When you picture the landscape of the West—dramatic, wide open, nothing but wild earth for an eternity—you might be envisioning Utah. In the wintertime, this is the state that’s home to towering, snow-drenched peaks in the Wasatch Mountains, in the northern part of the state, and some of the country’s most legendary powder skiing.
Southern Utah feels like an entirely different planet. You’ll get southwestern vibes with desert vistas dotted with red rock sandstone cliffs and sunsets that drip shades of orange and red. This is your launch pad for Zion National Park, Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Capitol Reef National Park and the Dixie National Forest.
No matter your preference—mountains or desert—one of these cabin rentals in Utah will make the perfect home base for an adventurous outdoor vacation. Our top picks are places where the welcome mat is rolled out for you and adventure lies just outside the door.
