BRYCE CANYON COUNTRY INN

Bryce Canyon Country Inn sits on the outskirts of Tropic, Utah, in a residential neighborhood that looks toward the back side of Bryce Canyon. The inn has six rooms in a remodeled residential home, with no nearby tourist center and no city noise. Guests see deer in adjoining fields, hummingbirds on garden feeders, and horses in the surrounding countryside.

Each of the six units has a queen or king bed. Rooms have a private outdoor seating area with chairs, a table, and an umbrella. Guests receive complimentary bottled water, snacks, and HooDoo lollipops.

The inn is 10 miles from the Bryce Canyon National Park entrance, a 15-to-20-minute drive. The owner can give directions for a trail leading from the inn up to Sunset Point in the park. Dark Ranger Telescope Tours is 1.9 km away, Pink Cliffs Village is 14 km away, Sunrise Point is 21 km away, Sunset Point is 25 km away, and Cedar City Regional Airport is 156 km from the property.

Check-in happens by email or text, and the inn has no on-site reception. Host Lynda responds to messages through the booking platform. Tropic's Stone Hearth Grill is about 3 minutes away, a downtown coffee shop is within walking distance, and restaurants and convenience stores are several blocks from the inn.

Guest reviews give the inn high ratings for room cleanliness, location with a view, and room comfort. A solo traveler rated the Queen Room with Garden View 9 out of 10, and several couples posted 10 out of 10 ratings.
