Novel house is perfectly located in Springdale. Right at the end of the driveway is a free bus (stop 5) every ten minutes that links to the free park bus to trails. The rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. Coffee, lemonade, hot chocolate and cookies are always available in the common area. The best part of the Novel house is the host,Ciaran. He is a font of information regarding the park but also always available for a lively and engaging conversation. Instead of serving breakfast they provided coupons for local restaurants. We ate a delicious breakfast at Oscar’s located a short walk from the Novel house and returned there twice. If you would like to stay at a cozy, delightful Inn, this is the place!

Due to some delays we were to arrive late, so I called the inn and they were excellent in making arrangements for us. Inn was decorated lovely and they provided an amazing breakfast at the local cafe. Location was perfect to catch the shuttle and we could leave our car parked there for the day. Would stay here again!

Cairon is a gracious host who makes you feel immediately at home. The warm, friendly vibe is so much nicer than a conventional hotel. Fresh coffee in the morning, cookies and lemonade every afternoon. We unexpectedly had to leave a day early and he didn't charge us for the night. What a thoughtful and appreciated gift. If you come to Zion, this is the place to stay. End of discussion.

We were allowed to check in early. The property and Inn were beautiful. We were made to feel at home immediately. There were cookies and lemonade in the afternoon. A library with a fireplace and cozy couch. Easy access to shops and restaurants by walking. Deer in the back yard. Minutes to the entrance of Zion. Very polite and informative hosts.

The Novel House has an exceptional location in Springdale and less than 10 minute drive to the entrance and visitor’s center of Zion National Park. One of the host (Ciaran) was also exceptionally hospitable, left a detailed note for check-in as we were arriving late at night, and checked on us when he could. They offer breakfast vouchers to two great restaurants walking distance, and offer amenities like coffee and hot tea from 6 am, and cookies and refreshing lemonade in the afternoon. The rooms are also very comfortable (we stayed in the C.S. Lewis room). Thank you Novel House for making our stay very homey especially after a long day of hikes and exploring.

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.

This B&B is amazing, the owner takes care of every single detail and does everything to make you feel at home. The rooms are spacious and clean and they have everything you may need. In the common rooms, there is coffee, tea, water, games, and comfy sofas. I am actually sad that I didn't have time to stay more at the house and enjoy all the comforts!

Can not say enough nice things about novel house!! Right near a stop for the Zion shuttle, walkable to shops and restaurants. We stayed in the CS Lewis room, and there were journals signed back from upwards of 25 years of guests!! Had a great time flipping through those. Very charming common areas with books and games, a back patio to watch the sunset. The breakfast voucher they give for a couple of different local restaurants is an incredible value! Highly recommend if you are visiting Zion and want something different than your average chain hotel!

Needed improvements: -coffee - only a single brewer for entire place, and no keurig backup. -temperature : no room thermostat, and house seems to be all over the place. Sometimes nice and cool, but often too hot.

One of the host (Ciaran) was also exceptionally hospitable, left a detailed note for check-in as we were arriving late at night, and checked on us when he could. They offer breakfast vouchers to two great restaurants walking distance, and offer amenities like coffee and hot tea from 6 am, and cookies and refreshing lemonade in the afternoon. The rooms are also very comfortable (we stayed in the C.S. Lewis room). Thank you Novel House for making our stay very homey especially after a long day of hikes and exploring.

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.

The Novel House has an exceptional location in Springdale and less than 10 minute drive to the entrance and visitor’s center of Zion National Park. One of the host (Ciaran) was also exceptionally hospitable, left a detailed note for check-in as we were arriving late at night, and checked on us when he could. They offer breakfast vouchers to two great restaurants walking distance, and offer amenities like coffee and hot tea from 6 am, and cookies and refreshing lemonade in the afternoon. The rooms are also very comfortable (we stayed in the C.S. Lewis room). Thank you Novel House for making our stay very homey especially after a long day of hikes and exploring.

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!

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.

Lovely unique property. Joanna was a gracious host. One night stay and not enough time to use the wonderful library. Breakfast coupon used @ Oscars & delicious. Very convenient to Zion. Short walk to Stop 5 on Springdale free Shuttle. So comfortable. Deer observed in yard & beautiful view.

Novel house is perfectly located in Springdale. Right at the end of the driveway is a free bus (stop 5) every ten minutes that links to the free park bus to trails. The rooms are spacious and very clean and comfortable. Coffee, lemonade, hot chocolate and cookies are always available in the common area. The best part of the Novel house is the host,Ciaran. He is a font of information regarding the park but also always available for a lively and engaging conversation. Instead of serving breakfast they provided coupons for local restaurants. We ate a delicious breakfast at Oscar’s located a short walk from the Novel house and returned there twice. If you would like to stay at a cozy, delightful Inn, this is the place!

Due to some delays we were to arrive late, so I called the inn and they were excellent in making arrangements for us. Inn was decorated lovely and they provided an amazing breakfast at the local cafe. Location was perfect to catch the shuttle and we could leave our car parked there for the day. Would stay here again!

Beautifui, unique author oriented theme for a hotel that looks and feels like a B&B. Close to restaurants and shopping. The host was on site, was friendly and informative about the area. Room includes voucher for breakfast at two restaurants. Definitely we would stay here again.

This small inn was excellent. The staff were superb and the whole feel of the place was pleasantly reminiscent of a time gone by. The public rooms: a dining room and a library were both appealing. The bedroom was big and comfortable whilst remaining in keeping with the character of the Inn. Meals are not served on site, although there is a microwave, crockery and cutlery. Breakfast vouchers are provided for two local restaurants. There was space to park next to the Inn.

The Louis Lemore room was quaintly appointed. Ample parking for the guest. Lovely location for South entrance to Zion national Park. Oscar’s restaurant was a better breakfast than Porters in terms of variety and quality of food. At porters they served me packaged reheated premade Belgian waffles with one or two sliced strawberries on top not what I was expecting at all. Such a shame.

Everything was wonderful! The staff was extremely helpful. It was a short walk to the Springdale shuttle to Zion. We had delicious breakfasts at Porters using our vouchers. There were shops and restaurants very close by. We would stay there again, no question.
