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.

Gooseberry Getaway

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 17, 2013
  • Stayed: Jun 2013
Gooseberry Mesa Lodge is a wonderfully comfortable place to stay while visiting southern Utah. It's very clean and has all the amenities you could need for a rustic getaway. It's also close to Zion National Park (40 min drive) and affords some beautiful views of Smithsonian Butte right out the back door. We chose the lodge because we wanted an alternative to staying in a hotel surrounded by the many tourists visiting the park. We enjoy being independent and having the option of cooking for ourselves and brought our two well behaved dogs. It was a good choice because the park was jammed with people and it was nice to come back to a peaceful home. We were able to enjoy Gooseberry Mesa simply by walking out the front door. You can literally walk for hours which is what we did. The pups loved it too. Lot's of wildlife although you do have to keep them on a leash for their own protection because there are wild creatures everywhere. It's wide open and expansive. And you have to keep your eyes open for snakes and large scorpions, but that's the whole point of being in nature. The surrounding area is quite beautiful but the best part was sunset and waiting for the stars to emerge. It's quite a show. Nik was incredibly responsive to all request and was very professional- a real pleasure. She returned calls quickly and made some great hiking suggestions. I highly recommend a visit to Gooseberry Mesa Lodge.

Comfortable, clean house with well-stocked open kitchen. We loved the views and the fire pit most of all! Our party of 7 spent 4 nights hiking and exploring the area. Great place to visit, play games, cook big meals and unwind. Studio space gave one couple their own private retreat. Have worked with many VRBO owners and these two are very easy, attentive and prompt.

Our One Week Stay

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Jun 13, 2013
  • Stayed: May 2013
Our party of four loved our stay here. The only negative is that we were gone so much everyday to really enjoy the place. The view of Zion was amazing and it was worthwhile to get up early in morning to see the sunrise landscape (it's what we came here for). The evening sunset was just as spectacular. Location, location, location! That is why we chose this place and we were not disappointed. The drive to Zion on the highway was a bit longer than we expected (50 minutes?), but the solitude of this property made it worth the drive. Also, we had an SUV (definite must do) which allowed us to take the shortcut (35-40 min.?) on the Smithsonian Butte Scenic Byway to Zion which was one of the highlights we experienced more times than the highway. It was definitely worth it to have a vehicle that could take us on this somewhat rough road because the payoff was big! The Scenic Byway made it all worthwhile; The Highway would have been tedious. We took the time to go the La Verkin Overlook. It is an amazing 360 degree view. I mentioned to a grocery store clerk that we were going there and she said that she was surprised that this was in a guide book because they just take the La Verkin school kids there, but coming from the Pacific Northwest, I thought it was magnificent. Summary: The location was the absolute best, the house was more than comfortable and had everything we needed, and the owners were great to deal with and responded to all of our inquiries. I hope to have another stay at this house.

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.
