Nice stay for our road trip

The house was clean and comfortable. The host helped me with special requests for scented items to be removed. The area was pretty and quiet. You kind of feel like you're out in the country. They have fire pits which I think would be nice for a longer stay.

Great little spot!

Very nice for a tiny home! Hot water was pretty limited and internet wasn't great. Just sitting in the middle of a gravel lot, nothing special, but we loved this as a cozy stop on our road trip through Utah!

Convenient and quiet

Convenient location to Moab, canyon hikes and the national parks nearby. This place was perfect for me and my two dogs to go explore during the day and then come back to shower and pass out! Occasional train heard but otherwise quiet.

Perfect home away from home

This was a very comfortable and well equipped park model. A/C worked great. Loved the cooler nights. Turned off A/C and opened the windows for a lovely cool nights sleep. Appreciated that the pots and pans they had for cooking were quite decent. Nice fridge/freezer with ice maker too. Ample towels, paper products abd dishwasher soap. We had a wonderful 3 day stay. Thanks

GhOsT tOwN gEtAwAy!

This was my first VRBO experience and I really enjoyed it! I picked this particular stay because of its location, I didnt know of Thompson Springs, at all, but i liked that it was close to the city but still not in city. We arrived 3 hours before check in, and used that time to drive around the town and check out what Thompson is about. At the far end of town is an old single room school house which directs you to an excellent display of 3 petroglyphs, an old stone dutch oven, and the abandoned remains of Thompson Springs in the canyon. We had an amazing time even in just those 3 hours and then we still had the rest of our vacation to enjoy Moab, but i still chose to go up that canyon atleast once everyday we were there. I absolutely loved this stay and will definitely return. Its only about 30 minutes from Moab, and about 10 from Jacka$$ Joes delicious jerky at Crescent Junction! Also have fun finding the hidden arch!!

Great value and location, except for the freight trains

The house was fully stocked with kitchen utensils, linens, towels, soap, and shampoo. There was ample storage space and a comfortable bed. Check-in was smooth and easy. Moab felt very close with a drive down the highway. On the downside, I found the freight trains at all hours of the night blaring their horns to be annoying.

Great alternative to staying in Moab

We were unsure what to expect after booking this place outside of Moab, but were very pleasantly surprised when we got there. The tiny house is very nice and clean, and was a nice change from the Moab crowds. We enjoyed the relaxing feel of being out in the middle of nowhere. The RV park where the tiny house is located was pretty full, but the atmosphere was nice and quiet, and even our dog enjoyed the tranquility. As mentioned in other reviews, be sure and bring your own meals, as there is only a gas station/quick shop in the area. We did grab some of their wings and a prepackaged salad for dinner one night, and we were good. The trains which occasionally pass by can be annoying at first, but we grew used to that too. Others had mentioned having to take quick showers if you want hot water, but with a little planning, that was a non issue also. No one should be taking 10 min showers these days with our water shortage issues, people! We were mostly impressed by the room in this tiny house. High ceilings and lots of windows make it feel bigger than it is, and it has everything in it you need for a great stay. We’d definitely stay again if we’re in the area!

Middle of Nowhere

What a fun experience! Our park model was all we could ask for and we enjoyed walking around learning about what used to be. Train whistles were jolting in the middle of the night but they were part of the whole picture.
