As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
There is nothing quite like southern Utah’s red rocks. Not only are the views incredible but the recreation opportunities are endless. From hiking and camping to spending time in multiple state parks, this area of the state is an outdoor lover’s paradise. And, there’s certainly no need to rush when visiting southern Utah — come and stay for a while. In fact, we know the best cabin rental in Kanab, Utah that’s perfect for setting up base camp. In fact, we consider it one of the best cabin rentals in Utah. See for yourself.
Just a short drive from incredible restaurants like Sego Restaurant and Rocking V Café, and near destinations like the Fredonia Recreation Area and Moqui Cave, is a dreamy cabin getaway with the most exquisite views.
And speaking of the views — WOW! This dreamy cabin features a large 60-foot deck where you can sit back and enjoy panoramic views of the red rocks and the Kanab area.
While you can easily spend all day relaxing and enjoying your time at the cabin, I suggest you spend some time exploring the area. Take a short drive to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, where you can hike or spend the day on an ATV.
If you want to venture out of the state, just across the Arizona and Utah border is the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Here, you’ll enjoy remarkable views and without the crowds found at other areas of this natural wonder.
I love a good lake day and less than 5 miles outside of downtown Kanab is Jackson Flat Reservoir. This is a beautiful place for paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. There’s also a trail around the reservoir if you want to explore a little.
It doesn’t matter what you choose to do and where you go, Kanab is a wonderful place for an adventure. It’s an outdoor getaway that is also home to one of the best cabin rentals in Utah.
