The Cabin
Perched Above the Desert
Elevation 40 Zion sits on a private clifftop in Apple Valley, Utah — one of the most dramatic settings in the American Southwest. Log cabin walls, soaring vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the red rock formations of Zion National Park from every room. Step onto the deck at golden hour, sink into the hot tub under the stars, or gather around the fire pit as the valley glows below. This is the retreat you've been imagining.

What guests are saying
"I booked Elevation 40, with a plan to surprise my girlfriend and propose on top of the property. I knew it was going to be awesome, but our experience and Gina's accommodation blew us away. If you are even remotely considering staying at Elevation 40, DO IT. You'll remember that trip for the rest of your life. PS. She said yes."

"5 Stars doesn't begin to describe the sheer beauty of this property. Not only were the sights breathtaking but the property is so well maintained. The location is incredibly peaceful. Our daughter is begging to go back. Don't hesitate!!!!!"

"Words and photographs cannot do justice to the magic of this top-of-the-mesa home. We spent five amazing days and nights there, with the company of big horn sheep, hawks, owls, horses and at night...the Milky Way...while soaking in the hot tub. This was perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us."

"The property itself is breathtaking; like a private piece of Zion national park outside your window. The cabin was immaculate and complete with all the amenities you can think of. Dawson and Daniel went above and way beyond — their hospitality was far beyond any 5-Star hotel I have stayed in."

"The views are genuinely breathtaking, the kind you just can't capture in photos. We loved starting and ending each day in the hot tub while soaking in the scenery. If you're looking for a peaceful getaway with incredible views and a unique mountain experience, this place is perfect. We'd come back in a heartbeat!"

"Absolutely breathtaking views and home. We are artists and planned to write 7 songs while in this space and we did just that. So inspiring and peaceful. We even caught photos of the desert bighorn sheep outside the back balcony one morning!"
