Southern Book Cliffs

THIS HOUSE ONLY SLEEPS 2! We are 35 miles North of Moab and 30 miles north of Arches National Park. We are just 1 mile off of I-70 exit 187, which is the closest exit to the Moab exit #182. We are close enough to be convenient ,and yet far enough away to be secluded. The house is clean and new and is perfect for a couple who is not wanting to spend a fortune . There is a fully equipped kitchen ,complete with pots and pans.

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.

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.

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.

June 2025

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!

Perfect little house for two

Not too far from Moab, this home was a great place to come back to after a day of hiking canyonlands and Arches National Park. You could even see a faint Milky Way outside even with the outdoor lights on; would definitely recommend.

This is our second time staying here. It was just as great as last time. Check in is great they communicate very well with you. The house was clean and had all the supplies needed. It is a great place to stay that is in between the parks as long as you don't mind driving some.

Incredible Views

The place was extremely clean, neat and tidy. Located in a quiet little hidden gem area of Utah. Easy to drive to NPs Canyonlands and the Arches. Loved the scenic views at the Vrbo. It was super cute! I would definitely book a stay here again. Extremely easy check in and check out. Great host! Appreciate this trip.
