Comfortable, clean house convenient to all the sights around Escalante
I wasn't sure what it would be like to stay in a house so old (built around the turn of the century), but it was great. We stayed for around 3 weeks to do all the hikes/camping/backpacking I've been dreaming of doing in the Escalante area. It was the perfect home base for that. The owners have updated enough to make it comfortable (new hot water heater, central heating with Nest thermostat, fiber internet), while preserving the historical charm. You can read about the history of the house and family on the walls and it is very interesting. I brought my laptop and was able to work remotely from the house. The internet speed was great -- I did conference calls, etc. with no issues. The kitchen is pretty basic -- stove/oven are old, but functional, counter space is limited for food prep, but had everything I needed to do some cooking. My only suggestion for the owners would be to replace the TV. It has all the streaming apps on it (Netflix, Hulu, etc.) but the TV itself is SLOW. The internet is fast, so the streaming is not a problem, but just clicking around the apps on the TV is painful. Overall, we had a great stay.
