Hidden away in the majestic Tushar Mountains of Southern Utah lies a secret known to avid adventurers and peace-seekers alike: the “Canyon of Gold.” While Marysvale is famous for its history and trails, finding the perfect basecamp can transform a simple trip into an unforgettable legacy vacation. Enter Bullion Creekside Retreat, a premier destination that offers a unique blend of rugged adventure and upscale comfort.
Whether you are looking to conquer the legendary Paiute ATV Trail or simply want to listen to the whispers of Pine Creek from a hammock, this guide explores why Bullion Creekside Retreat is the top choice for Marysvale cabin rentals.
A Sanctuary in Bullion Canyon
Unlike typical lodging that sits right on the noisy highway, Bullion Creekside Retreat is tucked away in Bullion Canyon, often cited as the most beautiful area of Marysvale. The retreat sits on eight private acres of riparian habitat, surrounded by ponderosa pines, cottonwoods, and grassy meadows.
The location offers a rare luxury: silence. Far removed from the traffic of Highway 89, the only sounds you’ll hear are the rustling leaves, the calling of wild turkeys, and the gentle flow of the creek. It is a sanctuary where the air is crisp, the stars are bright, and the mountains rise dramatically on all sides.
The Luxury Cabin Experience
At the heart of the property is the “Canyon of Gold” luxury cabin. This isn’t your standard rustic shack; it is a fully equipped vacation home designed for families and large groups who refuse to compromise on comfort.
Spacious Living for Groups
The cabin features three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, capable of sleeping between 9 and 13 people comfortably. The layout is designed to foster connection, featuring a large living room with leather couches and a picture window that frames the towering Tushar Mountains.
- The Santa Fe Room: A master suite with a queen bed, walk-in closet, and electric fireplace, decorated in a warm Southwest Spanish style.
- The Westerner: Offers a queen bed with southern views of the forest and creek.
- The Bunkhouse: Perfect for kids or friends, featuring a bunk bed and additional sleeping options.
All the Comforts of Home
After a long day of riding or hiking, guests can prepare full meals in the modern, fully-equipped kitchen. Unlike many rentals that offer only the basics, this kitchen comes with full-size appliances, ample counter space, and all the cookware needed for a holiday feast.
The cabin also features Smart TVs with streaming capabilities and powerful central air conditioning and heating, ensuring your stay is perfect regardless of the season.

Upscale RV Camping on the Creek
For those who prefer to bring their own home on wheels, Bullion Creekside Retreat offers a distinct advantage over crowded commercial RV parks. The retreat features just three exclusive full-hookup RV sites.
This “micro-park” design ensures privacy and peace. You won’t be parked in a concrete lot surrounded by dozens of other rigs. Instead, you’ll be parked on the edge of the wild, with views of the Monroe Mountain range.
- Full Hookups: Includes 20A, 30A, and 50A power, fresh water, and sewer.
- Big Rig Friendly: Two long pull-through sites are designed to accommodate any size rig comfortably.
- Nature Integration: The sites are positioned to offer separation from the main cabin while still allowing access to all property amenities.
The Paiute Trail: Adventure at Your Doorstep
The crown jewel of Marysvale is undoubtedly the Paiute ATV Trail System, a 275-mile loop with over 1,000 miles of side trails. Bullion Creekside Retreat offers what every rider dreams of: direct ride-out access.
There is no need to trailer your machines to a trailhead. You can peel out of the driveway and be on the trail in minutes. The retreat is situated perfectly to access the high-mountain passes and the intricate network of canyons that make this system famous.
- No Trailering Required: Save time and hassle by riding directly from your cabin.
- All Skill Levels: Access easy scenic dirt roads or technical mountain climbs right from the property.
- Local Knowledge: The hosts are experts on the trail system and can provide recommendations for the best day loops.

Amenities for the Whole Family
While the dads and moms might be focused on the horsepower, Bullion Creekside Retreat is a paradise for children and those seeking relaxation. The property is designed as a private park.

A private stream, Pine Creek, flows through the property for 700 feet. Kids can safely explore the shallow waters, build dams, and skip stones. A dedicated playground features swings, slides, and a forest clubhouse.
