Escalante Yurts - in Bryce Canyon Country

Exceptional stay! Once you enter the yurt, you feel as though you have been transported into a luxury hotel. The kitchen is well stocked, and the beds are very comfortable. The pastries left in the refrigerator each day were such a nice bonus and were delicious! The yurts are conveniently located to access the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and other hiking in the area. Would definitely recommend!

We were on a week long vacation seeing the National Parks in Utah. We were lucky enough to find this adorable place for the night. It was our favorite nighttime spots. It was in a great location, was very cozy and comfortable. I’ve wanted to stay in a yurt for awhile and this was above my expectations. The hosts waited for us to arrive and escorted us to our yurt, which was above and beyond our expectations. Breakfast was left inside our refrigerator so we didn’t have to feel rushed to get to breakfast before a certain time. Everything was at our leisure. Hosts were great, friendly and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place.

We stayed in the Aspen yurt for two nights in mid May. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend! Scott and Jan and the entire staff are fabulous, you can tell they love what they do and want you to have a great experience. We loved the cozy inside after a long day of hiking, and sitting on the deck in the rocking chairs relaxing after dinner. The attention to detail is so evident, as is the cleanliness and resort like feel on the inside of the yurts. When I left my jacket on the hook after departing, they were kind enough to mail it to me. There is nothing like enjoying the night sky on the deck as well. Just do yourself a favor and book it, and enjoy the cute town of Escalante. Be sure to do the slot canyons and Lower Calf Creek Falls!

We recently stayed for two nights in the Aspen dwelling at the Escalante Yurts. We loved it! It definitely had all of the amenities of a hotel room, but with the uniquesness fitting to the natural beauty of this area. The yurts were easily accessible and close to all of the natural attractions that the area has to offer. The breakfasts of pastries, fruit, and breakfast sandwiches (left in our yurt each day) were delicious and helpful as there are few restaurants in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

We had an amazing time staying in the Elm yurt. It was beautifully decorated and very clean! The morning breakfast was delicious and in our rooms for the next day so we can start early. Jan and Scott were so friendly and helped us plan our day touring. We rented a Jeep for 2 days also and it was delivered to our yurt. So convenient!! Beautiful property and so peaceful. Highly recommend Escalante Yurts for a unique experience.

If you're visiting Escalante or Capitol Reef, do yourself a favor and stay at Escalante Yurts—it's truly a five-star experience! We stayed in a large yurt with two queen bedrooms and a loft with three twin beds, which was perfect for our family. The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable.||The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware, utensils, dishes, and even had a small cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher. Each room had its own AC/heater unit, and the living room had cozy seating, a TV, and a small fireplace. The beds and bedding were top-notch—some of the most comfortable we’ve experienced.||Outside, we enjoyed the BBQ grill, plenty of seating, a campfire spot, tetherball, and hammock swings. It felt like luxury camping with all the comforts of home.||We were especially impressed by the thoughtful breakfast stocked in the fridge: Gatorades, breakfast sandwiches, fresh apples, and heavenly cinnamon rolls. Our whole family was blown away by the experience—it’s easily one of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed!

We took a 9 day NP family (7 people & 3 generations) vacation. We were never in any location more than 2 nights. Of all our lodging, the yurts were the absolute best! The beds were so comfortable, we all were able to get some much needed rest. The breakfast furnished each day was delicious. They also provided fruit & Gatorade. We stayed in Cottonwood and had plenty of room to spread out. Extremely relaxing atmosphere! It was nice to be able to spend an afternoon & evening in the hammocks, making s'mores, stargazing and making family memories.

