Nature-focused ranch retreat with an on-site buffalo preserve near Zion National Park
The Ranch & Buffalo Preserve
Zion Mountain Ranch sits on a secluded mountain meadow with a roaming herd of buffalo on the property. The ranch operates a working buffalo preserve where guests can observe the animals grazing in the meadows directly from their cabins. A dedicated greenhouse and garden supply fresh ingredients to the on-site restaurant, reinforcing the ranch's commitment to local food sourcing.
Lodging & Cabins
The ranch offers a range of premium lodges from rustic log cabins to luxury suites, each with western décor and a seating area with a fireplace. Select cabins include private outdoor hot tubs and views of the buffalo herds and meadows, while others feature clawfoot soaking tubs for relaxation after a day of hiking. The property also accommodates large families with spacious cabins that sleep up to 16 guests.
Dining at Cordwood
Cordwood Restaurant serves organic cuisine daily, sourcing ingredients from the ranch's own greenhouse and garden. The dinner menu has included bison ribeye, fresh trout, and bison chili, with a French-trained chef changing the menu nightly. Breakfast is offered as a buffet featuring eggs, potatoes, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and smoked salmon.
Outdoor Activities
Guided horseback riding excursions for all skill levels take guests across the ranch's hundreds of acres of open fields. The property also organizes community campfire events and stargazing sessions, with a fire pit available each evening. Hiking and biking trails are accessible directly from the ranch, and the east entrance of Zion National Park is a five-minute drive away.
Family & Pet-Friendly Features
Children can interact with the ranch's farm animals, including horses, Shetland ponies, chickens, and ducklings, with feeding opportunities available. Dogs are welcome in designated pet-friendly cabins, though the property's Great Pyrenees working dogs roam the grounds and guests are advised to keep their pets away from the main building. The ranch also offers live entertainment and events such as Native American storytelling around the fire pit.

This property delivers substantial value, especially when considering the unique ranch activities and peaceful setting.”
