This little cabin surpassed all of our expectations. My kids were in heaven sleeping in the loft. It was the perfect size to get a good nights rest overnight before hitting the road again. I would highly recommend this special little place. If we are ever in this area again, we will be staying again.
We stayed 2 nights while visiting parks near by. The cabin was clean and comfortable. Quiet and easy to access and find. We had wonderful communication from the host.
I don't know how the host managed to have the herd of deer meet us at the property entrance but we thought it was a nice touch. The full September moon and sky full of stars was breathtaking! The cabin was beautiful inside and out. We would rate it as an excellent stay.
Very comfortable and clean. Well stocked property. We wanted a place to stay that was central to the places we wanted to see. The was perfect. Very quiet. Great night sky viewing. Highly recommend.
My family and I enjoyed the cabin house very much. Wonderful view, quiet and peaceful. Perfect location to explore Utah. Highly recommend staying.

Everything about this place was fantastic. It is located between several national parks and on a ranch. What else could you ask for? So quiet and peaceful with perfect stargazing and wildlife all around! The cabin was spotless. Would definitely stay there again!
Perfect location to severel parks and hikes. Check in/out was easy. Communication was easy. In all this was a great experience and one we hope to do again in the near future. Woke up on the 3rd day to deer and turkey all around the cabin. So peaceful and quiet.
Where we really enjoyed our two nights stay. Wish we had longer. Clean comfortable well kept place. We will definitely rent again when we are in the area. Thank you!
We’ve been coming here now for 8 years and this was our 3rd stay with Canyonlands…cannot say enough how wonderful these folks are how amazing the cabins are! The location couldn’t be better, within an hour of every major park in southeast Utah, as well as decent proximity to Monticello, Blanding, Moab, and Cortez, CO. We absolutely love the folks maintaining these cabins and expect to be here again every year until we can finally build our own!
The Ranch Cabin has everything that you need. The design of the cabin makes great use of the space in it. The beds were comfortable and having a full kitchen available was helpful. It was also very clean with plenty of towels for our family of 5. Thanks for the great visit.
