Hangar 18 @ Area 51 | Themed | Pet Friendly
After decades of government overspending and misappropriations, this recently defunded and declassified facility has been made available for your next adventure. Hangar 18 is a little-known nondescript building nestled in the quiet streets of downtown historic Hurricane UT and home to a few of our national secret spoofs! Come create memories with the family and have fun with the conspiracy spoofs throughout the project.
Escape Properties are here as a tool during your stay, but we try to stay out of your way as you enjoy your vacation. If you need us we are here!
Located in historic downtown Hurricane UT (about 20 min. from Zion National Park main entrance). Minutes to Quail Lake or Sand Hollow Lake. Close to restaurants, grocery stores and antique shops.
You will have access to the entire home and common areas.
Pool and Pool Area: This amenity consists of a play pool with a volleyball net, a shaded shamu shelf wading area as well as a large hot tub. The pool is common space area and is enclosed in a private fenced area with locking gates. DO NOT PROP gate doors open at any time.
NOTE: The hot tub is accessible year-round and is easy to heat. The pool is heated for Presidents Day weekend through spring break as well as the month of October as well as the Thanksgiving weekend. Pool may or maynot be heated for Christmas and New year holidays subject to ground and air temps. IF you rent the entire micro resort, the pool can be heated for an additional fee. We do not heat the pool in the summer months.
Parking: There is plenty of room for 3 cars wide and 2 cars deep if needed in front of Hangar 18 as well as one space for a boat/ATV trailer. The city does not allow guests to park on the street.
This converted steel building has been transformed into an amazing family fun themed spoof on the 1950's alien conspiracy (think Men in Black and bring your tin foil hats). Kids of all ages will enjoy a photo op with Ned and Blart, our two detained friends from the Galaxy next door, and take a tour of their classic Illudium PU 38 powered moon hopper spacecraft. Feel free to engage in a nerf gun war through the secret ventilation shafts and build up a static charge sliding down the big indoor slide or playing for high-score on the classic Atari video game of "Space Invaders".
Inside the real UFO replica enjoy your hand at xBox's flight simulator or one of many other games (game pass) on the bridge - buckle in, we do expect turbulence!

Got to be a kid again in this perfectly weird and fun experience. Kids from 12-16 absolutely loved the UFO game room, hot tub, pool and Nerf gun battles. It was so great we had a hard time getting them to go to Zion or go mountain biking! Close to everything in Hurricane. 10 stars all around. Would stay again no question.
We loved this place. I think the only complaint was the internet connection. The pool and hot tub were perfect for all ages and the house was so fun and comfortable. Would definitely come back.
I wanted a place we could just go and stay and be entertained. This was that place. We left 2x to go out to eat and that was it. So much fun for the kids and adults. Would definitely stay here again.
Plenty of room and everything we needed. Kids loved the nerf guns and slide. Conveniently located in nice little town of Hurricane. Neat UFO theme throughout the house. This hangar worked out perfectly for our family.
This property was as cool as the photos. What a unique experience. It was close to a grocery store and restaurants and less than a half hour a way from Zion. The kids loved climbing around the tubes and slides. The hot tub was very nice after hiking. We had one small issue with the pool gate lock not working but the host answered right away and helped with a solution. Would highly recommend.

