Had a very nice evening at Bybee’s Steppingstone Inn. The owner/operator was super friendly, providing us all the essential information we needed. The room was clean and comfortable and the grounds made you feel right at home. It’s a stone’s throw from Bryce Canyon so it’s a great option for those who don’t want to stay in Bryce Canyon City.

A very nice motel. Room is good for 2 people. Everything you need is inside the room like towels and toiletries. I did not expect a motel so clean, complete and quiet as this.

For a little town like Tropic, this property was amazing. Location right on the main road to Bryce and very near. Very clean and the amount of space was very efficiently utilized for conveniene. Given the limited dining options in the town, this property can consider adding breakfast service!

We liked the room an motel very much, but the bed ruined the whole excellent impression. The mattress was completely worn out and with every movement you felt like you were on a ship. We hope you will change it until we‘ll be back again. 😜
