11 Best Cabins for Rent in Moab Utah

There are many reasons why people come to Moab, Utah. We love to visit this city because of its national parks, stunning scenery, and abundance of recreational activities. However, we must admit that many of our most memorable Moab experiences are spent in a cabin. That’s why we want to show you some of the top cabins for rent in Moab, Utah.

Why should you stay in a cabin? For one, it offers more privacy and seclusion than regular accommodations, and it’s also a better choice for families and groups. Not to mention, it typically has more space than hotel rooms. The cherry on top? The extra amenities like a fully-equipped kitchen and fireplace. Enough with the introduction, and let’s explore our picks!

Pack Creek ~ Creekside West

11

The first of many amazing cabins for rent in Moab, Utah, is the Pack Creek ~ Creekside West. When we first entered this cabin, we were awed by the living area’s pure cabin charm. We loved the rough-hewn walls and the west window that bathed the space in the warm afternoon light. When we needed a quick nap, we would relax on the large sofa or the overstuffed easy chair.

The kitchen was surprisingly well-equipped, with everything we needed to prepare meals. Having dishes, cookware, and a full range of appliances at our fingertips was convenient. The newly renovated bathroom was another plus. It was roomy and bright with sunny yellow walls, a tile floor, and a spacious shower. Also, there are two comfy queen-sized beds on the property.

Rim View Retreat #14

10

Staying at Rim View Retreat #14 was one of the best decisions we’ve made recently. This cabin is tucked away on the south side of the golf course for stunning views, yet still close enough to town for easy access to restaurants and shops. Stepping inside felt like entering a cozy cabin with soaring lofts and a warm interior that made us feel right at home. We had plenty of space for our entire group. We’re talking about three bedrooms and three and a half baths, which meant no morning bathroom battles.

The kitchen was amazing, too. It was well-equipped and perfect for whipping up delicious meals after exploring the wonders of Moab. The airy living area flowed seamlessly from the kitchen, making it a great spot to gather and unwind. We could stow our gear in the two-car garage and then kick back and relax—either inside by the fireplace or out on the private patio soaking in the views.

Moab RV Resort Basic Cabin

9

Sure, the Moab RV Resort Basic Cabin might not be among the most compact vacation rentals in Moab, Utah, but that doesn’t mean it’s always inferior. We think this cabin is perfect for travelers who spend most of their time having fun outdoors. This one-bedroom cabin managed to fit everything we needed – a comfy sofa, a bunk bed for sleeping, a TV for relaxing after a day of adventure, and even a table and a fridge. It was clean and non-smoking, which we really appreciated.

The location was fantastic. It was just a short drive from some of the park’s most incredible landmarks. We were within 20 miles of Landscape Arch and Wilson Arch, and other stunning features like Delicate Arch and North Window were easily accessible, too. Plus, having free private parking was another huge perk!

Pack Creek ~ Ranch House

8

Best for Large Groups. Another great option for travelers seeking the best vacation home rentals Moab, Utah, has to offer is the Pack Creek ~ Ranch House. The spacious single-level layout was ideal for our group, with tons of space to relax. The living area was especially inviting, with the cobblestone fireplace, library wall, and view of the apple orchard. It felt cozy and secluded. We also loved that the cabin embraced a tech-free atmosphere in the common areas, encouraging us to unwind and truly enjoy each other’s company.

The bedrooms were all well-appointed. The master suite with the king bed and clawfoot tub was a luxurious treat, and the two queen bedrooms were just as nice for the rest of the group. The additional daybeds provided even more flexibility for sleeping arrangements. Want to cook? The cabin offers travelers a fully-equipped kitchen as well. Outside, you’ll find a back patio with a gas grill.

Luxury Log Cabin Less Than 15 Mi to Downtown Moab

7

Our stay at the Luxury Log Cabin Less Than 15 Mi to Downtown Moab couldn’t have been better. It was the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. We spent our days exploring Arches National Park, with Landscape Arch and Mesa Arch just a short drive away (though Wilson Arch was even closer). Back to the cabin, it was incredibly spacious, with two separate living areas so we could sprawl out after. We loved cozying up by the fireplace as well, and the hot tub and sauna were exactly what we needed for our sore muscles. Looking for a pool? There’s a seasonal outdoor one on the property.

The amenities? Perfect! The kitchen was fully equipped, so we were able to prepare some meals “in” instead of eating out every night. Having a grill for BBQs was nice, too. We enjoyed our coffee on the patio in the mornings, taking in the beautiful river views. Though we had a cabin experience, there was still free Wi-Fi to keep us connected.

