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.

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.

These VRBO cabins are located very conveniently in Escalante, less than a half mile from the…read moreVisitor's Center, and close to shops and restaurants. Our cabin comfortably sleeps 6. The beds are comfy, but I can't speak for the pull-out sofa, because no one in our group used it. However, there is not enough storage for six people, which is a problem when hanging towels and coats. The kitchen is well stocked with almost everything you will need. There is a Kuerig for coffee, and k-cups are included. Salt and pepper are pretty much the only items in the pantry, so anything else will have to be brought in. There is a grill available for use, but it was so windy the flames kept going out. There is also a nice firepit for cool evenings, if it isn't too windy. Also included is a washer and dryer, and even laundry detergent. The TV works fine if you have an account to log into for Netflix, or another streaming service. The only downside is that it's pretty pricey. And the included maintenance fee seems high, considering we had to take the sheets off the beds, put all the dirty towels in the shower, take out the trash, and run the dishwasher before we left. I would absolutely stay here again if it wasn't for that.

Troy and Michelle have been amazing hosts, showing us around each trailer, answering questions phone call after phone call, even going as far as helping me find a local photographer for the occasion. The Airstreams are beautifully decorated, well-equipped with amenities, super clean and comfortable. They've put a lot of thought and creativity into everything; the trailers, the drive-in theater, even the snack bar... And, every time we stay there, they seem to be making some new improvement, like adding more Airstreams, remodeling, or expanding. If you want a fun place to stay in the Escalante, Bryce Canyon, Petrified Forest area... I can't recommend Shooting Star enough. These people care about their guests and, in my experience with them, it shows.

We would have been so grateful for just bare bones accommodations, but what we found was so much more awesome! Lynn was so welcoming and extremely helpful with places to eat, etc. The cabin had everything you could need and was clean and secure and also just a darling experience. The whole place is so gosh dang cute. Bed was comfy and clean. Fire pit outside is an awesome addition even though we couldn't use it due to fire restrictions. Free drip coffee in the morning was so good that I didn't even want a latte - though they do have a full service espresso bar available on site! You'll also find cute postcards, tumbled rocks, maps of the area, local geological facts and stuff. You can hang out in the reception/coffee area, which had seating and outlets. They have laundry downstairs (we didn't check it out though). And the whole property has free wifi! There are SO many amenities here for dogs as well!! I wish we had ours, but they hate going on the road, so we didn't get to take advantage of the dog park, wash station, or in-room pet blankets. On top of their cabins/casita, they also have tent sites and RV and van sites. One of the absolute best stops we've ever made on the road! Don't forget to hang out with Debbie (meow).

An added bonus was having not one, but two food trucks on site, as well as a coffeehouse in the lobby. Our cabin was very comfortable too. Highly recommend!

I had the Single king room which was nicely furnished with lots of nice touches and perfect for my needs. The king size bed had a nice firm mattress but the pillows were kind of soft and didn't provide a lot of support. The tv was a connected to an antenna so there was only a limited amount of channels and sometimes the reception was spotty. But since the purpose in visiting Escalante is to get out and enjoy all the wonderful hikes and drives available this was no problem. The room has a microwave, small fridge, and a coffee/tea area with fresh ground coffee available. It would have been nice to have a small office chair so I could set up my laptop on the desk. The bathroom has lots of towels and a nice shower. The room has a back door that leads to a seating area in the back with a nice view of the mountains. The front of the rooms has a firepit and a grill and a nice seating area as well. The lobby closes at 6pm but the owners are available by phone to text or call. They are wonderful hosts. I had the pleasure of talking to and getting to know Terry and Wendy when I had a waffle for breakfast. They do not offer a free breakfast but they do have a small restaurant that sells incredible Belgian waffles and wonderful fresh ground coffee. The next time I am in Escalante I will definitely stay here again.

They had all kinds of toiletries such as band aids, room spray, q-tips, dental floss (individually wrapped), ear plugs, and eye masks. They also had a jar of snacks available, cups, plates, bowls, and silverware if you were eating any food. There was a roll of paper towels available and also a few packets of instant oatmeal and a variety of teas to make. Some of the rooms are pet friendly and they had a blanket, pet bowls, and treats available. They also had a note that they would arrange to let your pet out mid-day if needed while you were out for the day. There were also grills available if you wanted to grill. The blinds were also great for blocking out light if you want to sleep in a bit.

There are outdoor chairs on a little patio with parking in front of the room. The bedroom shades did not block the light well, but I always travel with an eye mask. Easy town to walk around plus hiking, fishing, parks and drives nearby. They had a welcome packet with maps and sites to visit. There was a very strong smell of cleaning products that gave me a headache until I aired it out. Beautifully decorated unit.

Left for the day and came back to a different code to get in.1st change. No service on room. Not even trash taken out. 2nd change. No front office personnel. Just a phone no dial direct to a call center. Call center mentioned that check out was at three. We had the room for 2 days. Never before was expected to check out in middle of a stay. 2 individuals on site Tall guy with glasses brandishing a 6 ft staff behind counter. Thought he was a homeless guy but he had access to room behind counter and was presenting himself as some sort of employee. Asked if he was or ever had been an employee and he said no. Then said he was some sort of consultant and he lived there. Inquired if place had new management and he laughed and rolled his eyes. Asked and complained about lack of service and he directed me to above mentioned phone. 2nd individual told me directly they do not service rooms anymore until one has been there 4 days, We should have left and just re booked to get a new room. Not an issue if you stay only one day. Whatever these guys were they were not helpful at all. Then when we finally left I called to express my dismay at the service quality and got a message to call back during normal business hrs. No permits or licenses on lobby wall so had to research who the new owners were. This was not anywhere even close to what I was expecting. Heaven help you if you have a room issue anytime outside of call center hrs. And if you book for more than one day you will have to empty your garbage cans if full and if you need any supplies you are expected to find it in the lobby and restock yourself. On our way out of Escalante it was past nine so we pulled in to make that call. The Big guy with his club was outside and when he noticed me on the phone he came in with his club and stood about three feet from me so he could listen in to the phone call. For the record the people on the other end were dismissive and could not have cared less. End of story.

