Secluded Vacation Rental for Six near the Colorado River in Moab, Western Utah

This property is located 17 miles from Moab on a mostly dirt road. It's only 17 miles but it will take an hour. Guests don't normally need four-wheel drive to get here but some ground clearance would help. If height is an issue, there will be lots of issues driving up and down Hurrah Pass on the journey to Base Camp. There are unlimited hikes on and from the property. Dinosaur tracks, fossils, all types of geology, petrified wood, critters of all kinds to include, fox, ringtail, spotted skunk, badger, raccoon, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and a nearly 200 pound African Spur tortoise that lives here.

The day views are tremendous and the night sky unbelievable. There are hundreds of birds, squirrels, and chipmunks that do also. Close by there are mines, caves, springs, pottery sherds, arrowhead flakes, petroglyphs, abandoned oil well, and long-forgotten structures.

It is not Arches, Canyonlands, Bear Ears, or Dead Horse State Park. Yes, there are arches, balanced rocks, hikes with incredible canyon views, and almost everything guests could imagine and more. The one thing guests won't find that all those places have are the crowds. There are five rooms at this property and six next door at Last Hurrah and even if completely full that's still generally less than 20 or 30 across this huge landscape versus the hundreds or thousands at the parks.

Guests who want to spend time at the parks should probably visit them before they drive out or after checking out of this property. Those who want to experience the night sky with more stars than ever known, see critters in their natural environment, put their feet on grounds that may have never been walked on before, and maybe get their hands a little dirty, exploring this incredible landscape is just the place.

There is not a day that the host does not wake up and know what a special place this is. It's amazing and the host is happy to share it.
