Published Date: Nov, 3, 2024 Travel Date: Sep, 1, 2024 Rating: 4 Return visit after 10 years. Cabin across the road from main reception. Comfortable and scenic but rather pricey for what it was. Had dinner one night and the Bison Burger was well up to expectation. Breakfast one morning too but for the price charged the range of food seemed limited. Friendly and helpful staff, and the ranch dogs were very welcoming. A tip for the unwary: the ranch is on the "long side" of Zion NP so the journey into the park will involve a lengthy drive through the tunnel and the risk of very limited parking being available at the Springdale end.

I had the bison bolognese and my girlfriend had the trout. We both had the arugula beet salad All dishes were Excellent! To boot everything is farm to table grown right on the ranch
Really special property and location

Property is stunning and we really loved our cabin. We loved all the dogs, horses, goats, and chickens running around and catching the sunset over the peaks of the park every day. Restaurant was cozy and delicious. Such a dreamy place.
Wrong side of Zion

We were looking forward to our 3 night stay at Zion Mountain Ranch and having convenient access to Zion National Park and the amazing trails. We ended up leaving a day early as we were disappointed with the property and did not want to stay another night. As mentioned in other reviews (I should have read those before booking!), the entrance to Zion National Park is only a few miles from the ranch - but that is to the East entrance and you have a good 40-60 minute drive to reach the visitors center where the shuttles operate.
While we understood that staying in a cabin is somewhat "rustic", the furnishings were dated and worn, and could use a deep cleaning along with the entire cabin - especially the bathroom. On both mornings, there was a cluster of spiders in the tub. There was a coffee maker in the room along with sweeteners, cups, etc. but no coffee. I asked at the front desk and was told that they were having an issue with a supplier but I could get a cup in the restaurant (along with ice as there are no ice machines available to guests) when they opened at 7am. The first morning I did stop by to get a cup of coffee and had to wait 15 minutes to even get acknowledged by staff. This really puts you behind if you are trying to get to the park early.
The accommodations were not where they should be based on the price paid. I would not recommend Zion Mountain Ranch.
