Hideout Cabin 4 bdrm / 2 bathroom sleeps 12

We stayed at the hideout for three nights over spring break. This property is centrally located between Bryce and Zion but there is literally nothing else around. As we pulled into the steep driveway, the wheels started to spin and we were forced to park at the bottom of the driveway. Within a couple of hours of being in the house, my 15 yr old son found three spiders (it reminded me of one of the reviews I had read on this property before booking). There were several tiles in both the entryway and in the upstairs rec room that were cracked and obnoxiously repaired with duct tape. As you walked up the stairs into the main living area, the air vent (which was at eye level) was caked full of dirt and dust and a constant reminder that the house wasn't as clean as it should be. The alarm clock next to our bed in the upstairs bedroom was also coated with a layer of dust. We didn't have hot water for the first 24 hours in the home since the switch on the hot water heater had been turned off. There were several board games and puzzles which were in disarray and all of the puzzles were incomplete and missing numerous pieces. The pool table saved the day and kept us very entertained! While I was aware there was green carpeting in the bathrooms and in the kitchen, I wasn't prepared for how grossed out it would make me feel. There is no window or fan in the upstairs master bathroom.

One night we ended up going to the gas station to get dinner (which actually worked out well; they served hot dogs, fresh grilled burgers and chicken strips). While walking to the gas station, we came across a neighbor that was walking his dog. We smiled at him and said 'Hi." He said he did not recognize us and that we were "not welcome here." He warmed up a little after we told him we were staying in the neighborhood. After a week of vacationing it was nice to have a wash machine to do laundry. Because of the placement of the dryer, you are not able to open up the dryer door more that 30% because there is a wall in the way.

Bottom line: We had a good time but the home felt unclean and neglected and in its current condition, I would not stay here again.