Finding the yurts is easy and well sign posted. We enjoyed our stay so much, we actually extended our stay. We are impressed with the friendly service, helpful information and cleanliness. Where can you stay in a yurt that has TV, WIFI, your own bathroom, coffee facilities, microwave, fridge, clean sheets and air con (or heating)? Right here!! Towels and linens are super clean. Food provided is fresh and the outdoor facilities are well cared for. BBQ outside, Smores on request, Swing chairs to chill under trees, parking right in front of your yurt... Be aware - we might come back! :) We love it

For whatever reason my review got burried. I can't reiterate enough how great this place is. The yurt was really comfortable. The food was outstanding. The place was quiet and out of the way in a little tiny valley behind Escalante. The owners are SOOOO nice and accomodating. Honestly, I stayed here because of them and how sweet they are. I'd go back in a heartbeat though I think next time I'd love to get one of the bigger yurts. I can't recommend this place enough. Thanks Jan and Scott.

Amazing what they can fit into these yurts. They are deceptively small from the outside, but inside there are 2 rooms, a full bath, and 3 twin beds upstairs. There is also a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, cooktop, and lots of dishes. We enjoyed our accommodations, even though the beds upstairs should be used by children. I am a short, but still managed to hit my head a few times up there! Great hosts, excellent location, and lots of fun to stay in!

Wow! A yurt stay was on my (early) bucket list, and Utah has long been my family's very favorite vacation state, so my husband treated us all to Escalante Yurts. This resort FAR exceeded my expectations which were high to begin with. We stayed at Aspen (the name of our yurt). It was gorgeous. Very very roomy and beautifully decorated. Each day our fridge and basket were restocked with delicious bakery goodies. What a nice touch. The grounds were lovely, with fun hammocks, a fire pit, and plenty of room to roam. All set back so that all we heard were the sounds of nature and we were treated to a million stars at night. Jan and Scott were on hand whenever we needed anything and they were so friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. I 100% recommend Escalante Yurts if you're looking for a glamping experience in an absolutely beautiful part of the country and a vacation you won't forget.

This place is amazing to stay when you are in southern Utah. Definitely worth the money. Breakfast is dropped off everyday for the next morning. The owners and all employees are really friendly and helpful with anything you need. I highly recommend this place to stay especially if you are anywhere near Bryce Canyon, Petrified Forest or Boulder UT.

Wow. This is one of the most luxurious places I've ever stayed in. ‍ As soon as we pulled in, the owners made us come into the main office. We grabbed our keys and they gave us a map of the area.They also gave us breakfast for the next day which consisted of fruits, granola bar, and a quiche. We stayed in the Aspen yurt. Outside that you're at there's a small patio where you can sit down, a grill and your parking spot is right outside. Inside, the yurt is heavenly. It is well heated, and furnished with very trendy yet functional furniture including a refrigerator, a microwave a couch and a TV, a very comfy bed a dining table. Loved the bathroom: the shower added to the comfort. The bed had great linen a perfect down and was very comfortable to sleep on. Very close to Grand Staircase Escalante and a great place for you to retreat while hiking and exploring this are!

Sadly, we're only here for 1 night. This place is beautiful and run seamlessly. We arrived buy after the 4pm check-in but we were still greeted by a friendly face. The yurt is of pristine cleanliness and decorated quite nicely. We even had breakfast for the next day waiting for us. Not only are the Yurts perfect inside but the grounds are immaculate as well. The owners really thought of everything and are very responsive. Our next stay will certainly be longer.

Absolutely amazing accommodations! The Yurts are designed with the class of a 5 star hotel! Comfy, cozy, clean, peaceful, and... you will be greeted by quite a welcoming staff! You will not be disappointed with your decision to stay at this family owned and operated small business. Breakfast is included! We have stayed here 6 times over the past 3 years and have always enjoyed coming "home" to our yurt after a busy day of outdoor fun and adventure. I recommend you arrange to stay for more than one night as this area is rich in adventure, beauty, and history! Whether you like to go sightseeing, off-roading and/or exploring there is something for everyone here! You won't want to leave! Near Bryce Canyon and the Anasazi Indian Museum!

We absolutely loved everything about our stay! The yurts are beautifully appointed, very convenient and so cozy. Close to so much outdoor life, beautiful views, and a quaint town. We definitely recommend this stay option!