Awesome house!!
This is the absolute coolest house to ever exist.
the kids LOVED it and never want to go anywhere else on fanily vacation. Escape Properties really went the extra mile to make sure we had a great stay. Very responsive and kind.
Very clever sci-fi themed rental. Perfect space for three families. Thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor space, and even the teens found themselves climbing thru the upper loft and sliding down the slide. Owner was very friendly and responsive. We are telling all our friends about Hangar 18!
My family and friends loved hanger 18. We would love to spend another vacation there. It was pet friendly, had good amenities, great location, and private. The only thing that I would like to see is the hot tub a little hotter. Then this hidden gem would be the best place ever to call home for a couple days.
What a wonderful home! Besides the obvious cool factor (that my kids lost their minds over!), the house was extremely organized, clean, and well equipped. Probably the best house we've ever rented.
We stayed 2 nights, but everyone would have loved to stay longer. The pool and hot tub were lovely, along with the grill and patio. I can't think of anything I'd add to make it better.
From the first seconds we came through the door the kids (4 kids, ages 5-12) went nuts! They had so much fun (and they were able to occupy themselves —albeit not super quietly!) the whole time we were there. The pool and hot tub were great too! And nicer than the pics made it seem. For the adults, the seating / eating options were comfortable and flexible which made for great socializing. A great place to hang out.
We went to Zion National Park every day we stayed there and it’s a pretty short drive, conveniently located.
Grandkids and kids loved it. Everyone had a great time. Young ones didn’t want to leave to go to the national park. Even adults got into the action with nerf gun wars, alien invasions etc. Plenty of space for large group. Would definitely recommend for family and friends trip with kids of all ages.
We will surely be back.
We’ve stayed in VRBO‘s all over the country. This one was easily the most unique and well thought out by far. so many thoughtful details. And I always know it’s a good one if they’ve labeled. Their lights and inside their cabinets. silly but true. The spaceship is amazing and super sturdy and solid. Bunks were perfection and they were lots of Nerf gun wars. Such a fun idea. Bottom of line, we loved our alien stay.

Great Space
It was fun for kids and comfortable beds for adults. The rooms are great, it could use some more kid friendly cups and bowls, a good carpet cleaning, and the hot tub drains every time it fills. They did come fill it for us when we arrived and it was empty, but it quickly drained again as soon as it got full. We enjoyed our stay and there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy family time. We would stay here again. We loved having a bathroom with each bedroom!
It was fun to stay in this themed Area 51 space. The kids loved the slide, every room had its own bathroom which was nice. We had family staying In The cabin next to us and the third cabin didn’t have occupants, so we didn’t have to share the pool with people we didn’t know, but the hot tub only worked for the first and last day we were there due the week. Over all I think the kids will remember the visit because it was themed. They do make it very clear that pets are welcome, so I knew I would probably need to wash sheets before we slept there, and I did. Bring your own sheets or a lint roller if you don’t bring your pets, we bought our own bed cover to go under the sheets we brought, The beds were comfortable, we did a hike at Kanarraville falls which wasn’t too far away and it was amazing. Overall I was glad to have had the experience and memories with my kids. I would recommend this place if you have kids or want a fun family reunion experience, as you can have three options of places to rent that share the same pool.

Family vacation
House is nice and lots of room really fun for the kids It wasn’t clean it was dog and cat hair everywhere we are allergic to cats so wasn’t fun for us. If you are going to let people bring pets in to the house a least make sure is clean before renting it out we paid our cleaning fee but the house wasn’t clean for us I think it’s not fair
This is a 100% unique space that will have you and your crew smiling from the jump. We made it our base of operations for visits to Zion National park, Bryce Canyon NP, Snow Canyon State Park and other area attractions and it was a convenient location for them and not far from our flights into Vegas. The design is really incredible and a kids paradise with the tunnels, nerf guns and video game room. And we all appreciated the roominess, 5 bedrooms and mega TV in the "Great Hall." As unique as the property is, it's not impeccable. The dining room table was damaged, the kitchen was not put together with the same care and craftsmanship as the alien spaceship bunkhouse (dishwasher and oven interfere, ice maker didn't work, old pan needing replacement) and the hot tub isn't available 24*7 but requires communication to owner and wait for heating. Total first world problems I know. My point is this is a super fun place at a relatively high price point but it's not a super luxury option, so eyes wide open and you'll have a great time here.
We loved this house! We stayed with a big group of two families, there was plenty of space and the kids had so much fun. The property manager was helpful, and when he couldn’t fix our issue, he stopped by the house to fix it. We will stay again if we are ever in the area!
It’s great but they obviously have a big problem with ants we were there in 2023 and it was the same but this time was worse, one of the toilets were covered and there was a dirty sock.
Wow!!! My kids' mind was blown. We loved watching them enjoy both inside and outside. The pool has a great design. And the theme was incredible, even the shower curtains were on point. Great commitment to this property. Impressive!!!
We stayed at this property as a home base to the Zion National Park. Our kids were overjoyed by the space theme of this property and had a wonderful time!
