We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Main House and highly recommend this home. Here's some takeaways:
- The area surrounding the Main House is fantastic and there are plenty of hikes and other things to do to fill a week. The location is special!
- Tom is great. Extremely knowledgeable and a concerned and helpful host.
- Getting to the home will be easy for anyone with a high clearance truck or SUV (with off-road driving experience). For others with some sort of SUV, a few sections of the road might be a little over-whelming. Take your time and find the best path through the rocks and ruts. Try to relax and enjoy the drive.
- We were glad we brought enough food for the entire week and did not have to drive back to Moab for supplies. I'd recommend sticking around the area and making the most of it rather than spending time going back and forth over the pass. (I imagine that for some folks, with the right vehicle, driving back and forth over the pass could be part of the fun.)
- In this price range, you may expect a fancy house with fancy appliances, a gift basket waiting for you upon your arrival, etc. If you rent the Main House thinking that you are going to a fancy house, you will probably be disappointed. The house is a bit rustic, quirky, reasonably clean, and if you are not looking for fancy, you will probably love it. There are definitely some areas for improvement/fixes, but the surrounding area is so fantastic, that it's best to look past these minor shortcomings.
- Be prepared to have neighbors close by. There are two hogans - one is about 50 yards from the main house and the other might be about 75 yards away. This seems perfect if you need additional places for friends or family members to stay. If you would prefer that any neighbors are further away, then the Condo may be the better option.
Overall, fantastic experience and very happy to have had the opportunity to stay in the Main House.