We enjoyed our stay at the yurts. You are going to drive for a while to get anywhere at all in that part of Utah, but the yurts are as conveniently located as seems possible. The owners are knowledgeable and willing to share suggestions for the area. Breakfast was better than the typical "free" hotel breakfast, but it's pretty sparse. If you have big eaters or are trying to fill up before a day of hiking, you're going to need to bring some additional food. My only pet peeve is that when you make a reservation for 4 people, 2 of them are going to be sleeping on the pull out couch. It was annoying to have to make up the couch bed ourselves at 10 pm, only to find that we did not have the right size sheets for the mattress. Mistakes happen, don't hold it against them. The yurts were great & we would stay there again if the opportunity arose.

LUXURY!!!! It was so cute, comfortable, great location both to the adorable town and for adventuring in the parks, and decorated and outfitted in a very high end way. The bed and bedding was like sleeping on a cloud. We stayed here in September and the temperature (AC) was delightful. It comes with breakfast- a great idea but... I definitely would recommend (and possibly stay here again) although it was quite expensive and depending upon what you are used to or expecting, it might be quite irritatingly noisy. You see, there was a multigenerational family staying in 3 cabins and in the evenings, they sat around the bonfire pit (near the covered area with hanging chairs). They thought it was fine if their kids ran chased each other while yelling, and used the chairs as swings. This went on both nights we stayed and very much impacted the peace and quiet we thought we'd find while staying in a yurt in the middle of nowhere. Here are the things that I hope they'd consider to make the stay (even) better. Clothing: It would be nice if there were some drawers to unpack clothes. The only thing we had was a standing coatrack. Also, it would be nice to have had hangars so that we could hand wash some clothes and let them dry outside/or a small clothesline and clothespins. If they don't want wash hanging on a clothesline, then at least hangars and a place to hang them inside. The light on the mini-split unit is VERY bright at night. Would have been nice had there been tape or a cover/cloth. And while I guess it's not possible to have a shade over the skylight, be aware on a full moon night, the yurt is VERY bright inside for sleeping. There was only 1 tiny bar of soap in the bathroom. We would have liked at least two so we didn't need to move the bar from sink to shower. Also tissues. Now for the breakfast: The menu sounds delightful, but the execution needs attention. Both days were fairly high carb, low protein, quite small meals. The quiche with goat cheese that put into the fridge was still frozen the next morning, making it soggy. The breakfast burrito with sausage was minuscule as was the fruit cup made up of 2 strawberries, a couple of grapes and a slice of orange- hardly worth the disposable plastic cup they were packed into. There was gorgeous looking pastries (chocolate croissants or something like that), but what really would have been nice would have been some low-fat, low sugar Greek, hard boiled eggs, and a sizeable portion of fresh fruit. Perhaps an choice would be helpful as perhaps people might prefer the "elegant" high carbs, low protein and appreciate the goat cheese and sausage, both of which are not in my diet). Also, we are decaffeinated and don't drink artificial creamer. So decaf tea and real milk would be greatly appreciated!

We stayed 2 nights at the Aspen yurt. I brought a few things I feel like I should bring for camping. What surprised me is that there was everything we needed inside our yurt. The decor is beautiful like a home. Jan brought our breakfast to our yurt everyday and it is a delicious morning meal. The room is comfy and the bathroom is much bigger than I expected for a yurt. Overall I am satisfied and I will recommend this yurt for everyone.

Wonderful accommodations, immaculate,comfortable beds, luxurious linens, and gracious hosts!

This place was so beautiful and the staff were appropriately distant but available! We got a welcome text and help with hiking suggestions, as well as restaurants. The interior of the yurt was gorgeous, very spacious and with restoration hardware vibes. It was the perfect socially distant getaway destination for my birthday! We lounged in the gorgeous yurt in the evenings and went hiking in Escalante Grand Staircase during the day! Highly recommend!

