Canyon Ridge Retreat| hot tub, mins from Zion

Welcome to Canyon Ridge Retreat, a luxurious 3,500 sq ft haven nestled in the exclusive Zion Ridge gated community. Just minutes from Zion National Park's east entrance, this 4-bedroom oasis offers unparalleled access to nature's wonders. Perfectly positioned for adventure, you're 1.5 hours from Bryce Canyon's hoodoos and 2.5 hours from the Grand Canyon's North Rim. But the real magic? Step into your backyard and onto the Checkerboard Rim Trail for an instant immersion in Utah's breathtaking forested landscape. After a day of exploration, unwind in your private hot tub under a canopy of stars, surrounded by the tranquility of the pine-scented woods. As you step into Canyon Ridge Retreat, the grandeur of the vaulted ceilings in the living room immediately draws your eye upward, creating a sense of spaciousness that mirrors the vast Utah skies visible through the towering pines outside. Sink into the large, comfortable sectional with reclining features - the perfect spot for losing yourself in a good book or simply gazing out at the stunning forest views through the large windows. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the gourmet kitchen. Gleaming granite countertops stretch out before you, inviting culinary creativity. The high-end Wolf appliances stand ready to assist in preparing everything from quick trail snacks to elaborate family feasts. The large island isn't just for food prep – it's a gathering spot, perfect for sipping morning coffee or enjoying appetizers while dinner sizzles on the BBQ just outside on the wrap-around deck. Speaking of the deck, it's an extension of your living space. Covered areas provide shade for outdoor dining or relaxation, while open sections let you bask in the dappled sunlight filtering through the forest canopy. Don't be surprised to spot local wildlife – deer and wild turkeys are frequent visitors, adding to the sense that you're truly immersed in nature. When it's time to retire, four well-appointed bedrooms await. The upstairs primary suite is a retreat within a retreat, featuring a private balcony for stargazing through the pine boughs and a jetted tub to soothe tired muscles after a day of hiking. The second upstairs bedroom offers two queen beds, perfect for kids or friends sharing. Downstairs, you'll find two more bedrooms, each boasting a king-size bed for ultimate comfort. For additional sleeping space, the loft area features a pull-out sofa, offering flexibility for larger groups. But the luxury doesn't stop there. A brand new hot tub beckons, promising relaxation as you soak under the stars, perhaps planning your next day's adventure while listening to the gentle rustling of leaves in the evening breeze. Every detail of Canyon Ridge Retreat has been thoughtfully designed to provide the perfect blend of luxury and comfort, all while keeping you connected to the natural beauty that surrounds you.
