Quaint Home In Town With Rural Feel!
Welcome to Desert Blue
This home is for 4 guests or less. It is not able to accommodate large trailers as it is on a narrow access road and a dead end. It would be difficult to turn around.
Our remodeled home is in the heart of Moab but feels a world away. The house is situated down a dirt lane which turns into a private road with very little traffic. It is quiet and peaceful with a truly rural feel. Our location is ideal! It is easy walking distance to main street; the recreation center with pool and fitness center; paved bike path and many other conveniences of town.
This older home has been remodeled. We have custom cabinets, granite counter tops, beautiful hard wood floor through out and new kitchen appliances. We have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, each with walk in showers. The large bedroom has a king size memory foam bed. The second bedroom has a queen bed with its own full bathroom. The third bedroom has two twin beds and is very small. The furnishings are uniquely rustic and eclectic with a luxurious at home feel.
Enjoy sitting or eating on the back patio in the large newly landscaped yard. We have a BBQ grill on the patio and also other seating areas around the property for you to relax and enjoy the surrounding red rock views. This lot is very private!
Going to town? No need to deal with parking when visiting main street. We have plenty of parking.
This is a great place to unwind after all your Moab adventures. .... come, put up your feet and enjoy!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great Stay with Thoughtful Touches!
We absolutely loved our stay at this charming home in Moab! The rustic vibe is adorable and carried throughout the space with thoughtful, welcoming touches that made it feel cozy and cared for. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood, the peaceful, beautifully landscaped backyard was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring.The home was well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were very comfortable.The location is ideal—just a short drive to both Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. The owner was also incredibly understanding and flexible, which made the experience even better. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Moab!

Peaceful Retreat at Desert Blue
Our stay at Desert Blue was top notch. The house was immaculate and very nicely appointed. The area was conveniently located by shops, restaurants, and various outfitters. Even though it's in a prime location, it was extremely quiet and peaceful. We absolutely would return to Desert Blue if we ever visit Moab again! The house and the town are at the top of our list for favorites when it comes to vacationing!

The back yard was great!But all the soaps and other liquids in the house had fragrance products in them. I put these all under the sinks, but when I returned home I had to wash everything, even containers.

What a gem!
"Quaint home" (also known as Desert Blue) was a true delight. The location is perfect, on a quiet side street that seems like being in the country but is 3 blocks from Main Street, 2 blocks from a great food cart pod. The house has everything one could want for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Beyond being super well equipped, the house is filled with thoughtful and artistic touches that add to the charm. It is so clear that the owner really cares about the place and her guests. The back patio is a serene oasis, an utterly delightful spot to relax or sit a have a meal. It's a nice design that the bedrooms are on the opposite sides of the house.Andrea was a wonderful host. She was super quick to respond. When we needed to change our dates, she really went out of her way to help and be sure we didn't have any extra charges.Of the many places in Moab, I chose this one for a stay with family. They walked in, sat down in the patio, and said: thanks so much, this place is very special. We all loved staying there and would love to return.

Another Amazing Stay
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Andrea’s place in Moab. It was just as great the 2nd time around. From the get go, Andrea is attentive and answers questions promptly. The house is very close to town, about 2 blocks to Main Street, has ample room inside and outside with a stocked kitchen. The patio is amazing and the weather was warm enough to grill and hang out in the backyard. We will definitely be back! We have stayed at a lot of places over the years in Moab, and this is one of the best! Thanks!

Charming house situated just a couple of streets from the center of town. Fully stocked with anything you might need. Two 'wings' with one bedroom off the living room to the left and the other two bedrooms off to the right. Provided a nice amount of privacy as we were travelling with our son and his wife. Area was very quiet. Back patio was a relaxing retreat. Andrea responded to our questions very promptly. We would recommend her house to our family and friends!
