We are a rustic and secluded ranch in the heart of canyon country that is completely remote, with the most spectacular views sure to make your stay with us a highlight of the trip.

You will receive detailed directions 2 days before your arrival however, the last 2 miles of our road is ROUGH. so please be aware if this is something you do not want to deal with.

Our ranch water is filtered and tested, but due to the age of the system we provide some bottled water for drinking needs.

Please plan ahead to bring needed food or supplies with you for the evening. Our amazing location is not as convenient for a quick trip to the store or restaurant.

We continue to revitalize this amazing location and are excited to share it with our friends visiting Moab. As we continue to make improvements to this rustic venue, we hope you will forgive a few rough spots. We have turned up the resolution of the night sky so that the stars can add to your experience.

We offer Queen & Family Glamping Tents, Cave studios and Primitive Campsites.

We are often visited by deer, rabbits, and the elusive Desert Bighorn Sheep along with many others.

Sunset and Sunrise are a special time on the ranch when the red rock glows and the light dances on the cliffs. It is our favorite part of being so secluded in nature.
