The property/cabins are great. The staff was mostly really, really disinterested in the guests. They rarely even greeted us without us saying “Hi” first. The standout exception was the young brazilian lady at the ice cream shop whi was really friendly and helpful to all. Front desk, restaurant, pool, and outdoor shop couldn’t be bothered to even look up when people walked in. It’s sad, because it’s a great place, and it was if noone had ever trained them on customer service basics.

Nice stay for visiting Zion NP

Lots of activities on the ranch (horseback riding, swimming, supboarding etc.) and lay-out was great. However, some facilities were in need of some remodelling and the cleaning of bath-/restroom need more attention. Nonetheless, we really enjoyed our stay here and it is a great option for when you are planning to visit Zion NP.

Overall we had a great time! The Glamping tent was a little ran down. But the front check in told us as we checked in not an email prior to our arrival that open was was not allowed during this time per fire Marshall I asked how long had this been in effect she stated 2 wks. So we had purchased all this food, fire wood and etc just to be told as we checked in we couldn’t use our fire pit or bbq grill and it was propane only. Luckily I had brought a griddle for breakfast that we had to use to cook all our food. But no power source close to the outside of our tent. The power source was in the middle of our tent and the neighbors so while cooking we were half on their property. Tents are way too close I could hear our neighbors conversation while in our tent. No parking next to our tent but within close distance. It was very hot in the tent during the day but really cold at night. Front check in staff also didn’t give us much information as to when I heard someone else getting checked in they told them the schedule of what was going to be going on such as roasting marshmallows etc. minus the few cons we had our family had a great time and we really enjoyed ourselves and the amenities here. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Thank ponderosa ranch! All other staff was amazing and very helpful. Stargazing that they offer was well worth it and really amazing!

Overall all it was amazing. There was a slight smell, though, as the glamping tents we stayed in were near the water treatment for the grounds.

Very nice resort. Family friendly with so much to do, 2 swimming pools, miniature golf, kayaking in a large pond, rock wall, playground, gift shop, and several other activities. They also have East Zion Adventures on site. They have casual dining options and the food was very good. They offer numerous options for lodging at very reasonable price points. The sunset colors were stunning. Definitely would stay here again.

Amazing! Worth a longer stay

We regret not staying more than 1 night! We saw once we got there SO many activities on the property we just didnt get a chance to enjoy due to arriving late and leaving early but I could have stayed a week to reall enjoy all they had to offer. We had a cowboy suite which was amazing and there were no issues with any of the property or stay at all!
