About this property

Gecko House

In the center of Thompson Springs ghost town! Quiet and peaceful. This is not for the person who loves rush hour in the big city! There is a Shell station in town and that's it! Bring groceries with you when you come. Moab and Arches National park is about a half hour drive to the south. This place is really all about freedom. If you decide to ride an ATV through Town, nobody bothers you. If you decide to ride your bicycle down old hwy 6 you might pass a car, but chances are you won't.
For entertainment, guests can enjoy TVs. Other amenities include kitchens, patios, and dining areas.

Great Place, Great Price!

We loved our stay at this little place. We were greeted after a long, hot day with nice cold air conditioning and the whole place made us want to stay a couple more days. If we do another road trip in this direction, we'll definitely stay here again!

Thompson Springs Paradise

This place was clean, amazingly peaceful, and so much healer than staying in Moab. The communication was great with the owner and check in was extremely simple. I highly recommend this gem in the middle of a peaceful high desert.
