10.0 / 10.0
This place saved us. We were not able to stay at a previously planned location, therefore, we booked this last minute. It was very clean, updated, and more than met out needs.
10.0 / 10.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this small tiny home community! Our home was so well made, clean, beautifully decorated, and the finishings were top notch! We had one that had a loft bedroom upstairs in addition to the master on the main level. It felt so spacious and open! The house had everything you could need - we were very impressed! We particularly loved the fire pit and mountain views! We only used the downstairs bedroom since it was just my husband and I and the bed was spacious and extremely comfortable. They utilized every inch of the place so well - you have room to store luggage and to hang items. We also loved the town of Escalante. Small, eclectic, had a few restaurants, a good sized grocery store. Our favorite was Escalante Outfitters - we had their pizza (they have other offerings) plus wine and local beers the first night, and we went back the next morning before our hike to find they were serving a breakfast buffet that was fantastic (they don't always offer breakfast so we got lucky) with the owner's personal recipes. We sat out on the patio and listened to a local artist play an instrument we'd never seen before. Very serene. There are a few other restaurants, but we did not get to try them since we only had one night there. The resort manager was very quick to respond to any questions and eager to help. Wish we had been able to stay longer! I cannot recommend these tiny homes more and would love to stay again!

PROS
1. Cute, stylishly decorated
2. Clean and tidy
3. The fire pit was fun! We made s'mores.
4. Located 3 blocks from shops/ restaurants in Escalante
CONS
1. Sleeping loft ceiling is VERY low. Even my kids couldn't stand up. We all had to crawl around on hands & knees. Because the ceiling is so low, you have to go down the stairs in an awkward crouch. Which leads to...
2. Dangerous stairs: The stairs to the loft are dangerous - steep, narrow with slick soft carpet. I slipped and fell all the way down the stairs and seriously hurt myself. I had to go the emergency room (1.5 hours away!) Ruined our trip.
4. Dangerous windows in the loft: The loft is hot and doesn't have its own AC. The loft windows are floor level casement window, with the mattresses right up against them. So if you open the loft windows, you risk that your child could roll out the window! The owners are aware of this: they put a sign on the window explaining this risk (rather than fixing the problem). So you have to choose between sweltering heat or putting your children danger of falling out!
3. There is No. Storage. No closet. No dresser. Nowhere to put your belonging. There's a nook under the bed for storing suitcases, but that's it. There is one pipe in the bedroom that seems to be for hanging things(?), but if you use it, you block both the mirror and the desk.
4. Half the wall switches don't work and the other half only work part of the time. Maybe some sort of electrical problem?

I stayed here with my family (spouse and two kids aged 6 and 10) on our way across southern Utah visiting the National Parks. This was a convenient location as far as a mid-point between Bryce Canyon and Capital Reef- a couple hours from both. There wasn’t much nearby as far as I could tell but we had everything with us that we needed (food, etc). My kids absolutely loved the Tiny House and had so much fun sleeping in the loft. I appreciated the cleanliness and convenience of being in a home vs a hotel. Thank you for a great stay!

Marvelous!
A perfectly stocked, perfectly sized tiny cabin home. The two 9 year old girls loved the loft and couldn't get enough of playing up there. The bathroom and shower were spotless. The kitchen was so well stocked. The surroundings were beautiful. What more is there to say?
