Overview

About This Property

Video intro. Slot Canyons Inn sits on 160 acres near Escalante, a gateway to Capitol Reef. Ten to eleven rooms plus a historic cabin and a lodge give you space to breathe. Some rooms offer jacuzzis, fireplaces, balconies, and private entrances. It’s quiet, starry, and a true rural escape—we take that.

Your Morning Game Plan

Hit a local coffee spot in Escalante; you're about 55 miles from Capitol Reef’s Entrance Station, roughly 1h15m away. Leave by 6:45 AM to beat crowds and enjoy morning light on canyon walls.

The Honest Truth

Look, this isn’t a flashy resort. It’s a rural B&B with space to breathe, river views, and a sense of history. Rates vary by room and season, with possible extra fees for groups—like a $60 cleaning fee for Isaac Riddle Cabin and per-person charges. If you want nightlife or mega luxury, keep moving. If you want peace, nature, and a big sky, you’re in the right spot.

Who Should Skip This

Not ideal for guests chasing a bustling town vibe or ultra-modern luxury.

Booking Insider Tip

• Book direct for best availability. • Reserve Calf Creek Falls Room for ADA needs. • For peak season, book 6+ months out. • Confirm cancellation terms for non-Cabin rooms at booking.

What Guests Say

Quiet, historic B&B with diverse rooms and private spaces. Great for couples and families seeking a peaceful escape; some wildlife sounds may occur. Value hinges on room type and season.
