An unbelievable launch pad or just-stay-around-home pad for your exploration of Southern Utah, Lake Powell, and the Grand Canyon. Amazing views of Zion National Park from the south, Smithsonian Butte and Gooseberry Mesa from the west. Take day trips to some of earth's most majestic sites or stay home and enjoy the giant playroom, private tennis court, or gorgeous views. There is easy access to vast federal lands from this unparalleled property.
The home was a good size for our group. The views are lovely. The tennis court and basketball hoops were used daily. It was a great place to come back to each day to relax after seeing the sites in the area

Made the best of it!
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this unique property. Unfortunately, the renovations being done were far from completed when we arrived. Instead of the 4 bedroom, 4 bath house we rented, we arrived to find a house with 1 master and 2 bunk bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and an inaccessible garage. It was Christmas, and we had multiple family units traveling from TX and Arkansas, so we stayed and made the best of it. While there was plenty of space with the huge, separate game room, not having the Queen bedroom and its adjoining bath was a definite inconvenience. (My 87 year old mother ended up on a bunk bed!)This misrepresentation of the available property was an unacceptable lapse in communication, esp because I asked about it one week prior! Timberroot did refund 25% of the nightly room rate. (They also offered to send construction/cleaning crews the day after we arrived, but we declined as it would have been even more disruptive to our vacation.)We loved the property grounds and made use of the outdoor decks, patio swings, fire pit, and lighted tennis court. So much love and care has been put into this property and we appreciated that- and the beautiful surroundings. The kitchen is very well equipped with even a rice cooker and an air fryer! (Note, no dishwasher, but not a bother for us.)It was great to have a large dining table where everyone could eat together and large living room where we could all sit comfortably. Great property, obviously disappointed, refund helped.

Secluded gem
Very secluded house with great views and ample space for large groups. The house was very clean and had great amenities - both that were and weren't fully highlighted on the listing. For example, the tennis court is a 10sec walk from the house, and rackets + balls were provided, the kitchen was well stocked with essentials (oil, spices, salt), and the views of the surrounding southern utah buttes and landscape were stunning and visible directly from the porch of the property.
The location of the property was perfect for us. Getting to Zion is quite easy, and took us ~45mins in the morning. We also went to Snow canyon state park ~1hr, Red Canyon Slot (peekaboo kanab) ~1:10 and coral pink sand dunes state park ~40mins. The driving is stunning as you are surrounded by the beautiful landscapes that make the drives go by in a flash.
Our only complaints would be that some of the items in the game room were not in great condition (pinball is broken for example). Additionally the bathroom nearest to the entryway to the house was in need of some structural TLC (peeling wallpaper, soft spots in linoleum) and the toilet made a very loud and annoying whining sound for several minutes after being flushed - I would recommend that the property management company get a plumber out to fix this issue in particular.
Overall staying in this property was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it for all manner of trips!

Great stay and location to Zion
We had a great stay at this comfy house. It was a good location for trips to Zion and Bryce, plus some local attractions such as Sand Hollow State Park. The views from the house were great, everything was comfortable. We had everything we needed. We loved hanging out on the swings after a day of hiking and our teen boys enjoyed the tennis court once it cooled down in the evening.

A lovely hideaway
Overall I and my family were completely excited to stay at this property! The house itself was aesthetically unique and so comfortable. The views were outstanding, and we loved playing tennis everyday!! The only drawbacks would be that the landscape maintenance had been overlooked for a long time and high weeds were everywhere. The jacuzzi tub in the bathroom only had cold water, at least while we were there, so we couldn’t use it. These two things however, would not keep me from reserving the home in the future, it was delightful to stay there!

Zion Trip
This was a nice home base for our week stay. We were able to cover parks and tours in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.
The house was a quiet retreat after long days of exploring. The private basketball/tennis court was an added bonus for our children. As well as the game room. Views are amazing!

Awesome Home & Panoramic Views
The property is massive and the home was perfect! Plenty of room for large families! 4 bathrooms was perfect for getting ready in the morning.
The views are amazing… no matter what direction you look there’s something beautiful to see.
The toiletries and Kleenex in each bathroom is nice. No need to bring shampoo and conditioner.
The game room is a bonus! And the covered patio area with hammock swings was perfect to take in the sunset.

Amazing family vacation
This property was our base camp for a family vacation. We visited Zion (about a 45 min drive) & Bryce Canyon (about 2 hours away) which were amazing and phenomenal. We also scheduled a tour of the Peek-a-boo slot canyons near Kanab which was worth the 45 minute drive in a different direction. We had a large group of grandparents, parents, and children between the ages of 10-17. This house helped us spend time together. The outside table was a great place for lunch- and fit all of us comfortably. The grassy area out front was a favorite spot for morning coffee, and the kids lived in the game room when we weren’t at one of southern Utah’s amazing national parks. And the views from pretty much every spot of the house were jaw dropping at every time of day. The kids said one of their favorite moments was lying on the driveway looking up at the stars one night. This was the perfect spot for our multi-generational family vacation.

Actual Zion View
Loved the big patio table and cozy living room. Lots of space and property feels very private. Feels like a lived in vacation home, but also very clean and comfortable.
Following up on the “lived in” aspect, the railing on the back patio is not very secure, and one of the bathroom doors attached to a bedroom only locks with a single tiny hook that latches onto a hole in the drywall.
If these repairs were made, would book again!

We enjoyed our stay. The drive to Zion is easy and it was nice to have a grocery store right on the way. Nice to have a quiet place after the crowds in Zion. Kids had fun. Best part was breakfast on the patio and coffee in the loungers.

What a View!
We stayed at The Smithsonian for six nights. Apple Valley is a great location to get away from it all but close enough to the major sights to travel to the various sights in the area.
The house was clean, wonderful, and spacious. We'd sit out back and enjoy the views of Zion, especially as the sun rose and set. We made a fire and had fun stargazing one evening too.
We would gladly return to The Smithsonian again should we have the opportunity to continue exploring Utah's beautiful countryside.

Great property, super quiet and private. Enjoyed the private tennis court with night lights and the amazing views. Great TV room set up. The Disney Plus and other paid subscriptions provided with the rental is a nice touch. Recommend the play room with pool table, foosball, air hockey and other games including an arcade style pinball machine. Property was clean and had everything needed for an extended stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house with amazing views
This house was so unique and was placed in a beautiful landscape of Utah. It was great for the group of friends who were traveling there to do the Narrows Top-Down! House was clean. We had some issues with the AC during our last night but we messaged Frank and he said he would have maintenance look into it. I would totally stay here again!

Comfortable house, wonderful views
We enjoyed our stay, sitting on the deck taking in the views of Zion and Smithsonian Butte. The kitchen, snug as described, had everything we needed and was easy to work in. The living spaces were well-furnished and great for relaxing. We picked up groceries in Hurricane before our arrival; it's a relatively short drive so it would have been easy to resupply if we'd needed to. Frank was very responsive to the questions we sent mid-stay.

Private, Cozy, Clean...Wonderful!
We recently stayed at Frank's place for a family trip to Zion National Park and other nearby sightseeing. At the end of our time there we were sorry to leave because we had enjoyed it so much. My husband and I stayed in the main house master and my mom was in the casita. They are in separate ends of the house so we each had our own space and privacy, but we could spend time together in the lovely living room and kitchen. We enjoyed making breakfast each morning and looking at the views while having coffee. The house is more than thoughtfully stocked which was great for fly-in guests like ourselves so we're not constantly running to the store for basics. The love Frank has for this home shines through and I would recommend staying here for any family group looking for a Zion vacation.
