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 owners’ 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 don’t 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. We’ve marked this location as a place we would like to return one day and will tell others about!

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.

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!

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.

First of all, make sure your route does not take you on the 22 miles of unpaved road. It may be the “shortest” route on paper, but the other driver beat us And didn’t have to endure that bumpiness. Plus no one was on the unpaved road so we were constantly worried that if something happened, we’d 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. It’s just iron so the hosts said it’s harmless, but we still had to go into town to fill our water bottles since 3 of the 5 adults couldn’t 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t have these instructions. Finally, I’d say this home really is better for 8-10 people, not 12. Those leather chairs that fold out into small beds aren’t too comfy and in one room, there’s 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 couldn’t 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.

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.

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
