We stayed at this house a year and a half ago during a mountain biking trip to Moab and enjoyed it so we booked it again this year. The location is a bit remote (about 35 minutes from Moab) but the house is nice, clean, and very roomy. Perfect for our trip and much less expensive than staying in Moab.
If I do another trip to Moab I would come stay here again!
Absolutely loved the location. With a "ghost town" as a backdrop, the views and quiet are excellent. The only thing that may bother some- the trains in the middle of the night blowing their horns outside the cabin. I actually found it charming, and enhaced the old west vibefeel.
Check in and Check out was easy. The house was clean and had basic supplies. Perfect stay for a couple of overnights to visit the national parks if you don't mind a little drive.
We enjoyed staying out from the town. It takes some planning ahead since there isn't really much nearby but we loved it. We loved the deck area in the evening. The history of the Nutter's was a fun side note as well. The place was clean and well cared for.
This place worked really well for all our family to gather from various camp sites in the area. Well stocked with plenty of room. The bbq was really clean, which was nice when it was used. Loved the deck and outside seating
My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the Nutter House very much. It was immaculately clean and thoughtfully stocked with all kitchen and bath necessities, and the decor was lovely. Although the location was quite rural we both really like that and found really interesting places to explore nearby, in addition to going to Moab and Arches.
I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone visiting the Moab area but wanting to stay in a less hectic, more low key location.
As always, we had a great stay at the Nutter House. Really happy with the new flooring in the house as well. Thanks - already looking forward to our return visit!
Great place to stay. Clean, lots of room and very well stocked
We had 2 couples staying here, and it was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the covered pouch and the nice clean gas grill. We did our cooking outside and made the stay so nice.

Good place to stay for a night on the way to somewhere else
We had one night to fill for our Utah trip and this home was just what we needed. A bonus was discovering the Sego Canyon rock art just down the road.
We really enjoyed our stay in the area and the VRBO accommodations were great. The house was clean and had everything that we needed. The online reservation went smoothly and the owners communicated very well with detailed information. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. We’re stay there again if we are in the area.
