Photos and Description of the Springdale - Zion National Park vacation house rental

Situated on 1.3 acres of land on top of a mesa in Apple Valley, Utah (4400 feet above sea level), the Gooseberry Mesa lodge is a private, comfortable and relaxing getaway with a view that will keep you coming back. The main house has 3 bedrooms and sleeps 6 comfortably, while the detached studio apartment above the garage has a king size bed to accommodate 2 more.

The main house includes a kitchen with stainless steel appliances including refrigerator, electric stove and oven, dishwasher, microwave oven, coffee maker, toaster, a complete set of pots and pans and dishes. There is a counter, bar with stools so your guests may watch you cook while they sit and chat and a large dinner table that sits 6-8. Eat dinner with family and friends while enjoying the view of the mountains. After dinner sit in the living area while watching television, or unwind in front of the fireplace during a cold winter night, or get together with your family and friends for a board game night. Or if you prefer to barbeque outdoors on the porch and later gather around a 'campfire' for some story telling and toast marshmallows instead.

The laundry closet stores a full washer and dryer. All three rooms in the main house have sliding doors that lead out to the enclosed garden where you can relax and watch the kids play in the little playhouse.

About Nik Rashid

We love to spend most of our 'free' time hiking, exploring and mountain biking. We frequently escape to our 'Utah' house with our two kids for peace and quiet, and to enjoy outdoor activities this area has to offer. We would love to share this experience with you too.

Nik Rashid purchased this house in 2011
Why Nik Rashid chose Springdale - Zion National Park

We fell in love with the panoramic view of Zion NP and surrounding mountains during the day, and at night the sky is an endless blanket of stars.

What makes this house unique

Having lived in big cities all our lives, my husband and I love the peace and quiet this house offers and it's closeness to many National Parks.

Gooseberry Mesa Lodge is a quiet, comfortable and relaxing getaway with panoramic views of Zion National Park, Gooseberry Mesa and the Smithsonian Butte. Far away from the crowd, you can watch wildlife from the porch, star gaze at night or build a fire and toast marshmallows with the kids.

This is a great location for family getaways and adventurers seeking a central base to explore the surrounding National Parks such as Zion, Bryce, North Rim of the Grand Canyon and Lake Powell, all within a day trip away. Many state parks and recreation areas are also close by. We are also within the immediate vicinity to world-class mountain biking trail systems such as Gooseberry Mesa, Little Creek Mesa and the JEM/Hurricane Rim Trails.

For the adventurous soul, head down the Smithsonian Butte Country Byway in your 4WD. Smithsonian Butte Back Country Byway is only 1.5 miles from the lodge and travels for 9 miles between Apple Valley on State Route 59 to Rockville on State Route 9. As the route winds down into the Valley of the Virgin River, you'll experience views of Zion Canyon, Canaan Mountain, the Vermillion Cliffs, and Zion National Park just four miles west. As you reach the highest points on the Byway, Zion's fiery landscaping, filled with buttes and temples, lays in panoramic glory at your feet.

The house was wonderful. Great location, clean and we loved the suite over the garage. There were 2 couples on this vacation and it gave us lots of privacy. Views were spectacular.

I can't speak more highly about this rental. Not only is it conveniently located to several trailheads, it has a wonderful layout, huge kitchen, and lots of outdoor furniture to enjoy the amazing views. But our two girls couldn't have cared a lick about any of that because the playhouse is amazing!! They were in heaven with stickers, a dollhouse and a play kitchen. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

We had a great weekend celebrating our mother's 70 birthday. The home is close to but off the beaten path, quiet, and very scenic. There was a playhouse in the secure backyard that the kids enjoyed and the adults didn't have to watch constantly. The home was clean and homey. My plans are to visit this home every spring with different family and friends if possible and visit the area.

Charming Home, Beautiful Area and Ideal for Off Road Experiences

5 of 5
Submitted: April 27, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
I really enjoyed my stay at Gooseberry Mesa Lodge. The home is very charming and located in a beautiful area. It is stocked with pretty much anything you would need...so it is a lot like having the comforts of home....but don't rely on having everything you need...pack as though you would for anywhere. It is out of the way of city life (but not too far), which I personally enjoy, because it is super quiet at night. My impression of the owners is that they are very personable, aim to please, and are quick to assist you if necessary. I explored Zion during my trip and enjoyed taking the route of the Smithsonian Back Country Byway. I took it three times although it took about the same time to take that route as the paved roads. I plan to return at some point to enjoy all the incredible off-road areas that I researched while I was there. I had three little girls with me who thoroughly enjoyed the princess house out back and it was so convenient to be able to close the gates of the courtyard so the little ones could not wander off in the unfamiliar territory surrounding the house. The only improvements I would suggest would be a television and wi-fi for the one bedroom studio across the driveway from the main house (as the wi-fi didn't make it from the main house), and instructions on how to use the televisions in the main house (as it took some figuring out). Thank you or everything!!!
