4 nights at Gypsy’s CottageThis was such a special trip for us, and I’m so happy we found this place!
One of the most important things for me when traveling is being able to bring my three dogs. They’re family, and leaving them behind is never something I want to do. One of my dogs, Luna, was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year. She used to love hiking and exploring with us, and after months of treatment, we finally got the amazing news that her tumor was no longer visible. This was not only my birthday trip, but also a very special one for Luna. Being able to have her there with us, along with our other two dogs, meant more to me than I can explain. I’m incredibly grateful we found a place that welcomed all three of them.
The place itself was wonderful! After spending long days hiking and exploring, having a comfortable bed, a clean restroom, and a hot shower was amazing. I especially loved that there were both indoor and outdoor showers! Having a little store nearby where we could grab essentials without worrying about driving somewhere else was also really convenient. And of course, being able to enjoy a campfire at night was the perfect way to end the day. Not every place allows that, and it’s one of my favorite parts of camping.
The location was another huge plus! We used it as our home base for exploring Zion, where I got to hike Angels Landing, and we also visited Bryce Canyon and took the dogs hiking in the surrounding area. Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park was another highlight, especially because we could bring the dogs along.
I also absolutely loved exploring the little town! Whenever I travel, I enjoy discovering local coffee shops, and I found a great one here. We took the dogs to the local park and spent some time just enjoying the town itself. It was such a charming area, and I’m glad we got to experience more than just the national parks.
We enjoyed our stay so much that we actually tried to extend it for a few more days, but unfortunately, it was already booked! That probably says enough about how much we loved it.
Since we’re only a few hours away in Las Vegas, I can definitely see us coming back for a shorter getaway, just to relax, explore the area, sit around a campfire, and enjoy some quality time with our dogs.
This trip will always have a special place in my heart, especially because of Luna. Thank you for giving us a place where our whole family could be together and make these memories. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting the area, especially those traveling with their four-legged family members! 💚
