Peaceful retreat! Great location!
Super-cute, clean teardrop trailer parked in the perfect location! Stayed dry and cozy when it rained. Great outdoor kitchen and clean outhouse/shower. Fun solar lighting. Even wifi! Also great location to drive to Recapture Reservoir, Moab, Arches National Park, or even Colorado! Interesting property to explore too. Even though the owner was out of town, he made sure to stay in contact and was readily available for any questions. I hope to stay again! My little dog loved it too! Thanks, Joe! We had a great time!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There’s several sites (trailers, tents) but the sites are not numbered nor have clear labels with their names, it makes it hard to find your designated site. The owner was unprofessional and unkind to my daughter therefore I left that night and booked a hotel in Moab instead. I’ve used Expedia for a long time and I was very disappointed to find such an establishment being promoted by this company. People of color should be warned not to stay here.

Indian Canyon Ranch is located approximately 2 miles off the highway down a bumpy dirt road. The road Starts out fine but gets bumpier on Brushey Terrace and is not ideal for sports cars or low clearance vehicles but can be accessed by a skilled driver in said vehicles. Indian Canyon and Rosie Lane are both narrow rough roads but short. Rosie ends just past the Ranch on the edge of a small canyon on the edge of national forest and surrounded by open terrain free for your exploring.

The property is 100% off grid all the structures are built from construction debris from various construction projects over the years reclaimed/recycled materials. The water in the shower house is heated by the sun. All water is manually hauled in so conservation is essential. There is plenty of firewood throughout the property and there will be a fire every night in the common area. Feel free to start the fire and use the grill to cook your food as needed. There are fire pits at some of the units for private fires as well. Feel free to gather wood as needed to keep your private fire going but a wood pile will be ready at the common area pit always. Condiments in the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator are there for your use, the refrigerator is inside the shed next to the kitchen. The Wi-Fi password is on the whiteboard in the kitchen. The cabinet on the deck contains the Wi-Fi center and an inverter to plug in your devices if you need to charge them. Indian ruins and petroglyphs are nearby in the canyon ask your host for directions and he will guide you in the right direction.