We took a last minute trip for Easter weekend and spent one night at Escalante Yurts in the Cottonwood yurt. What wonderful, interesting place to stay! The Cottonwood yurt was surprisingly large with two bedrooms (queen sized bed in both), a nice sized sitting areas with a sectional, table and a beautiful UHD TV with DirecTV service. There was also a nice kitchen area with a large table. There is also an upstairs loft area with three twin beds. The bathroom and shower were clean, modern with all the hot water and water pressure of a nice hotel. This place was surprisingly clean and modern on the inside, with a lot of camping like charm to the outside. The yurt also has a nice large deck out front with chairs for lounging around. There were quite an assortment of interesting space heaters (and air conditioners) throughout the yurt. As there were just three of us, this place was huge!

We enjoyed our stay at the yurts. Can't wait to do it again. Jan and Scott are wonderful hosts. It looks like a tent, but it's warm, cozy and a treat to stay in. Much more luxurious than a cabin. It was fun to take our telescope outside a few steps from the door. The dark sky was beautiful. We went into town and grabbed a wonderful pizza; and brought it back to enjoy in the yurt. Thanks Jan and Scott!

Being from Los Angeles, coming to a small town like Escalante, UT can be nervous but we were greeted with warm and kindness right away from owners Jan and Scott as soon as we arrived there for our check in. They were very informative of yurts life, points of interest, and made several suggestion of local dining locations. Escalante Yurts fitted for us best because it's in the middle between Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, and Zion National. Very kid friendly also. Our daughter truly enjoyed staying inside a yurt. Seeing deer running around outside and staying inside a yurt was definitely out of our comfort zone, but both Jan and Scott help made us comfortable and ease our fears. We cannot wait to go back and stay there again in the near future. Thank you both again.

This place is fabulous! We have been visiting the National Parks and have stayed in several hotels on our trip. Escalante Yurts surpasses all of our expectations. So much better than the other hotels we stayed at for much more $$. Do not fear the yurts! It's like lovely hotel with privacy, excellent service, and a great price. Do not consider it glamping! The yurts have a full bathroom, a kitchenette, a beautiful bed, cable tv, BBQ on each attached deck, fire pit, hammocks and so much more!!! We are in love with this place. If you are taking a trip to Bryce or Escalante, you would be well advised to come here. We wish we could extend our stay!!

My expectations were exceeded having had been cautious leading up to my reservation. Upon arrival, later at night, our reservation papers were waiting for us outside the front office with a lovely welcome note from the owners Jan and Scott. The directions were crystal clear and everything was turnkey ready - nothing had to be done or modified. For me, I travel quite a lot for work as a consultant and stay in a variety of name brand and unique one-off hotels, thus hold a high standard for a night away from my personal bed. To this point, Escalante Yurts is near the top of my list. I stayed in the Aspen Yurt: - Large and clean bathroom. Plush and plentiful towels. Ample soaps to use. - Large TV with satellite channels for a wide variety of choices. - Very comfortable mattress, pillows and sheets. - Decor jazzed the room up and really put it over the top. Escalante was a perfect in between stop when traveling from Zion to Moab. All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend staying here while visiting the national parks in Utah.

This place is incredible! The yurts are very nice and well equipped with anything you would need--microwaves, cutlery, coffee/tea, mini fridge and freezer, wifi and AC. It's the definition of "glamping" and the inside is so cute and comfortable!!! The best part is the homemade breakfast the owners bring you. The MOST delicious scones and croissants, breakfast burritos, quiche, fruit, granola bars and juice. I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone and hope to come back one day.

Amazing experience! The Yurt was gorgeous, the breakfasts were delicious, and Jan and Steve were extremely helpful and courteous. I highly recommend!!! Definitely something the kids will never forget. Thank you!

We loved staying at the Escalante Yurts! It was more than we ever expected! You could not ask for a more peaceful, gorgeous setting among the stars and red rocks. The beautiful rooms and service were superior quality, and we slept so well. The owners, Jan and Scott were very hospitable and made us feel like family. Our children loved exploring and playing on the property, relaxing in the swing chairs and taking outdoor (& indoor) showers! :) We were even able to make S'mores on the gas grill since there was a state-wide no burn policy. Thank you so much! We can't wait to come back to experience this bit of heaven again!

