Hilman UT. is different so that's really not part of my overall rating/review so I'll be sticking to rooms, service, food, venue. The winery/resort is nice. Has a rustic charm and decor and is clean and well kept and the staff is friendly. Another note, I did not do any wine tasting but had a beer and a cocktail which were good. I stayed in a bungalow and it was ok. Plenty big for myself, didn't feel clean and was certainly worn. Bed was hard and no closet or other place to hang clothes. I was part of a larger group and dinner was just not impressive. There was an appetizer that I tasted, just didn't look appetizing to me, meh. Dinner came out 2 plates at a time with what seemed like 5 minutes in-between, I was really kinda shocked. My choices were limited because they were running out of things so I opted for a fish & chips and I'm sorry I did. 2 small squares of over fried fish and some fries which were actually good but I wasn't going to eat just FF for dinner. There did pass out some desserts and I tasted the creme', it was over cooked and lacked any real depth of flavor. The bread pudding was heavy, not to my liking. I would go back but not for the food and not in a large group.

What a great place to stay if looking for some downtime or wanting to be next to all the great spots that canyon country has to offer. The little cabins are spacious for their small size. High ceilings, white walls, and great use of space make them seem quite roomy. The decor is great and the furniture is comfortable. The view is spectacular and we were able to enjoy it every day as we ate our breakfast outside in our cute little private yard. We intend to be back!

Water Canyon Resort is beautiful! I stayed here with my dog and my girlfriend on a last minute New Years trip. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. My dog loved running around outside and he also loved running around at Coral Pink Sand Dunes. Zion is only an hour drive away. The studio was just the right size and perfect for feeling safe during a pandemic. I would absolutely recommend staying here.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Water Canyon Resort! Our unit looked exactly like the pictures online and was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating and were able to handle a last minute change of date for our stay. We were on vacation to visit the national parks, which ranged from about a 1 hour drive to Zion, to a 2 hour drive to Bryce Canyon, so a bit of a drive but the views along the way are beautiful and helped the time go by quickly. There was a cute brewery, nice grocery store, and a few restaurants about 5 mins away in Colorado City, which we enjoyed. We'd definitely recommend this charming tiny home if you're looking for a quiet and Scenic getaway.
