About this property

Quaint Home In Town With Rural Feel!

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!

Peaceful Retreat at Desert Blue

Our stay at Desert Blue was top notch. The house was immaculate and very nicely appointed. The area was conveniently located by shops, restaurants, and various outfitters. Even though it's in a prime location, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. We absolutely would return to Desert Blue if we ever visit Moab again! The house and the town are at the top of our list for favorites when it comes to vacationing!

Great Stay with Thoughtful Touches!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming home in Moab! The rustic vibe is adorable and carried throughout the space with thoughtful, welcoming touches that made it feel cozy and cared for. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, the peaceful, beautifully landscaped backyard was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring.The home was well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable.The location is ideal—just a short drive to both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The owner was also incredibly understanding and flexible, which made the experience even better. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Moab!

May 2025 stay in Moab

The back yard was great!But all the soaps and other liquids in the house had fragrance products in them. I put these all under the sinks, but when I returned home I had to wash everything, even containers.

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!
