2 Bedroom House in Escalante

The SaltBrush Casita is a 740 square-foot two-bedroom retreat tucked beneath cliffs less than a half mile from the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Completed in 2025, it provides comfort, breathtaking scenery, and solitude within a five-minute drive to Escalante town.
Blending with the native landscape, the Casita is a two-bedroom art-filled refuge built around a great room with soaring 18-foot ceiling. The plush sofa sleeper and comfortable armchairs are arranged around enormous windows framing the National Monument and the red cliffs of Boulder Mountain.
The full kitchen has everything you’ll need to prepare meals when not dining out. It has quartz counters, a dining table, fridge, and stainless steel appliances, including a range, microwave, and dishwasher. We also provide a Nespresso machine with coffee pods, tea kettle and tea, French press, toaster, cutlery, cooking utensils, stainless steel cookware, and barbecue tools. Spices, oils, vinegars, and sugar are in the cupboard. We even provide snacks and cold beverages. Most of the stoneware is made by Brett, the owner and an Escalante potter who has a studio on the property.
The separate main-floor bedroom has a cozy queen bed with soft Pima cotton sheets. Wake up to the view of the morning sun climbing the cliffs that rise directly behind the house. There are plenty of hooks to hang your clothes and gear.
The full bathroom is a great place to clean up after a day exploring. The bathroom has a tub, shower, Toto bidet, plush cotton towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, hair dryer, full-size washer and dryer, and laundry detergent.
A spiral staircase takes you to the open loft which overlooks the great room. The loft has a full-height ceiling and its own bank of huge windows, providing panoramic views of the Monument and our famous high-desert landscape. Sleep beneath Pima cotton sheets in the comfortable queen bed.There’s also a closet for your clothing and gear.
The shaded patio is nestled next to giant boulders at the base of the cliffs. Relax in the Adirondack chairs and enjoy the warmth of the hammered-steel propane fire pit while dinner cooks on the Weber grill.
The SaltBrush Casita has heat, air conditioning, WIFI, HD smart TV, ceiling fans, key pad for self check-in, and a 240 volt power outlet (NEMA 14-50R) for charging an electric vehicle. The sleeper sofa in the great room can accommodate a fifth guest.Outside the front door there is a Nest doorbell that can record external audio/video and be used to communicate.
Utah has the highest concentration of certified International Dark Sky Parks and Communities in the world. Whether you’re a stargazer or night-sky photographer, SaltBrush Casita is the ideal place to experience the starscape. During the day, explore our eight acres, which include a small slot canyon and an abundance of wild flowers and grasses, Utah Juniper, piñon, and other native flora.
Perfectly situated, the SaltBrush Casita is the ideal base for your adventure. With colors transitioning through yellows, oranges, and reds, the Escalante area has some of the most scenic, unique, and beautiful landscape in the world. Away from the huge crowds, its slot canyons and sandstone cliffs often feel undiscovered.
Hike from the front door or take a short walk to see ancestral puebloan structures. The Grand Staircase-Escalante Visitor Center is less than five miles away, as is the Petrified Forest State Park. We’re also close to scenic Highway 12, designated one of the country’s All American Roads. It stretches among Bryce Canyon National Park, Kodachrome Basin, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, Escalante, Boulder, Dixie National Forest, and Capitol Reef National Park. If you’re visiting the Magnificent Five, Escalante is a great basecamp. And if you want a change from the sculpted desert landscape, drive or cycle from the Casita to the top of Boulder Mountain, which is just 13 miles away. You will be greeted by pine forests, cool air, and small lakes where you can birdwatch or fly fish.
While pets aren’t allowed, our jackrabbits and resident Kit Fox are welcome, provided they stay off the furniture.

Summary: The house was lovely and Brett's dishes/pottery were great. If you get the chance to go to Devil's Garden, don't let the gravel road deter you.And when you get back to the house you can relax until it gets dark. You will see as many stars as you have likely ever seen.

