Off the beaten path, clean and well-stocked for just 1 or 2 people. Easy access to Moab and nearby parks to stay clear of the crowds in town. Best for heavy sleepers because of the train! A decent trade-off if you aren't a fan off all the movement through Moab. The heater went out due to heavy winds, but there were extra blankets and office provided an extra space heater to help.

Perfect amount of space for 2. Had everything we needed to stay for a couple days. We drove a little away from the property for stargazing due to one (of only 2) of the street lights being right next to us.
