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!

Stay of a lifetime!
This is such an incredibly unique and beautiful and private property. Hosts were more than responsive and gracious. The home is remote so be prepared, but that’s what we wanted, and it was everything we could imagine and then some.

This is an amazing property. We felt privileged to enjoy our time in this very special corner of the spectacular Escalante area. The builders/owners deployed artistic and naturalistic flair to create a fantastic retreat in the middle of a cottonwood grove and red rock canyon. The extra touches, books and art were a pleasure. We would love to spend a month there if we could. Highly recommend.

Pure relaxation
We love the home and the area. This is our second stay at this home, and we stayed for ten days to have a real getaway. If you are considering this home, book it! It will exceed your expectations. We want to come back. The descriptions, if anything, understate the experience here.

What more to say?
We can't add a lot to what other reviewers have written about this property. Absolutely amazing location. Beautiful and unique home. Close to great hiking and dining. We want to return and listen to the wind in the trees, see the colors change on the cliff face, and lounge in the spacious (and comfy) living room. Each room gives a different view of the gorgeous surroundings. Can't wait for our next visit.

Possibly The Most Beautiful And Secluded House In The Escalante
It was a great pleasure to stay here. The custom carpentry and stonework were delightful. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are on opposite sides of the great room, ensuring privacy for two couples. The house, with its large deck, is shaded by a cottonwood grove, and huge windows look out to the Escalante River canyon and to wild EGSNM lands. The kitchen had everything, within reason, that one could want, right down to a large dutch oven. We can't wait to go back.

Great house
This is an amazing property if you want to truly get away from it all. Great views and private. It should be noted that there is a river crossing so high clearance and AWD is a must. The drive is narrow and impossible to avoid all shrubs rubbing. Some minor issues but all resolved with the owner just down the drive. Great responsive owner with great local stories and experience hiking.

Perfect
This house is ideal for stay in the Escalante area. It is about mid-way between Escalante and Boulder so perfectly located for exploring the whole vast area. The home is really perfect - well designed, fully and thoughtfully equipped and very very comfortable. Katie and Doug are fabulous. We will try to figure out a way to get back as there was too much to explore to cover it all in one trip.

This was my second stay at this property and it was wonderful. This is such a serene and beautiful place and I am grateful to the Howland family for making it available for us to enjoy. The area is wonderful for exploring and we did, but just relaxing and enjoying the view from the deck was what tempted us some days. The house is wonderful and equipped with everything one could ask for. The back window wall is amazing. The views from every room are great. Such a special place. Thanks Katie! Can't wait to come back again!

Best of Escalante/Grand Staircase right outside your door
An amazing house in an amazing location! We had a great time here. You’re right in the middle of everything that makes visiting the area great: beautiful canyons, the river, the outdoors. It was so peaceful and quiet. Our kids loved all the critters and spending time in the river. The water crossing was easy in our Outback, the sand afterward might be challenging for some cars. The house stayed wonderfully cool during the day despite the summer temps outside. It is a good ways away from everything, but that’s what we wanted.
