Utah Cabin
Extra clean well maintained cabin in Utah. Great for train enthusiast because of train tracks in the area. Close enough to Moab and the parks. Reasonably priced.

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!

Excellent Value
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!

Wonderful Property!
Beautiful property located in Thompson Springs. Lots of local history and sight seeing to take advantage of. Property was immaculate and fully stocked with everything you would need. I took advantage of the area to explore the nearby canyons and had a wonderful time exploring the area. I would highly recommend this property!

Great place to stay
The home was clean and comfortable and very spacious for our family of 6. It was recently updated with new flooring in the living room & dining room. Very quiet town. The trains were not very frequent and typically did not pass by in the middle of the night. It was approximately 45 minutes from Moab which was nice to escape from the busyness of Jeep week. We visited Arches, Canyonlands and Goblin Valley State Park during our stay.

Moab Gem
A bit off the beaten path away from the crowds in Moab, great place to stay and bring the RZrs. No need to trailer to sites, just ride from your front door to access numerous trails. Very quiet, next to Book Cliffs with lots of history.,

Wonderful stay!
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!!

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.

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.

good
my family and I appreciated the lodging. pros- nice people running the place - nice place - well stocked - excellent value - away from any moab bustle (we are more country type people) - interesting history to the town cons - no internet (unfortunately i needed it for work and had to drive about 40 min to the moab library to get it) - train whistle wakes your kids up at 2AMish nightly (place is about 30 yards from the tracks) Overall a solid 5 star. Hope to stay there again.
