We had a wonderful stay at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resorts, where we booked a tiny home. It looked just like the pictures, and we were very pleased with it. While the tiny home didn’t have a washer/dryer as advertised in the listing, there’s a convenient Laundromat located near the pool area. The on-site restaurant served delicious meals at reasonable prices, which we really appreciated. The staff was pleasant to talk to, easygoing, and very responsive, making our experience even better. There’s a variety of activities available to book, and some are included, adding to the overall fun. Our kids particularly loved the complimentary kayaking and having access to the pool. The location is fantastic, as Zion National Park is just around the corner, and Bryce Canyon is only about 90 minutes away. Overall, it was a memorable trip!

we unfortunately were only passing through, and did not spend much time at the resort; but i can say the staff were kind and professional, the cabin was clean and beautiful, and the beds were wonderful. we were 4 adults a child and 2 dogs - the price was incredible for fitting us all; AND it was 15 min from the park. i highly recommend!

We stayed in one of the glamping tents at Zion Ponderosa Ranch, and it was everything we hoped for — a perfect blend of nature and comfort. The tent was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with electricity, quality bedding, and even a heater, which made it feel like true glamping rather than roughing it. The entire property is beautifully laid out, quiet, and peaceful — exactly what you’d want for a stay near Zion. Everything was within walking distance, and the parking and transportation setup was seamless and well-organized. The staff was exceptional across the board, and the highlight of our stay was the Observation Point hike, which we accessed easily via the East Zion Adventures shuttle. No complaints at all. We’d absolutely return and recommend it to anyone looking to experience Zion without sacrificing comfort.

It did have a lot of amenities which we didn't end up using as we focused on exploring the park. The leg on the futon pullout couch was broken and they said would fix the next day but didn't. We used a rock to stabilize it. The bed was not comfortable (big dip in the middle). Half of the showers didn't have hot water.

This resort has so many things to do that you cannot get bored. It is the perfect place to come with children. Our cabin was clean and had plenty of space. The taco truck was delicious. We will be coming back to stay here again.
