Hotel overview

The inn exudes a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with comfortable, well-maintained rooms that include thoughtful amenities like walk-in closets, river stone showers, and private entrances in some units.

“Loved the River Stone Inn and highly recommend. We stayed in the Walnut Tree and Studio rooms which were cute and comfortable. The grounds were a delight as we saw mule deer, hummingbirds, apple trees, pear trees and more. The on-site host is outstanding and truly made our stay perfect.”

“The River Stone Inn in Tropic, Utah was the perfect place to stay near Bryce Canyon National Park! Kimmi was SO amazing. The room was super clean, cozy, and comfortable, and it’s only a short drive to Bryce Canyon. Tropic is such a cute small town with great places to eat. The August weather made our trip even better. Highly recommend this hotel inn if you’re looking for a convenient, quiet and comfortable stay near Bryce Canyon!”

“I stayed in the cozy and comfy Tropic Room for two nights while visiting Bryce Canyon. It's the corner room of the main house with a private entrance and its own parking spot right in front of the unit, and with door keypad for security. Custom bathroom with walk-in river stone shower. Walk-in closets, refrigerator, microwave, electric water kettle/coffee maker, quiet and peaceful. Kimmi was a fantastic, welcoming and caring host. The fire pit was lit up each night at sundown and guests could roast marshmallows/make smores and chat under the dark sky. This place has the best location - only 15 minutes drive from Bryce National Park - and is walkable to the town of Tropic's main street for coffee, groceries or a night out for dinner. Highly recommend!”

“We could not have had a more perfect stay in the Studio Room thanks to Kimmi. We felt so welcomed from the minute we arrived by Kimmi the inn keeper, she truly is one of the kindest people I have ever met. Our favorite part was gathering around a bonfire at night with other guests to hear about everyones adventures and to view the amazing stars. The wildlife in the yard is also so enjoyable to watch as you relax. The bed in the studio room was very comfortable. It was just two of us for the stay but there are other beds available for more guests. Coffee in the room was appreciated along with a welcome treat tray left for us. This was the perfect place to stay for our 2 day visit to Bryce. It is a stay we will never forget, thank you Kimmi!”

“I loved my stay here! The room (and gift basket!) was so thoughtfully set up. Kimmi, the innkeeper, is so welcoming and brought all of us guests together over fires and smores in the evenings. She has great recommendations for hikes and sights to see, too. I would highly recommend the River Stone Inn and I would stay here again.”
