Quiet setting in a historic ghost town, very close to 4500 year old ART

New 3 bedroom 2 bath manufactured home with porch , swing and ATV trails, ride from the front door. JUST 36 MINUTES NORTH OF MOAB ON I-70. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the country. Only 30 minutes from downtown Moab. All 10 of our rental house are rated 5 star with about 200 reviews. Our 2 and 3 bedroom units are about half the price of a motel room in Moab. Peace and quiet is not for everyone. About half of the population love air pollution and bumper to bumper traffic. We appeal to the other half of the population that goes on vacation to unwind. We're not close to Wal-mart or clubs and bars. All of our houses are fully equipped with kitchens, barbeque grills and propane , pots and pans etc. IF THIS UNIT IS RENTED, YOU CAN VIEW OUR OTHER UNITS BY EXPANDING THE VRBO MAP TO A 30 MILE RADIUS WE ARE NEAR I-70>>>>>> WE ARE 30 MINUTES NORTH OF MOAB>>>>>>>>

Clean and Comfortable Waypoint!
First off...the place is very clean and nice. Not fancy, but enough room for the 5 of us to spread out and relax. We had everything we needed. We stopped here on our way to Arches from Bryce and didn't want to be stuck in a hotel in Moab. Driving time is more like 40 minutes to Moab. And there is a train that comes through frequently that we weren't expecting. But that's the only concerns I have. Clean and comfy is the most important thing. (Wifi was spotty, we didn't really use the TV and when we tried to stream something it went to a random tv.) Had fun exploring Sego and seeing the old cemetery and petroglyphs.

Clean and Comfortable
My family of 5 stayed at Movie House for 2 nights while we were visiting National Parks. It was roomy enough for everyone and had everything we needed. The grill and patio were great! A quick note for anyone who is extra sensitive to scents: the cleaning products used (we think for the floor) have a strong scent. My husband is very sensitive to smells and had to sit outside for a short time while we aired the house out. He was fine after that and we enjoyed our stay!

It's just a huge house. The living room is themed after Western movies. And it was great! Moreover, excellent beds, a large table in the dining room and everything you need in the kitchen. Absolutely luxury washing and drying machines. I recommend it to everyone, you won’t regret it!!!

Awesome house in Thompson Springs
We stayed for 1 night on our way to Zion as it was the halfway point between home and there. This place was perfect- affordable, exactly as was described in the listing, clean, and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone else.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this location. It was a quiet retreat after exploring the surrounding areas. We would definitely recommend this house if you are looking for a quiet and convenient location near Arches, Moab, and/or Canyonlands.

Great, except...
The property was nice, clean, easy to find. Unfortunately the trains were loud and came by about 5 times the first night (only once the second night), also there weren't too many entertaining things to do in the house (games, puzzles, etc.). There is a selection of movies at the office and if you like westerns you're in luck. There were only a couple that were okay for kids to watch so we didn't even bother. It was an easy place to stay if you wanted to go to Arches and the petroglyphs up the street were fun to go see.

Great for kids
My 3 kids ages 12, 11, and 9, as well as my parents in their 60's had such a great time in Thompson Springs. Our rental house had plenty of space and all we needed to cook and eat well. It took us a couple cold showers to learn how to work the warm water, but there was indeed warm water. We were happy to have a washer and dryer in the house as well after the kids played in the sand and dirt all day. Breath-taking sights, relaxed staff, and comfortable beds helped make our vacation unforgetable.

Clean, comfortable and well stocked!
This was a very nice place to stay and was perfect for our family. The location was good for us as it was nice and quiet and not too far from all of the National and State Parks we wanted to visit. This is located in a place without any amenities and so you did have to travel at least 25 miles for groceries or to go to eat, but that was fine with us. We shipped on our way and cooked most of our meals. The place was well stocked and included all the pots and pans I needed as well as a gas grill with utensils and a crockpot. They even included laundry detergent for the washer and dryer. We really enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect place for our family of 5!

Home away from home
Property has everything needed to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Basics are provided such as dishes, pots/pans, aluminum foil, salt pepper, coffee/creamer/sugar, and standard appliances. Hot water heater tank is on the smaller side but shouldnt be a problem if you wait a short period in between showers and/or take shorter showers. The drive to Moab isn't terrible and it's worth it as the coat to stay here is significantly cheaper than anywhere in Moab. It is a quiet area, at least in the off season. Will be a repeat customer.

Awesome Desert Stay
We loved our stay here! The house was in a great location, had gorgeous views and Sego Canyon just north of the house has really amazing petroglyphs and canyon to explore. The house itself was very comfortable, lots of room to stretch out and relax. The kitchen was huge and had everything we needed for cooking. The beds were super plush and comfortable. We enjoyed having the space to take our dogs out to the bathroom and walk them around the area. I know other reviews talked about the trains being noisy, we brought our noise machine and never heard them or woke up from them in the night. It's a short drive to Moab but we really liked how easy it was to access Green River and other nearby towns too. We will definitely be staying here again!

Great stay in Thompson Springs
We thoroughly enjoyed our 11-day stay in the 'Movie House'. The space was nicely decorated, clean, and spacious. There wasn't one item we needed that wasn't already provided. The drive to the mtb trails, national parks and Moab was easy to do, and we loved being away from the busyness of the town. The office staff at Ballard RV Park were helpful and couteous. This will be our 'go to' place for futures visits!

The movie house was just what we needed. After a few nights on BLM land in our van, our stay there was great. Stars were unreal. Easy on / Easy off. Pulling in, wasn't sure what to expect but WOW. Place was very well set up with everything we needed. Would DEFF stay there again, especially so close to Moab, Arches and so much more. Thanks again. S&A

Great Views!
This was a trip for my father in laws 80th birthday. He is a huge John Wayne fan and wanted to come to Moab. The Movie House was perfect for us. Communication and directions on how to find the property was great. The house was cool and welcoming upon our arrival. We had plenty of room to relax in between our activities. It is quite a drive into Moab, but the views made it worthwhile.
