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!

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

Oasis in the desert
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.

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!

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.

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.

Family fun in a New Area
The place was great. We had our whole family there, from baby to seniors. We were three families and grandparents coming together. We have never been to that area of Utah and there is so much to see. The home was well equipped, and perfect for our kids and grand-kids to enjoy. The stream was fun, and waterfalls cold, but access was not easy. The kids helped each other and the little ones. They enjoyed it very much. The oven didn't work, and he forgot to tell us, but the owners were able to help us out with our meal. (stove top worked). Nice grocery store in Escalante. Had a great meal at Boulder, at the bend on Rte 12, and corner where you start the Burr Trail. Food and service was great! We enjoyed ourselves sitting by the fire, kids playing in the stream, hiked Lower Calf Creek Falls, and ran around the Devils Garden. We loved the open concept and comfortable rooms. Thanks again for helping us when we had a question. Definitely would come back, because there is more to see and explore.

About the host

Hosted by Spencer Rex

Host profile image
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
