beautiful and the location was perfect. We had a few questions here and there and our hosts, Bertha and Wayne, always responded within minutes. The house is very spacious with lovely views, but is also close to a main highway, perfectly located close to both Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. (Both parks are must-sees!) One of the best features of the house is that every bedroom has a full bathroom associated with it. There is an upstairs suite with a bedroom and bath, along with a lovely sitting area. The first floor bedroom is off the kitchen with a bathroom across a little hall. The third bedroom and bath is on the lower level. The kitchen is well appointed. We stayed 4 nights and cooked in each night. Groceries and restaurants are not that close but on the advice of our hosts we stopped before we came at a grocery on the way and had everything we needed. The entire house was impeccably clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. I’ve stayed in many VRBO properties and I would say that this house is absolutely one of the best. If we ever come back to this area I would rent this home again in a heartbeat! We loved it and so will you.

Perfect!

We stayed here for a week in August and would definitely recommend! The hosts are so thoughtful! The furniture was all comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked with all the little things to cover what you might have forgot at home! The house was super clean and had all the extra to use “just in case”; Such as extra book bags, coolers, blankets, towels chairs etc Utah heat can be intense- I only wish I had suggested that the younger adults take the master bedroom upstairs because it was hard to get cooled down😂

Sticks and Stones *Won't* Break Your Bones

We just spent a week at Sticks N Stones, a cozy cabin tucked away in a small neighborhood just off Highway 14. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel that you’re right at home. The bedrooms were quite comfy, and the kitchen was very well-stocked (it even had a colander), although you will need to bring your own corkscrew. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the porch while savoring the pleasant springtime weather. Our hosts were very welcoming and were always quick to respond to our questions. There’s a convenience store/gas station just around the corner, and Duck Creek Village offers a few restaurants and shops just 10 minutes away. It’s roughly equidistant from Zion’s east entrance and Bryce Canyon NP. A great location, we would happily stay there again.

Perfect Location!

We stayed at this property over thanksgiving week. 8 of us total, 4 kids and 4 adults. There were plenty of comfortable sleeping options for everyone. This cabin is also the perfect location to explore Bryce and Zion. I would recommend getting groceries before coming to the cabin. The closest grocery store we found was about 20 minutes away- it was small but had what we needed. We also really appreciated the pantry staples supplied at the cabin. It helped to know what was there beforehand too! Overall it’s a wonderful cabin and in the perfect location!

Perfect location between Zion and Bryce.

The cabin was excellent! It was great that there were some basic food and supply items in the refrigerator and pantry—The grocery is 30+ minutes away. We visited both Zion and Bryce Canyon. This location is situated in between both national parks. Although a little closer to Bryce. It’s not a completely remote location. There are houses on either side that are visible, and a highway nearby. . Overall great stay!!

perfect for Zion and Bryce trip

This property was perfect for our trip. We planned to see both Zion and Bryce so we needed a location convenient to both. The house was immaculate and very welcoming. It is situated equal distances from both Parks. I would recommend this property without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Bertha & Wayne Jardine

Host profile image
We work in the Las Vegas hospitality industry ~ and for years we rarely had time to take long vacations so instead we would settle for quick weekend trips. We didn't want to waste our precious time off, driving far or spending it at the airport, and so Southern Utah/Northern Arizona was the answer! We've thoroughly enjoyed our experiences visiting Zion, Bryce, Antelope Canyon, Lake Powell, Panguitch Lake, Brian Head, Grand Canyon and the numerous quaint towns we've encountered. The people are welcoming and the views are stunning, its a special place!

Why they chose this property

We choose this cabin, that we've named "Sticks-N-Stones" because of the mountain vibe (wood throughout, fire place, wood deck, views), but still offers all the amenities of home (TV, wifi, garage, etc.). We love coming out to escape our responsibilities, but still able to work remotely if needed or we can do a guilt free Netflix binge :) - but most importantly get to enjoy being outdoors! It also serves us well when we want to spend some quality time with our kids, friends, and family!
