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.

Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024

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.

About the host

I have always enjoyed freedom and the outdoors and adventure starts in this part of Utah

Why they chose this property

This property is for those who want peace, quiet and lots of freedom. The best dinosaur tracks in the world are a nice little 11 mile ride to the south. 4500 year old Indian paintings are just 3 miles north of town. A lot of wildlife passes through the little town, including herds of antelope and deer. Black bear has been spotted in town and there is a herd of buffalo in the nearby Book Cliffs. Moab is just 30 miles to the south , so if you get lonely for heavy traffic and lots of people, it's a relatively short drive.

What makes this property unique

This property is surrounded by hundreds of miles of ATV trails that can be accessed from the front door . In 2012 myself and 8 others rode our ATVs from the front door to Arizona (504 miles one way ) and never crossed private property. In 2014 we rode ATVS from the front door to Wyoming ( 384miles one way)
