THIS HOUSE ONLY SLEEPS 2! We are 35 miles North of Moab and 30 miles north of Arches National Park. We are just 1 mile off of I-70 exit 187, which is the closest exit to the Moab exit #182. We are close enough to be convenient ,and yet far enough away to be secluded. The house is clean and new and is perfect for a couple who is not wanting to spend a fortune . There is a fully equipped kitchen ,complete with pots and pans.

Off the beaten path, clean and well-stocked for just 1 or 2 people. Easy access to Moab and nearby parks to stay clear of the crowds in town. Best for heavy sleepers because of the train! A decent trade-off if you aren't a fan off all the movement through Moab. The heater went out due to heavy winds, but there were extra blankets and office provided an extra space heater to help.

My husband and I have stayed at Ballard park at least 5 times now. It is a great location (much more affordable than actually staying in Moab) for getting around Arches, Canyonlands (Island in the Sky) are less than an hour away, Goblin Valley and Hanksville area are about an hour away. The check in/ check out process is very easy and the people are very friendly and helpful. They have two sets of washers and dryers in the office area for use and I've never had to wait in line to use them. Please be aware though that there is only a convenience gas station close by. The closest markets would be Green River or Moab. Just make sure to bring some foods with you so you don't have to drive every day. There is plenty of pots/pans/plates and utensils for use in the units. There is also a full size fridge which is very nice. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

Perfect amount of space for 2. Had everything we needed to stay for a couple days. We drove a little away from the property for stargazing due to one (of only 2) of the street lights being right next to us.
