Spend time exploring the city streets or hiking through Zion National Park. Regardless of how you choose to fill your days, allow Amid Summer's Inn to fill your nights with luxury.

    Front ParlorThe numerous amenities begin with off-street parking and extend to a sumptuously decorated inn. The parlor features an original Rococo sofa and chairs dating from the 1800's. An inviting fireplace accents the arched ceiling that takes you back to days gone by while fresh flowers and chocolates add to the ambiance.

    Every room has a private bath, air conditioning, cable television, wireless internet, refrigerator, iron and ironing board, hair dryer, which doubles as a night light, alarm clock radio, specialty toiletries, soft linens, triple sheets, and very comfortable pillow top beds.

    Dining RoomThen...there are the extras for which Gary and Charlene are famous. They offer a full, multi-course, warm gourmet breakfast feast which, also, includes a fresh fruit bowl, homemade pastries, assorted juices, teas, and coffee all served on heirloom china in the elegant formal dining room. You, also, won't want to miss the extravagant assortment of homemade fruit smoothies. One guest wrote in the comment book, "The breakfast alone is worth the price of your room."

    During the day, delight in home baked snacks and fresh fruit out on the beautifully decorated covered deck. Relax as you feel the peace and tranquility while taking a nap or reading a good book.
