Rainbow Country Bed and Breakfast sits on a quiet residential street in Escalante, about 45 minutes east of Bryce Canyon on Scenic Byway 12 and within easy striking distance of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument's slot canyons. The four-room B&B has been a reliable base for canyoneers and road-trippers who prefer a home-cooked breakfast and genuine local knowledge over a chain motel.
Rooms and Amenities
All four guest rooms have private bathrooms, and common areas include a spacious lounge with a pool table, big-screen TV, board games, and a book collection. The wraparound sun deck has open views of the surrounding desert and mountains — a good place to plan the next day's route. A hot tub rounds out the outdoor options. Free Wi-Fi and parking are included.
Breakfast and Host Knowledge
Hostess Catherine prepares homemade breakfasts — pancakes, French toast, egg scrambles — that reviewers consistently single out as a highlight. More practically, her firsthand knowledge of the area is extensive: she can point you toward the right trailheads for Coyote Gulch, the best time of year for the Cosmic Abyss, and which local restaurants are actually worth the stop. The B&B is seasonal — confirm open dates before booking, especially for shoulder-season and winter travel.
