Wild location. Can’t beat it. You can creek walk from your door. Great unique comfortable cabin. Lots of interesting and informative things to read. Fun for kids. Close to Hells Backbone and a very cool coffee shop.

This is a really nice house in a wonderful location. We very much enjoyed our stay. It is not well stocked (the coffee pot didn't work), so plan accordingly.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Canyon House. Was exactly what we were looking for. House is in such a beautiful setting. Well stocked. Loved our evening fires. Had amazing meals at Hells Backbone Grill and Sweetwater Kitchen. Kiva Koffeehouse was excellent also. Hikes, road trips and stars at night. Highly recommend!! Thanks for sharing your home.

The view of the night sky was excellent. It was the location that caught my attention. Definitely off the beaten path. Private. Eating dinner on the porch was my favorite. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. I would love to spend a week there.

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!

Unlike any place we have stayed. Red rocks out back door and the serenity of Utah's best 360 degrees with the Escalante River.
