Atomic Love Shack @ Area 51 | Private Casita located near Zion! | Pet Friendly - Pool Access

The Atomic Love Shack @ Area 51 is a modern, yet rustic, private casita in historic downtown Hurricane UT (about 30 min. from Zion National Park main entrance.) This unit is part of the Area 51 themed Micro Resort - a fun play on conspiracy, imagination and quality family time. (Pool & Hot Tub NOW OPEN!)

This private Casita boasts a private patio covered by a rough sawn timber pergola illuminated by Eddison patio lights with BBQ overlooking the refreshing pool. This is a pet friendly unit that sleeps 1-2 guests. Themed to capture the mid-century American road trip with a mix of route 66 and the 1950's flare with an occasional "alien" spoof. This casita is a studio layout. You'll find a queen size bed with flat screen TV. There is a full bathroom with shower. The other side of the room will have a kitchenette and dining table. The kitchenette includes a mini fridge, microwave and toaster (no oven or cooktop). There is also a grill for your use out on the private patio overlooking the pool. This cozy couple's getaway is close to restaurants, grocery stores and antique shops.

There is trailer parking for your ATV's, Side-by-Side or Boat. Minutes to Quail Lake or Sand Hollow Lake. This little gem is placed a short drive from Zion National Park as well as all the wonderful outdoor venues that the greater St. George area has to offer.

Area 51 is a Micro-Resort, comprised of 4 individual vacation home rentals with luxury resort pool/hot tub amenities. Rent 1 unit for a weekend escape (shared amenities) or all the units for that special family or large group adventure and have the whole pool to yourselves! Check out our listing "Area 51" for a combined, unforgettable experience!

NOTE: The hot tub is accessible year-round and is easy to heat. The pool is heated for Presidents Day weekend through spring break as well as the month of October as well as the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New year holidays.

Lack of communication
Upon arriving the check in went very smoothly. Initially we were not sure where to park as there was someone in our parking spot and had to park in front of the adjoining property. I messaged the host and did not receive a reply until the next day. However, after looking at the link that was sent we found that we could park in the gravel if needed before getting the response the next day. After getting inside we found a few dead roaches in the bathroom. We left and bought groceries only to return and find that the fridge was not working. We fixed it by pushing the reset button on the outlet but had to go buy ice for our cold groceries until it cooled down. After finding these issues we tried contacting the phone number listed and no one answered. I then texted the number and never received a call or text back. A few days later I texted the number again about turning on the jets in the hot tub (as is instructed to ask in the link) and again never received a reply. The complete lack of communication is concerning. The property was nice enough, in a good location, and the pool was available but the roaches, the hot fridge, and not being able to have the “bubbles” on in the hot tub was also a let down.

Great place, super quiet
The Atomic love shack is great. The neighborhood is super quiet. Check in was a little clunky, as some of the emails were not from the actual rental company, and there was some confusion on who to contact. I would suggest new pillows since they are a little flat. Overall we had the entire place to ourselves, it was quiet, the pool was a nice treat in the afternoon, and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We are looking forward to coming back soon. Also thank you for making it pet friendly, we appreciate being able to bring along our dog, she had a great time too.

Inviting and clean, except the bathroom
The place was nice, inviting and clean as soon as you walk in. The bathroom was clean except there was a dirty face cloth hanging on the shower curtain rod, the shower liner was pink at the bottom, which shows it wasn’t clean, and the shower head was spraying everywhere. I twisted it and it lessened the spraying everywhere but the head itself was partially clogged and needs to be descaled. The listing said there would be a hairdryer, I could not find one. The most worrisome part of the bathroom was the black mold on the wall behind the toilet. I did not use any of the appliances, pool or hot tub so I cannot comment on that. On the other hand, the bed was very comfortable and the rest of the space was great. Proximity to Zion was great and was easy to get to from the casita.

