About this property

The Little House

The modern conveniences of The Little House sharply contrast the old-fashioned construction. Original rough sawn ceiling joist are exposed, with the builder's layout marks clearly visible on the ceiling highlight the main living area where you can relax on the sofa. Along with the flat-screen TV, scorching fast 1 gigabit per second fiber internet (1000 Mbps) is available for streaming.
The space
After a day of exploring the mountains or desert around Escalante, wash the trail dust off in a warm shower and let your muscles recover during a peaceful nights rest on the queen size bed. Open the windows at night to experience the 30-40 degree cooldown from the warm temperature of the daytime and the night sounds of a rural community. View the expanse of space from the back patio. When hunger strikes, the well-equipped kitchen boasts a to-scale fridge, range, microwave, sink, and plenty of dishware, so it won't be a struggle whipping up some of your favorite recipes in this small space. In the morning, make yourself a pot of coffee and head outside to watch the sunrise paint the walls of the Escalante River canyon or surrounding mountains.

Key Residence Features:
-Amenities include a well-equipped kitchen, window air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, quality linens & towels, large driveway, mountain views, a fire pit, and more!
-Quiet location - Enjoy easy access to small cafes, local stores, hiking, mountain biking, off-roading, hunting, fishing, and nearby state and national parks!

Escalante visit

We spent a few days exploring the slot canyons in the area. The Tiny House was a great base location and worked fine for the two of us. It would have been nice to have a couple more chairs for when friends stopped by.

Heavenly Little House

Our stay in Melani's little house was fantastic. We enjoyed reading the history of the house. I'm a big fan of perserving the past. The house was thoughtfully stocked and delightfully decorated. Melani and her family suggested a couple of great hikes in the area, and a wonderful place for dinner and breakfast. We hope we can stay in this heavenly little house again. Thank You!!!

Could not have been better!

I cannot recommend the little house highly enough. It is so well done. The couch is comfy, the bed is comfy, great pillows (and I’m a real weirdo about pillows). I loved the way it was decorated! Truly a perfect stay. You will not regret booking this place!

Little house was small in stature but huge in comfort and coziness. Only stayed one nite but could have spent more time for sure. Immaculate and well equipped. Had all amenities needed. Bed very comfortable.

Home away from home

We loved our weekend at The Little House. Home was very clean and welcoming. This small home had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable as if we were “at home away from home”. We will stay at The Little House again. Thank you Melani.
