About this house rental
Perfectly placed for So. Utah adventure. 30 min to Zion, 1 hr to Bryce Canyon & Lake Powell, 90 min to Grand Canyon's north rim. Step out your door to the K-Hill trailhead, or walk to the city's park & pool. King beds in each bedroom, designer decor, and a fully appointed kitchen. Take in the towering red rock views or stargaze from the backyard. Unwind at your propane fire pit, grill up dinner on the BBQ & let your pup loose in the dog park right behind the house. 1-car garage with EV charger.
The Space:
Modern Desert blends clean, contemporary design with an unbeatable location just blocks from downtown Kanab. The home is set up for easy group living, with comfortable sleeping areas, a well-equipped kitchen, and inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces that make it simple to come together after a day of exploring — or spread out when you need quiet time. The home is newly updated with plush king sized beds in each bedroom, comfortable seating, a peaceful backyard to gather and enjoy the summer evenings, stargazing, or gathering 'round the fire pit. The backyard is fully fenced for your four-legged family member. There is also room to park your vehicle in the garage (complete with an EV charger) with extra room in the driveway (no street parking). * The EV charge is Tesla- Universal Wall Connector Level 2 Hardwired EV Charger.
Step outside and you're one block from the K-Hill trailhead and within walking distance of the Squaw Trail trailhead, so sunrise hikes don't require a car. The dog park sits directly behind the house, making it effortless to let your dog stretch its legs. In the evenings, gather around the propane fire pit or fire up the propane BBQ grill on the outdoor dining patio — it's the natural spot for the group to wind down and swap stories about the day's adventures.
Kanab itself is the gateway to some of the Southwest's most iconic landscapes: Zion National Park is a 30-minute drive, Bryce Canyon is about an hour, Lake Powell is an hour away, and the north rim of the Grand Canyon is roughly 90 minutes out. Closer to home, Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is just 15 minutes away, and the area is laced with hiking trails and slot canyons worth exploring.
Within walking distance you'll also find Jacob Hamblin City Park (playground, splash pad, and pavilions), the city pool with its lazy river and water slide, a skate park with pump track, basketball courts, little league baseball fields, and the public library. As part of the community, guests also have access to outdoor and indoor pools, a hot tub, and a pickleball court. A 1-car garage rounds out the practical amenities, giving you secure parking after a day on the road.
Whether you're basing here for a multi-park national parks tour or just want a comfortable, well-located home to come back to after a day in the desert, Modern Desert puts Kanab's best trails, parks, and recreation right at your doorstep.

The Neighborhood:
The La Estancia neighborhood is the finest in Kanab. Master-planned, it features a clubhouse with an indoor & seasonal outdoor pool, a park and pickleball court, and a dog park.
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; Best Friends Animal Sanctuary has great guided tours. Also consider the local restaurants, bakeries, and ice cream shops, within walking distance or a short drive.

La Estancia is just minutes away from the charming and historic Kanab center, with its award-winning restaurants and shops. Our guests can hike, bike and walk directly to everything the town has to offer. Hwy 89 is less than a mile away providing access to our world-renowned national parks and recreational areas surrounding Kanab.
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.
