Overview

About This Property

We roll into Cable Mountain Lodge, a lodge at Zion's gate with 50+ rooms, a full-service spa, and the Zion Canyon Brew Pub just steps away. No on-site breakfast, but coffee options and river views are nearby, and park access is unbeatable. The second floor holds the best canyon vistas—room 524 is a solid pick for the panorama. It’s a practical base for hikers who want comfort without drama.

Your Morning Game Plan

Hit Perks at Zion Espresso for a solid coffee. You're about 5 minutes from the gate, so plan to leave by 6:15am to beat the crowds. If you want the best view, head to room 524 on the second floor and enjoy the quiet on the return.

The Honest Truth

This is a solid lodge at the park entrance. It delivers convenience, on-site spa, and a pub, with great access to Zion trails. Some rooms pick up road noise and there’s no elevator to the upper floors, but the views from the second floor are hard to beat. For the price in the off-peak, it’s a smart anchor for your Zion visit.

Who Should Skip This

Not ideal for light sleepers or guests needing elevator access to upper floors.

Booking Insider Tip

Book six months in advance for peak season; request upper-floor Canyon View rooms (524 for standout views).

What Guests Say

Cable Mountain Lodge pairs park-side convenience with spa luxury and a lively brew pub scene. The value fluctuates with season; second-floor canyon views shine, while lower floors can hear traffic. Overall, a dependable base for Zion explorations at a reasonable off-peak price.
