About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Fortress

The Fortress is designed for comfort and relaxation, with plenty of natural light and stunning views of the red mountains from the private deck. You’ll love unwinding in the spacious living room, featuring an 80-inch smart TV for movie nights and an electric reclining couch that’s so comfortable, it feels like you’re floating on a cloud.

The bedroom is your personal retreat with a KING-size bed piled high with soft pillows to ensure a restful night’s sleep. The bathroom is a standout feature, offering custom tile work, dual shower heads, including a luxurious rainfall shower head, and stylish finishes that make it feel like your own private spa.

If you need extra sleeping space, just let us know—we’ve got a twin rollaway bed and a queen air mattress available.

One of the best parts of The Fortress is its location right across from Canyon Park. Take a leisurely stroll on the paved trail that runs along Coal Creek, surrounded by majestic red mountains. It’s the perfect way to start your day or wind down in the evening.

And to make your stay even more convenient, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—a rare perk that’s especially handy during winter months or when coming back from a day of exploring. Park comfortably and keep your vehicle safe from the elements!

Guest Access
During your stay, the whole place is yours to enjoy! Relax in the living area, cook up a meal in the fully stocked kitchen, and rest easy in the comfortable bedroom. Plus, you’ll have full access to the two-car garage—perfect for secure parking and keeping your vehicle snow-free during the winter months.

Shared Spaces
Just a quick heads up—the backyard is shared with our other unit, The Zen Den, located right in front of The Fortress. You might run into other guests (or their friendly pups) while enjoying the fully fenced yard. It’s a great spot for some dog-friendly fun—just be sure to clean up after them.

As you’re going through the reservation, please make sure you’ve selected the correct number of guests and pets so the platform can calculate everything properly. If anything looks off or you run into any issues, just shoot me a message and I’m happy to help. Want to make sure everything’s smooth and easy for you with no surprises after booking.

Local Eats & Treats
You’re surrounded by some of Cedar City’s best spots to eat and drink!

Grind Coffee House: Start your day with a creamy latte or bold espresso.

Centro Woodfired Pizzeria: Craving pizza? This place offers delicious, handmade pies in a cozy setting.

IG Winery: Unwind with a glass of locally crafted wine in a relaxed atmosphere.

Don Miguel’s Authentic Mexican Food: Enjoy tasty dishes like sizzling fajitas and hearty enchiladas.

Lin’s Market: Just around the corner for all your grocery needs.

Whether you’re grabbing a bite, stocking up on essentials, or enjoying a night out, you’re never far from something great!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom.

Great place to stay! Garage was a nice extra but the Ming size bed was very comfortable, the couch wasn’t bad, the TV was great and the host was very responsive to any questions, issues or needs! Location to downtown was well within walking distance so we didn’t have to deal with traffic while attending the Christmas Festival. Highly recommend this place and this host - both rate 5 stars from us!

This was the perfect stay for me and my family. We came to Utah for a ski trip and it had everything we needed. It was close to restaurants and markets, they had a fenced area for our dogs to run around. The stay was very cozy and it was equipped with every thing we needed.
