About this property

Wrap Around Deck, Mustang Mesa Cabin

Mustang Mesa Cabin, Luxurious, Western, Solar Cabin, featuring a full wrap-around 12 to 16-foot deck, oversized bathtub, dual head shower, TV, WIFI, picnic table, fully furnished kitchen, dining room, all linens provided

The Mustang Mesa Cabin is truly one of our most luxurious accommodations, featuring a wrap-around deck, oversized bathtub, dual head shower, TV, WIFI, picnic table, fully furnished kitchen, dining room table, all linens! Sleeps up to 6 people.
A one-of-a-kind solar vacation home, set alone on Mustang Mesa with a 360-degree, 100-mile view in all directions as far as the eye can see, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah! Absolutely amazing night sky view! Relax on the large, wrap-around deck in the sun, shade, or under a million stars. Sunrises and Sunsets are absolutely stunning! The Mustang Mesa Cabin has a way of making you feel extremely secluded, while just two miles away lies the most popular lake in San Juan County - great for swimming, fishing, boating, and water sports!
Inside, you'll find much more space than you anticipated - with stunning vaulted ceilings, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths, a full kitchen, a very spacious living room, and cozy sofas! (The main level only - upstairs and downstairs are not accessible).
Bedroom 1 has a King bed and an additional queen Futon, plus sliding door access directly onto the deck, amazing views!
Bedroom 2 has a full bed.
Bedroom 3 has two queen beds
Bedrooms 1 & 3 can be joined by opening the double sliders between them. Pack-n-Play is available for your use.
All linens (towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, etc.) are provided for you. The kitchen is also stocked with all the cooking and serving utensils - all you bring is the food!
WIFI and Satellite TV are provided at no additional cost - that is of course if you ever get bored enough to use them. You'll be far too busy exploring all the popular national and state parks and monuments in southeast Utah - that's right, the Mustang Mesa Cabin is located centrally among more than a dozen of them!

(Please note: the house is not pet-friendly.)
Please Note: Throughout the rental season the owners may periodically stay on-site in their private quarters. When the owners are present they are available to answer any questions the guests may have.
We would like to go on and on, but the photos of the cabin are worth a thousand words! Please feel free to ask any questions you may have or use the availability calendar to check for availability online when you're ready. We look forward to your stay!

Great in every way

It was a quiet, clean, and comfortable place to collapse after each long day of hiking and playing outside. And the night sky was incredible. It was too big for one person but the location was perfect for my needs since I wanted to visit several places in Arizona as well as National Parks in Utah. Highly recommended.

Best views

This was the perfect spot for our family of 4 to get away and relax. The views are breath taking for day photography or night photography, we went to Moab, Four Corners, the reservoir just down the road for the kids to go swimming. This was a great central location to see many things but also so quiet to just sit on the deck and enjoy the silence and views. Homeowner was great and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful Utah Experience

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here as we were exploring the area. It was nice to be a little bit away from everything on the property, and the huge deck was so nice to enjoy watching the sunset or night sky. There are so many things to see in the area, and we plan to come back with our family. Linda was helpful if we had any questions and wanted to make sure that everything went well. We had a wonderful vacation.

Awesome Place!

My wife and I stayed for five days and found the house to be the perfect base camp to explore the area. We spent each evening and morning on the deck watching beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Very secluded. We will be back!

Sublime sunrises and sunsets in this luxury, private log cabin.

Although a couple of miles on a track off the main highway, it was easy to find from the directions, and our host Linda left a basket of tasty extras for our arrival. The home has all the facilities and comforts you would need and was spacious and elegant. We travelled to Arches, Canyonlands, Natural Bridges Monument and Goosenecks, plus several areas for trekking and we loved coming ‘hone’ to the cabin to sit and watch the sunset. We had taken groceries and easily cooked our evening meals, enjoying the tranquility of the home and the sense of peace. The house has a large living kitchen area, a large master bedroom, with sliding doors to a further bedroom with two double beds. A third double bedroom also could fit a couple.

