    12 Moab Vacation Rentals Near Arches National Park

    William Stupp
    July 15, 2022

    Erosion is a force so powerful that it can literally move mountains. It also exercises a strong pull on the human brain, creating structures so beautiful and awe-inspiring as to boggle the mind. The canyons, arches, hoodoos, caves, cliffs, and buttes of Utah are some of the impactful manifestations of the magnificent power of wind and water to shape Earth and leave people breathless. 

    Videos by TravelAwaits

    Moab is the launching pad for many a Utah adventure. Situated on the banks of the Colorado, the river responsible for the creation of so many of Utah’s incredible sights, it is a great location to stay for those wishing to explore some of the state’s most wonderful areas. The small town of 5,000 people is directly south of Arches National Park and a few dozen miles northeast of Canyonlands National Park.

    Despite its size, Moab is a hub for unforgettable outdoor adventures. It is within a couple of hours’ drive of many of the state’s greatest treasures — not only Arches and Canyonlands but Goblin Valley, Capitol Reef, and so much more. 

    Moab is also host to a large selection of outdoor adventure companies. If you plan to do more than just drive through the desert to the area’s various wonders, Moab, with its rafting companies, skydiving, bike rentals, and more, is the place to be.

    We’ve selected 12 incredible Vrbo house rentals near Moab, chosen for their beauty, comfortableness, and ease of access to Arches and other incredible beauty spots.

    Namaste Rock$455/nightly avg

    Located on a country road a few miles northwest of Moab and 10 minutes from the main entrance to Arches, this delightfully isolated home is a gateway to the solitary joys of desert life. There are beautiful views in every direction. Sit on the deck and discover which way the desert calls you.

    Great for a family or small group, the home has a king room, a queen room, and a room with two sets of bunk beds. Isolated but within minutes of Moab, Arches, and Canyonlands, the location really is unbeatable.

    I loved this place. Out on the open plains. No body around. Tons of stars at night. Nice house set up. The solar lanterns are key!! Very helpful both day and night. Nice deck with ample seating. Kitchen has what you need to cook. Grill and fire pit outside. Close enough but far enough away from the rush. Takes maybe 15 minutes to drive to town. I’d stay here, again and again. Thanks Mike for sharing your home with us.
    Stunning 360 degree views! You can see Arches from the back deck and watch incredible sunrises. Star gazing is awesome right from the house! Michael was a wonderful host. The property was VERY clean & had all the amenities you could ever need. We had the absolute best week there. Wish we had more time to explore the area! Hiking right from the house and even got some milky way photos from the house as well. Truly a gem! I read a previous renters review and they stated the RV park next door was a downfall but I truly don’t believe that is true. It is not close, there are no lights creating light pollution at night and we never heard a single sound from there. It may not be the prettiest view but trust me when I tell you the entire rest of the property has an incredible view! We loved our stay at Namaste Rock & can’t wait to return!
    Loved the location. Loved the house. A bit dated but everything worked perfectly. Great communication, insane views. I’ll stay here every time I head back to Moab!
    Lovely open plan full of windows and light making it feel as if you are part of the environment! Fun landscape to explore and view from the deck out back. My teens were happy with all the amenities and places to run and play. We never tired taking in all the sites! Close to both Canyonlands (25) and Arches (10 mins). Walking Main Street in DT Moab was nice if you want to buy some Touristy things , but if you like beer checkout the Moab Brewery! All in all a fantastic stay at Namaste Rock.
    Great place to stay while visiting Moab. Highly recommend . Very clean , beautiful views . We arrived in daylight and had no issues with finding the property .

    This is our second stay at this property.The property is centrally located and within walking distance of everything in Moab. The home is set up with multiple spaces that are perfect for socializing and bringing a group together for conversation and interaction. Multiple patios are a plus and the property is located on a dead end (plenty of Parking) so it’s very quiet and private. However, there are MANY video cameras on the property too, which compromises the guest’s desire for privacy, at the expense of the owner’s needs to secure an amazing property when not rented.This property is very well appointed in nearly all respects and the overall quality is as it should be for this type of rental. Best rental in Moab, by far.Overall this is a fantastic property
    This home is incredibly comfortable, so much space to spread out. Dining area is spacious for everyone to have a seat at the table. Gorgeous home, everything you could ever need while on vacation. Plenty of parking also.
    The house was just what we needed for a great family vacation! Shae was very responsive when our door entry code failed to work.
    A very clean property and perfect for two families. We really loved the location to walk to everything. Plenty of towels and amenities for a large group.
    Our experience here was amazing and perfect for a girls weekend. Walkable to town and close to all kinds of adventures. A lovely backyard with a hot tub, fire pit and seating for everyone to relax after a long day of hiking. Very fast communication with the property manager. Highly recommended.