Speaking of amazing amenities, you’ll be impressed by the ones offered by these best resorts in Moab, Utah!

Pack Creek – Creekside East

6

The Pack Creek – Creekside East is one of the best options for those who want easy living and relaxation. Honestly, we don’t mind rating our stay 10/10. The large bedroom was spacious and comfortable, with two queen beds ensuring there was plenty of room for everyone. We appreciated the shared dresser and wall hooks, which kept things organized. The newly renovated bathroom was a delight – the sunny yellow walls and tile floors were bright and cheerful. We also found the additional storage shelves in the hallway to be a great bonus, providing ample space for tucking away our luggage.

Moving on, the living area was so inviting. The comfy armchairs and queen-sized sleeper sofa were perfect for relaxing. We also loved the unique touches in the dining alcove – the barn wood walls added a rustic charm, and the Tiffany stained glass lamp created a warm ambiance. We would enjoy our meal together at the drop-leaf table for four at night. However, it’s important to note that this is a true cabin experience, so there’s no TV, and cell service might be limited. But for us, that just meant more time to disconnect and unwind in the beautiful surroundings.

Luxury Moab Cabin Views, Pool and Hot Tub Access

5

Best Luxury. Among all of the vacation rentals in Moab, this Luxury Moab Cabin with Views, Pool, and Hot Tub Access is probably among the fanciest. We loved how this cabin was both spacious and well-equipped. We cooked most nights in the kitchen, which had everything we needed, and even enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner one evening. But the true highlights were definitely the fireplace and the sauna. Cozy nights by the fire after a soak in the hot tub were simply unbeatable. If you want to swim, you can also take advantage of the community pool. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate this beautifully decorated cabin?

We slept like babies in the comfortable beds, and with five of them, the cabin was perfect for our whole group. Our bathroom even had a bathtub for the ultimate relaxation. The location in Spanish Valley was perfect – close enough to Moab for day trips to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, but far enough away to feel secluded and peaceful. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to unwind and experience the beauty of Moab.

Sun Outdoors Arches Gateway

4

Our stay at Sun Outdoors Arches Gateway was nothing but great. Unlike many other house rentals in Moab, Utah, this cabin is set in a campground and is packed with awesome amenities. For one, we loved relaxing by the pool and taking a dip in the hot tub after exploring everything Moab had to offer. Also, the views of the mountains and gardens from the cabin were truly breathtaking.

Speaking of which, aside from the cabin, you also have RV and tent camping options. Pretty cool, right? However, what caught our attention the most was the giant chessboard. It was a fun way to have fun during our spare time. And if you’re coming with your kids, they can play in the playground, too. What more could you ask for?

The cabin was incredibly comfortable and spacious. With two separate living areas and two bedrooms, our group had plenty of room to relax. The fully equipped kitchen was an amazing addition, and we would enjoy our food on the private patio, taking in the fresh air and mountain views. Speaking of the patio, it was the perfect spot to unwind in the evenings and stargaze!

The amenities were fantastic as well. Having free Wi-Fi throughout the cabin was a huge plus for staying connected, and the laundry machine was much needed after a few dusty adventures. Finally, the location was absolutely great for exploring Moab’s stunning scenery. It was close enough to town to be convenient yet secluded enough to feel immersed in nature.

While the cabin was on the smaller side, it had everything we needed. The bed was surprisingly comfy, and we appreciated having linens and towels provided. The little kitchen also allowed us to whip up quick meals after our adventures. Speaking of adventures, you should try riding a thrilling bike through nearby trails.

Cabin with a Fire Pit, Views, and BBQ

Best Overall. Travelers highly rate this Cabin with a Fire Pit, Views, and BBQ, and we think it deserves our number one spot. Staying at this charming cabin, we were close to so much. Wilson Arch was only a 25-mile drive, Cataract Canyon was just 15 miles away, and La Sal Mountain Loop was practically in our backyard at 3.8 miles. It was ideal for day trips and coming back to relax in the cabin. Also, the cabin was extremely cozy. A private entrance was great; the air conditioning helped us relax and beat the heat. We loved the rustic feel of the log walls, too.

One of the things that we loved the most was the balcony, which was our go-to place to enjoy the morning coffee with a view of the mountains. We cooked a few meals in the cabin, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The BBQ grill also came in handy when we wanted to grill up some burgers.