Description misleading
Check in and location easy enough. The property looks cute when you first pull up on it Check in process was however it is not as it seems. The pool and hot tub area is not maintenanced and cleaned routinely. The pool was filthy including fast food wrappers and additional trash in the water. The hot tub didn't work properly for the four days and three nights we were there. The hostess was notified immediately and not a timely response. My husband cleaned the pool the best he could including washing all the decking/patio area around the pool and tub. The next day after many messages the hostess still never showed up but sent a lady to clean on the pool some more however tub still not working properly. Very disappointed since this was a huge reason we booked this location. The property has three other rentals that are joined to this same pool area and had also been expressing concerns and were upset. Our front door greeted us with several piles of dog poop that had not been cleaned up. The public restroom to the pool had not been cleaned and also full of trash. The freezer and the air-conditioning in our unit also not working properly. We also unfortunately had to kill a couple roaches and many spring tails and ants. We did have messages and emails as well as called the management business escape properties and were told the concerns would be passed on to hostess etc. We also contacted the hostess who would only message back and never did show up to the property. Today was our last morning there and new people are showing up to the shared property upset because nothing has still been addressed. We have asked for three nights room rate to be adjusted and have heard nothing back. Our neighbors have done the same. After going back and looking more closely at reviews it appears this has all been going on for ahile. Statements made by management / host it would be taken care of back in Feb and it never was. We are very disappointed and will definitely think twice before booking with this site and company again. Probably to be truthful never. Now instead of enjoying my trip I get to dispute fees we paid for the room and amenities. I would stay clear of this place for the price you pay there are many places nicer and cleaner.

I want a refund.
The trip started with a delay with check in due to a broken pipe. We had adjusted our travel plans to accommodate- once we had landed we were told that there might just be wet paint and that now we could check in on time. The reason we choose this place was due to hot tub and pool. We were hiking Zion and excited to unwind in the hot tub. We booked this trip over 2 months ago so there was plenty of time to share if there would be any issues. During our stay the hot tub was not working and management was made aware. It took over a day but someone showed up to fix and at least we finally got to use the hot tub and pool at its full capacity once - even though our booking was for several days. The last full day of our stay I received a text that the management company scheduled for the pool and hot tub to be shocked and now we couldn’t use it. Again, would not have booked this place knowing the amenities promised were not usable at all. The place once we arrived was covered in pet hair, long human hair, debris, dirt & bugs. The dishes in the cupboard were dirty as well. With this property you truly get what you pay for- except we didn’t even get that. I would not stay here again or recommend to a friend. Finally, I even tried to see if we could receive a partial refund due to the lack of use of the amenities but was told that it was all out of their control, and no partial refund would be provided.

Cute little cabin
We enjoyed our 4 night stay here. The place was clean and sufficient for our hiking trip. The hot tub was not heating properly when we were there which would have been nice after our long days on the trails. Perfect location to enjoy Zion National Park, close enough to restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations.

Fun little rental, but needs work
When I walked into the rental, it was so so cold. Luckily, they had a space heater which was nice, but I was freezing all night and the next day. There is a big chunk of black mold growing behind the toilet area which has some severe water damage to it. The bathroom floor had several dead and living ants. When I checked in, the shower floor was dirty with red mud smears in it. Even though this seems like a lot, I did enjoy my stay. Perfect location for what I was needing. Nice furniture. Everywhere else was perfectly clean and tidy.

This spot was perfect for my fiance and I and our dog. When we first walked in, it seemed a little small, but we stayed here for 4 nights and it was perfect. Great location, easy to get to, they are doing some renovations outside that will make this place even better.

Worked Fine
The location was great and parking was easy. No heat. Tiny space heater that worked well but a lot of turning it on and off at night. Only basic utensils in kitchen (no sharp knives). Ants were everywhere, with traps by your feet at the bathroom sink. Microwave/toaster appliance was dirty. Overall was great for what we needed, just closer to the mid-range quality

Cute but buggy place
Overall this property was fine, loved the neighborhood for our dog walks too, BUT we had a major ant issue in the bathroom. The first night it was just 1 or 2 we noticed, but on our 2nd night we had a full scale ant invasion and wound up having to use cleaning products we brought to kill them all. There were also these additional beetle type bugs we found a few of. It rained that night and I'm sure that had something to do with it, but place definitely needs a good exterminator. When texting the property owner/manager about it, did not receive any responses or apologies until after we left. If they can confirm this is taken care of, it would be a cute place to stay. But needless to say, our stay was less than great.
