Great place to stay
The home was clean and comfortable and very spacious for our family of 6. It was recently updated with new flooring in the living room & dining room. Very quiet town. The trains were not very frequent and typically did not pass by in the middle of the night. It was approximately 45 minutes from Moab which was nice to escape from the busyness of Jeep week. We visited Arches, Canyonlands and Goblin Valley State Park during our stay.

Great Getaway
We chose the property due to proximity to Moab and surrounding parks. The property was extremely clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. We all loved the openess of the kitchen and living room. The bedrooms were large and beds were comfortable. The property managers were extremely kind and accommodating with special thanks to Shelly. Thanks, Brian M.

This spot is a favorite for our SXS riding groups as it is a less expensive and perfect location for many rides. I only wish they had a pool or each house had a hot tub!

Great place to stay close to trails but out of the busy area of town!
We stayed at the Thompson house for the second time! Great place and well taken care of property! Great communication from managers, easy to find, quiet (except for the occasional train that goes by but that didn’t bother us), and there are trails that leave right from the property! We’ll be back again for sure!

We came to Utah to ride the trails in our razr. There are trails that you can ride to from the house and are close to the named trails in moab. The house is comfortable and roomy. The kitchen was perfect and everything very clean. We can't wait to come back in the spring!!

Lovely stay
This property turned out to be a large and clean space that welcomed pets, which we really appreciated. It’s a ways from Moab town but there’s a beautiful scenic drive of the landscape around on the way to town by way of Cisco. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware for simple meals that we made the two nights we were there. Thank you so much!

Best place to stay near moab
We love staying here. It's our 4th time. House was very clean. Staff was awesome. Thompson is beautiful. We call it radiator springs because it's just the Cars movie. I highly recommend renting from Ballard RV Park. Looking forward to our next visit.

Moab Gem
A bit off the beaten path away from the crowds in Moab, great place to stay and bring the RZrs. No need to trailer to sites, just ride from your front door to access numerous trails. Very quiet, next to Book Cliffs with lots of history.,

Home Away From Home
We have stayed in a couple of other homes there. We like staying away from the hustle and bustle of Moab! This is the first time in the Thompson house. The home is large with lots of room to spread out! We enjoyed the peace and quiet. We even didn't mind the trains coming by! In fact, that was one of the reasons we booked this home! You do need to bring your groceries with you, or make a trip into Moab. We will definitely stay here again!

Nice property. Everything was clean and comfortable. Neighborhood was not the best but we had no issues. Be sure to get groceries before getting to property as the only thing close is a 7-11. I would stay again.

Our 3rd time at this house
This is our 3rd year vacationing at this same house. It is always the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in. We love the location it's just far enough from Moab to be away from the hustle and bustle of town but only a half hour from most trail heads. We love heading up the canyon to explore on the days we don't ride the more challenging stuff closer to Moab. It's always well stocked and clean. When we visit, friends and family rent houses from the same place, everyone is within walking distance and we can gather together with ease. We will be returning again next year.
