✔ Fully-stocked kitchen

OUR STORY:
The Zion Cabin was a true labor of love, with a lot of blood, sweat, and yes, many tears along the way helping to turn this traditional log cabin into an elevated, contemporary space steps away from the eastern border of Zion National Park.
My Mom and I fell in love with Zion after our first visit nearly a decade ago, and when the opportunity to call this place our own came up, we couldn't pass on it. When we first stumbled upon this little enclave of mountain homes in East Zion, we fell in love. And this property, in particular, was perfect—the architecture, its hilltop location overlooking the high desert to the south, its proximity to the east entrance of the park—it checked so many boxes. And the cabin itself? It was "fine." But it wasn't amazing. It was a little dated, and it felt like so many of other cabins we've seen throughout our visits to national parks over the years. We wanted to change it up and make it our own—a balance of old and new, vintage and restored.
So we got to work. I'll admit that we got in a little over our heads, and a project we estimated would take 4-5 months took over 18 to complete. And what a JOURNEY is was. But we're thrilled with how it all turned out and hope the sense of pride we have in this cabin will be evident to our guests as soon as they walk through the door.
Guest access
Guests are welcome to use the entire cabin, with the exception of the garage and a couple owner's closets where we store supplies.
Other things to note
The cabin is located in Zion Ridge, a private gated subdivision boarding Zion National Park to the East (you could technically walk right into the park from our subdivision). AirBnb has the location listed as Orderville, which is a little misleading if you aren't familiar with the area since the town of Orderville is actually a 20-25 minute drive further east from Zion. If you want to get a more accurate sense of our location, I'd recommend searching "S Zion Ridge Dr" in Maps.
Note: depending on which of the two Maps apps you're using, it'll list the street address as either Orderville, UT or Glendale, UT... both are the same thing and I'm honestly not sure why it does this.

From the host
The Zion Cabin is located in the Zion Ridge neighborhood boardering Zion National Park to the east. Considered the "Quiet Side of Zion," this location is a short 5-10 minute drive from the Park's East Entrance, and far less crowded/touristy than the Park's South Entrance in Springdale.
This location is minutes away from popular hikes including Observation Point Trailhead, East Rim Trailhead, Cable Mountain Trailhead, as well as the Top-Down Narrows hike (permitted).
East Zion is also the perfect launch pad to other popular nearby destinations, including Bryce Canyon National Park, Lake Powell, Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and more!
NOTE: The cabin is technically located in Mount Carmel, UT, just steps from Zion Ponderosa Ranch and the Zion National Park boundary, but for whatever reason, maps has the address listed as "Orderville," hence the location provided in the listing.
