Cabin overlooks Moab and appeals to folks wanting to experience peace & quiet.

Welcome to our Moab cabin.
With state and local government guidelines in place, the cabin is officially open. The guidelines consist of space between guest visits. Per COVID19 best practices, the following will occur:
Due to Covid-19 county health guidelines, we now require 24 hours between guests. No same-day arrivals or departures.
This means that when booking a date be careful to arrive a day AFTER previous guests and to depart a day BEFORE other guests arrive. This rule is strictly enforced and there are no exceptions.
1) Our cleaning staff will not be able to enter the cabin for 12 hours from the departure of guests. This means departure times will apply earlier than previous years allowing a quicker schedule for cleaning to take place. Departure time is now 9:00 AM.
2) The next guests will not be able to arrive until 24 hours from the previous guests' departure.
Example Timeline - Guest checks out on Sunday at 9:00 AM, room/rental is left alone for the rest of the day. On Monday morning at 9:00 cleaning services are provided. On Monday afternoon the room/rental is available for new guests to check-in.
3) Each guest's driver's license or official ID will be photographed and kept on file with us per the government guidelines.

NOTE to interested guests/visitors. The calendars within VRBO will show dates available upon the departure of the previous guest but we are honoring the guidelines so you should calculate into your planning the 24-hour in-between period. Please carefully consider the dates that are open in the calendars as being different than when you can actually reserve. We will do our best to block out or otherwise demonstrate that 48 hour period to avoid confusion but your co-operation is much appreciated.

CAUTION: During the months of March and early April as well as November, the weather at the cabin can be fickle and it is possible to receive snow. We strongly recommend that if planning on coming during these times you have a four-wheel-drive or high clearance vehicle.
Caution # 2 Because the cabin is set away on private land, our cleaning service requires one day between bookings. Same day departures of previous guests and the arrival of new guests are too difficult to schedule so when looking at the calendar please recognize the dates available and pick a date one day following the previous booking. There are no exceptions to this scheduling.
We love the great outdoors and adventure. By fact that you are here, we know you do as well. We tried camping with tents and sleeping bags when we were younger, and while, we respect those who enjoy camping we discovered that the creature comforts or lack thereof made the difference in our partnership with Nature. At our last family camp out and after burning a hole in our new eight-man tent and burning my hand with our new gas lantern scrambling inside to escape a Summer rain I looked at my wife and asked if she was having fun. Reviewing the muddy mess of our camp kitchen and inevitable cleanup she thought a moment and said “No…are you?”

That was in the early 1990s and we subsequently set a plan to interact with Nature on more comfortable terms. Creature comforts and isolated from the hubbub of crowds, our cabin offers an escape from the city and the stress of everyday life. Unique to the arid geology of Moab the cabin has: Three bedrooms. Comfortable soft down comforters,
• Two full bathrooms. Linens included.
• Hot showers, running water after a day of adventure
• Modern kitchen with all the kitchen gadgets
• BBQ
• Fire pit for roasting smores (subject to fire restrictions by the forest service)
• Fifty-two-inch flat screen with a family-oriented inventory of movies
• Good cell phone service
• Wrap around deck with Spectacular views
• Low light pollution. Night skies within the darkest triangle in the continental US
• Hiking/biking trails on property and nearby
• Rustic Charm
• Isolated from crowds, a half-mile private lane into the cabin.
• Warm days, cool nights
• Parking for large vehicles and trailers. (A meadow)
Located off the Sand flats road on the Wilson Mesa at 7300 feet elevation the cabin is a perfect base camp for visiting the area’s attractions. Near the trailheads of Porcupine trail, Kokopeli trail, slick rock, (world-famous as the best mountain biking and hiking spot in the USA), and Finns N Things. The cabin is close to Moab’s Famous off-roading and mountain biking locations, which include Arches national park, Canyonlands, Warner Lake, LaSal mountain range, and Castle Valley. Available for short (3 days 3 nights) or long (1-2 week) vacation stays. 1700 sq. feet of modern convenience but still a cabin. Restriction Notice. All off-road vehicles including motorcycles need to be trailered into property and trailer-ed out of the property. No off-road use within the parameters of the half-mile lane into the cabin.
Breathtaking views of the LaSal Mountains from one deck, the Moab rim from another, and Arches national park from yet a third.13 miles from Moab and the Colorado River. No light or sound pollution; you will experience peace and quiet. Starting at sunup and lasting all day, hummingbirds vie for nectar from feeders on the porch. Sometimes so many they perch on your shoulder waiting their turn. Please watch the video above and check photos from cabin adventures. Read some of the testimonials/references from previous guests. Click on our blog link below to view more photos and excerpts from other guests. Call or email today to check availability as the cabin generally reserves 4-6 weeks in advance. We welcome you to the area and Susie and I are genuinely pleased that you are considering the cabin for your getaway. We promise you won’t be disappointed, on the contrary, you will have a vacation to remember for life.

Remote and Peaceful
Our second stay after a trip in 2018. Just as much fun as the first time - watching the stars at night, and after filling the hummingbird feeder watching them squabble with a cup of coffee in the morning is tough to beat. And the quiet at night is amazing.

Remote cabin with gorgeous views
We spend every summer at this cabin and it never ceases to disappoint, even as the kids grow. John is the consummate host - responsive, kind and attentive to our every need. The space is rustic and in some ways bare bones, but has all of the necessary amenities, like fast internet connection, AC, etc. It’s set up in a way that makes you appreciate the rugged beauty that surrounds the space.