Summary: This is a great property in a great area. It is the tiniest bit out of town so you can have a quiet, secluded stay but close enough to town to get anything you need or stay active and explore the many natural features nearby. The host doesn't cut costs for comfort and provides things like good quality shampoo/conditioner and bug spray. Loved it!

Summary: My wife and I were looking for a beautiful, quiet place to stay at while we explored the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument and the Escalante Casita was perfect. The home has all the modern amenities you would expect and even a few you wouldn't. We appreciated the attention to detail the host put into it. The views are peaceful and expansive. It is minutes from Escalante and central to all of the sites we wanted to explore. The host is available, gracious and helpful. This place will not disappoint you. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely return when our busy lives allow.

Summary: The listing for the SaltBrush Casita describes it as a "Escalante Monument Casita with an Expansive View," but that doesn't begin to describe it. It's astonishingly beautiful there, both day and night. My husband is a night sky photographer, and he's never found a better location to shoot. The skies are gorgeously clear and nearly completely free from light pollution. The national monument and other nearby landscapes provide for dramatic photographic settings, of course, but thanks to its desert location, even the casita's back porch makes for a perfect spot to set up a tripod. (See below.)Brett was very knowledgeable, friendly, and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. 10/10 experience, day or night.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay at Brett's lovely property. The Casita was so clean and set up with many thoughtful touches. To name a few, Crocs of various sizes to wear indoors, snack bars for grab on a day for hiking, various of drinks in fridge all cool and nice, Ziploc bags, foil, full range of seasonings and a bag of ice in freezer. Brett left a hand written note and a hand made welcoming gift. It felt at home or even better. Our daughter loved sleeping in the loft, playing card games, and exploring the little slot canyon behind the Casita. We loved waking up to the beautiful view -- it was a perfect home base for exploring around Escalante. We can't wait until our next visit!

Summary: This very new Casita is so nice! It’s a new home that is laid out very nicely with a beautiful view. After hiking some of the many local trails, we enjoyed relaxing in this quiet, comfortable, well appointed home that has everything you might need (grill and fire pit in the back; full laundry; fully equipped kitchen; artistically appointed decor (mostly owner/host created); and even comfortable house crocs to wear in the home). The host is very friendly and accessible - if you’re considering staying here, look no further. This is where we’ll stay when we return to the area!Oh, and if you want to squeeze in some short hiking/exploring before leaving the home, the “backyard” is a large accessible hillside for some fun hiking with views and potential artifact discoveries.

Summary: We enjoyed our stay at the saltbrush casita. We had questions for Brett before we booked. He was easy to contact and very responsive. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. The casita is beautiful, clean, and conveniently located to trails— hole in the rock road, Kodachrome state park, Escalante state park. We enjoyed peaceful evenings in the patio, a rabbit came by most evening. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Summary: We could not have asked for a better stay at Brett’s Casita! The new home was clearly carefully constructed to offer every day luxuries and comforts. Our arrival at the house was extremely easy and was so welcoming with fresh plants in the vase, cold drinks in the fridge and snacks! The location offered quick access to the state park, the monument and the town but was far enough away to offer some peace and quiet. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! A

Summary: Our experience at the casita over a long weekend was simply superb. Everything about the casita feels curated, starting with the sitting and window placement to maximize desert canyon views. The space and layout is cozy but with enough room for individuals spread out. The casita is fitted with top notch equipment throughout and has everything one would need. Brett, the host, is an artist and photographer and his ceramics housewares and photos throughout the casita add a unique sense of place like no other. Brett's communication before during, and after our stay was responsive and personal, and the personal touches added to welcome guests were something I'd never experienced before. The casita is also perfectly placed for exploring everything the area has to offer visitors, too. We will definitely be back.

Summary: We stayed two nights here and I was wishing for two months. In addition to a stunning location and view, the place was very tastefully decorated and fully appointed, especially the kitchen- which we appreciated to be able to cook all our meals. The host Brett was quite responsive and a really nice guy, as well as creating gorgeous pottery. Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, easy heating/AC, and i’m gonna say it again, a stunning view. This is a magical place to spend some time in the desert and to explore the surrounding parks and monuments.