When I was crafting our family road trip, we added Escalante to our schedule purely because of Escalante Yurts! I saw that it was newly opened and already the reviews were coming in very positively. I had always wanted to stay in a yurt, but they were usually small (made for 2 people), and I have a family of 5. Jan (one of the owners, who was one of the nicest people you'd ever meet) met us when we checked in and brought us a tray of breakfast goodies the evening before, which consisted of fruits, oatmeal, and yogurt. She even catered to our food allergies, which was really awesome care. If we ever visit Central Utah again, we are definitely staying there again.

Wonderful family owned business! My husband and I were greeted with welcoming smiles after our long road trip here. The yurts exceeded my expectations and were truly luxurious. The beds were very comfortable, the scenery was beyond peaceful, & again the hosts were amazing. I wish we would have stayed longer than just 1 night. We will absolutely be back!!

Everyone was friendly and helpful at check in. The design put into the yurts were amazing. It was clean and tidy. The amenities on site were awesome especially the fire pit with wood provided. There was not a single thing to complain about. Just wish we could have stay longer then a day. Great ppl great place I highly recommend staying at Escalante Yurts.

Escalante Yurts were one of the highlights and saviors of our trip to Grand Staircase - Escalante National Park. The yurts were extremely clean, comfortable and so well decorated and thought out. The detail put into decorating and amenities was bar none. One of the nicest places I've stayed! The grounds were so inviting, you got to feel like you were in the woods with modern day conveniences like a shower. Beautiful fire pits throughout and lounge chairs to use. The was a grill at each yurt to cook outdoors. Fun hammock swings to use and a tether ball court. The property and amenities were one thing, but the hosts were truly wonderful. Jan and Scott run the property take care of each guests. Are extremely warm and inviting, very knowledgeable and helpful in the hike. They are also extremely kind hearted people. My daughter and myself for great exhaustion and couldn't finish the hike. My husband, son and our group who was also struggling with it and we had all ran out of water, continued on to find help. My husband and son made it out of the hike back to the car with enough reception dialed 911 for search and rescue, they were backed up and we unclear when they could come for us. The search and rescue team is made up of volunteers service the entire southern part of Utah, meaning this one team already had multiple searches ongoing before they could get to me and my daughter. My husband called Jan to ask some questions and without hesitation. They said they would come to help. They drove their side by side over an hour to reach my husband and helped my husband at dusk start to look for us. Luckily some good Samaritans were helping me and my daughter and connected with us on the way out. Scott brought his side by side to the top of the Ridgeline of peekaboo canyon and helped shave off 1 mile in the journey back to the car which at this point was dark. Scott and Jan helped save our lives that night. So eternally grateful to them and all the good people who helped us finish our hike that day.

Staying here makes you re-evaluate your life and think how you can live in a yurt or at least create your own yurt village. Our stay was relaxing and just what we needed after aches and pains of hikes and several bad nights in motels. This is a destination as is the Escalante area. The hosts (Scott & Jen) are awesome and the breakfast they provided in the room each day was outstanding (baked goods and stuff in the fridge you could heat up in the microwave like breakfast burritos and quiche). We used one of the firepits one night to have smores. The sky at night is really dark so you can enjoy the views of the spur of the galaxy we travel on. The room was really comfortable and the linens were luxurious and our sleep in thee dark, quiet location was so restorative to body and soul. Our kids loved it and were thrilled to stay in a yurt (although they thought they'd be roughing it more with a bunch of Yak skins - too many nature shows on Mongolia).

STAY HERE!!!! This is a true gem and you will find yourself planning your next trip back during your stay. Yurts are beautiful we stayed in the small and the large yurts. Both were fabulous, luxurious and a true escape after a long day hiking. Kids loved the rope swings, fire and we all loved the swings. We ended up canceling our reservations in Bryce to stay longer. You feel as though you are home, Jan and Scott have thought of everything and are the warmest most welcoming people you can find. We will be back.

