Move over Zion National Park—it’s Bryce Canyon’s time to shine.
Videos by TravelAwaits
This lesser-traveled landmark is one of the most iconic deserts in the world. Still, it receives fewer visitors than areas like Zion or the Grand Canyon, only hitting one-third of the total number of annual guests.
If you’re on the hunt for a rental that will put you close to Bryce Canyon without stranding you in the middle of nowhere, I’ve got suggestions.
Those looking for hotels or campgrounds have a handful of quality lodging options to choose from—but the best way to experience Bryce Canyon is at a private rental.
Want to explore a world of red rocks from a scenic roost? Here are the best Bryce Canyon rentals on Airbnb.
Best Bryce Canyon rentals
Top rental with access to other parks
If you want to bundle trips to Zion National Park, Lake Powell, and the Grand Staircase Monument, this rental is perfectly placed.
Its central location makes it easy to reach these sites without lengthy car rides. On top of its great location, the grounds also offer hiking trails. Just a few steps from the cottage, guests can start exploring.
The best part about this small-but-chic rental? It’s just as cheap as the budget option (listed below). The only catch is that it only sleeps two guests as a studio, making it ideal for couples.
Best for large groups
This grand cabin is the perfect choice for large groups as it comfortably sleeps ten guests in its four bedrooms. On top of that, it’s got an open floor plan that makes lounging for ten easy.
Aside from its spaciousness, I also love the rental’s rustic and charming design. Both let you get the most out of your trip with loved ones while soaking up the rural atmosphere.
Similar to the last rental, guests have immediate access to hiking and biking trails on the grounds, along with a pond for fishing and ATVs for riding. If you’re there during winter, you can even rent a snowmobile from nearby establishments.
Best for small groups
I adore this small and rural rental. The log cabin looks like it’s out of a picture book thanks to its iconic features, woodburning stove, and surrounding pine trees.
This option is ideal for small groups with its two bedrooms that sleep a total of six. Just keep in mind that one of those bedrooms is a loft with two king-sized beds.
There are also a few amenities that kids will love. The upstairs loft includes a large stuffed bear and a mini playroom, while the patio out back includes a barbecue grill that’s perfect for families who want to hang around outside.
Closest to Bryce Canyon National Park
Only thirty minutes to the heart of Bryce Canyon National Park, this rental puts you close to the action—while also letting you soak up the remote peace of southern Utah.
If proximity to the park is your focus, then this rental has everything you need, including a washer-dryer after a long day spent hiking.
With three bedrooms that sleep seven guests, you’ve also got room to stretch if you’re traveling in a group. With its open floor plan, this rental makes it relatively comfortable to hang around in the living room.
Best off-grid option (and best views)
I love an off-grid option—and they’re usually high-quality in the Southwest thanks to all that ample sunlight and solar power.
In other words, if you’re interested in staying at an off-grid rental, the region around Bryce Canyon is a great place to find them.
This new rental comes with 40 acres of private land to explore. It’s also at a high elevation of 5,700 feet, which gives you a near birds-eye view of the surrounding lands.
As a bonus, Kodachrome Park is close by—but the views might actually be better at this rental.
Best budget option
This rental is located two miles outside Kanab. Despite its very low price point, you’ll have everything you need for a great escape… and then some.
There’s a deep-soaking tub, an outdoor fire pit and grill, a chef’s kitchen, a washer-dryer, a cedar-lined sauna, and a massive deck with great views. (All for a budget price!)
While the interior is pretty standard, the two bedrooms are spacious and great for relaxing. Plus, the back patio offers a great view with more space for lounging. In other words, it’s a hardy setup for all your Bryce Canyon needs.
