Purple Sage Inn

What a great spot! The innkeeper was lovely, and the location was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend the Purple Sage Inn to anyone.

This place was incredible. The owners were sweet as pie and live between the house and the guest house in the back. They wake up early and make delicious breakfast such as candied French Toast with fresh fruit and bacon. The kitchen was well stocked with bottled water and juices, fruit, pastries, and snacks for us.
The house itself was immaculately clean. There were no dust bunnies anywhere and no mold/​mildew in the bathrooms. Everything was quaintly decorated and perfect.
Many aspects of the house were old. The wooden floor was in good condition but creaky. The toilet was vintage. There were countless antiques throughout the rooms. It all felt very warm and special.
We could open the windows for fresh air or control our own heating and air conditioning. The water pressure was on pointe.
The first night we stayed at the Purple Sage Inn we were the only guests and we were given a choice of rooms. The second night had two other couples. We couldn’t hear them when we were sleeping but we enjoyed their company at breakfast around the large dining room table.
The owners were excellent about answering the phone when I had questions. For example, they allowed us to leave our rental car out front for four days while we hiked in the Grand Canyon.

My wife and I only stayed here one night, but since we did not have a lot to do that particular day of our traveling vacation we did spend a fair amount of time talking with the owners and a couple of the other guests staying there. Everyone had unique and interesting stories, some about Kanab and its history and some about different vacation spots. Ended up being a very memorable stay and the house itself is really full of history and our room had a very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed our stay, and that breakfast in the morning is not to be missed, really outstanding.

Wow, where to start… Kathy is the best. She was very helpful and patient with us as we were driving into Kanab through the mountains and spotty cell service. As we arrived, she greeted us kindly and from that moment on was so hospitable. She gave us a great tour and history lesson of the house and land, has a fridge and pantry full of almost anything you could want to snack on, makes the most amazing, full course, delicious, healthy breakfast, and waits on you hand and foot. Its like staying at your grand moms house on the best day but maybe a little better. Internet is available although you’ll hardly want to use it. The house is old and beautifully restored. There are antiques from the area everywhere. Everything was spotless clean. Expensive soaps and shampoos are awaiting you. The master bedroom is worth the little extra. It was huge. The bathroom was huge. Monster sized tub and shower. You will also get your own patio. There is a big parking lot in the back. A little cat will greet you if you walk around the house by the name of Pretty Girl. She is nice and not a bother. Also not allowed indoors. Kathy treats you like you’re family. Like a southern hospitality in the Mid West Mountains. Cant really say enough about this place except that if you don’t stay here, you’re making a mistake. It was one of the highlights of my cross country trip and by far the nicest place i have ever stayed.

Wow what a pleasant surprise. The outside is so serene and peaceful. The gardens are amazing. However when you step inside it is truly remarkable. It is like stepping back into the late 1800’s so many antiques in great shape each room is remarkable in itself. The host Torrey and Cathy are the nicest people. The breakfast was really good. My only regret is that we were not able to stay longer. I will plan our next trip to this area around staying here again.

This is nothing but the absolute, most amazing Bed and Breakfast in the world. If you happen to visit Kanab, or just stop for one night, you have got to stay here. It is a spotless and beautiful Victorian house with approximately 6 rooms for guests. Extremely clean, great bath products, impeccable conditions, very 1800’s Victorian décor and a great environment. There is breakfast served at 8am every morning. I’m talking about a wonderful, home-​made breakfast that is delicious. You will not want to leave, ever! If u don’t decide to stay here and choose a hotel instead, u are simply a fool.

Gotta stay here!
On tripadvisor there is only one review of less than five stars and if you visit here you will agree. It’s just like staying with a friend who wants nothing but to pamper you! I don’t know how you could find anything negative unless you are congenitally allergic to the B&B experience. It is a home – not a hotel, but so much nicer and more enjoyable. It was just a great pleasure.
Cathy has countless Victorian era treasure spread around the house. Tory keeps the beautiful grounds immaculate. I forgot the name of their housekeeper but she keeps everything spotless.
Kanab it just a 15 minute detour from the route from L.V. to the G.C. North Rim. Or a 20 minute detour from the route between Zion and Bryce Canyon and on the route between Zion or Bryce and the G.C.N.R. Kanab is a stopover on these routes and it has a fabulous casual restaurant that has super great food – the Rockin V Café which is a 5 minute easy stroll just around the corner – no drinking and driving! See my review of the Rockin V, also google their website.
So if you are traveling between any of these national parks or between L.V. and either Bryce or the G.C.N.R, the Purple Sage makes a great stop on your trip. If you aren’t able to get reservations at the North Rim, check out availability at the Purple Sage, it a bit less than two hours away. Also, with the Coral Pink Sands Sate Park just a dozen or so miles away, you might consider it as a short stop or a bit longer for some hiking.
We really enjoyed our stay. So glad I was able to cancel my reservation at a local motel when I found this wonderful B&B. We’ve stayed at many B&Bs but can’t remember any being nearly this great.
