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!

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!

great 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.

5 Stars!

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!

Amazing Property

I wish I could give this property and Sharon (the property manager) 10 stars! We stayed at this property for a family reunion for Fall Break. We had 24 people in our party. We had the best experience. Sharon was extremely helpful and organized. She emailed me right after I booked the property with helpful information. She was in contact with me the week before our arrival asking about beds, and other things we may need for our stay. Upon arrival, the property was SO clean. It was VERY well stocked with anything we would need for our stay. There is a huge pantry in the kitchen which we were able to put store all of the food we had brought. There were a couple of pull out couch beds that were all ready made up when we arrived. We didn't have to do anything!! The cabin is extremely well maintained and SO CLEAN!! There are plenty of towels and Sharon had even provided hot tub towels. The cabin is spacious. The kitchen and eating area has plenty of seating. The kids enjoyed watching a movie in the basement on the big screen. The bedrooms each have bathrooms. We had plenty of room to be together and still feel like we could have some personal space. The Ponderosa Resort was also fun to walk around. They have a playground, tennis courts, a big grassy field, and an activities center. I want to tell everyone who is looking for a fun, relaxing get away to head to Orderville. Rent this cabin. You will NOT be disappointed! Thanks Sharon for making our stay so great!!

Perfect Family Reunion

The house was perfect for our family reunion of 25 (10 adults 15 children). The house was clean, spacious, and in a perfect location. Some of the things we enjoyed: sitting on the beautiful wrap-around deck looking out at gorgeous views, watching a family movie downstairs on the projector, hiking out to observation point, swimming/zip-lining/playing mini golf at Zion Pondersosa. Everyone had a great time and the house was the centerpiece of it all. Thanks Sharon!

About the host

Hosted by Debra Schmidt

Hello from the Schmidt family! My husband, Steve, and our four sons enjoy hiking, bike riding, cooking family dinners, and being outdoors. We fell in love with Zion National Park many years ago. My favorite hike is Angel's Landing and my husband's favorite is the Narrows. After several family trips to Zion, we decided to look for a home. We fell in love with Zion Summit because of the amazing views, gourmet kitchen, and room for the whole family! We are delighted to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

With 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, a huge basement, two living rooms, and fully stocked kitchen our home is large enough to meet everyone's needs, yet small enough for game night and family dinners.

What makes this property unique

Our home is over an acre with amazing views. The master bathroom feels like a spa with a huge tub and separate walk-in shower. When Zion National Park is crowded, skip the shuttle and drive 5 minutes to 4 amazing hikes that overlook Zion National Park. Walk to Zion Ponderosa Resort and enjoy a variety of activities (some require a fee).