    Scenic Lodge On The Colorado River$135/nightly avg

    With hikes aplenty, abundant wildlife, beautiful mesas all around, and the Colorado River just a 5-minute walk from your front door, this isolated lodge is an incredible base for experiencing Utah. Relax on the beach or paddle out in a complimentary kayak — there are so many possibilities even without leaving the property.

    Though the location and amazing views are definitely the selling points here, the lodge itself is comfortable. Highly recommended for couples looking to have some alone time in the desert.

    Well worth the trip. Basecamp was as described. We had a great time walking the nearby trails and renting a side by side from Tom. We saw about 8 prairie grouse just inside the main gate and a large desert mule deer about 10 points, on a trail close by.
    This place is wonderful! Peaceful and quiet. You get to watch them feed the ringtails, skunks, foxes, raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen.
    It was our second stay with Tom and again it was great! Scenery is amazing around the property and lots of exciting things to do! I’m sure we’ll be back again.
    Might me going back for round 2. Great place to reset offgrid. Might be planning out more activities on our next comeback. Dont let hurrah pass doubt you just go for it and you’ll see what most if us are saying.
    What a wonderful journey and fun property. Would recommend to anyone seeking an adventure! Tom and Collin were great hosts.

    Luxurious Pet-Friendly Condo$613/nightly avg

    A few blocks west of Main Street, this dog-friendly condo offers a welcome respite from the desert sun. Relax around the community swimming pool or whip up a meal in the spacious kitchen. Great for a family keen to explore, the home has three bunk beds across two bedrooms and two king bedrooms for the adults.

    Make use of the free bikes to head on over to the local wetlands reserve and enjoy a walk on its short but scenic trails.

    We stayed at this beautiful property with family and friends, including our kids. No complaints! Clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. Would definitely come back!
    I can’t recommend this property management company enough. My go to when I go to Moab!!!
    The property has a great location. Nice place to share with friends. The kitchen was well equipped. Super nice to have a garage for the bikes too.
    The condo was very clean and very well stocked with all the needed essentials! Would definitely stay there again!
    Excellent property and wonderfully stocked. Plenty of room for everyone!

    Dog-Friendly Lodge On The Pack Creek$338/nightly avg

    A 15-minute drive south of Moab, this rustic lodge is a great place for a couple to check in and catch some shade in the lonely desert. The area hosts six other cabins, which all share a communal pool. For those keen on wilder waters, the Pack Creek flows directly behind the building.

    Admire the beautiful wood paneling while you plan tomorrow’s adventure. The building has a pioneer feel but modern kitchen and bathroom amenities. This more southerly location means easier access to Canyonlands, but Arches is still just 15 miles away. Dogs are welcome, as are additional guests (there’s a twin bed stashed away and a fold-out sofa).

    Large place to accommodate a big group, just not the best for sleeping big groups unless they’re good with the cots n couch! Overall would stay here again.
    Fantastic little village. There was a recent fire on the land so it will take some time (not too long) to bloom back but all in all was a great spot. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in a few months for the green to pop back. So lucky for everyones safety when that happened. Easy to get there and east to get around from there! We will be back to enjoy even more adventurous outlooks that Moab has to provide!!
    Cabin tucked below the mountains. Cozy and comfortable.
    This secluded property is nestled among about 6 other cabins. It was quiet and pretty, yet very close to Moab and the parks. Loved our stay.
    We loved everything about this place. My fiancé said it’sa cross between a cabin, farmhouse and museum. I think you could stay there a month and discover new things. The backdrop of the La Sal mountains was incredible. We’re already talking about going back next year!

    New Cabin Near Old La Sal$172/nightly avg

    Another great option for those that find that the middle of nowhere is somewhere they want to be, this new cabin near La Sal is a dream desert getaway. Forty miles of desert highway separate La Sal (population 339) from Moab and Arches. This means easier access to the southern (and superior) entrance to Canyonlands.

    The freshly-built cabin has high ceilings, a spacious kitchen, and room to sleep eight. If your stay is a long one, definitely consider making the 2-hour journey to Mesa Verde, Colorado, after you’ve seen Utah’s parks. The ruins there are an unforgettable testament to the ancient Puebloan civilization.

