Great place to stay close to trails but out of the busy area of town!

We stayed at the Thompson house for the second time! Great place and well taken care of property! Great communication from managers, easy to find, quiet (except for the occasional train that goes by but that didn’t bother us), and there are trails that leave right from the property! We’ll be back again for sure!

This spot is a favorite for our SXS riding groups as it is a less expensive and perfect location for many rides. I only wish they had a pool or each house had a hot tub!

We came to Utah to ride the trails in our razr. There are trails that you can ride to from the house and are close to the named trails in moab. The house is comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was perfect and everything very clean. We can't wait to come back in the spring!!

Great Getaway

We chose the property due to proximity to Moab and surrounding parks. The property was extremely clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. We all loved the openess of the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable. The property managers were extremely kind and accommodating with special thanks to Shelly. Thanks, Brian M.

Relaxing short stay with impressive view

We had to recover due to an incidence some days ago. The distance to Moab and the next parks were acceptable. The house is located in a quiet area, sometimes you hear a train passing but this is not disturbing. Don‘t miss to visit Sego Canyon next to close to the house to see amazing petroglyphs. The house was very clean and comfortable with a really big citizen. The master bath room can be explored with a compass…😉 Air conditioning worked well.
