Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
The cabin itself was fine. The location was less than desirable. It is in the middle of an RV park. A very crowded RV park. Also, incredibly close to route 191 with lots and lots of traffic. The VRBO photos lead one to believe that the cabin is a bit isolated. It is not. All that being said, the cabin itself was comfortable, clean and well provisioned.

Great stay at Big Horn Log Cabin

Overall we had a very good stay there. Reed was very friendly and helpful, loaned us a new coffee maker when we asked. Great spot to stargaze. Very spacious and comfortable main floor. Upper loft was very open. It was very cold outside, but the heater downstairs and the split upstairs were great. When we arrived, the bathroom toilet bowl was dirty but we cleaned it out. The washing machine was dirty and leaked. Overall, though, we enjoyed the place and were glad we stayed there. Thank you.

Slice of heaven

This cabin was exactly what we wanted - quiet and calm. It doesn't feel secluded when you pull up and there are definitely others around but everyone is doing their own thing. The cabin was very clean! We would definitely go back

Would stay again

As a couple of seniors, we enjoyed our stay. We especially liked having our suppers on the porch while watching the sun setting on the far hills. Yes, Road noise is an issue, but we slept through it. It would be nice to have the sliding porch door fixed so we could have had fresh air move through the cabin. But we would still recommend the cabin and would stay here again.

Nice cabin near national parks

The cabin was clean and comfortable. Checking in was easy except that the address on VRBO led us to the wrong driveway a few hundred yards south of the entrance. Based on the pictures, we'd expected a more secluded setting, so were surprised to find it in the middle of an RV park very close to Hwy 191. It was quiet though during our early-February stay. (Would feel quite different in a busier season, we imagine.) Great bed and bedding in the loft bedroom up a narrow spiral staircase (the only bathroom is downstairs). Comfortable couch and chairs, plenty of hot water for bathtub and shower, good kitchen. Indoor table and dining chairs for only two people (2 tray tables also available). Great wrap-around deck with more tables, chairs, grill, etc. but we didn't use in the February cold.

Everything was exactly as described except - 1. The internet is very weak. Cannot even open a webpage; 2. Might be tricky to find if arriving at night. Overall, great place.

A Fair Review

We stayed at the Big Horn cabin for 3 nights during the first week of September. First, there is no central air in the cabin, only a wall mounted ac unit which provided next to nothing, so the place was HOT. Next, the back sliding door was broken, so the only entrance was the front door. The hot tub was gross, there was dirt and leaves in the bottom and it seemed like the property manager didn't care to give it a clean after previous guests. We had issues getting the propane fire pit to work, and the wood rocking chairs were falling apart. The back patio offers a view of construction and mobile homes. When the curtains are drawn, people walking by will be able to see right into the cabin. The location is right off the highway so the sound of trucks driving by is not the best, especially at night. Overall, the place was clean, yet seemed very old. I believe a 2-star review is fair. Good luck.

Disliked: Location
I didn't think I'd be surrounded by caravans and bungalows. Nor did I think that the chalet was just a few meters from the road, and therefore subject to the noise pollution you can imagine (lots of trucks on this road).In addition, the light from the air-conditioning in the upstairs bedroom doesn't make sleeping any easier, nor does the upstairs window which has no curtain, and the top of the front door which also takes light to the ground floor at night.Otherwise, the chalet itself is quite nice.

Super misleading description and photos

We looked at a few options in/around Moab before deciding to chose the remote cabin with a cool view. We figured while we wouldn't have walkable access to downtown, at least we could chill in our own space. Nope. When we drove up we realized our cabin is in the middle of an RV campground. I don't know if the picture is faked or just extremely carefully framed, but you're gonna be super intimate with bunch of RVs; that's the situation. As we drove up and came to this realization, we almost turned around to give up on the paid reservation and go figure something else out, but gosh we already paid for it and we were tired, so we pulled in to figure it out. It was fine. The cabin was fine. There's a pull-out bed downstairs and a normal bed upstairs, and a decent kitchen. It was fine. But I'm knocking off stars because the expectations fell so short of the reality.

The cabin built in the 1950s is the original homestead of the land. Nice size for family of 2 to 4. Was chilly in the mornings but warmed up quickly. Was surprised to find a was in an RV park. Laundry facility is new and noce.

Mixed review

I have really mixed reviews of this place. The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and inviting which we loved. The view was amazing. However, the pictures were a little misleading. My impression was that this cabin would be a little secluded which was what I had hoped for. It is not. It is right next to the busy at all hours highway and smack dab in the middle of an RV park. I was not expecting that. The cabin says it has a washer and a dryer. There was not laundry available in the cabin itself, rather in another building in the RV park. The location was nearby Arches and Canyonlands which was why we wanted to stay here. It's a few miles outside of Moab.

About the host

Hosted by Reed Pendleton

Host profile image
"At Red Desert RV Park, we’re trying constantly improve the quality of our accommodations and services by looking through the eyes of our guests, because that’s who we are too! We are a true Mom and Pop, locally owned business which is rare in the overnight industry of this town. We have a family of 8 and love the outdoors and Moab has become our home the last decade and we don't have plans to leave. Our hope is to create a unique place to stay for those who come to Moab to play. Whether you come to off-road, rock climb, mountain bike, hike or kayak, we hope to make your trip a little more enjoyable by taking care of the simple things for you."

Why they chose this property

Red Desert RV Park is a true "Mom & Pop" property. We offer clean, comfortable, dog friendly cabins. The expansion of the RV Park is in direct response to the need of travelers in the area and constant re-development of older campgrounds into other accommodations. We are located 8 miles south of Moab in Spanish Valley directly off the highway. We are also 12 miles from Arches National Park and 45 minutes from Canyonlands National Park so conveniently located close to the heart of what the area has to offer recreation wise. We have 5 adobe cabins with full baths, kitchenettes and fenced in back porches. We also have a Log home, called Big Horn cabin, it's a true log home with a lofted bedroom, full bath & kitchen, a huge wrap around porch equipped with an propane firepit and propane grill. Our 55 newly constructed RV sites are all full hookups and mostly pull throughs and our new bathhouse/laundry building will be a wonderful addition for guests. We have 8 additional camping cabins that we will be installing in spring 2024 and have other future additions to add to make this place the one everyone wants to stay at.

What makes this property unique

Located in Spanish Valley, approx. 8 miles from downtown Moab, this property is perfect for those balancing location with privacy. Guests are within minutes of the major attractions and the downtown shopping areas, but are far enough out of town to avoid traffic and crowds. We are also locally owned so our money stays local and we continue to invest in Moab as a whole to grow and sustain the entire community.
