The M-4 cabin gets its name from Ross W Musselman who came to southeastern Utah in 1932. Ross was one of the most colorful of San Juan’s early cowboy promoters. In 1949 he moved his ranch from Boulder Utah to the Pack Creek area at the base of the LaSal Mountains. He continued to run cattle, host guests and take scenic trips for ten years. Musselman Arch in Canyonlands was named after him by The National Park Service. Today, Pack Creek Ranch retains the beauty and peace that first attracted him. Only 15 miles from Moab but a world apart from the bustle of town, the Ranch sits 2,000 feet above Moab offering a cooler, quiet retreat.

M-4 retains its log cabin feel and has a modern bath and kitchen – stocked with all the cookware you’ll need. It sleeps 6 with a queen bed in the main floor bedroom and another queen and two singles in the expansive loft. On cool nights there’s a fossil-studded rock fireplace to take the chill off. The cabin is surrounded with mature trees providing plenty of shade. The large, east-facing, front porch is ideal for grilling and rocking chairs provide a relaxing spot after a day of enjoying this amazing piece of Utah. The giant front lawn is the perfect place for kids to roam. WiFi included but we’re TV free.

The Ranch barns and pastures, including one with a small goat herd, retain the land’s ranching history and a spa and swimming pool (typically open between Memorial day and Labor day) provide relaxation and a cooling respite on hot days. Wild turkeys, deer, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, great horned owls frequent the property. We also have a large area set aside for parking gear trailers away from the cabins.

M-4 is dog friendly. There’s a $15 per night fee for 1 or 2 dogs with a maximum of 2. Dogs aren’t allowed without prior approval and guest agreement to the nightly fee. We require a credit card on file for reservations with pets.
