10 Airbnbs Near Zion and Bryce Canyon

For two very different experiences just 90 minutes apart, combine Zion National Park in southern Utah and Bryce Canyon National Park on a single road trip. Camping in the parks can be great, especially during the off-season. But if a hot shower and a comfortable bed sound appealing, book a dreamy Airbnb not far from the park entrances. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites, from a tiny house with a killer hot tub to a solar-powered retreat on an apple orchard.
