Special August Opening - Beautiful Guest Home in the Escalante Canyon

This property is part of a 160 acre private in holding in the heart of
The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, seated halfway
between Bryce Canyon National Park and Capitol Reef National Park.
Located where Scenic Highway 12 ('The Golden Loop') crosses the
Escalante River, it is the hiking trail head to the renowned Escalante
Canyons. The main home (see vrbo 228445) and guest house are the
only structures on the last 40 acres downriver before 75 miles of
wilderness area that runs all the way to Lake Powell.

This getaway is a quaint 2 story 1 bedroom, 1 bath river front guest
home that is perfect for two. The 700 sq. ft. home faces views of the
Escalante Canyon, meadows, cliffs, and river and sits in a lush
riparian oasis surrounded by 600 ft. sandstone cliffs. The guest house
faces away from the main house 600 ft. away, so as to maximize
privacy. Hike from the front door to first class scenic wonders.

Magnificent views can be seen from the living/dining area, and from
the fully equipped kitchen that has granite counter tops, cherry wood
cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The master bedroom with a
king bed is on the 2nd floor. The bedroom and 6x12 balcony have
beautiful meadow and red rock canyon views. The shower is an oval
glass mosaic tile walk in, no doors needed, with a colorful, local
river pebble floor. The walls of the home are plastered with the
beautiful red canyon sand. The home has excellent wi-fi and no TV. A
high clearance vehicle is preferable for the concreted low-water river
crossing (generally 1 ft. deep).

We are using CDC certified Covid-19 killing disinfectant spray called QA Solution for our guests safety.

Short stay
Very cool place to stay. Clean cabin and comfortable bed. I’d recommend getting there in the daylight, as we got there after dark around 8:30 and had trouble finding the cabin due to all the tall plants and flowers, and there was a car in every driveway. We drove back to town for service to message the host and she immediately responded to my message and helped us locate the cabin and explained the car parked there was one of the owners. I would stay there again. Thanks!

Wonderful house and beautiful property
My wife and I have been wanting for years to stay at the Calf Creek Ranch house. We've been coming to the area for decades--usually stay at the nearby campground or the Boulder Mountain Lodge. But this was special--expensive, but very special--especially during the eclipse!

Great Hiking house
Great property. The Hiking is wonderful right out the door. Very private and the upstairs bedroom is like sleeping in a tree house. You can see the stars from the bed. The weather was perfect so did not use the wood stove. Wish there was some window coverings for the hot sun. Thanks for all the tips on hiking and house facts. Our favorite restaurant was the Burr Grill. Hope to go back in the future.

Can a Canyon be perfect
This was our second stay and again, an experience ,we will never forget. The guesthouse like the main house is perfectly placed in the canyon with special thanks to the architect for his vision. We hiked the river both ways, calf creek upper and lower ,zebra slot and were very happy at the end of the day to return to the comfort of the guesthouse, hopefully we’ll be back soon

A unique gem of a guest house surrounded by some of the most pristine desert wilderness in S. UT. The home has modern comforts and decor that matches the sense of calm and peace you find outdoors along the Escalante River. Thank you for sharing your wonderful guesthome with us!

A Lovely Get-Away
This property was lovely in all ways and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was nicely appointed; cozy, & comfortable. The setting was beautiful, quiet and serene. The kitchen was well equipped, which we appreciated as we cooked all our meals in. Email communications with the hostess were thorough, professional and timely. The road in to the property is rugged and the river crossing was a bit intimidating, but we had no problems with our SUV. In our humble opinion, this property was pretty incredible.

We stayed for a winter weekend and had a wonderful time. The secluded canyon is magical and the house had everything we could want. We explored Zion and the peak-a-boo and spooky slot canyons which were out of this world. Will certainly be back!
