A gem…

We were only able to stay a couple of nights but would love to return! This was a gem in Kanab and such fun! We appreciated the great rest in a comfortable bed, the organization and creative flair of the property, the cleanliness, the abundance of fun and hiking in the area as well as the strong communication of the property owners! We hope to return for a longer stay! Thank you!

Unique/Fun/Cozy

So I rented this home to surprise my hubby who loves cars and Zion. It’s tiny living but for 2 people it’s perfect. My hubby was impressed and got ideas for his garage 😉. The detail that went into this place is amazing! Sherene was very attentive and available if needed. It was very kind to even supply us with hiking sticks, backpacks were available, coolers, big spray etc. There was even a French press which is the only thing I use to make my coffee so i was a happy camper in the morning. Bed was very comfy and it was fun using that small stove 😊. I do love tiny things and tiny cooking shows lol. There was 2 grocery stores within walking distance and Zion is only 40 min away. Bryce about 1.5 hrs away. Location was perfect! Will defiantly stay here again. Thanks for being an awesome host!

Hate to give away this secret

This property it absolutely adorable and perfect for accessing Zions, Bryce, Grand Canyon North Rim and hiking around Kanab! The hosts were top notch communicating with me before abs during our arrival. The attention to detail of this property is indescribable, you think you’ve seen it all and you find more! Kitchen was well stocked with basics like coffee, filters, and cooking tools. The bathroom was the same! Did I mention the most comfy bed and fluffy towels! We are already planning our return trip!

About the host

Hosted by Sherene McClellan

-When we married 41 years ago John told me “We may never be rich, but I promise you we will never be bored!”. That was an understatement. Once in a while, I confess, I just want to be a little bored. Life is always an adventure in our family. Recreating this home has been no exception.
John loves to travel and got me hooked. So even though we are both native Utahns, we try and see some part of the world every chance we get.
John also loves to create stuff. An artist at heart! So building the Western Star has been a combination of loves. Attempting to see travel through your eyes as we have created the bungalow has been almost as fun as going somewhere new ourselves.
If you have a hankerin’ to talk about old cars or Rat Fink, give John a call. If you’d rather talk about creating costumes or quilts, Sherene is your gal. We both enjoy ATV riding, back-country hiking, and old movies.
We are so happy to be full-time residents of Kanab since 2022. We have always loved this southern part of the state, done lots of backpacking here, and were thrilled when we had the chance to purchase this home in Kanab at the end of 2015.
We have 4 grown children and 4 grandchildren. Life is good!
We are excited to have you come and share some of the great sites that southern Utah has to offer.
Thanks so much! Sherene

Why they chose this property

We love Kanab and the surrounding areas. So much to see! And the climate is great. Still a change of seasons, but temps. seldom stay as cold as our home in Central Utah.

What makes this property unique

John is a creator and builder! The Studio is truly unique. It has been so much fun to see the fruition of our imaginations come to reality. We wanted to create the type of place we would like to stay.
