Plan an adventurous escape to this 3-bedroom, 2-bath vacation rental home for 6 in Escalante! This newly remodeled home is nestled in the center of town, just 1 block off main street, situated on scenic highway 12 between Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef National Parks, surrounded by the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. Travel in any direction for outdoor activities before relaxing on this home’s lovely porch with mountain views or kicking back on the patio with gas grill and fire pit!
From this ideally located home, you are in the perfect spot to enjoy a plethora of diverse recreational experiences.
Drive just 15 minutes to enjoy either the high alpine country of the Dixie National Forest or the colorful sandstone formations and inviting canyons of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
Head north from town to spend the day fishing crystalline lakes ringed by quaking aspen or hiking through meadows of wildflowers occasionally graced by pronghorn or elk in the Dixie National Forest. Or take off east to enjoy the surprising waterfalls and lush vegetation of Calf Creek.
Go west to discover colorful petrified wood or paddleboard the reservoir and admire migrating waterfowl at Escalante State Park. Journey south to explore the fanciful sandstone landscapes and sinuous canyons of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.
At the end of your day when you are done exploring the diverse natural landscapes, walk into town to enjoy a meal at a variety of restaurants. Enjoy an Americana atmosphere and menu at the Circle D Eatery. Grab a quick Subway sandwich or enjoy a family diner experience at Boots Cafe.
Take it easy after a day of hiking to marvel at some of the nearby scenic drives. Hells Backbone winds around the labyrinthine Box-Death Hollow Wilderness Area with heart-swallowing views and cooler summertime temperatures. The Burr Trail out of the nearby town of Boulder offers swirly red and white Navajo sandstone domes followed by the impressive towering red cliffs of Long Canyon which breaks out into the vast vermillion Circle Cliffs before plunging down heart-stopping switchbacks into the Waterpocket Fold of Capitol Reef National Park.

Clean, comfortable, and a perfect launch point for so much Escalante adventure. I loved the guestbook which had great recs from past visitors. Kitchen was well stocked. Host was super responsive. We will stay again!

The place was as described, its was roomy with 3Br, 2 baths laundry room and full size fridge and living room. Only issue was the outdoor grill was left dirty by previous renter. Otherwise i would score 5 star.

House was clean and the perfect size. Convenient location. Kitchen was nice. Super easy check-in. Escalante is middle of no-where. Small grocery store had a decent selection. Grocery clerk was very friendly. Great hikes in the area. We did Spooky and Peek-a-boo slot canyons on one of the days (bring a truck or jeep to get there), and lower calf creek falls on another. Super fun!
