About this property

Historic Pioneer Cabin in the Heart of Canyon Country

In 2015 we embarked to renovate this pioneer home, built approximately 1890 and 7 miles from its current location, into a cozy space with modern-day amenities while retaining its authentic appeal. It took us a year and a half to build a foundation, plumb and wire it, sand and scrub, build cabinetry from barn wood, oil and paint, build furniture, and locate period pieces that were suitable for the feel of the cabin. There is a claw foot tub with a shower handle and a large, private outdoor shower with hot and cold water.

The cabin is surrounded by gardens. Stunning views of the nearby mountains are seen from within the cabin and from the front and back porches. While relaxing on the porch it is common to see tractors slowly roll down Center Street to the neighboring fields to the south. The sights and sounds of chickens, horses, cows, sheep and the multitude of bird and insect species fill your senses. The night skies are one of the darkest skies in the U.S. A multitude of hiking trails for all levels of experience are only minutes from the cabin. Escalante Petrified Forest State Park, 5 miles west of the cabin, offers opportunities for fishing, boating, swimming, picnicking and hiking.

As our guests, you have access to the use of the cabin, relaxing in the gardens, and harvesting fruit or veggies for your meals when available. If you need the use of a washer or dryer, please contact us. We are willing to share our personal appliances.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband, Bob, and I moved to Escalante in 2015 after retiring from our jobs in Southern California. We both love the outdoors and in particular Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. It took Bob a year and a half to renovate the cabin, and he did so with thoughtful consideration to the history of this place and attention to detail. I created the interior embellishments.

We both love a simple and quiet life. We raise puppies for Canine Companions for Independence to become service dogs for others. Not all puppies graduate with honors to become service animals. We have a waggy-tailed, "change of career" dog named Cabernet. She will not bother you unless you want a friendly kiss or a stick toss.
