Vacation Rental Properties for Sale in La Verkin, Utah
La Verkin sits along the Virgin River between Hurricane and Zion National Park, about 12 miles from the park's south entrance — close enough that owners renting to Zion visitors can market genuine proximity rather than stretch the truth. The town's small size keeps prices lower than Springdale or La Verkin's pricier neighbor Hurricane, but it still falls inside Washington County's overlay zoning rules, so anyone buying here for short-term rental income needs to confirm a parcel's nightly-rental eligibility before writing an offer. Not every lot in town is zoned for it, and the town has tightened permitting in recent years as demand from Zion tourism has grown.
Homes that work well as vacation rentals here tend to be newer builds in the Confluence Park area or properties along Highway 9 with river or red-rock views, since those pull higher nightly rates from travelers heading to or from Zion. Summer highs regularly clear 100 degrees, so a pool, spa, or covered patio meaningfully improves booking rates and reviews compared to a plain three-bedroom box. Buyers should also budget for the transient room tax and business license La Verkin requires of short-term rental operators, plus HOA rules in some newer subdivisions that either ban nightly rentals outright or cap them. Browse the active listings below to see which properties currently carry rental permits or are zoned to allow one.

Common questions
About vacation rental properties in La Verkin.
Does La Verkin allow short-term vacation rentals? ▾
Yes, La Verkin is one of the more rental-friendly towns in Washington County, and short-term rentals are permitted in specific zones with a city business license and transient room tax registration. Rules have tightened across southern Utah over the past few years, so always confirm the current zoning on a specific address with La Verkin City before writing an offer. Some subdivisions also carry HOA restrictions that override city allowances.
Why buy a vacation rental in La Verkin instead of Springdale or St. George? ▾
Springdale sits at Zion's gate and commands the highest nightly rates, but entry prices are steep and inventory is thin. La Verkin is roughly 20 minutes from the Zion park entrance, prices typically run 30-40% lower than comparable Springdale properties, and the town has more flexible STR zoning than most St. George neighborhoods. It's a practical middle ground for cash-flow-focused investors.
What kind of nightly rates and occupancy can owners expect? ▾
Performance varies by property size, pool/hot tub amenities, and view, but well-managed 3-4 bedroom homes near Highway 9 often see strong occupancy from March through October when Zion traffic peaks. Winter slows down but rarely goes dark thanks to mild temperatures and shoulder-season park visitors. Pull recent AirDNA or Rabbu data on the exact address before underwriting.
Do these homes come furnished and turnkey? ▾
Many active vacation rental listings in La Verkin are sold furnished with existing bookings in place, which lets a new owner take over revenue from day one. Furniture, linens, hot tubs, and management contracts are usually negotiated separately in the contract. Ask the listing agent for a trailing 12-month income statement and the inventory list early in the process.
How far is La Verkin from Zion, St. George, and the airport? ▾
La Verkin is about 22 miles from the Zion Canyon visitor center, 25 miles northeast of St. George, and roughly 30 minutes from St. George Regional Airport. Las Vegas Harry Reid International is about a 2-hour, 15-minute drive, which is how most out-of-state guests arrive. The drive time to Zion is a key selling point in listing descriptions.
What should I look at during due diligence on a La Verkin STR? ▾
Verify the current city STR license is transferable or that a new one can be issued for the address, check HOA CC&Rs for nightly rental language, review the past two years of booking history and cleaning costs, and confirm water-share or culinary water arrangements. Septic versus sewer matters too — parts of La Verkin still run on septic, which affects guest capacity.
