We just used the main level but the outdoor chairs, views, and fire pit was high quality and nice. Real silverware, glasses, plates, and mugs is a nice touch.

PROS 1. Cute, stylishly decorated 2. Clean and tidy 3. The fire pit was fun! We made s'mores. 4. Located 3 blocks from shops/ restaurants in Escalante CONS 1. Sleeping loft ceiling is VERY low. Even my kids couldn't stand up. We all had to crawl around on hands & knees. Because the ceiling is so low, you have to go down the stairs in an awkward crouch. Which leads to... 2. Dangerous stairs: The stairs to the loft are dangerous - steep, narrow with slick soft carpet. I slipped and fell all the way down the stairs and seriously hurt myself. I had to go the emergency room (1.5 hours away!) Ruined our trip. 4. Dangerous windows in the loft: The loft is hot and doesn't have its own AC. The loft windows are floor level casement window, with the mattresses right up against them. So if you open the loft windows, you risk that your child could roll out the window! The owners are aware of this: they put a sign on the window explaining this risk (rather than fixing the problem). So you have to choose between sweltering heat or putting your children danger of falling out! 3. There is No. Storage. No closet. No dresser. Nowhere to put your belonging. There's a nook under the bed for storing suitcases, but that's it. There is one pipe in the bedroom that seems to be for hanging things(?), but if you use it, you block both the mirror and the desk. 4. Half the wall switches don't work and the other half only work part of the time. Maybe some sort of electrical problem?