    Glamping At The Crooked Bindi Ranch$222/nightly avg

    There are good reasons why glamping (glamorous camping) has become so popular — it’s all due to the unique and memorable experiences visitors get at places like this incredible glamping site. Staying at this ranch allows visitors to sleep in a beautiful red rock canyon. All of the joys of camping with none of the fuss or discomfort.

    The tent (furnished with two comfortable beds) is nestled against the canyon wall, the bathroom built directly into the rock. Wander around 80 acres of desert outdoor space or make the short trip north to Moab and the parks.

    I can not say enough about our stay. My whole family enjoyed this part of our trip so much. The peaceful area, beauty of the canyon and tranqulity mixed with having a shower and bathroom were amazing. Ken and his mother do such an amazing job. We will be back!!
    The property is amazing, with attention to comfort details all in a magical land of red rock! Ken is a perfect host!
    Everything about this location is excellent. You’re really out in the canyons, but you have nice comfy beds and a great host. I got my Audi s5 out there so most vehicles should be fine if you watch your lines. Kenneth is awesome and he really makes the experience special, he can answer many questions about points of interest. We’ll be back next year!
    Kenneth has created a luxurious glamping paradise in Moab. His attentions to detail is great and his hospitality made our stay very special. The quality of the tent, sheets and and towels are very impressive. Although your secluded and in nature we felt very safe. We can’t wait to recommend this little gem
    It is an amazing experience. Never seen so many stars at night.

    Petroglyph Palace$274/nightly avg

    Richly decorated according to authentic Southwestern design practice, this Moab condo is a homey place to be based during your Utah adventure. From the hardwood floors and granite countertops to the Navajo rugs and upholstery, it is a modest yet beautiful desert gem. The building has a king and two queen bedrooms, making it ideal for a small family or group of couples. It’s in southern Moab, half a mile from the golf course and about 10 miles from Arches.

    This property was very clean and maintained well! Being from the midwest it was fun to stay in a house full of southwest decor. It is only 25 minutes to Arches, minutes to all sorts of restaurants and the 4×4 ride that we did. There was a nice night to star graze from the back patio off the master bedroom.
    Property was nice. Neighborhood was very nice. Very good stay.One problem however was every single chair at the dining table was unsafe to sit in as well as one of the patio chairs. The patio chair was broke and the dining room chairs where loose and on the verge of collapsing. Didn’t effect us much as we didn’t eat in the house but it would have been nice to have been able to use them.Both cleaning ladies were exceptional, the one working on it when we arrived early and the one cleaning as we left.I only gave a 3 star rating for the communication with property manager because this system made me pick something.We didn’t need to communicate with e the property manager.Also might mention to future renters that you have to push the check mark key after entering the door code. Took us a few minutes to figure that out.
    This was a perfect home base for our Canyonlands and Arches adventure.
    Accommodations were comfortable and very clean. Wonderful roomy bedrooms with a lot if closet and storage space. Lovely wooden floors and fun sw decor. The kitchen supplied were ok but minimal. It would have been helpful to have a couple of serving type covered bowls to use in the microwave. Sadly the grill did not work, which we were not aware of so we ended up having to cook a couple meats indoors which set off the smoke detector. The smoke detector also seemed to come on during our stay for no apparent reason. This should be vkecked out. The fireplace didn’t work either Or we couldn’t figure out how to turn it on. Instructions in the book would have been helpful as it was chilly a couple evenings. We did not receive the code to the entry ahead of time, but I was able to contact the manager while enroute and received it before arrival. Apparently I had not booked 4 days as I thought-Only 3. Fortunately the manager was able to extend our stay for the extra day, which we very much appreciated. Would highly recommend once the grill is repaired, smoke alarm checked and operating instructions for fireplace added.
    Great property!! The kitchen is very small Though and minimally stocked with cooking utensils etc but had plenty of dishes and eating utensils. The property is a bit small On the main level but had a nice cozy feel to it. The property manager was very nice and accommodating.

    House At Portal Resort$597/nightly avg

    Another prime example of Southwestern architecture and design, this Moab home offers comfort and access to all the area’s unforgettable attractions. Located on an RV resort in northern Moab, the property has a heated swimming pool, hot tub, and gym available for guests.

    Each of the three bedrooms boasts a luxurious bathroom with large walk-in showers. Granite countertops and beautiful wooden furnishings make the kitchen quite comfortable as well.

