Swimming in the pool during a thunderstorm was fun. The little house-room things were nice. The join bathroom/ showers were clean and I even saw people I saw driving when I was in Zion a few days earlier. A good experience, would recommend.

Showering outside (deluxe cabins and the one of the communal washrooms) is such a unique experience. The staff is attentive, helpful, and just so so awesome to work with. We went to Escalante during a rainy weekend and the people at the front desk had all kinds of ideas of things we could get up to even with the poor weather. We were so worried we wouldn't be able to get out and experience all the southern Utah has to offer. Thank you guys for making our stay such a positive experience. We'll be back again.

We absolutely LOVE it here! This is our fourth stay. We started out in a tent site, then stayed in a cabin for our second and third visits, and now we’re in a Deluxe Cabin. Our favorite time to visit is Fall. Temperatures have cooled down, and it’s the perfect time to visit. The staff are friendly, the amenities are clean and thoughtfully designed, and they’ve truly considered every detail to make... We absolutely LOVE it here! This is our fourth stay.

We love exploring all that Escalante and the surrounding areas have to offer, and Ofland has become a favorite place we make a point to visit at least once every year. Absolutely recommend staying here.

Was very impressed with the amenities in each of the units along with what Ofland had to offer. Owners and management seemed to think of everything for all guests. Enjoyed the hot tub and pool, free coffee along with the food truck for yummy breakfasts. Took them up on the DIY meals and was so fun cooking by the fire. The outdoor showers for the public and the cabins was a definite treat. Also a great hit was the drive in movies in the vintage cars. The staff could not of been any nicer and so helpful with any questions or needs and even suggestions for hiking. Will definitely visit again. Thanks for the memories.
