The Birch Creek House is a 1900sqft, 3 bed, 3.5 bath house on 160 private acres 5 miles outside of the City of Escalante. The house is steps away from its name sake, the Birch Creek, which cascades down 2 waterfalls before joining with North Creek to form the Escalante River. The land borders Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. In addition to the double waterfall mentioned above, the property also features several pictographs, petroglyphs, cliff dwellings of past inhabitants.
Beautiful home and lovely back yard! This is a hidden gem! Very nice touches and wonderful open concept. Just outside of Escalante. Love, love, love this place! Thank you!!
The property was just perfect for our family. Excellent hiking in the area. This is a wonderful place to set up a basecamp for Escalante Staircase, Bryce Canyon and Capital Reef!
Beautiful home, comfortable for our family. Only issue was the slowness of the oven (temperature did not seem to be accurate or in agreement with the setting)
House was fantastic. Very roomy living area and bedrooms. Wonderful having 3 full bathrooms, especially after long days of hiking. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing location on a historical, family-run property.
Our multi-generational family ages 73 down to 2 enjoyed this property, and we especially enjoyed getting to meet the ownersâ mom, who also owns a bed and breakfast up the hill. We met Joette-Marie as we were walking up the hill to find petroglyphs and pictographs located on the property, and she graciously showed us a historical display and told us all about the archeological dig that was done on this location. There is quite this history just on this property alone. Beds were extremely comfortable, necessities like paper towels, shampoo and conditioner were stocked, and 2 washers and driers were a bonus! We especially enjoyed a dinner at home on the back patio and seeing the stars.Check out was a breeze, and you donât have a mile-long list of items you must do to check out like other rental units. Owners were very responsive to any questions we had about the property or surrounding area in advance and while we were there. Weâve marked this location as a place we would like to return one day and will tell others about!
We enjoyed the heck out of the Birch Creek House. We chose the Birch Creek House as base camp to enjoy the evening at while visiting Bryce Canyon and Captial Reef during the day. Location was excellent! Wish we could have stayed just a few more days to enjoy just the house itself. Design and Layout was fantastic. We will be back at some point and recommend the Birch Creek House to be your next place to stay!
Beautiful House but we were disappointed that it was a bit dirty... However, owner was very responsive and sent out to clean it immediately. The other issue was the "queen bed" in one of the guest rooms, it was actually two twin mattresses put together and it was super uncomfortable for one of the couple's to sleep in.
We were a group of 9 adults (all over 50 years old) staying at this gorgeous open-concept home in a very special location. Took our breath away the minute we set foot in the space. We all had a fabulous time and found the space conducive to our large group. We appreciated the bathroom supplies, the laundry access, outside stove, fabulous kitchen island, and overall location. We'd say it sleeps two couples comfortably (and those beds are very comfortable) and 4 kiddos sharing a room. The couches can also serve as beds, and there are plenty of linens to do so. We couldn't get a decent sleep on the other foldout lounges. Suggestion to anyone is to be ready to start your day at daybreak or bring eye shades: the picture windows are fabulous - amazing views of night skies and sunrises, but they are uncovered. Bathrooms - great! Kitchen amenities good. Overall, really enjoyable, and communication with owners was super easy.
The location of the house is perfect, my son loved playing in the river. And the hikes were unforgettable.
My wife wants to go back already. I would totally recommend this house to anyone looking to visit the area.
The property worked very well for a group of friends. Large central room and kitchen. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. All of cooking and eating gear you could need. Remember to bring your own coffee, sugar, tea etc.
A wonderful home with great views â we loved the location because you are âin natureâ ,,, and the owners provide all the amenities you need to make your time in Escalente enjoyable.
A quick getaway to the desert with family and this was the perfect house. We had 6 in our group, we were very comfortable, plenty of space. Loved the location, the outdoor living, beautifully appointed interior. Absolutely would stay here again.
First of all, make sure your route does not take you on the 22 miles of unpaved road. It may be the âshortestâ route on paper, but the other driver beat us And didnât have to endure that bumpiness. Plus no one was on the unpaved road so we were constantly worried that if something happened, weâd be stranded. The home is absolutely gorgeous. The bathrooms were incredible, the kitchen is just perfect. The waterfall was dried out so we were disappointed by that. And the culinary water tastes and smells terrible. Itâs just iron so the hosts said itâs harmless, but we still had to go into town to fill our water bottles since 3 of the 5 adults couldnât handle the taste or smell. The leather chairs do fold out into proper beds, but I had to text the hosts to get the YouTube link since it wasnât in the instructions. We think we finally figured out the oven, but it took double the time to cook something. Maybe a binder with sheeted pages explaining certain things would help. The QR code we scanned didnât have these instructions. Finally, Iâd say this home really is better for 8-10 people, not 12. Those leather chairs that fold out into small beds arenât too comfy and in one room, thereâs barely enough room to fold it out. So counting them as single beds is a stretch in my opinion. Also, the tv is placed so that a group of 10 couldnât even watch a movie together and the instructions do say not to move any furniture because it will ruin the cement coating. So not large group friendly.
This house is a modern, architecturally designed home. It was clean, well apportioned, and nice outdoor space. It was only my wife and I staying there so we had lots of room. It would be great for a large family gathering. Location, location, location.
Great house, very clean, but not the setting I imagined or anticipated. I imagined a house/cabin that had vista type views, here youâre down along a creek with your west views impeded my tamariâs and willows. We still had a great
I'm the luckiest man on earth. I'm the husband of an wonderful, beautiful woman named Ashley. We have 3 kids together, another on the way. I have an engineering degree however after 13 years of that, I decided to quit and do real estate full time. I love being an vacation rental host, I love hearing about how much people enjoyed what my brother and I built together.
I've been coming to this property since I was born, my family bought it about the time I was born. It's very dear to my heart. My brother and I decided to buy some land from my mom, the owner of the Slot Canyons Inn, and build a house on it. We put our heart and souls into the house, because the land is special to us and we wouldn't build anything but the best on it. Come enjoy the house we dreamed up and made a reality!
This property includes not only a river but also a double waterfall. How many vacation rentals include a waterfall?? In addition to that the land contains the oldest human habitation discovered on the Colorado Plateau. https://news.byu.edu/news/what-locals-ate-10000-years-ago
