The Novel House is truly amazing. As you checked in, there was lemonade and cookies for us in the dining room. The view of Zion National Park surrounded the house. The room was immaculate. After hiking at Zion that day, the Novel House was a five minute drive. I would highly recommend this property if you are wanting to visit the area.
Simply wow! The very helpful and friendly staff gave us a warm welcome. We were greeted with lemonade and cookies. They gave us various tips about Springdale/Zion. Beautiful, quiet, and clean rooms. The toilet is by European standards, not as deep as others here in the USA.
- Convenient location (beside stop 5 of Springdale line)
- Friendly greeting and home tour upon arrival
- Complimentary breakfast from restaurant close by
- Snacks and drinks within property
- Great room
Adorable, clean and tastefully decorated little inn, right off the main road. Walking distance to shuttle stop for Zion, many restaurants, and the grocery store. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
Our host was incredible. He gave us many good suggestions for hiking and eating and was always attentive to our needs. The place was a quiet haven right outside of Zion.
Highly recommend - Ciaran (sp?) Owner is a superb host. Personable, helpful and comes w/coupons for free breakfast at 2 local restaurants. The rooms are decorated as classic authors and just perfect!

Great location, close to the park shuttle and restaurants. Very clean and well-run property. Room and bathroom were spacious. The owner is very attentive and helpful. Even though we arrived late he waited for us and ensured a warm welcome. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Zion park.
Lovely and quiet location with beautiful views. Well located in town so no need to get in the car for restaurants or other amenities Our host was gracious and helpful.
This place was a gem. Very hospitable and Joanna was such a friendly host. We felt like we were in someone’s home. We will definitely be back! Thanks for everything! We came as strangers and left as friends.
Our stay at Novel House was excellent. It was quiet and comfortable. We would definitely stay there again if we need accommodations in the Springfield area.
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!
Comfortable spacious rooms. Quirky themes relating to classic novelists. Large guest common areas with tea, coffee, shared fridge and microwave. Very close to shuttle bus stop giving easy access to Zion NP. Oscar's breakfasts were good quality - although note that voucher doesn't cover service tips.

A delightful quiet family hotel with beautiful individual rooms, period furniture, communal library and lounge all within a stones throw of a number of great restaurants, the shuttle buses to Zion and the bike hire shops.
