One of the (many) great things about Zion National Park is that there is a really lovely town right outside its main gate. Springdale has great scenery, restaurants, stores and plenty of accommodation options. The shuttle bus into the park starts in Springdale, so you can walk from your Airbnb right to the shuttle bus stop and from there ride through the park. It couldn’t be easier.
Even better? There are loads of wonderful vacation rentals to choose from. We’ve hand-picked what we consider the top ten, covering a range of different types, sizes and budgets.
