The barn was lovingly crafted into a sturdy, tight, convenient, comfortable cabin with a huge, comfortable loft. The hand crafted king bed was one of the most comfortable beds we have ever slept in. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed. The wood stove was completely adequate for the unseasonable cold weather. The barn was so pleasant... More

Wild West Retreat was great. We stayed there while hiking in the area. I have 5 children, ages 6 to 16 and they all enjoyed it. Kid's loved the retreat, sleeping in a barn, playing in the hot tub, and playing with a pot bellied pig and friendly dog. They like exploring the property, riding bikes, and did I mention... More

The food - country cookout specials of the West - is just great, and you won´t leave hungry for sure. And the best of it all: Shannon, the boss and his lovely wife, Jenifer. You´ll feel at home once you arrive. They will tell you all about Escalante and Southern Utah, where they were born and raised. They will treat... More

When you are in Escalante you are 5 hours from an airport, 3 hours from a big grocery store, but right next door to amazing beauty.

My family of 5 stayed in the Pioneer Home at the Wild West Retreat and had such a great time!

I found the Wild West Retreat when a filled to capacity motel said, "there are no rooms in town for the Art Festival, but let me make a call." She called Shannon and Jenifer to discover that they had finished remodeling the "bunk house", ready just in time for me, the exhausted solo motorcyclist. Shannon, met me in the darkened... More

While the Wild West Retreat is technically located in a residential neighborhood, the old barn really feels private. The outside of the barn looks like it has been around a very long time, but the inside is a wonder of wood posts and heavy wood slab stairs. Even the doors are sturdy and unique wood construction with whimsical cutouts for... More

We booked the retreat based on prior reviews of the barn, and they were absolutely right on! We stayed in the cabin, which is a converted hay barn, and the owners have created a beautiful ambiance in and around it that includes historic farm equipment, gorgeous rock and wood work, and an innovative use of space inside. The breakfast was... More

This old house has been renewed with a true western spirit; The external look is exceptional, and the interior is also valuable. One of my best surprises for a long time.