    The property was well stocked, just bring your own toiletries. Proximity to the pool (which was open) was a bonus for the kids. The only issues: couldn’t get the actual wifi information (the details provided did not work, even after stopping by the office to ask), but didn’t matter too much as cell reception was fine; and roaches. I’m not sure if it’s common there, but we weren’t expecting to have additional guests. Other than the few issues, it was a nice stay with great ac and space for people to spread out and relax. We would stay again.
    1) TV reception terrible in every room. Screen very fuzzy, could not even read screen. Reported issue and 2 attempts were made to fix it, but never resolved.2) No Wifi. Had to use my iphone as a hotspot in order to get onto internet.3) bugs4) Dinner table and coffee table are way to big for the living room. Made walking around the room difficult.
    Overall was a beautiful property with excellent location. Better instructions for check in would have been nice. We will definitely stay here again.
    We love Moab and have been coming for years. The last two times we stayed in a condo in The Portal community and it’s been perfect! This condo was huge but decorated so nice it felt like home. The community pool and gym is great too. We will be back next year for sure.
    Sounds like the ownership changed and they were working out some details. We didn’t have any paper or cleaning products when we got there. So we had to go buy everything, which isn’t what you want to do after driving all day. Blow dryer didn’t work. We had an iron, but not a board.. small things. BUT, the locations was great and so was the pool (the one that was open). It was a perfect fit for traveling with kiddos. Would rent again!

    Our group enjoyed staying here. Plenty of room, convenient, well supplied. Suggest more seating in living room area. Temp & pressure adjustments should be checked in showers…a few were hard to adjust.
    We had a group of 10. We came to off-road in Moab. We had a 42ft trailer and two other 34 foot trailers that fit perfect in the back with plenty of space left. The covered area was great for hanging out and cooking. We walked out of our front door crossed the street and was on the main strip in less than one min. We walked to dinner every night and shopped. It’s very convenient. The house its self was beautiful. 5 bedrooms with a bathroom in every room! No body had to share! Every room had its own look. There was plenty of cooking utensils and things to eat out of no need to bring any of that. We all enjoyed staying.
    Property worked wonderfully for our group. We loved being within walking distance of everything downtown. Our only complaint would be the loud traffic noise from Main street/ Highway 191. We appreciated the ear plugs!!
    Great location! All rooms were en-suite, lots of parking and great outdoor space. Some small issues with maintenance but overall a good stay
    The property is well located to everything we were doing. A great location.

    Mill Creek On Main$903/nightly avg

    This freestanding home in downtown Moab is a prize for any large group coming to town. It is perfectly situated between the busy blocks of Main Street and the quieter pleasures of the Mill Creek.

    Walk down the serene creek or head up the road to visit one of Moab’s many delightful restaurants and cafes. The local diner is great for breakfast — or breakfast for dinner. The house has a king bedroom, a queen, a double, and a kids’ room with three bunk beds. What’s not to love?

    One of the best VRBO places we have stayed. Beautiful, clean property. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Peaceful place to relax at the end of busy days.
    Everything was as stated. It was great! Thank you.
    Only eight sets of towels for 12 guests.No sheets on either of the bunk beds!!Not enough trash bags.
    This is a perfect place for a small group to visit Moab and the parks. Walking distance to downtown, next to walking/bike paths, hot tub, it’s got everything. Beautiful house! We had our daughter stay in the room within the master bedroom, and this worked well but might be a little awkward if you aren’t traveling with a tight knit group.
    Excellent location and great amenities. The management was very accessible when needed. We would definitely stay again.

    An owner-operated residence on the northern edge of Moab, this suburban home is a rare find indeed. Enjoy the high ceilings in the modern living room or, if yours is a big brood, nestle up in the five-bedded loft. The development features a private park, complete with a spring-fed pond and wading stream.

    The kitchen isn’t just “full” — it has a pressure cooker, blender, rice maker, and more. With all the space and appliances, keeping your family fed will be no sweat (save the sweating for your visit to Arches!).

    Three of us spent a week here while mountain biking around Moab. Location is perfect for access to everything. Unit itself and the amenities at the ranch made time off the trail a joy. Will definitely be back.
    It’s is really cool place to stay, only problem is the ac no getting up to level 2. Love the poll drop.
    Loved having shade, the creek, with pool.
    We absolutely loved our stay at this townhouse, part of Moab Springs Ranch. The townhouse itself was beautiful and spacious, with a well equipped kitchen and everything else we needed. We also loved the pool and the meadow area of Moab Springs Ranch. It was so convenient to both Arches National Park and downtown Moab. The owner was very responsive too.
    This place was incredible! Both the condo and the property made for an extremely memorable experience with my family. I would highly recommend staying here. Communication with the owner was very clear!
