Absolutely beautiful home and the location was amazing. Our view from the dining table at breakfast set such a positive mood for the rest of our day and star gazing at night was such a treat to us city dwellers! The home itself had beautiful touches of stone and tile which added to a comfortable esthetic stay. We loved it! A nice added feature is the close proximity to Kiva Coffee!! We loved it.

Just an amazing home. Beautiful inside, stunning grounds. Remote location in the Escalante River valley, but 20 minutes to the town of Escalante for coffee and food. Easy communication with the host. A definite place to come back to.

Stunning setting; beautiful house

My husband and I invited our good friends (another couple) to join us for several days in this beautiful place. The setting is gorgeous with the red rock walls, cottonwoods, Escalante River nearby and dark skies at night. We hiked from the house itself as well as from trailheads a short drive away. We enjoyed cooking together in the well stocked kitchen and hanging out on the lovely deck. The beds were comfortable. The house is very welcoming and lovely !

Amazing place

It's hard to imagine a better location for a vacation rental. This was our second time staying here and we hope to be back again. The house and location are unique and memorable--it feels like you're camping in your own corner of canyon country, but with all the comforts of a modern home. If you can stay here, do!

Beautiful home, unbelievable canyon location!

This was such a dream location for our family trip to Grand Staircase-Escalante. The home itself is beautifully designed and decorated. Cozy, comfortable, an amazing fireplace, great beds, everything you need for your visit, and views out *giant* windows in every direction. It's only upstaged by the towering red canyon walls it is surrounded by -- really, hard to describe in words how stunning the location is. Great hikes out the door, or short drives to trailheads, petroglyphs, and even dinosaur tracks. We feel very lucky to have stayed in this home, and cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking for a special experience in the heart of the monument!

Got away from it all!

What a special home this was to get away from the bustle of life! The river crossing to get to the home was exciting. We found hikes to explore every day with some of our favorites leaving right from the property. Definitely check out Phipps Arch! Some of our favorite things were wading in the Escalante River every day, dinner at Hell's Backbone Grill after hiking Upper Calf Creek Falls, and sourdough pizza lunch at Escalante Outfitters after hiking Lower Calf Creek Falls, staring out the window from the comfy bed, a roaring wood fire when the temps dropped and the amazing views from all windows in the home! It was the perfect spot to play card games with our kids, read, and do a puzzle to pass the time!
