Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in Cannonville, Utah
[
Cannonville is a town of roughly 170 residents sitting at 6,000 feet on Highway 12 between Tropic and Henrieville, and it functions almost entirely as a basecamp for Bryce Canyon National Park, Kodachrome Basin State Park, and the western edge of Grand Staircase-Escalante. That tourism gravity is what makes vacation rental ownership here work: the park draws around 2.5 million visitors a year, and lodging inventory inside Bryce Canyon City is limited and expensive, so overflow demand pushes steadily down Highway 12 into Cannonville and Tropic. Buyers looking at this filter are usually weighing nightly-rental income against a property they'll also use a few weeks a year themselves.
Climate matters for the rental calendar. Summers run warm and dry in the 80s, shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) are the sweet spot for both bookings and weather, and winters bring real snow with nighttime lows well below freezing — which is why pipe protection, heat tape, and reliable HVAC show up on every inspection report. Most listings here are single-family homes on larger lots rather than condos, and red-rock or pasture views are common given how little has been built up. Garfield County's short-term rental rules are friendlier than the Wasatch Front, but permits and lodging tax registration still apply. Browse the active listings below to see which Cannonville homes are currently set up, or zoned, for nightly rental use.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in Cannonville.
Does Cannonville allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Yes. Cannonville and the surrounding Bryce Valley area in Garfield County are one of the more STR-friendly pockets in Utah, largely because tourism to Bryce Canyon is the local economy. Buyers should still verify zoning and any nightly-rental permit requirements with Garfield County before closing, since rules can shift year to year.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy can owners expect? ▾
Peak season runs roughly April through October, with July and September often hitting 80-95% occupancy and nightly rates in the $200-$400 range for a typical 2-3 bedroom home. Winter slows considerably, though snow-season visitors to Bryce Canyon and Grand Staircase-Escalante keep some bookings flowing December through February.
How close are these properties to Bryce Canyon National Park? ▾
Cannonville sits about 12 miles from the Bryce Canyon entrance on Highway 12, roughly a 20-minute drive. It's also the gateway to Kodachrome Basin State Park (about 9 miles south) and a launching point for slot canyons in Grand Staircase-Escalante, which makes it appealing to guests who want a quieter base than Bryce Canyon City or Tropic.
Is water and septic a concern for STR properties here? ▾
It can be. Many homes in the Bryce Valley area run on well and septic rather than municipal systems, so buyers planning high-occupancy use should review septic capacity, well production, and any culinary water shares before making an offer. This matters more for larger homes marketed to groups of 8 or more.
What's the typical price range for a turnkey vacation rental in Cannonville? ▾
Most rentable single-family homes trade between roughly $450,000 and $850,000 depending on size, finish level, and lot. Cabin-style builds and homes with red-rock views on the upper end of that range tend to command the strongest nightly rates and repeat bookings.
Are there HOAs or covenants restricting nightly rentals? ▾
Most of Cannonville proper is older lots without an HOA, which is part of why it works for STR use. A few newer subdivisions along Highway 12 do carry CC&Rs, so always pull the recorded covenants during due diligence to confirm nightly rentals are permitted.
