About this property

Welcome to Desert Blue

This home is for 4 guests or less. It is not able to accommodate large trailers as it is on a narrow access road and a dead end. It would be difficult to turn around.

Our remodeled home is in the heart of Moab but feels a world away. The house is situated down a dirt lane which turns into a private road with very little traffic. It is quiet and peaceful with a truly rural feel. Our location is ideal! It is easy walking distance to main street; the recreation center with pool and fitness center; paved bike path and many other conveniences of town.

This older home has been remodeled. We have custom cabinets, granite counter tops, beautiful hard wood floor through out and new kitchen appliances. We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each with walk in showers. The large bedroom has a king size memory foam bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed with its own full bathroom. The third bedroom has two twin beds and is very small. The furnishings are uniquely rustic and eclectic with a luxurious at home feel.

Enjoy sitting or eating on the back patio in the large newly landscaped yard. We have a BBQ grill on the patio and also other seating areas around the property for you to relax and enjoy the surrounding red rock views. This lot is very private!

Going to town? No need to deal with parking when visiting main street. We have plenty of parking.

This is a great place to unwind after all your Moab adventures. .... come, put up your feet and enjoy!

Wedding in Moab

Family and friends gathered in Moab for a wedding. We stayed at this perfect little cottage for a few nights and absolutely loved it, as did everyone who came by to visit! We hope to visit Moab again and will definitely stay here again.

Great location!

Andrea’s place is perfect for our family of 4 to explore Arches and Canyonland NPs. House has everything we need (thank you for having a hiking stick that I can use to keep up with the rest of the family), location is very private and yet so close to downtown. It’s wonderful!

Another Amazing Stay

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Andrea’s place in Moab. It was just as great the 2nd time around. From the get go, Andrea is attentive and answers questions promptly. The house is very close to town, about 2 blocks to Main Street, has ample room inside and outside with a stocked kitchen. The patio is amazing and the weather was warm enough to grill and hang out in the backyard. We will definitely be back! We have stayed at a lot of places over the years in Moab, and this is one of the best! Thanks!

Loved it!

Charming house situated just a couple of streets from the center of town. Fully stocked with anything you might need. Two 'wings' with one bedroom off the living room to the left and the other two bedrooms off to the right. Provided a nice amount of privacy as we were travelling with our son and his wife. Area was very quiet. Back patio was a relaxing retreat. Andrea responded to our questions very promptly. We would recommend her house to our family and friends!

Great little place!

Nice little house, worked great for our two couples to stay 4 nights while touring parks. Cooked at home 3 nights and had everything we needed. A pinch hard to find but the location was quiet and walkable to downtown. Definitely recommend!

Charming, roomy rancher blocks from downtown Moab

Highly recommended. Andrea was super communicative and helpful. Everything was as described. The covered back porch with the lights is a cozy space to sit and talk. The property is down an alley way but that didn’t bother us.

A great place to stay!

Close to all the parks to explore around Moab and walkable to restaurants in Moab. Quiet neighbourhood. Very clean, and the owner was quick to respond and to solve any issue. Comfortable beds. Great to have a possibility to park the care in the shade in those very hot summerdays. Very recommendable

Perfect location and fantastic host

Absolutely the best 3 bedroom house to stay at in Moab. Walking distance to everywhere downtown and quiet neighbors when you just want to chill inside or outside the house. This newly remodeled house is in fantastic condition and has everything you'll need, and the host quickly replies to any question that you may have. Book it now before someone else reads this review and grabs this ideal rental house before you can.

We live in Utah and first arrived in Moab 30 years ago. It has been a very special place for us ever since. We are often working, climbing, hiking and exploring here. We purchased this property in June 2014 and have spent the summer working on it. We hope you can enjoy the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We loved the quiet lot next to town,
lots of wild life because we are close to the creek,
walking to the town for coffee and gelato,
close to national parks
close to restaurants,
close to the river,
close to climbing ,
close to bike trails ,
lots of exploring!
