Sitting near the foot of the Abajo Mountain, the Murdock Cabin is the ideal basecamp for your southwest desert adventures. The cabin features a rustic aesthetic with modern amenities, such as a washing machine and microwave. The master suite, two additional bedrooms and loft, along with family room with futons can accommodate up to 12 guests, a fantastic option for your next family outing or small group retreat. There is just one neighboring cabin that also has access to the property’s charming playground. Beyond that, the nearest neighbor is half a mile away.

The Murdock Cabin sits in an incredible location to explore the wonders of the surrounding area. The cabin is situated centrally among more than a dozen monuments, state, and national parks, including Canyonlands and Arches National Park, Natural Bridges National Monument, and so much more. Spend your time here exploring these natural phenomena, but don't forget to take time to relax on the wraparound porch, soaking in the gentle sounds of the forest. With three miles of private trails right from the cabin door you will reconnect with nature and reset your spirit.
