Plop down on the moss green sofa and make a cup of Earl Grey with the kitchen’s kettle, kick back in loungers on the private patio beneath a wooden shade structure, or enjoy a hot shower in the robin’s egg blue bathroom.

Though each of Zion Mountain Ranch’s luxurious cabins and updated lodge-style homes are truly unique and full of rustic, Wild West decor, we fell in love with The Rim Cabin, which is the most secluded of their smaller homes and perfect for couples. The 1,000-square-foot bungalow is set at the edge of Meadow Creek Canyon and boasts a large deck with panoramic views. Vintage-inspired fixtures and a separate soaking tub and shower combine to give the bathroom a luxe, antique flair, while the wood-burning fireplace and adjacent farm-to-table restaurant, Cordwood, will transport you back to Utah’s cowboy days.

Enjoy on-site dining, made from locally curated ingredients, and complimentary camp activities like yoga, sing-alongs, and roasting s’mores over an open firepit.

If night sky gazing (or watching the sunrise in bed) is your thing, you’ll flip for Open Sky’s ceiling windows, which make it possible to brush up on your astronomy from the comfort of your covers. Though all three of their glamping tents feature plush bedding, private decks, and epic views, we love the Star Seeker for its oversized clawfoot copper bathtub, private telescope viewing platform, swing lounger, and enclosed outdoor rain shower.
