Located amidst the rugged beauty of Utah’s high desert plateau, Ofland Escalante by ANACPA Architecture, formerly Yonder Escalante, emerges as a haven for adventurers and seekers of tranquility alike. Once an RV park and drive-in theater sprawled across 17 acres, this transformed destination now embodies a harmonious blend of modern comfort and rustic charm, inviting guests to reconnect with nature while indulging in creature comforts.

Designed to seamlessly integrate with its breathtaking surroundings, Ofland Escalante’s ethos lies in fostering a sense of connection with the landscape. The architectural vision emphasizes horizontal expanses, minimizing the intrusion of conditioned spaces and eschewing ostentatious luxury for a warm, laid-back atmosphere conducive to shared experiences.

At its heart lies a 7,200-square-foot clubhouse, its expansive patio sheltered beneath a 40-foot-deep canopy, serving as a communal hub where guests can unwind and soak in the panoramic vistas. Complementing this are ten thoughtfully crafted cabins, each boasting floor-to-ceiling glass walls that immerse visitors in the captivating beauty of Escalante’s rugged terrain.
