The space
Come escape at our unique private space just outside of Moab. We are surrounded by towering red rock formations on the bank of the Colorado River.

We're in the heart of Moab's backcountry so there is plenty of hiking, climbing & adventuring to be had both at our site and nearby! Our ranch is located 45 minutes from Moab, so you really get the OFF-GRID experience. With minimal light pollution the stars are UNREAL. You don't want to miss it!

We are a rustic and secluded ranch in the heart of canyon country that is completely remote, with the most spectacular views sure to make your stay with us a highlight of the trip.

You will receive detailed directions 2 days before your arrival however, the last 2 miles of our road is ROUGH. so please be aware if this is something you do not want to deal with.

Our ranch water is filtered and tested, but due to the age of the system we provide some bottled water for drinking needs.

The caves are naturally temperature regulated however we do utilize an evaporated cooling unit and we have propane heaters available on site for rent at $25/tank.

Please plan ahead to bringing needed food or supplies with you for the evening. Our amazing location is not as convenient for a quick trip to the store or restaurant.

We continue to re-vitalize this amazing location and are excited to share it with our friends visiting Moab. As we continue to make improvements to this rustic venue, we hope you will forgive a few rough spots. We have turned up the resolution of the night sky so that the stars can add to your experience.

We offer Tiny Homes, Queen & Family Glamping Tents, Cave studios and Primitive Campsites.
