The Perfect Desert Oasis
Stayed at this lovely property in the Cedar Pod and had the best experience! We stayed here while competing in the Bears Ears Ultra. We took advantage of the sauna (incredible) and the communal kitchen, making burritos one night. We also spent an evening in downtown Moab. This is the perfect place for those who don't want to be in tourist-centric Moab and prefer a more relaxing, natural atmosphere. The hosts were fabulous, providing us with tubs for hanging out at Foy Lake and bringing coffee in the morning. They have two sweet pooches and friendly chickens roaming around! Such a special place where memories were made—we will be coming back again and again! Cheers!!

We loved how all the little details were taken care of. They provided everything you need to cook a meal, hot showers and flush toilets, a battery pack in the pod for your phone, lanterns, it's hard to believe there is no electricity! We loved the touches of the complimentary hot chocolate/tea/coffee each morning delivered to our door! The place was so wonderful and magical!
