I spent a week in Moab with my daughter who is in college. We man biked and hiked, and of course stayed at the Desert Garden. It was perfect, could walk everywhere, super cute with a really nice yard to relax in. Will definitely try to stay here again on our next visit to Moab.

Cute, Cozy in Moab

This unit met all of our needs while we were in Moab for a long weekend. We loved the location because we walked everywhere without concerns. The courtyard was precious, so relaxing with multiple spaces so if guests from other units wanted to enjoy, everyone had a spot!

Great location but sparse provisions

The biggest takeaway from Desert Gardens is its location. The owner never responded to multiple messages however, the management people were very responsive. I wouldn't have any more than 2 people stay in unit as it would be too cramped. Almost zzero provisions supplied

Nice Accomodation

This property was comfortable for 2 people. The kitchen was very small but for a short term rental it was fine. Plenty of amenities such as toilet paper and soap for washing machine. The sofa needs an upgrade as the faux leather is peeling off and it is uncomfortable.

Amazing oasis!

A group of us rented 2 of the units and It was absolutely perfect! You can’t beat the location, just steps away from main street for easy access to restaurants and shopping. The units were clean, beautifully decorated and the beds/pillows were super comfy. What we loved most about this rental was the yard! It like having a small park just outside your door. Beautiful flowers, birds flying around, tables and chairs for meals or just hanging out and the hot tub was warm and very clean. We spent most evenings out in the yard and so enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. Have already told several friends about this property and will definitely rent again when we return.

Great location, terrific yard

The location was within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Access to the park was nearly immediate. My family used the lovely yard every night. Playing cards or spike ball, the neighbor looked over the fence to see how much fun we were having. We would stay here again!

Perfect location, very comfortable & clean

Convenient/walkable to restaurants, yet quieter one street off main road. Comfy beds, very nice linens and towels, all the considerate accommodations. Pictures make it look a bit bigger than it is, but we had plenty of room and were very comfortable. I would return.

Great location!

Loved this house - it was perfect for my family! I took off for the accuracy of the listing only because we weren't aware that there was bunk beds. The only other issue we had was the bunk beds not being against the wall and the potential for a kid to fall out of the top bunk and my kids were worried, too. Other than that, everything was perfect - especially the location! It was within walking distance to all the restaurants and shops and was absolutely perfect. We loved the hot tub - wish we could have used it more than one evening but we were out doing some night hiking and it was getting late when we got back. We would 100% stay here again if we came back to Moab. Hopefully we will at some point because there's still a lot of hiking that we'd love to do. I absolutely loved Moab more than I thought I would!

Nice spot for a Moab weekend

We visit Moab regularly and this was our first stay at this property. Unit is small but master bed is very nice. 2nd BR bunks are designed for a family and look nice as well. Kitchen is too small to be very functional. No place to sit indoors for a sit down meal. That was ok for us. Shared hot tub was nice. Big shared yard for all three units is nice for warmer weather. All in all a good stay. But quarters are a bit tight. So just set your expectations for that.

Perfect Spot for exploring Arches & Canyonlands

This is a sweet spot! We loved how quiet it was, yet accessible to everything in and around Moab. The owner has set things up nicely and it has a cool vibe. Enjoyed the hot tub after our days of hiking :) There are three units: this would be a great place to rent if you were part of a larger group and wanted to take the whole thing over. We happily shared with a family with children and some guys who were there to off road bike. Super quiet at night, which we appreciated. Highly recommend...

Great location

The location was great. The yard and hot tub area were fantastic. The place was clean and the water temperature was plenty hot in the shower. There were a couple areas that could be improved upon. The temperature controls in the apartment were difficult to figure out and there were not any written instructions provided to follow. The TV volume wasn't working correctly. Also, I appreciate the on-site laundry, but it would have been nice to include the cost of that with the cost of the stay. I had to both obtain quarters and laundry detergent to do one load of laundry.
