Summary: Our covered wagon was so fun
However the heater provided did NOT keep us warm- so probably not recommended in colder weather unless you bring plenty of sleeping bags or warm blankets
The kitchen was stocked with plenty of snacks and drinks for purchase (over Venmo or cash app) which was great
It’s not really a full kitchen for food prep as there is hot plate (to use pots and pans that were provided) or a sink to wash dishes
They have everything you need to make a fire, however the bundles of wood are $8 each and only have 4 logs. (Bring your own)
The sauna is only available from 4-8 pm each day and does not get that warm.
The central fire pit area is fun do socializing with other guests and the corn hole is fun as well.
This is not a good option for a Zion National Park stay. It is at least an hour away- which is very long after a full day spent in the park.
There isn’t anything close from a food perspective- we mostly roasted hot dogs or ate in Hurricane (about 30 minutes away)
They do not have a fridge or a microwave in the wagon, they do provide a cooler. And they provide two towels and some light bedding.
There isn’t really a place to store or hang things.
The WiFi was not strong or fast- even in the public areas
It was nice that each spot had its own picnic table, fire pit, and garbage can. But no garbage can inside the wagon.

Summary: No staff, so I had to call support at night when they never sent my access code. Then had to spend 45 minutes calling support multiple times to locate towels that were in a storage room. Other guests had the same problem. Hot tubs are full of sand.
Icing on the cake was a vagrant who was squatting on the property, appeared to be drinking, had no car, and was approaching guests asking for rides and making people uncomfortable.
I would never stay here again. It's cheap for a reason.

Summary: This business hasn’t been open for very long. Walking around the property one could tell how hard people were working to add decorative touches to the landscaping. My husband and I stayed in one of the covered wagons. During the night a strong wind started to blow. The wagon top moved some which I enjoyed. It made me think about the pioneers and what they must have experienced during their travels. I know it was not the same since I was snuggled in a king sized bed with an a/c heating unit beside me. Bathroom/showers are located across the lawn. Simple luxuries I have taken for granted, which this trip reminded me of. We are planning on staying here again next year and we look forward to seeing how the place has improved. Next time though we will rent one of their tents and compare that experience to our great grandfathers civil war journal.
Without hesitation, we would highly recommend this very unique and peaceful place. May your travels be filled with joyful adventures

Summary: My wife and I recently had the opportunity to stay at this unique property on the outskirts of Colorado City, AZ. I mean how often do you get to sleep in a pioneer style covered wagon!?! 😊 Wagon was spacious & clean with a very comfortable bed. Hosts thoughtfully provided a small firepit (which we used) and a grill (which we didn’t). Firewood and charcoal available, along with pretty much anything else you can think of. Groceries nearby allowed us to enjoy an evening picnic on the picnic table beside our wagon. Showers & bathrooms were clean, nearby and well lit at night. We stayed up outside in the evening looking at stars. Wow the stars! Amazingly quiet except for the occasional coyote howling in the desert which you back onto (solid wall fence provided barrier and great views). Great place to stay… highly recommend if you like a sense of adventure and romance!

Summary: Such a cool little place to stay. Property was very clean dispite the construction. Can't wait to see it completed. Just reccommed a community sink for those of us that grill. Our stay was in a covered wagon which was so beautiful, the ac was heaven. Definitely coming again!

Summary: From the moment we arrived at The Desert Retreat, we were absolutely blown away! This isn't just camping; it's a glamping experience elevated to an art form. The attention to detail is simply outstanding. The Desert Retreat offers a variety of charming accommodations, including old-time western-themed tents and wagons, which looked absolutely delightful! We, however, stayed in the cabin unit with a hot tub, and it was an absolute dream.
Forget those rustic camping nightmares! The Desert Retreat boasts fantastic amenities, including not one, but two sparkling clean shower stalls and multiple bathroom stalls, plus convenient sinks in each. And get this – one additional bathroom even comes stocked with all the toiletries you could possibly need! Talk about thoughtful!
Our cabin was equipped with a full fire pit and a regular grill, perfect for cooking up delicious meals under the stars. They even provide towels and an abundance of firewood at a super reasonable, minimalist cost. For those who love to cook, the free spices and the provision of pots, pans, and utensils were such a wonderful touch. Plus, each site has its own charcoal grill, and The Desert Retreat thoughtfully includes charcoal bags, lighters, and lighter fluid!
Worried about the desert heat? Don't be! Every unit comes with its own air conditioning, and thankfully, heat for those cooler desert nights. But what truly made our stay exceptional were the hosts. They were absolutely amazing – so friendly, welcoming, and
