Quiet, peaceful and accommodating.
The perfect location for Zion.
Novel house is perfectly located in Springdale. Right at the end of the driveway is a free bus (stop 5) every ten minutes that links to the free park bus to trails. The rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. Coffee, lemonade, hot chocolate and cookies are always available in the common area. The best part of the Novel house is the host,Ciaran. He is a font of information regarding the park but also always available for a lively and engaging conversation. Instead of serving breakfast they provided coupons for local restaurants. We ate a delicious breakfast at Oscar’s located a short walk from the Novel house and returned there twice.
If you would like to stay at a cozy, delightful Inn, this is the place!
The stay at the Novel House exceeded expectations. The decor was clever, thoughtful, and very comfortable. The owners were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. Each room is named after a famous novelist, and the furniture in each room is unique, as well as comfortable. Would definitely stay there again!
Perfect. Beautiful room. Welcomed upon arrival and given every courtesy possible. Would highly recommend staying at Novel House for the ambiance, comfort and access to Zion.
Lovely unique property. Joanna was a gracious host. One night stay and not enough time to use the wonderful library. Breakfast coupon used @ Oscars & delicious. Very convenient to Zion. Short walk to Stop 5 on Springdale free Shuttle. So comfortable. Deer observed in yard & beautiful view.
Really nice place to stay. It is off the main drag, everything is within walking distance or a shuttle bus ride away. Very casual atmosphere in town. Novel House has themed rooms named after authors we were in the Bronte room lovely decor nice ambiance and you can't beat the surrounding view.
The hostess Marie was wonderful. She gave us lots of information of the area & about Zion. You get a voucher for breakfast every morning for Oscars or Porters which are very close by. The room was clean & very nice. The views are beautiful around the inn.
What a lovely, lovely place. It’s hard to imagine a more breathtaking setting or beautiful inn. The staff gave really helpful advice about navigating crowded Park venues. They were friendly and helpful. I will stay here (our room was fabulous,) when we return to Zion.
Non conventional stay with outstanding benefits. Parking while at Zion with easy shuttle access. Personable at site host. Author inspired historic rooms. Breakfast vouchers for nearby restaurants (in place of a usual bland hotel breakfast).
Beautifui, unique author oriented theme for a hotel that looks and feels like a B&B. Close to restaurants and shopping. The host was on site, was friendly and informative about the area. Room includes voucher for breakfast at two restaurants. Definitely we would stay here again.
