Moosewood Cottage

11

Kicking off this incredible list is Moosewood Cottage. With 1,400 sq ft of space, this cottage was more spacious than we thought it was. It felt charming and cozy at the same time, with a full kitchen for preparing meals and a living room ideal for relaxation. The sleeping arrangements were ideal for our group, too, with two queen bedrooms and a room with two twin beds. No fighting over who gets the comfy bed!

However, Moosewood Cottage wasn’t just about the comfortable indoors. We loved spending time outside on the porch swing and hammock, enjoying the fresh air and beautiful Moab surroundings. The colorful umbrella provided a nice shady spot to sip on cold drinks, and stargazing at night from the hot tub was certainly unforgettable. The location was also hard to match – right in downtown Moab, which made exploring the town and nearby attractions incredibly convenient.

Wisteria Cottage

10

Best for Couples. There’s only one word to describe Wisteria Cottage: beautiful! We think this lovely little rental is ideal for a couple’s retreat. With a king-sized bed and a full bath, we loved how spacious and comfortable the whole space felt. We enjoyed mornings spent brewing tea, and the pot for both tea and coffee was provided as well. The highlight? It’s none other than the porch swing. We loved to spend our time there, taking in the view of the lush green yard.

For a more invigorating experience, there’s a shared hot tub just around the corner, so you can soak up after exploring Moab. It’s important to note that the outdoor spaces, including the hot tub and bikes, are shared with other guests on the property. However, there’s also lockable bike storage in the parking area, which is a nice addition.

The Main House

Another great choice for those looking for a VRBO in Moab, Utah, is The Main House. This 19th-century house is a charmer. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, there was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The two queen beds downstairs and the queen bed with a twin bed upstairs offered comfortable sleeping arrangements. Three of the bedrooms even have en suite bathrooms for added convenience! We never had to queue whenever we wanted to have a shower.

The highlight, though, is its outdoor amenities. The large outdoor space with a deck, rocking chairs, a hot tub, and a BBQ area provided us with a great place to gather and unwind. We enjoyed grilling out and soaking in the hot tub under the starry Moab sky. Not to mention, The Main House is located right in downtown Moab. We could walk to almost everything, including restaurants, bars, and shops on Main Street. This was a huge perk, especially after long days spent hiking and exploring the nearby national parks.

Bogie’s Comfort Bungalow

8

Bogie’s Comfort Bungalow may be the perfect little oasis for your Moab adventure. We found the bungalow to be extremely charming. The natural building materials gave it a light and airy feel, and the colorful decor with a mix of vintage and modern furniture made it feel warm and inviting. There were the two of us, and the queen-sized bed was very comfortable. The little twin bed in the loft would be perfect for a child or for extra storage space if you’re traveling light like we were.

Meanwhile, the kitchenette was well-equipped for whipping up breakfasts and small meals, although be aware there’s no oven – just a stovetop. Having two bathrooms, one inside and one outside, was a surprising bonus, and the lovely gardens out front were a great place to relax. Also, this bungalow is a standalone unit with its own entrance and parking right out front, which was super convenient for us. Plus, it’s pet-friendly!

Creekside Guest Cottage

7

Best for Solo Travelers. Though not the biggest rental, we still enjoyed our stay at the Creekside Guest Cottage. The one-bedroom VRBO in Moab, Utah, was charming and inviting. The light streamed in through all the windows, making the space feel bright and airy. The cathedral ceilings and shiny floors added to the feeling of openness, and the plush sofa was an amazing place to relax. However, this place wasn’t just comfortable, as it was also functional. The kitchen had everything we needed to whip up meals after hiking, and the private gas grill on the patio was useful for those nights when we wanted to enjoy a cookout under the stars at the on-site garden.

Another big plus? The location! Moab is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise, and Creekside Guest Cottage put us right in the heart of it all. Arches National Park was just a short drive away, and we spent an unforgettable day hiking through the towering red rock formations. When we weren’t feeling adventurous in the kitchen, we had our pick of restaurants in town. The funky Moab Diner, just steps from the cottage, offered the perfect casual meal, while the Desert Bistro offered a delicious Southwestern fine dining experience.

