This is an incredible place that is off the beaten path. Know that the 12mile drive along the dirt road is really an ATV trail that should not be driven in the dark since most of the drive is along the canyon cliffs. It took us about 90min along the unpaved path, but it is more of a rocky trail than just an unpaved path. I would recommend bringing drinking water and the supplies you want for the whole stay. They did provide drinking water . Driving back and forth into town is a solid amount of time. I recommend spending the evening with the host to see all the night critters being fed as well as getting out on the river with kayaks. The property is an incredible space to explore and spend the evenings looking at the stars. If you are a runner, enjoy some cross country trail time back up to hurrah pass or the wind caves. This is actually a section and stop on the MOAB 240 race and connected to some of the Jeep Trails such as Chicken Corners and cliff hanger road.

The ride in is ROUGH, but we stayed 3 nights so it was worth it. 18 miles in 2 hrs in our Jeep rental. Get a Jeep! And get there before dark. We got there about 20 minutes before pitch dark, tired and hungry. Tom showed us to the house, told us the necessities and continued with stories. We wanted to eat and go to bed!But he was a superb host, telling us where to hike, what to see, even serving as guide. He also transported our paddles and life vests to river and offered to shuttle us to and from...bc our Jeep got a flat. The place is AMAZING, and Tom and his stories are great too, but not when I'm tired and hungry. We loved Tom.The house was comfortable and we had a fire in the pit every night. Loved our back patio. The room temp was comfortable for sleeping in late September with ceiling fan. A stay

If you are looking for a Vrbo that is spa like, lacking adventure or find yourself high maintenance, then this place is not for you. If you are looking for epic views, a rustic charm, a quirky owner who loves to tell stories, and don’t mind a little red dust, then this is for you. The “road” or more like a path, to this location is definitely not for your mini-van or sedan. You will most certainly need a 4x4. There are switch backs, loose rocks and cliffs. There are not many, if any places to turn around. Tom, the owner, drives it at night but most people would not want to. On the drive out, it took us 1 hr 30 minutes in a Jeep. We were greeted by Tom who escorted us to our house with his little shadow Jax, his loving dog that won’t leave his side. The property had all the basic home essentials like towels, bedding, pillows, cook wear, utensils, grill, bug sprays, fans, etc. Tom gave us a hand-drawn map of the area to get to the wind-caves. We had walkie talkies available to communicate with him if needed. Of note: we starting thinking we were having a sewage problem, but turns out we just bumped the knobs on the oven and we’re releasing natural gas. They were extremely sensitive and after that we were hyper vigilant to not bump them. There are nightly hotdog feedings to wild raccoons, skunks and foxes. They just show up! There is a tortoise on property that gets fed. -bring all your food. -fill up your tank -bring your free spirit and sense of adventure

We’ve traveled with our young family all over the country, this is one of the most spectacular places we have stayed. Tom and crew do an amazing job and we will definitely be back.