We recently stayed here. It is better than any hotel in the area I would highly recommend.

This place is the bomb!!! The owners are incredibly nice and welcoming. Great place to stop on scenic route 12 for a taste of luxury in the desert. Wish we could stay here longer!!!

I am absolutely in LOVE with this place!! Not only are all the yurts adorable, but the hosts are fantastic. They are super accommodating and even upgraded our yurt package for the fam! Our yurt was a much needed break from multiple nights of camping and it couldn't have fared any better. I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone seeking a yurt away from home.

Absolutely phenomenal. Highlight of our trip to Utah. The couple that run the place really care, and they go the extra mile. The warm blueberry muffins were phenomenal. Their cat greeted us too! The bed was literally the most comfortable thing I have ever slept on. We stayed in the Ash yurt, which was very tastefully decorated, and very clean. Had a fridge, Keurig, fast WiFi, literally could not ask for more. We were most reluctant to leave. Could not more highly recommend. A must if you are going to Escalante.

I'd give more than 5 starts if I could! We spent a night in the Cottonwood yurt and it was spectacular. Scott and Jan were fabulous host. You should stay here!

accommodations in Escalante, Utah. Clean, comfortable and unique. This should be your only consideration when looking for accommodations.

The yurts far exceeded our expectations! The property is paradise, our yurt was comfortable and cozy. We loved the hanging tree chairs and fire pits. The owners are so sweet and hospitable. Can't wait to go back again!

Stayed at Escalante Yurts earlier this month. My husband and I stayed in the Willow, and my parents stayed in the Aspen. The yurts were beautifully decorated and had all of the amenities to make the stay comfortable (AC, luxury bathrooms, refrigerators, grills, microwaves, etc.). The owners clearly put a lot of TLC into the care of their property and each yurt -- they are super clean! To top it off, the beds were AMAZINGLY comfortable. (My husband and I have been wondering if we can replicate it at home since we left!) Highly recommend Escalante Yurts is you're looking for a quiet place to get away! One tip: groceries are difficult to come by in Escalante. Consider bringing them into town with you to make use of the grills on site.

I wish I could put 6 stars. This is a FIND! The hosts are gracious, the beds cloud like, and the yurts are cozy. We will defiantly be coming back.

During our trip in July 2017, my family really enjoyed staying for one night at Escalante Yurts in our trek across Utah. Scott and Jan are incredible hosts. We enjoyed talking to them around the fire that they prepared for us (they just came out to say hello, we insisted that they stay and chat). Our girls are talking about our yurt stay about a year later, so this memory is one worth checking out for yourself if you're in the area!

We booked this last minute as we were passing through Escalante. It was the only place available at the time. I am sure glad we were able to stay here. We had a great time the yurts are so beautiful and posh. VERY clean!! Definitely 5star. I can't even call it "glamping" because it's so nice. The owners were very kind and generous. The chocolate chip muffins she made for us for breakfast were delicious. We will not be staying anywhere else when we come to this area! Escalante Yurts only for us!!

Exceeded my expectations. The yurts are so much cooler in person and are so fun to camp in. Very secluded but central to all the fun activities here in Escalante. Definitely coming back!!!

This was a serious high point of our 2 1/2 week trip out West in July. Jan and Scott took excellent care of us and our two girls, spoiled us every second, and even sat down to join us for s'mores and fun conversation. The atmosphere was relaxing and exciting all at the same time. This is a MUST for couples and families alike. DON'T MISS THIS PLACE!!

This place was wonderful! A cozy little hideaway and perfect basecamp for exploring one of the most beautiful places on earth! The yurt I stayed in was spacious and very comfortable. The staff was very sweet and friendly, a true family establishment! If you want to come see the otherworldly canyons of the Escalante and have a rustic and relaxing place to crash with your family or friends, I highly recommend this place.
