Beyond the property line are several places of interest, with one of the more significant draws to the area being Zion National Park.

Another unique aspect of the establishment is that they strive to recycle and be eco-friendly.

Located in a quiet neighborhood, and the orchard in the back yard was beautiful." The typical demographic of patrons tends to be couples between the age of 20 and 70 years old. Megan reports that the busiest months of operation tend to be May, September, and October.

The current owners implemented additional renovations in 2006 as well.
Megan and Bob explain that they had created several businesses in the past, but after some time, they decided to open the inn because they "are on the road to Zion National Park." Their favorite aspect of the job is meeting all of the people that come to visit. According to Megan, "There have been people from all over the world that have come to stay at the establishment."
