About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gecko House

In the center of Thompson Springs ghost town! Quiet and peaceful. This is not for the person who loves rush hour in the big city! There is a Shell station in town and that's it! Bring groceries with you when you come. Moab and Arches National park is about a half hour drive to the south. This place is really all about freedom. If you decide to ride an ATV through Town, nobody bothers you. If you decide to ride your bicycle down old hwy 6 you might pass a car, but chances are you won't.
  • 21.1 miles (33.9 km) from Arches National Park and 5.8 miles (9.3 km) from Sego Canyon Petroglyphs
Gecko House offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Quick stop on our travels
My SIL and I just stayed overnight. Place was clean and bed comfortable for our needs (Did open up the hide-a-bed and I would suggest a new mattress. We decided we could share a bed for the night instead.)

A home away from home
We can here specially to wander around the Sego Canyon Petroglyphs area, which we did. But we were charmed by the Gecko Cabin, which fit our needs perfectly. We cooked supper and breakfast both, spread out and took several walks. The check-in process went smoothly, as well as check-out. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Right off the highway
We were looking for an affordable place to stay to access Arches National Park and we found this place to be acceptable. There were issues with the hot water shower but the host offered a partial refund which I thought was fair. It’s small but worked for our family of four.

Nice cabin
Is a peaceful place ! The cabin was good , clean enough supplies and very comfortable. The Town has no access to restaurants near by is good considering to bring your own food ! But is a good alternative to stay outside Moab

Fleas or bed bugs - choose cautiously
There was absolutely no personal communications or feeling that a humans were even involved with this process for the reservation. I arrive late and fumbled my way around the darkness of the neighborhood until I figured out which unit was mine. And that was strictly by the photograph. When I got inside the unit, the floors were greasy, and the shower did not work well. Even if you set a moderate temperature, it would oscillate between scolding, hot and freezing cold. Exhausted slept on top of the covers because it was hot in the room. The next morning I woke up , with bite marks all over my legs from what were mites, fleas, or bedbugs, I don’t know which, but there was a lot of them, and I was glad I was only there five short hours before I had to hit the road again. The only evidence that a human being was involved in the process was a form that was left on the kitchen table for me along with a pen, asking me to fill out some questions , I do not recommend staying here

Quiet and Comfortable
Quiet campground area even though it was full, did hear the train whistle nearby in the night but didn't bother us and was disclosed by owner. Cabin was clean and comfortable for 4 adults, had all the needed dishes, towels, sheets, pillows and blankets. Staff was friendly. Will recommend to others.

This place was clean, amazingly peaceful, and so much healer than staying in Moab. The communication was great with the owner and check in was extremely simple. I highly recommend this gem in the middle of a peaceful high desert.
