The scenic beauty of the southern Utah wilderness becomes an enchanting backdrop for an immersive hospitality experience unlike any other.  Step into the world of Yonder Escalante, a modern haven nestled within the rugged charm of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

A veritable retreat for travelers yearning for connection with nature, this property offers an all-encompassing taste of vintage Americana paired with the comforts of contemporary living.

Exploring the Great Outdoors: Hospitality Redefined

Fulfilling the vision of father-son team Charles and James Tate, founders of the Yonder brand, Yonder Escalante emerges as an homage to the classic All-American Road Trip experience. A testament to this tribute is the outdoor drive-in movie theater – the first hint of the nostalgia-soaked journey that awaits guests within this expansive 20-acre property.

Stationary classic cars, each restored meticulously to their former glory, provide the perfect setting for a movie night under the stars, recreating the charm of the erstwhile drive-in movie era.

Equipped with sound and heaters, they provide a comfortable viewing experience while guests enjoy an array of movie theater concessions from New York-style hot dogs and popcorn to ice cream and beer.

Accommodations: An Oasis of Comfort Amidst the Wild

Yonder Escalante’s accommodation offerings are as varied as the surrounding landscapes. With 22 custom-designed A-frame cabins, 10 deluxe en-suite bathroom cabins, 10 renovated vintage airstreams, and 19 RV sites, guests are spoilt for choice.

However, the deluxe cabins deserve a special mention. Each of these accommodations is a harmonious blend of rustic charm and contemporary luxury, offering comfortable sleeping quarters, a private bathroom, an outdoor heated shower, and a front patio.

Yonder Escalante’s A-Frame cabins and vintage airstreams are unique spaces that seamlessly blend with their environment. High ceilings, exposed birch plywood, and glass walls provide a sense of openness, immersing guests in the landscape.

Meanwhile, the vintage airstreams add a touch of nostalgia with modern Americana décor and mid-century vintage furnishings.

Amenities: Outdoor Experiences with a Modern Twist

The property’s communal areas reveal the heart of the Yonder Escalante experience. Central to these is The Lodge, a vibrant hub where guests can connect, work, or enjoy a meal while taking in the extraordinary view.