GREEDY! Do not recommend if you are a women solo traveler!…read more I booked this spot because the cabin looked cute and quaint. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience at all. I have to take a medication that makes me very sick. I was feeling okay when booking, but it took a turn that afternoon. So I requested a refund 3 hours before arrival which was denied. TOTALLY FINE! So I stuck it out and decided to head over despite not feeling good at all. When I arrived it was great! The bed was super hard though. Then I went to the bathroom and noticed the code that everyone gets is the same for boys and girls showers/ bathrooms.. I've been harassed before as a solo traveler so I take safety seriously. 1. The bed so super hard and uncomfortable (I could deal with that!) 2. Men have 100% access to women showers and bathrooms. That's where I draw the line. I asked the front desk worker for a blanket for extra support, AND just to confirm that I have NO safety measurements as a woman when I shower. Once that was verified, I actually wanted to leave. So I asked for a refund or any $ back at all so I can stay somewhere else to shower safely and get good sleep with a better mattress. The following is why I'm leaving 1 star: The blonde woman was extremely condescending and rude to me. She said "ehm, no. I'm sorry. I mean you already tried due to some illness before so it just kind of sounds like you're just trying to get out of the reservation" with a horrible attitude. My illness is NOT visible, and this was also before I found out men have 100% full access to women's bathrooms and showers! *if you're a women, spend the extra money and stay at yonder! Women's bathroom has private locks for showers and safety/ privacy is actually considered! All good experiences over there, and they are MUCH nicer and not condescending !!!

So my son has been itching to ride ATVs for the longest time. Due to his not having a license or…read morecosts, we just were not able to pull it off. He got to do it finally at scout camp, and has been wanting to go again now that he is of age and has a license. While here on vacation, American ATV Rentals fit our needs and the almost full day trip was quite the experience. Owners David and Tina were most professional and helpful with every step of our excursion. We had a lot of choices to make. First was what kind of vehicles were we going to use. They had the ATVs, 2 and 4-seaters, and some were meant for those over 200lbs which we all needed (slight extra charge for that). We also had to decide what length of "tour" we wanted. We had three drivers and four people, so we went with a two-seater and two ATVs all with the upgraded suspension for the weight. We then chose the 4 hour tour which for most should be the right amount of time for the 44 or so mile loop or back and forth from just about the midpoint. The course was explained and different points of interest and also points of reference to not get lost. I'm glad my wife was our guide on this trip! Next was the safety equipment. We were all provided with helmets and goggles all of which fit well and snug over glasses without any problems. They also provide gloves. All must be worn 100% of the time you're riding or else. They also will provide backpacks and bungee cords. They sell water if needed. We then went outside and got acquainted with our vehicles. How to start them, put in gear, brakes, and rules of the road. We were then on our way! David brought us to a point, gave a more detailed explanation of the course and what to look for. Only at the time we left did our "4-hour tour" time start. We were expected at the end to top off all gas tanks (high grade fuel only) and come back to the business. The trip along so many different views and geological points was awesome. And then almost right at the start I rolled my machine on the side. The gas tank cover came off and I was spilling fuel. Thankfully I wasn't seriously hurt and got up quickly to put it back on four wheels. It drove just fine and I didn't have a flat. I just had some brush burn and a small cut on my elbow. The other negative was just past the 3/4 mark. My son's ATV just stopped and would not move in gear. It revved up but would not engage in gear forward or backward. We ended up pulling out the tow strap on the two-seater and towed it in neutral the final few miles. I had to apologize to my kid for all the dust. You are allowed to stop anywhere for pictures and if you want a souvenir you can take it as you're not in the State park. We did not see any others on our whole route...just some cows. We finally made it to the gas station almost next door to the ATV business, topped off the tanks, and made it back. I was pleased as punch that the ATV I rolled made it back. My wife and I changed at the midpoint so I drove and eventually towed the broken ATV in the two seater, and my wife drove the rolled ATV. Once back (about 25 minutes late due to the issues) I explained our problems on the trip and David was understanding. I did have to pay a 20% depreciation cost for the damage I caused to the ATV. We weren't charged for the issue with the other ATV. This was within the contract we signed and waivers. It was less than I expected, and we just made it work. Overall, my whole family had a great time driving even with the issues we experienced. Some pointers I highly recommend: wear long sleeves, pants, and boots (not sneakers). You will get very dusty. Bring a lot of water and maybe snacks or sandwiches. Remember, however, time stopped does not extend your tour time. The sun beats down and you will get sunburned. There's very little shaded areas. We were told when we asked that the routes we took were classified as mostly beginner to some intermediate level driving. 25mph maximum based on Utah laws, but you're not doing that on these trails. My family and I highly recommend American ATV Rentals for a fun time. It's not cheap, but it was worth the experience! $1000 for the two ATVs and two seater for a four hour tour, safety review, map review, and you have to gas them up before returning them with premium fuel. I also paid a bonus $175 for the 20% of depreciation costs of the damaged parts. Oh well. The shower once we got home and two Tylenol was awesome.
