About this property

Edge of the Desert Slickrock Cabin #12

Adventure meets comfort in this fun, family-friendly cabin inspired by Moab’s legendary Slickrock Trail! Just 1.5 miles from downtown, this cozy retreat sleeps 6 and features a private bedroom, loft, full kitchen, private deck, and everything you need after a day of exploring Arches, Canyonlands, or the nearby bike trails. The perfect home base for your desert getaway!

Edge of the Desert is conveniently located at 1251 Millcreek Drive on the east side of Moab, offering the perfect balance of easy access and peaceful surroundings. Just minutes from the Sand Flats Recreation Area, you’ll be close to some of Moab’s most iconic outdoor experiences—including mountain biking trails, Fins & Things, and the legendary Hell's Revenge off-road route.

The area is a unique mix of residential and commercial, giving you a sense of community while still being close to restaurants, shops, and all that Moab has to offer.

Whether you're here to explore, relax, or both, you'll love our central yet quiet location as your launchpad for adventure.

Getting Here

Edge of the Desert is just 1.5 miles from the heart of downtown Moab—a quick 3 to 4-minute drive to restaurants, shops, and local attractions.

✔️ Arches National Park is only 5 miles north, with an easy 10 to 15-minute drive to the park entrance.
✔️ Canyonlands National Park (Island in the Sky District) is about 35 miles away, and typically takes 45 minutes to reach by car.
✔️ For a more remote experience, the Needles District (south entrance of Canyonlands) is around an hour’s drive from our property.

Whether you’re here to explore the parks, cruise the trails, or enjoy downtown Moab, you’ll find that Edge of the Desert puts you right where you need to be.

Great stay in cabin #12

The cabin was clean and comfortably furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evening. Throughout our week-long stay, we found Edge of the Desert to be quiet and peaceful. The location provides easy access to restaurants and the grocery store without the congestion of downtown Moab. We would definitely stay here again.
