Kanab Family Retreat with Theater & Hot Tub!

Summary:
Our amazing home is set in a quiet neighborhood and has plenty of room for your family, corporate retreat, or gathering of friends. With a theater and a hot tub, among other amenities, you're sure to have an entertaining time when you stay at Gathering Place in Kanab, the perfect starting point for all of your southern Utah adventures!

The Space:
In this house there are 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms for you to enjoy! Each bedroom pays homage to our area, with themed rooms specific to different national parks and recreation areas. We hope to inspire you to visit these fantastic places. Our home is decorated in a modern Southwest style, perfect for hosting special gatherings.

Downstairs Bedrooms- Bryce room with 2 double beds and ensuite bathroom. Grand Canyon room with King bed. The Wave room with a King bed. Zion room with a King bed.

In addition to an abundance of bedrooms, you'll find a spacious living room with plenty of comfortable furniture to relax on and enjoy the large screen Smart TV.

The kitchen has everything you need to prepare your favorite meals and there's a beautiful wood dining table with ample seating. Equipped with a blender, toaster, baking dish, cookie sheet, pots, pans, griddle, stock pot, tupperware, bread maker, and bread pan.

Watch your favorite movies in theater room downstairs, where you'll also find a kitchenette.

There's a laundry room so you don't have to travel with dirty clothes.

The outside area boasts a wonderful hot tub where you can unwind after the day's adventures. There's a balcony with a cozy firepit you can gather around and take in the amazing views. Don't forget to plan at least one BBQ and cook on the outdoor grill!

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the main home.

The Neighborhood:
Located close to Highway 89, but far enough away that the neighborhood is peaceful. It's set on a wide street and there is very little traffic that passes by. The neighborhood is wrapped in red cliffs, and neighbors are quiet and friendly. There are empty lots on either side of the home as well as behind it, so there is a nice feeling of seclusion. With a large circular driveway in front and rock path on the side of the home, as well as street parking, there's ample space for vehicles.

There's plenty to do with state and national parks nearby, but if you're looking for something more low-key for a day or two, consider the local hikes featured on the flyers in our house book: Squaw, Bunting and K-hill, all offering wonderful views. As well, Jacob Hamblin park has a playground, field, pool with slides, splash pad, and tennis/pickleball courts; Kanab City Library is nearby and often has books for sale; Ranchos Park has great baseball fields; Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has great guided tours (they welcome donations). Also consider the local restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream shops. We love some of the local tour companies; they can make your travel time far more productive and enjoyable. Many of them even offer early morning pick-ups from Kanab.

Equestrian and biking trails are also available.

Getting Around:
This home has convenient access to Hwy 89A/89 which takes you to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, Zion and Bryce National Parks, Lake Powell, as well as the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Here in southern Utah a vehicle is required to get around in town and beyond. We recommend a 4WD vehicle with high clearance if you intend to go off-road to out of the way places.

Page, AZ airport is 1 hour away; St. George, UT airport is 1.5 hours away; Las Vegas airport is 3 hours away.

Close to everything

Nice, big home. Didn’t require us to do the cleaning crew’s job upon checkout (we still tried to not leave a mess for them, but it wasn’t asked of us like most others do.)it was close to everything we wanted to do while in Kanab.

Wonderful home in Kanab

We stayed in this home with our entire family, 3 generations. The home is beautiful, large and spacious. Our hosts were in contact with us throughout our stay, they even helped us plan events and trips in the area. Kanab is a hidden gem and we get the feeling the management love and are proud the area.

What a great property!

This property was even better than it looked in the listing! It was comfortable, clean and very well appointed. We loved the bunk room! The grandkids had a ton of fun sleeping in there! The location was convenient, quiet and close to everything. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location in beautiful area

This property worked great for our family. We had 10 adults and 11 children with age ranging from 2 months to 17 years. Nice large area to gather for meals, games and conversations but good areas to isolate as well. Plenty of bathrooms and we never ran out of hot water! We had a couple of issues with knowing how to run the entertainment system and needing a iron and the host was responsive and helped us solve both issues promptly. Would definitely recommend.

Great place for a group

We had a great time here! Fit 26 of us great with the bunk room. Communication was very easy and they responded quickly by email or phone call. Two fridges to hold lots of food for a group. Everything looked nice and worked and no issues. Would recommend for a group! There is no grass, just rocks for the backyard so don't plan to do lawn games

Perfect launching pad for all the National parks

We had a group of 15 comfortably crash here every night after hitting a different national park or tribal park. We were so close to variety of parks. And were able to hit 4 during our 4 night stay. We truly loved staying in kanab and the accommodations made the jam packed agenda possible. The house was clean, beds very comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. The property manager was great. They immediately answered all my questions and promptly responded and remedied our problem of over overflowing trash cans.

Perfect for us!

We were a group of 11 friends coming to explore the local parks and canyons and the house was perfect for us. Lots of space, gorgeous setting and just a few minutes to town. We also used Kanab Tour Co for some of our outings and highly recommend!! The whole group was very happy with the experience.

The Gathering Place

We recently spent a week at the Gathering Place as our “home base” while we visited multiple National Parks. Overall, we had a great experience. The property was better than anticipated and met all our needs! I wholeheartedly recommend this VRBO if you and your family are looking for a place to stay while exploring out west. Kanab is centrally located and the scenery-even at the VRBO-did not disappoint. The host was receptive and answered questions quickly! I would not hesitate to stay here again! Thanks for the wonderful memories!!

Perfect spot for family vacation

We had a great time in Kanab on a big family trip and everyone was impressed with this house. Great location. Lots of parking out front in the big driveway. New washer / dryer. The kitchen was fully stocked, the rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, and there are 5 bathrooms, big plus. The house has a tankless water heater which means people could shower in different bathrooms at the same time without the hot water running out....SO NICE! The host was responsive and check in was easy with a keypad on the door, didn't have to interact with anyone. The only feedback is that the hot tub needs cleaning solution, it didn't smell great so we didn't end up using it at all.

Great launching point for a group to check out southern Utah

This house was awesome for our group of 6. We were able to each have our own bedroom, and the common spaces were great for gathering together. The kitchen was very well stocked with many options of cookware and numerous spices, etc. provided (including coffee, which was a very pleasant surprise). There was also a gas grill which we used for several times for dinners. The living room is great for hanging out, and there's a theatre room as well for enjoying a movie or show. The hot tub was also great for relaxing after our hikes. We stayed for 4 nights with Zion, Grand Staircase and Coyote Buttes all within a short drive. The only thing to be aware of is that there is currently a house under construction next door, and the work did start early (730ish) on the weekday mornings. Overall, all things considered, I would stay at this house again in a minute.....it is an awesome place, the owners are incredibly responsive to questions and requests, and the location can't be beat.
