About this house rental
Sunny, open-plan, small modern home at the edge of Boulder Town, literally minutes from world-class hiking, outdoor adventures, and creative/mindful pursuits. Nestled into a hillside, this quiet, restful space intended for couples or individuals provides elevated views of the surrounding mesas and Boulder creek.
After a day of exploring the incredible landscape and features of the Escalante Grand Staircase, Capitol Reef, or any of the myriad nearby attractions, fall asleep with a blanket of silent stars overhead and cool breezes from your large windows. On a chill Fall evening, cozy up to the wood-burning glass front stove or head out to enjoy some of the most spectacular sunsets this planet has to offer.
The house grounds are beautifully surrounded by meandering flagstone walkways and patios among juniper and low piñon trees, creating a sense of privacy while inviting sweeping vistas of the area. This home is recently completed with continuing improvements to the property at large.
The property is well-situated off highway 12 at the edge of lovely Boulder Town, providing quick access to its amenities, including a couple of excellent restaurants, the rich Anasazi State Museum, and basic grocery / fuel needs.
Please be aware, the terrain is rough and the driveway is narrow and steep, with a tight-circumference loop at the top of the drive. Motor homes, vehicles with trailers, and some oversized vehicles will need to make alternate parking arrangements else where.

Beautiful house on a hill overlooking the fields and Boulder surroundings. Well-furnished with nice amenities. Fabulous night sky view from the patio. Directions and instructions were very accurate. Be aware that there are a lot of glass windows throughout the house with no shades, curtains, or blinds (except for curtains over one of the bedroom windows.) This was not a problem for me as I loved the the views and the light, and there really is no privacy issue there with no nearby neighbors having a view into the house. There are limited eating choices in Boulder, so I brought my own food and enjoyed eating at the house. The house is just two minutes from the Burr Trail Scenic Backway, which in my opinion has the most beautiful back road scenery I have ever experienced anywhere. I drive this 35 mile road whenever I am in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

Snagged availability last minute for one night for my husband’s birthday. Well worth the drive from the Ogden area in Utah! This place is even better than expected! We loved it! Would definitely recommend it and would definitely stay again! Be sure to check out Hell’s Backbone Grill, which is just a few minutes drive from this place. It was fantastic. What a fun little vacay!

This place has such incredible views and so private. We love how there’s a super close Mini mart and coffee truck across the road and only few mins away from the Trailhead of Lower Calf Creek. Almost everything you need is provided and so cozy. Love the open plan and pieces of art, also instruction are well provided we just wish that we were able to use the fireplace and would recommend for the host or owner to provide atleast blinds for all the windows. The front door bolt also wouldn’t lock so we’re not sure if host is aware of that Overall, we would love to stay here again

Fantastic home in a beautiful location. I felt like we were staying in a piece of art! The location is close to amenities, but far enough from the main road to keep it's privacy and peace. I would stay here every weekend if I could. Right in the middle of several gorgeous Utah State Parks so you can vary your itinerary easily. Can't beat snowshoeing in Dixie National Forest, sightseeing in Capital Reef, & coming back to viewing a gorgeous view of the night sky from the patio in the same day! Highly recommend those location. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The home is beyond beautiful with inspired art, decor, and home layout. The property is picturesque with a view of the nearby mountains which feed the grand staircase. A short drive to the national reef made this convenient for visiting local state and national parks. It is also a 1 min drive, 2 min walk from the only grocery and gas station in the vicinity. The hosts were beyond gracious, communicative, and proactive. I cannot recommend this stay or host enough, and if you have the opportunity, I suggest you jump at the chance to spend some time at this idyllic home. Thank you, Sarah!

Loved our stay here while we hiked in the area. Home has huge windows with beautiful views, fully stocked kitchen, comfy bed. Enjoyed sitting out on the patio too. Hills and Hollows market had most of what we needed for food and beverages. Ate at Burr Trail Grill, highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home—it’s very cozy, comfortable, quiet, and in a great location for exploring the surrounding canyons, hiking trails, and scenic drives.

This house is so well-designed, in both its interior and exterior spaces, to take advantage of its location. It was very well-equipped, and had all that we needed for our visit. Its location, near to both excellent local restaurants and to lovely wild spaces in this area, is hard to beat. Highly recommend!

The location was remote but property manager had told us about the lack of grocery stores and choice of restaurants. Since we were sightseeing most of the day, we worked our meals around our travels.

We loved our stay at this property. It was clean, well furnished and better than the pictures show. The house is very well designed and we were impressed with the layout and the simple yet tasteful decor as well. It sits on a peaceful hill with stunning views of the Boulder valley. It’s location was perfect for our day hikes to the many stunning ares between Boulder and Escalante. We will certainly be back!

A gem of a property on a perch in Boulder. Views from every window. Modern design. High end furnishings. Back patio with eating area and fire pit a huge plus. Ambient river sound drowned out any road noise. Comfy bed in semi-private bedroom. Pull out couch needs a 1” memory foam cushion option to smooth over the seams. Tech is great with Bluetooth receiver/speakers being a nice touch. Wireless phone chargers in the bedroom were helpful.
Close to Burr Trail. An hour from CR. Just minutes from Calf Creek (recommend visiting an hour or two before dusk to avoid the crowds). So much to do and see.
This was such a comfortable stay, we took some extra time off from exploring just to hang out on the back patio.

It was so quiet and in the country just outside of Boulder Town. We watched deer come thru the property on a few mornings. The house and patio are very comfortable and well decorated. Very Zen type feeling.

Perfect location to explore three of the most beautiful places on Earth: Grand Staircase/Escalante National Monument (very close), Capitol Reef National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park (both a little more than an hour's drive). We loved the remoteness of the area, the clear skies - especially at night, and the well-stocked kitchen.

Great spot. Quiet, lovely view, and all the necessities for a home away from home. Owner’s restaurant recommendations and grocery suggestions were right on. Would definitely do it again.

We loved our stay at this beautiful place!! It was clean, cozy, and a perfect home base for our adventures. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The view is truly stunning! We would love to come back in warmer weather to enjoy the outside space more. We visited in March and it was a little snowy, but beautiful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views out the large windows were lovely. The house serves as a great base camp to explore all the surrounding areas. The snow storm that came through just added to the beauty!

Residence is sleek, elegant, comfortable. It’s like a mirage after traversing the windy and steep climbing mountain roads, is this real? Quite a wonderful and very welcoming sanctuary.