Violet @ Stella Ruby Cottages

6

Here, we have another downtown rental in the form of Violet @ Stella Ruby Cottages. The cottage was perfect for our needs. The full kitchen allowed us to prepare meals easily, and the grill on the private patio allowed us to have a cookout while enjoying the night sky. We also spent almost all evenings relaxing in the living room, catching up on shows with Netflix and cable TV. What about the bedroom? It was spacious, and the queen-sized bed was very comfortable.

For those adventuring with vehicles, the ample parking was a huge plus. There was a designated covered spot for our car and extra space for trailers, jeeps, and other off-road toys. Even without a dedicated spot, street parking seemed readily available. Best of all, it was nice to have a grassy yard with mature trees to relax in and escape the Moab sunshine.

The Off Center Condo

5

For those looking for the best VRBO Moab Utah has to offer, take a look at The Off-Center Condo. We loved our stay here. Being just a block from downtown Moab meant everything was within easy walking distance – the Visitor Center, restaurants, shops, everything. The condo itself was gorgeously decorated and had everything we needed. We loved the comfortable leather furniture, the quirky Tiffany lamps, and the super comfy memory foam mattress. We slept like logs every night!

Even though the condo is right downtown, it felt like a quiet retreat. We were surprised by how peaceful it was, even on the weekends. The huge backyard was another fantastic bonus. It was beautifully landscaped with drought-resistant plants and a great place to relax and unwind. There was also plenty of off-street parking in the back, which was a huge plus.

Gorgeous Moab Retreat with Red Rock and La Sal Mountain Views

4

Our stay at this Gorgeous Moab Retreat with Red Rock and La Sal Mountain Views was fantastic. First of all, the location is hard to match. Staying here, we were just a short drive from Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, as well as world-class hiking and biking trails. But the best part might have been the views! The house had unobstructed views of the red rocks and La Sal mountains, which we enjoyed from every window and from the upstairs wrap-around patio.

The house was beautifully designed and incredibly spacious. The living area was filled with natural light and had a large fireplace that created a cozy atmosphere for us. We also loved the dining area, which could seat everyone comfortably both inside and out on the deck. Moving on, the bedrooms were just as luxurious as the rest of the house. Each one had a comfortable bed, a private bathroom, and a smart TV. The highlight for some of us was definitely the private hot tub! It was the perfect way to soothe our tired muscles after hours of flight.

Entrada at Moab 420B

Best Value for Money. Are you looking for a comfy place that’s worth the money? Consider Entrada at Moab 420B! Whether you’re looking for summer fun or a cozy winter escape, this house has everything you need for a memorable trip. When we first arrived, the house was luxurious and beautifully decorated. We loved the open floor plan, which made it easy to relax and spend time together. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, there was plenty of space for our entire group. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds and high-quality linens – everyone slept soundly like babies.

The amenities were truly top-notch. Having a two-car garage, a large driveway, and extra parking was a huge plus, especially since we came with multiple vehicles. We also loved the little touches, like the state-of-the-art streaming TV, super-fast Wi-Fi, and the basket of kid-friendly games and toys. It felt like the owners thought of everything! One of the highlights for us was the fully stocked kitchen. We enjoyed whipping up meals after swimming in the pool and having all the essentials on hand (from spices to aluminum foil) made things so much easier. Plus, who can resist free bikes to explore the area? We were able to get around and see the sights easily.

French Quarter Cottage

Most Comfortable. When we first saw the French Quarter Cottage, we were instantly charmed. The southwestern warmth blended perfectly with the European-style decor. Saltillo tiles, reclaimed maple hardwood floors, and tasteful touches throughout made this a truly beautiful place to stay. At 1,200 sq ft, the cottage offered plenty of space for our group to spread out comfortably. Whether you’re traveling with friends or family, this is a great place to relax and unwind. There’s even a pet fee of only 10 USD per night per pet, so you can bring your furry companions along for the adventure.

Upstairs, the open and spacious layout included a laundry room with a washer and dryer, a comfy reading nook, and a full bathroom. The kitchen was modern and fully equipped, so we could cook whenever we wanted to. Also, the French doors opened onto a lovely patio with wisteria vines and a relaxing water feature. It was our favorite spot for morning coffee and an evening glass of wine.

“This rental was unbelievably comfortable. We should’ve spent more nights there!”