Nice Sunsets but Too Rustic
Very disappointed that in 100 degree temps that no one turned the AC on for us. Only AC’s are in a couple of bedrooms. Took a long time to cool the living area. We knew the distance from Moab but not that it would be constant hairpin turns. Very exhausting to drive & not for anyone afraid of heights. Really not fun to drive at night. If you’re going to stay put it’s okay, but if doing things in Moab I’d give it a pass. Also never found any hiking trails by the cabin that other people mentioned. The place smelled when we got there but we didn’t notice the dead mouse on a sticky pad (hidden by electrical cords) until our last night there. The water trap outside killed a family of chipmunks which was totally gross. Can send pictures if needed.

It was very nice getting out of the summer heat and hanging out in the deck watching the stars. Extremely quiet and peaceful. The town isn't to far away to stock up on everything you need. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful location!
If you truly want to experience the beauty of Moab, this is the place to stay. In the middle of the La Sal Mountains, you are above the town of Moab which meant snow capped Mountain Views and cooler weather which was so nice in the summer. We hiked during the day and relaxed at the cabin in the afternoon/evening and were surrounded by hummingbirds and other wildlife. As others mentioned, it is a 45+ minute drive outside of town, but with a little planning ahead, this is not a problem. We would stay here again. John was a great host!

Wonderfully remote vacation home for Moab adventures!
Really loved the house and location - it is about an hour to Moab, but I knew that going in. The driveway is pretty rough with ruts right now, but that added to the adventure in a way. The house and views of the surrounding area are lovely!

This large and comfortable cabin is about 50 minutes outside of Moab with views of the Rim and the La Sal mountains. It's very quiet and is well stocked with necessities. Just bring your food. The landscape is amazing and John, the owner, is extremely responsive.

Away from the hustle and bustle
We recently stayed here while visiting Moab during the 58th Easter Jeep Fest. If you want to be away from town this place is for you! It was in a very quiet location, with great views and all of nature's things. John was very helpful and responsive from the time we were arriving to day we left. Keep in mind that the access roads to this cabin should not be driven with minivans or prius'. Can't wait to stay here again!

Out of the way cabin
Great cabin, Awesome views, clean with everything you want. Easy access to Porcupine Rim and all trails off of Sand Flats road. Access is definitely high clearance and Awd/4wd would be a must if it rains or snows. You could get a car there, but you will ground out if you're not super careful. WiFi and cell worked fine, it has a TV but never tried it as we were too busy enjoying the view, stars and deck.

You may not want to leave...
The cabin is so peaceful and the last half mile of road so bad that you may just want to hunker in and be one with the Moab high country. Also, if you do venture out, plan ahead and make it worth the trip; you're an hour away from anything.

Great experience
This stay was like a rustic cottage down a stony and deeply rutted long driveway. It was very private, has an excellent view and ultimately was a great getaway for us! Flat Sands is the more difficult way to get to the house, it is a drive through the mountains no matter which way you go, but the views are excellent. John had some great advice about good sights in the area, definitely worth doing!

Remote paradise
Arches National Park is International Dark Sky Park, and is closer to Moab than this property. The night sky was breathtaking, and the natural beauty is unrivaled. Dino tracks, petroglyphs, unending landscapes and the occasional cow made this stay an amazing experience. The cabin's wrap-around porch provided the ideal perch to enjoy the visiting hummingbirds and watch the colorful sunrise. The beds were clean and comfortable. I read a review that complained about a T.V., but I can honestly say that I have no idea if there was a T.V., and further have no idea why anyone would travel to such a raw natural paradise to watch Netflix.

Remote Beautiful Location
Four of us went on a dirt bike adventure. John’s cabin offered us a great place to rest and relax between adventures. It is a bit out of the way and quite a drive to get back to each day but worth it. If you want to be close to the downtown action this is not your place. If you want a scenic out of the way place with virtually no neighbors this is your place. Bring your 4 wheel drive because just getting down the driveway almost requires it.

Beautiful views and Dark Sky
You can see so many stars at night because there’s no light pollution around this cabin. See the sunrise over the mountain and sunset against the cliffs. However to get to this seclusion, you need a vehicle with a high clearance. The 17-mile drive to Moab takes almost an hour because of the winding and sometimes rugged mountain road. My issue with the cabin itself is the location of the tv. It’s in the downstairs bedroom instead of the common area. This may not be an issue if you don’t want to watch tv, or prefer to have the tv not interfere with other activities. The host, John was very responsive to issues that arose during our stay. He even made excellent suggestions for restaurants and services that we needed away from the cabin. Great cabin for outdoor living.

Beautiful and Quiet
The cabin itself was modern and clean. The view from the property was beautiful, and the area was relatively isolated and quiet. Expect to take an hour to get from Moab to the property, no matter the route. And if you get off the "main" routes, don't be surprised if even a 4x4 truck has trouble navigating some of the nearby "forest roads."

Very nice cabin, just needs air conditioning
The house was very nice had mostly everything we needed very comfortable beds. The AC units are portable and required draining. They were not able to keep the house very cool during the afternoon. Nice and secluded, beautiful views. Would like a marked trail to some of the pics seen on VRBO. Would be a 5 star with decent AC.
