Spectacular Family Reunion Location

This is our 2nd stay at Alton Lodge. We loved it last year so returned this year. In addition to the lodge with 9 bedrooms, (most with lofts & extra sleeping space) and bathrooms, there are 2 separate apartments on location which we also rented giving us 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. They don't skimp on things like paper towels and toilet paper. Tons of pots, pans, crockpot, cookie sheets, muffin pans, rice cooker instapot, etc. 2 large BBQ grills behind the lodge. It is very clean and the area is beautiful. Beds are very comfortable. We saw literally hundreds of deer on a short drive in the foothills. The only negative is the dishwasher didn't work, but knowing that in advance, we brought a ton of paper plates and enjoyed not having to wash dishes, just silverware. (They have a large dumptser for garbage.)The firepit was perfect and wood bundles were available at a small price - 5 a bundle. There are SO many activities at the lodge and countless more if you are want to hike or drive a short distance,We have been having a family reunion every summer at a large VRBO's for 35 years. It seriously is one of our favorite places. Totally a winner!
Kitchen has lots of room for prep, cooking and dining

We are a family of hikers so enjoyed staying between two national parks. After a long day of hiking and sight seeing everyone enjoyed the pool and ping pong tables. The kitchen was well equipped as we ate every meal together in the house.

Remote and relaxing

No central air conditioning, just 3 room units in a very large house, thus we were grateful for the cool (55°) nights. Alton is remote. Closest retail is miles away and very expensive. We purchased groceries in Kanab on the way in at reasonable prices. The family truly enjoyed the golf setup, grassy yard, fire pit and large, comfortable rooms.

WE LOVE IT!

We had a wonderful week at Alton Lodge. Plenty of room for our large family vacation with 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms in the main lodge. We also reserved the adjoining 2 apartments over the garage. Plenty of beds for everyone using the queen mattresses in the lofts. (We took our own sheets (which are not provided) to use on the loft queen size mattresses). We are very grateful the mattresses are provided for optional use. The area is absolutely beautiful, many deer and fun trails to explore. We had nightly volleyball games at the sand court on the property. S’mores at the fire pit was so fun! Having so many bathrooms (11 in total!!) was a big plus for a large family with children. The AC units provided adequate cooling and at night we just opened the windows to the cool night air. Orderville is 19 miles away and we found everything we needed at Terry’s Food & Drug (grocery store). The golfing was a plus on the property and several of our group went to Thunderbird Golf Course for a day out. Lots of places to sit for meals, comfortable living areas and lots of room indoor and out. We are hoping to book for next summer. One of our favorite places and locations. Comfortable beds and ample kitchen space for food and storage of refrigerated items. The ICE MACHINE was a marvelous surprise! Plenty of ice all week! We have been renting for family vacations like this for 30 years and this is the one we want to go back to again. Thank you to the Heaton family for sharing!

Family Vacation to visit Bryce/Zion National Parks

The house and apartments, above the garage, provided 11 bedrooms for my group of 26. Great gathering spaces in the LARGE home, but we felt secluded in the quiet neighborhood. Lots of outdoor space with a large patio and plenty of parking.

Lovely large home with more than enough room for our family of 17 to gather from Virginia, Oregon and Canada for a week. Located within and hour of Bryce and Zion. Lots if other neat hikes, caves and museums nearby. Very clean, well stocked, comfy beds and furniture. Two refrigerators, large freezer and ice machine. Owner open to suggestions for some needed repairs. Would definitely stay again.

Hot and stinky

We had a great family reunion on the property and found lots of fun activities nearby. The lodge is beautiful and spacious. The only drawbacks were we were there during the middle of July and the rooms were uncomfortably hot with minimal air conditioning. A mouse or squirrel must have died in the laundry room making that area disgustingly odiferous. More portable fans in the bedrooms may have helped.

Summer Bliss!!

This a wonderful home. The house was excellent for our large extended family. Our group had a variety of ages from 6 months to 68 years of age. The kitchen & dining spaces inside & out were lovely. The extra fridge & laundry were a huge help. We found the location to be excellent for hikes in Bryce Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Grand Canyon N Rim and Zion National Parks. Julie the owner was wonderful to work with and communicated with us on everything. We would definitely stay here and again and highly recommend it.
