Country-style rooms in a seasonal, woodsy B&B offering a warm lounge & a wraparound porch.
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.
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.
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.

My wife and I spent a night there recently, and we loved the time we had. It was homey, comfortable, and it just felt like a haven from the world. Excellent base for side trips into other incredible scenic locations and national parks. Highly recommended. Loved Clark & Catherine!

We could not have had a better experience. The hostess, Catherine, is knowledgeable about the area and readily shares this helpful information even sharing maps and directions. We appreciated her enthusiasm, kindness, and availability. Our room was exceptionally clean with a comfortable bed and amenities provided. Catherine cleaned the room and made the bed each day. The breakfast was hot, healthy, plentiful and delicious with eggs, pancakes, French toast as examples. We would choose RCBB if in the area again and highly recommend it to others.
