Perfect amount of space for 2. Had everything we needed to stay for a couple days. We drove a little away from the property for stargazing due to one (of only 2) of the street lights being right next to us.

Very nice unit in the RV park. 45 minutes to Fisher Peaks, Arches, Canyonland and Dead Horse Point. Clean. Excellent furniture. There are bright exterior lights on the property which limits the dark sky viewing. I would stay here anytime over a Moab motel.

No AC

The house was wonderful and exactly as listed, it was small and cozy and had a great view in a great neighborhood. Although the AC unit was unable to cool the house throughout our entire visit. The thermostat was set at 72 degrees and the windows left closed, per the request of the property owner and the AC was constantly running and not making a dent in the heat. The first night it made it to 88 degrees in the house by 8 pm and the second night made it to 92. It was to the point of unbearble and impossible to sleep. Attempted to make contact with the property host to confirm if this was the norm (being in the desert I semi understand some heat) but was never answered.

Property was perfect for the two of us. The cabin was very clean and was well stocked. The only caution I would give was the A/C struggled to keep up on the days it was in the upper 80’s and 90’s. We did contact the owners so that are aware and are hopefully looking into correcting this issue. I would 100% stay here again as long as it was not in the heat of the summer. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay while visiting the area!

We had a great time and everything was as it was in the listing. My one complaint is that in the listing is says you are 30 minutes from Arches National Park, which is partially true. I would say it is about 40 minutes and that

Nice stay for our road trip

The house was clean and comfortable. The host helped me with special requests for scented items to be removed. The area was pretty and quiet. You kind of feel like you're out in the country. They have fire pits which I think would be nice for a longer stay.

Great little spot!

Very nice for a tiny home! Hot water was pretty limited and internet wasn't great. Just sitting in the middle of a gravel lot, nothing special, but we loved this as a cozy stop on our road trip through Utah!

Convenient and quiet

Convenient location to Moab, canyon hikes and the national parks nearby. This place was perfect for me and my two dogs to go explore during the day and then come back to shower and pass out! Occasional train heard but otherwise quiet.

Perfect home away from home

This was a very comfortable and well equipped park model. A/C worked great. Loved the cooler nights. Turned off A/C and opened the windows for a lovely cool nights sleep. Appreciated that the pots and pans they had for cooking were quite decent. Nice fridge/freezer with ice maker too. Ample towels, paper products abd dishwasher soap. We had a wonderful 3 day stay. Thanks
