Great Stay! Scenic Views

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!

It was okay

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.

Beautiful place to relax and explore

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.

A unique and beautiful house and site

We loved our stay at Birch Creek house. The layout of the rooms and large common area were perfect for our family - my husband, me, our two children, their spouses, and our two grandchildren ages 5 and 7. The children loved the creek. The location was great for exploring Escalante NM and Spencer (host) was wonderfully responsive.

Perfect adventure base for a crowd

The house is beautiful and spacious, a perfect location to feel secluded without actually being far from town and trails. We had two families together with 8 teenagers and 4 parents, and everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The main living area had plenty of room to spread out. The host was quick to respond when we had a few questions. Perfect lodging in every way!

Love this house SO much!!

I almost wished there weren't so many amazing places to visit near Birch Creek House! I loved it at first sight and wanted to live there more each day ..... just reading in the hanging chairs all day and sitting by the gas fire all night. Every single thing is first class and the setting is perfect. The only thing we wished for was a few reading lamps inside and more places to hang clothes and towels. (I promised my friend I'd mention that but don't hesitate to stay in this house .... close to so much natural beauty .... you can find a spot for your towels and clothes!)

Gorgeous modern home in Escalante

This modern lovely 3 bedroom - each with its own bath - home on beautiful Birch Creek in Escalante was just what we were looking for as part of our Utah hiking trip. We were 3 retired couples and everyone was very comfortable. The view of the cottonwoods in brilliant Fall yellow through the huge glass panels was spectacular and the outside gathering place charming and comfortable with a pretty glass fireplace. We all just loved it and Spencer was fast to communicate and very helpful. Highly recommend.

Beautiful home

Beautiful home set on a creek. We loved the large windows! We were surprised that the highway was across the creek, and that the waterfall near the home is a bit dangerous and not a place for kids to play as we hoped. But playing in the creek next to the home was fun! Be aware that the 4th sleeping area is the living room on the couches. They are not pull out beds but there are three of them and they are comfortable for individual sleeping. The rest of the beds are comfy and wonderful as is having a bathroom for each bedroom. The kitchen is well stocked - only salt and pepper for pantry items at this time. The managers are quick to respond and friendly. It was a wonderful get away place for us!

Great Stay

Mix of family members meeting here and using for a launching point to Bryce Canyon NP. Worked great. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need to make your stay a pleasurable one. They have a long list of rules, but when you think about it, they're all reasonable. And anyone who thinks otherwise is probably not too keen on keeping their own things nice. The owners have gone out of their way to do everything they can to make this place feel comfortable and practical. Well, if you don't mind driving. It's not exactly in suburbia, but if you're looking here, then that's probably what you're after and is actually a part of the appeal. I took a couple walks in the morning down the dirt roads just because I could. Well worth the time to do so. Be sure to check out the waterfall by the entry road in the morning for the best pictures. One last note, on your way in or out, be sure to drive Hwy 12 (in the daylight hours). It truly is a scenic road and could well be a destination in itself. Thank you Rex's for allowing us to have a great stay.

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Rex

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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!

What makes this property unique

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
