FreeSpirit Cabin| Your Zion National Park Retreat

Experience the magic of Zion National Park at FreeSpirit cabin, perched on the East Rim amidst a forest of Ponderosa, Juniper, and Pinion Pine. This historic 1930s cabin offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, ideal for those seeking to unplug and reconnect with nature. With world-class hiking trails at your doorstep and breathtaking views all around, FreeSpirit cabin provides the ultimate "roughing it easy" getaway in the heart of Utah's spectacular wilderness.

Step into FreeSpirit cabin and feel the weight of the world slip away. This cozy retreat, once nicknamed the "John Wayne cabin," has a rich history that adds to its unique charm. Built in 1931 at the Parry Lodge in Kanab, Utah, it has witnessed the golden age of Western movies and even served as a dressing room during the filming of Clint Eastwood's "The Outlaw Josey Wales."

As you enter, you'll be greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blends rustic elements with modern amenities. The living area beckons you to curl up with a good book or enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with an electric range, oven, microwave, and coffee maker, allows you to prepare delicious meals after a day of adventures.

The cabin's true magic reveals itself as you step outside. Breathe in the crisp mountain air as you relax in the hammock or unwind on the rustic deck. Watch as the sun paints the sky in brilliant hues, casting long shadows across the rugged landscape. You might spot mule deer grazing nearby or hear the call of wild turkeys echoing through the trees.

As night falls, the lack of light pollution transforms the sky into a glittering canvas of stars. It's the perfect setting for sharing stories around a campfire or simply marveling at the beauty of the universe.

From the cabin, you have direct access to the Zion National Park East Rim trail network. The East Mesa trailhead for Observation Point is just a couple of miles away. We encourage you to explore these trails and immerse yourself in the stunning natural beauty of Zion.

Remember, water is precious in this high-desert environment. The cabin operates on a limited water supply, so we ask guests to conserve where possible. While the tap water is safe for cooking and showering, we recommend bringing bottled water for drinking.

At FreeSpirit cabin, we invite you to disconnect from the daily grind and reconnect with nature, history, and yourself. Whether you're seeking adventure on Zion's trails or a peaceful retreat in the wilderness, our cabin offers the perfect base for your unforgettable Utah experience.
