Our new home has 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, each one is like its own master suite. Take a soak in our hot tub or enjoy the night sky around the firepit. Enjoy the 14 foot bi-folding patio door that oversees the gorgeous mountain ranges in Kanab. Get much needed rest on our high-quality mattresses. High speed internet is included with your stay making it the perfect place for remote work. The kitchen is fully equipped to cook anything. The outdoor space is unmatched with a playground, corn hole, firepit, hot tub and outdoor table. This cozy house was named after the desert tortoise found in Southern Utah.

There are also plenty of hikes located in and around Kanab, including the world famous “The Wave” hike. Our favorite is the Moqui Cave hike.

We loved our time at this house. It was extremely comfortable for our family of five and was well stocked with everything we needed. Super convenient location to go to Zion and downtown Kanab. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful place with lots of room and well maintained. This place was perfect for our group with two Kings and 3 bathrooms. Very clean and close to shopping in the town of Kanab. Great hosts that were concerned about making our stay as pleasant as possible. Thanks!
Clean, comfortable, perfect location for all of Kanab's adventure spots.
Our family especially appreciated the hotbtub and backyard toys. The beds and furniture are nice and perfect for lounging after a day of adventure.
This home was the perfect base camp for our week of adventures in the area. Both our families loved it. We would highly recommend. It was one of the nicest/ cleanest homes we have rented.
Overall our stay was great! A Clean home. And my youngest loved the hot tub and playground. I would say the location of the home with parking was a struggle when you have two trailers with three UTV's and a quad. However we loved the convivence of the 35 min drive to the dunes. Would stay again, without our toys.
This was the absolute PERFECT homebase for us on our trip. We planned to go to Zion and Bryce Canyon for my birthday and this place had everything we needed and then some. The location and proximity to the parks and the surrounding area was perfect. The house was super clean, easy to access, and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfy, the showers were clean and well stocked. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit at night when relaxing and winding down. This was an adults trip, but we could definitely see how accommodating it was for families as well. We will definitely be coming back!
We had a wonderful time in Kanab. This house was beautiful. It was very organized. The beds were comfortable. We loved the hot tub, fire pit, playground- and especially the doors that open up all the way in the family room. While here we visited Zion, Bryce, PeekABoo slot canyon and many trails in the area.
This house was very clean and well appointed. I was able to reach the owner right away when we had an issue. It has a great layout with 3 beds and 3 baths. We enjoyed the hot tub. Kanab is a nice little town and a great location equal distance from several National Parks.
Well appointed kitchen and bath. Can't forget the great beds and perfect backyard. Grill was clean and ready to go. Located in a great neighborhood. Town has everything you need as a basecamp for all the surrounding areas. To much to list, like new, book it!
Our family (2 adult children with their significant others stayed) stayed here and had the best vacation. We did north rim Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. The house was perfect location to them all within and hour to hour and a half driveway to trailhead. The beds were so comfortable and the hot tub was amazing after our hikes. The fire pit was enjoyed, everything was spotless. We would stay here again without questions
We stayed for the week, and the property is amazing. Easy to find, super accessible (zero steps, if that matters for your party), quiet neighborhood, had everything we needed. The hot tub was great - even for the kids, and having the playground there made everything so easy. The kids loved being able to play while we ate dinner. Bring shoes they can slip on easily, because the playground is on rocks. We would 100% stay here again. It was clean and had plenty of towels. There wasn’t any detergent when we arrived, so just pick some up on your way in town.
What a gem! We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home and loved it! It had everything we would have hoped for including activities for the family and kiddos. It was a great location and beautifully decorated and setup. The host was super kind and easy to communicate with. 10/10 would recommend and would definitely stay here again.
What a wonderful home to make base camp for visiting the National Parks in southern Utah. King size beds and ensuites made this a perfect choice. Even was able to have a family Cornhole match! Top notch home!
House is very well appointed. Everything works well and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay. Its location is central to all the parks we wanted to visit. Beds are super comfy. You will not be disappointed!
I have stayed at a lot of VRBOs over the years but this was by far the best managed. I was highly impressed with how this place had everything I needed/wanted. Everything from plastic utensils for the toddler to excellent guides/descriptions of good hikes! This place itself is lovely with great views, and the location is very convenient.
We rented this beautiful, well-maintained & well-stocked home for our family’s vacation. We visited Zion, Bryce Canyon, the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and hiked several trails around Kanab. Great town, excellent food, easy access for many outdoor adventures. The home accommodation exceeded our expectations! Comfortable beds, wonderful kitchen, nice patio & beautiful views! Would highly recommend staying here on your next visit to Kanab!
The Blue Tortoise was an amazing experience! Super clean and organized. It had everything we needed and was conveniently located to everything we wanted to do. Kanab also had plenty of adventures nearby if we didn’t feel like driving the hour or so to other trails.
This house is super inviting! The backyard was great for the kids and we enjoyed the outside sitting areas! The house is close to the city center and it was very easy to get to all of the hikes around the area! Chanell was a great host and was very prompt to answer any of our questions! We highly recommend this property!
