Parents, you might regret many things in life — but taking family vacations isn't one of them.
Vacations are money well spent, buying not just lodging and meals but something far more valuable: time together.
A recent U.S. Travel Association survey found that family getaways create the kinds of memories that children carry into adulthood, moments they'll reminisce about for years.
When planning your vacation, the experience should feel easy, with affordable rooms, clean accommodations, convenient access to sights and friendly service.
Add a free hearty breakfast to start the day, and you've got the recipe for a successful trip. Ruby's Inn brings all of this together.
If you're planning a fall family retreat to Bryce Canyon, here's why you should make your reservations as soon as possible.
Affordable for families
Vacations don't need to break the bank to be memorable. Ruby's Inn prides itself on offering comfortable lodging at a price families can feel good about.
With three different hotels and a variety of room types to fit various budgets, you can plan a trip that doesn't add financial stress.
Many guests note that the combination of quality and affordability is hard to beat!
Memories that last
Fall in southern Utah is one of the most stunning times of the year.
The crisp air, the striking red rock formations and the crunch of leaves underfoot make every hike a family bonding experience.
When you stay at Ruby's Inn, you're not just booking a room; you're setting the stage for memories that will last a lifetime.
And it might be the little things that stand out — the kids splashing around in the indoor pool after a day of adventuring, the family gathering around a free hearty breakfast, or just a simple walk in the beautiful outdoors. Every moment is meaningful.
Closest lodging to Bryce Canyon National Park
Location matters. Ruby's Inn is the closest lodging to Bryce Canyon National Park, meaning you'll spend less time in the car and more time on the trails.
That proximity makes it easy to catch a sunrise or sunset over the canyon, which are moments you won't want to miss. Instead of rushing back and forth, you can savor every minute inside the park and then relax knowing your room is just minutes away.
Easy to reach
It's fun to feel like you're traveling far from home without actually having to travel far from home.
Ruby's Inn is just three hours south of the Wasatch Front, making it a convenient road trip for families looking to maximize time together.
Skip the stress of air travel and enjoy the journey — scenic drives through red rock landscapes that build anticipation for what's ahead.
A free hot breakfast that makes waking up easy
Free continental breakfasts are common, but Ruby's Inn takes it up a notch with a hot breakfast included with your stay.
You're talking eggs, waffles, biscuits and gravy — the kind of fuel you need before tackling a hike like Navajo Loop or Queens Garden.
Parents love the value, and kids love that they don't leave hungry.
Family-friendly amenities
When the adventures wind down, Ruby's Inn still has plenty to offer.
The indoor swimming pool gives kids a way to burn off extra energy, while parents can relax poolside.
There's also on-site dining, shopping and even horseback riding. It's the kind of place where you can build your entire trip in and around the lodge itself.
Plenty of room choices
No two families travel the same way, and Ruby's Inn has options for everyone.
Choose from double king beds, a double queen with a jetted tub, a king suite with an in-room spa, or even a two-room family suite with space to spread out.
Whether you want something cozy or something with a touch of luxury, you'll find it here.
Book your stay before the rooms fill up
Given all of its good points, it almost feels as though Ruby's Inn is somewhat of a well-kept secret in Bryce Canyon City.
What's not a secret is southern Utah's popularity for family getaways — especially during fall break.
That's why it pays to snag a room while you can. Otherwise, you might find your fall break turning into an uneventful staycation. Don't miss your chance to score a great room at a great price and create memories your family will never forget.
Book your room now to secure your spot and enjoy the ultimate family retreat at Ruby's Inn.
