Great spot away from the crowds of Moab but still close enough to explore.
We loved how nice this little cabin was. We hope to come back here soon!

Dream Cabin
The Gate House was a wonderful place to stay! We were there at the end of November. The cabin was so beautiful in the snow. We had plenty of wood for a fire every night in the fireplace. Authentic, attention to detail in decor and trim, antique doors, petrified wood stone fireplace, animal footprints pressed into the old terracotta floor tiles. It was warm and comfortable and exciting. The copper soaking tub was fabulous, the shower was divine with two shower heads and nice hot water. The terracotta tile floor must have been heated because it was warm. All the lights had dimmer on them which made the ambiance delightful. It was quiet with a remarkable view of the mountains just behind the cabin, watching the sky get bright in the morning between the mountain peaks was lovely. Without any bright lights around, the stars were just gorgeous at night. The kitchen appliances were state of the art. There was tea and hot chocolate available. The loft bed surrounded by windows was very cool. There was a large selection of board games. Plenty of towels and throws and the warmest blankets ever! The host was always available for any questions. It was just such a magical place....I just wanted to stay there permanently. And it was just a short trip into the quaint town of Moab and the Arches National Park. So glad we got to experience this beautiful, wonderful, exciting stay!

TGreat Cabin one misleading thing.
This cabin was GREAT. Such a great location, absolutely beautiful and overall everything one would want in a cabin stay except the hot tab is not inside the house as the pictures show it. You walk to it and if you go in the absolute winter then it’s tough. It’s shared by other ranchers too. Other than that everything was great.

Peaceful Getaway
The cabin was just as it was advertised; cozy, rustic, renovated and beautiful views! There was plenty of room for myself, my husband, our 11-year-old daughter, and my mother. The copper tub was absolutely amazing! It was so nice to be able to soak in a nice, hot bath after being outside in the cold. We enjoyed having our meals at the dining room table and we used the fire place every day. The views from every window were amazing! The location is only about 20 minutes from town, and it was so relaxing being away from the hustle and bustle. I gave only 4 stars because there were a few things that I felt need a bit of attention. Because it is a pet friendly rental, there was quite a bit of dog hair on the rugs. I felt that they could have been cleaned a bit better. I also felt that there was quite a bit of dust/cobwebs built up on the decor above the kitchen countertops and in the living room. The bathroom with the shower had dust bunnies in the corners and the shower had hair from a previous guest on the wall. We cooked almost all of our meals at the cabin. We felt that there were not enough pots, pans, cooking utensils available. And lastly, we would recommend putting a rug under the bed in the loft. It is on wheels and with someone sleeping/moving around in it, the noise is quite loud for the person below on the murphy bed.

Nirvana!
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cabin and thoroughly enjoyed Pack Creek Ranch. All the other reviews were true: excellent location near town but happily just outside; much cooler and greener up in the mountains, awesome cabin offered comfort plus luxury, and the goats & apples outside were just icing on the cake. Take some time to take off your shoes and walk barefoot through acres of incrediblly soft green grass, take in the glorious views, and soak in the copper tub. Your soul will thank you! :-) We hope to be back again someday, thanks for hosting us!

Magical little log cabin gem!
This cozy little log cabin is about 20 minutes south of Moab and well worth the drive. Just the right amount of time to get away and unwind. Inside and out, this cabin has all the amenities of modern life, while feeling like you've stepped onto an old western movie set. Stone and logs line the interior and exterior of the home with well appointed bathrooms and kitchen. By far, the most stunning home I could find in Moab to celebrate my mother's 80th birthday. Worth every penny!

I freaking Loved this place!
Out of town a bit, snuggled up to the La Sal mountains on an amazing old dude ranch. Everyone was super friendly and the cabin was cozy and spacious. The caretaker was super nice and informative and the dogs had a blast. This was our first time in Moab and I feel like we got super lucky! Driving through town and seeing some of the more commercial places, I'm super happy we got a more genuine Moab experience. Don't let the 10 minutes outside of town deter you, it was a blessing. ...and if you have a dog you HAVE to stay here. Sean & Mee

We really enjoyed our stay. The copper soaking tub was a favorite. Stocked with everything you might need (bring a wine key lol, we had to get creative) but other than that we enjoyed our time sitting around the wood burning stove, playing games, cooking delicious food and relaxing. Highly recommend, we’ll be back soon!

Moab retreat
Owner contact was excellent, location was great for us and the cabin was peaceful and relaxing. Sorry to say but the cleaner should be more mindful. We spent 3 hours sweeping, moping, cleaning windows that have amazing views, folding previous tenants laundry left in dryer, buying new batteries for the remote and main room fire detector, cobwebs everywhere. All that aside it was worth it. The cabin itself was amazing!!

Moab vacation
So peaceful to be at Pack Creek Ranch in the Gatehouse without others around due to the recent fire. The Gatehouse is a beautiful remodel of the original log cabin. A/C was essential and very efficient. Lots of great memories, especially for us naturalists and environmental educators who know the significance of the property.

Moab Heaven
Well done remodeld pioneer cabin that has all of the amenities and comforts to escape from it all. It was plenty comfortable for 2 adults and 2 adult children as we stayed here while we explored and enjoyed all Moab had to offer. Its location at the higher altitude made it worth the drive away from Moab and the morning and evening winds made you want to sit outside forever. Look-up and marvel at the stars in the evening or wake up early and enjoy the sunrise. You won't regret renting this cabin.

Wife and I had a great time!
This was a really great place to stay. My wife and I stayed for 8 days in Feb 2021 and really enjoyed our time. There are a couple small caveats, but overall, we worked remotely here and did tons of hiking in the Moab area, all while enjoying moderate weather and having a comfortable place to sleep at night. The internet here had two mornings where it was pretty bad, but in general I was able to work nearly a full 40-hour work week at this cabin with their internet. A couple times I drove to town for video calls, but at one point I had a 90-minute video call from the cabin without a single interruption. It seems to be weather dependent but I'm not sure. Town is 15-20 minutes away, depending on how close you need to be (LTE service or grocery store). We didn’t think that was too far, especially for the peace and quiet here, as well as the views. There was no AT&T service for us here, but the internet was good enough. The side room with the murphy bed is very cold in the winter. It’s probably great in the summer, but it is quite chilly in the winter. We hardly watched any TV (it’s the TV room) because the room was so chilly to be in. Not a big deal though – we were there for Moab not Netflix. There was a space heater provided for this room if you want to use it. There’s also a space heater in the main bedroom, which we did use at night. The furnace kept the main part of the home warm enough. The double shower is very nice, though the hot water tank will empty fairly quickly. Again, wintertime, so in the summer you may get more mileage. I’d strongly recommend the Fisher Towers Trail about 20 miles NE of town. A truly underrated hike. Also driving the La Sal Loop, which is the road to this place. Overall, we had a wonderful trip exploring the Moab area and staying in this cabin. The cabin has a really nice feel to it – a peaceful place to work and come home to after exploring. We would have stayed longer if schedule had allowed. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to any of my friends or family.