Beautiful property, but off the grid.

This is a beautiful, roomy, centrally located property for seeing the Four Corner sites. However, it does operate off the grid with a back up generator. We had two major problems. One, it was advertised online as accessible. It was not. We had to negotiate six steps to get into the house. That was a problem for two of our party who had mobility issues. Second, we arrived to find out that the 20K generator had been out for two weeks and we had not been called by the property manager, as the owner had instructed him to do. We were advised to not use the dishwasher, washer, dryer or guest CPAP machines after sundown. That was a problem as we had long site-seeing schedules each day and wanted to come in of an evening to shower, do laundry , cook and prepare for the next day. We were also limited with lights and fans. The property manager did not seem very interested in getting an alternative generator so at least the CPAP machines would work. That caused a lot of anxiety by the two parties needing to use them. Fortunately, the property owner was on site and went to work to make our stay as comfortable as possible. She even located a shower chair to make the garden tub more accessible. By the end of our stay the online listing had been corrected. To date there has been no effort made to adjust the fees we paid. We specifically said to the property manager that we felt that would be appropriate since he had failed to call us and allow us to stay at another property in the area. The property owner also agreed that a monetary adjustment should me made. All in all, this would have been an ideal property if it had indeed been accessible and we had been able to use all the appliances when we needed them.

Excellent Place for Quiet Getaway

We loved our time at this beautiful property. It was the perfect staging place for a trip to Natural Bridges and other scenic sites. It was so relaxing and made for a perfect breather from our normal routine. Thanks so much for your hospitality! The banana bread was excellent!

Magnificent viewing at Mustang Mesa

We enjoyed our time at this lovely property. The cabin was very clean, bed was comfortable (we were just two and used the king bed), the kitchen was the best equipped we have ever encountered and this all came with lovely mountain views!! We enjoyed sitting on the large covered porch in the evening and had at least one night with a big full moon. If you should be so lucky to have clear skies without a full moon, the star viewing here should be fantastic! There was even a thoughtful welcome basket with a few goodies. We would love to make a return visit if our travels bring us back this way.

Great house. Great views. Great location

We loved the house. It was secluded and quiet but still only three miles from the local town. We also loved our ability to use it as our base camp for day trips to local national parks and outdoor activities. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a real chance to get away from it all.

Best Spontaneous Trip Ever

We had the best time ever at this cabin. It was really nice and the location was perfect to attend so many national parks for our kids. I just wish it had a grill outside to do some grilling and that is my only complaint. It was so beautiful there and peaceful. The stars were amazing and the views were breathtaking.

Artist's Retreat

We totally enjoyed this lovely cabin, and can see ourselves returning in warmer weather. We visited in April, and it was a bit cool to be out on the beautiful wrap-around deck! (Next time!) It is beautifully furnished and quite comfortable. The kitchen is small, but has everything you could possible want, and functions beautifully. I recommend this property highly!

Great Place to Stay

We loved staying at this beautiful cabin with 360 degree views of several mountain ranges! The home was very clean, comfortable and well cared for! The owner, who was very nice, visited us on our first day and let us know if there was any thing we needed we could call. The cabin is in a great central location to Arches Nat'l Park, Monument Valley, Moab, Canyonlands Nat'l Park, Natural Bridges Nat'l Monument and many other areas of interest. Would definitely stay here again!

Why they chose this property

This cabin has a full kitchen and living room/dining room areas along with plush sleeping areas. We are centrally located among 12 National Parks and Monuments. This beautiful cabin is secluded, quiet and private, yet is accessible to the highway for easy visits to sites of your choice, or just relax on the covered patio and enjoy the scenery and quiet. The sunrises and sunsets here are spectacular, and the star gazing is out of this world. You are sure to enjoy the cabin and all of its western luxuries.
Thank you,
