About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Emilee and myself, Elaine, are sisters and we own and operate Dora's Country Cottage. This house was originally built by our great grandparents. We are following our grandparents footsteps by being business owners. We also own Prairie Star vacation house and Cowboy Country Inn. We love Escalante and sharing it with our many guests that come from around the world to explore the area.

We are originally from Escalante and moved away for a few years but Escalante has always been home. We are both retired school teachers and being back home is a dream come true. Moving back home has provided us the opportunity to live in a great small town and enjoy all that it has to offer. The people that live here are great people. Living the slow-paced, country-style living is amazing!

Being a small town we are limited with grocery shopping so we suggest to stop at a bigger town if you need specific items.

Dora's Country Cottage is a great place to have a one night stay OR better yet, is to have multiple nights stay! This property is centrally located so you can go in any direction in Escalante and spend many days exploring then returning to Dora's place to rest and relax!!!!
