This Zion Resort Features a Village of Modern, Luxurious Tiny Homes Perfect for Family Stays

Located in the gorgeous state of Utah, Zion National Park has over 146,000 acres of awe-inspiring natural beauty. Epic hiking trails, scenic drives, and beautiful views are just a few of the many reasons to visit Zion. In 2024, it was the second most popular national park in the United States, but it has plenty of under-the-radar spots where you can escape the crowds. The national park is a destination that everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime, but finding the perfect accommodations can be a bit challenging. If you’re looking for the perfect home away from home near Zion, head straight to The Riv.



Millions travel to Zion each year. Due to its popularity, hotels, lodges, and glamping spots can book up during the peak tourist season, and prices often surge. A new resort located 15 miles from the park’s entrance welcomes everyone from families traveling with kids to groups of friends hoping to share the cost of accommodations. The Riv offers unique tiny home accommodations with plenty of luxurious amenities on a property surrounded by beautiful scenery that every traveler will love.
