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!
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!
The location of the house is perfect, my son loved playing in the river. And the hikes were unforgettable.
My wife wants to go back already. I would totally recommend this house to anyone looking to visit the area.
The property worked very well for a group of friends. Large central room and kitchen. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. All of cooking and eating gear you could need. Remember to bring your own coffee, sugar, tea etc.
It's one of the best Vrbo places we've ever stayed at. Beautiful, modern, and well stocked. Really clean, in a beautiful place with amazing views.

A wonderful home with great views — we loved the location because you are ‘in nature’ ,,, and the owners provide all the amenities you need to make your time in Escalente enjoyable.
We loved staying at this property. The home was very clean. Our son was in heaven playing in the private stream on the side of the property. A little star gazing proved to be more stars than I’ve seen in a long time.
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 quick getaway to the desert with family and this was the perfect house. We had 6 in our group, we were very comfortable, plenty of space. Loved the location, the outdoor living, beautifully appointed interior. Absolutely would stay here again.
Great house, very clean, but not the setting I imagined or anticipated. I imagined a house/cabin that had vista type views, here you’re down along a creek with your west views impeded my tamari’s and willows. We still had a great
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!)
This house is a modern, architecturally designed home. It was clean, well apportioned, and nice outdoor space. It was only my wife and I staying there so we had lots of room. It would be great for a large family gathering. Location, location, location.
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.
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.
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.
Such a nice property, private but close to town. My kids loved it and referred to it as the “fancy house.” Everything was perfect. Just need some bubble bath for that tub!

About the host
Hosted by Spencer Rex
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
