Emilee and myself, Elaine, are sisters and we own and operate Dora's Country Cottage. This house was originally built by our great grandparents. We are following our grandparents footsteps by being business owners. We also own Prairie Star vacation house and Cowboy Country Inn. We love Escalante and sharing it with our many guests that come from around the world to explore the area. We are originally from Escalante and moved away for a few years but Escalante has always been home. We are both retired school teachers and being back home is a dream come true. Moving back home has provided us the opportunity to live in a great small town and enjoy all that it has to offer. The people that live here are great people. Living the slow-paced, country-style living is amazing! Being a small town we are limited with grocery shopping so we suggest to stop at a bigger town if you need specific items. Dora's Country Cottage is a great place to have a one night stay OR better yet, is to have multiple nights stay! This property is centrally located so you can go in any direction in Escalante and spend many days exploring then returning to Dora's place to rest and relax!!!!

You will love staying at Dora's Country Cottage which was originally built in 1910 and has been recently updated and remodeled. It has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, sleeps 8 guests, and offers a combination of country charm just like being at home. The Cottage is named after Dora Black, the great-grandmother of Elaine and Emilee Lott who own and operate the business. The Blacks were cattle and sheep ranchers and after the Depression Dora ran this property as a "boarding house" for the CCCs that were in the area working on government projects. Dora's Country Cottage property has the unique opportunity of being the residing place of Sunny and Rusty who are rescue steers found by Emilee. They live next door! You will love the comfortable and cozy feel once you step inside. The kitchen is fully equipped so you can prepare all of your meals. The kitchen also provides a dining area so you can sit around as family and friends. After your long day of adventures there is a nice large patio facing the east. Take your "boots off and kick back" and enjoy your glass of wine or cold drink and reminisce of your days adventures or adventures yet to come. The patio has outdoor furniture and picnic table. Also outside is a "fire pit" for you to build a fire, bring your own wood, and roast a marshmallow. For sleeping there is a king bedroom/ bath in one side of the house; a queen bedroom/ bath on the other side; a queen and king bedroom upstairs w/2 bathrooms. Each bathroom has a walk-in shower, toilet, vanity, hairdryer, "family-style" shampoo/conditioner and shower gel. Also provided are lush, colored towels. Free wifi and satellite tv. Large flat screen tv in each bedroom and one in the living room. Each of the bedrooms also has a separate entrance. You can rent the house as one unit or each bedroom/bath can be rented separately. If interested in kitchen and living room must contact property for availability!

Escalante sits in the middle of the Grand Stair-case Escalante National Monument. We are surrounded by vast amounts of "hidden treasures"!!! For those that are driving thru the area the scenery is wonderful just from the road; BUT for those that like to explore, you are in for a wonderful treat! The photography, hiking, fishing, biking, UTVing, etc is something that you will totally enjoy and you will come back year after year to explore more and more!!!
