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.

Moab offroad trip.

We originally reserved the Gecko house, but were upgraded to a 5th wheel. We had no problems with it at all, actually it was quite nice to be upgraded to two bathrooms! It was clean, no issue with water pressure, and the scenery was quite nice. I also enjoyed the peace and quiet. I’d definitely stay again! Only Quam was the distance to Moab, but I knew it was a ways, plus I don’t like crowds, so it really was perfect! The sights that we could go see right down the road was awesome too!

Great Place, Great Price!

We loved our stay at this little place. We were greeted after a long, hot day with nice cold air conditioning and the whole place made us want to stay a couple more days. If we do another road trip in this direction, we'll definitely stay here again!

Thompson Springs Paradise

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.
