Roomy and fun!

This house was just right. We felt like we were out in nature and yet Escalante was nearby for a convenient place to get food. It was clean, roomy, and very modern feeling. We really had a very fun time staying there. Also 2 washers and dryers were a big help with our large group.

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!

Birch Creek

We stayed three nights and loved the property. We were active during the days hiking and exploring the area and loved to come home to a beautiful property to relax and cook dinner in the state of the art kitchen and enjoy the outdoor fire pit at night. The property is well situated close to town and National and state parks! We highly recommend this VRBO!

We enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous home with large windows and light. The kitchen and gathering area is open and spacious. Every bathroom has its own bathroom. A nearby creek my grandkids could explore in and a waterfall so refreshing on a hot day. Would recommend for any kind of groups.. hiking and beauty all around.

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.

Beautiful Views

Our family of six fit comfortably in this rental but it can easily fit more. My kids spent hours in the eggshell chairs on the patio. As the week dried out, we were able to visit more and more of the local trails. We will have to come back and when we do, we would choose Birch Creek House again.

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!

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.

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!)

Great Jump Off Point

We spent three nights at the house. The house was clean and comfortable. It was nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom, and having two sets of washers and dryers made it easy to wash clothes from our previous hikes at zion. The creek was so much fun for our kids to play in and provided relaxing background to morning coffee. This was a great jumping off point for continuing to explore Utah. From the house, we did a day trip to Capital Reef (about an hour and a half drive or so), Bryce Canyon (about an hour drive), and had a day in Escalante relaxing and going to the nearby state park to rent paddle boards.

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.

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.

Modern house close to Escalante town

This house is architecturally very interesting - high ceilings, concrete floors. Minimalist in decor. High end appliances, sheets, pillows. We were there This house is architecturally very interesting - high ceilings, concrete floors. Minimalist in decor. High end appliances, sheets, pillows. We were there when the temperatures at night dropped into the 40's and the floors and large bathrooms felt cold. There is a gas firepit outside which was a nice feature but provided no heat. A stream runs by the property- a nice feature- but also a major road, Hwy. 12, does too. You cannot hear the traffic inside but does distract from the outdoor ambiance. The kitchen has all the utensils, dinnerware, pots and pans you could when the temperatures at night dropped into the 40's and the floors and large bathrooms felt cold. There was nothing in the kitchen in the way of napkins, storage bags or foil or things like that. No basics like sugar, salt, etc. so you need to bring everything you need.There is no cabinet space for your items.The house is set off by itself so lots of privacy. It is near a pretty good restaurant.The hosts were very responsible when we needed help with the fire pit operation and when electricity went out over the whole town.
