Fodor's Expert Review Zion Mountain Ranch

This peaceful ranch-style resort with more than 50 handsomely furnished cabins and lodge-style vacation homes that sleep from 2 to 15 guests lies a mere 4 miles from the east entrance of Zion National Park and offers a variety of activities, including horseback riding, jeep tours, and guided hikes. Amenities vary a bit from cabin to cabin, but all have fireplaces, and many have kitchens and spacious sitting areas. The high-end restaurant, Cordwood, serves some of the tastiest food in the region. Note that Wi-Fi can be unreliable in some units, and although they have TVs, they have no reception and are only for watching DVDs, which you can borrow from the lobby.
