About this property

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.

Awesome little place
Had a great time at the gecko house. It’s perfect to have a nice place to come back to within an hour of canyonlands and arches. Will definitely be back at some point.

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 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.

Was very clean and enjoyable stay. Easy to check in had everything we needed for the night. Easy check out process. Would happily stay again. The view was beautiful as well. We enjoyed sitting on the porch swing and just looking out into the desert and the night sky.

Wanderer heading west.
I needed a place to stop along the way heading from Nebraska to the Pacific Coast. The Gecko House was a great place to stop along the way. I was able to totally relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of the area and see the stars at night. The house was lovely, and very clean. Communication was great with the owners. Everything was just right. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Thompson Springs, UT
Three of us stayed at Ballard RV property. It is a fantastic location. It’s close enough to civilization if you need it, but far enough away to enjoy quiet and privacy. 30 minutes from the Moab airport. The canyons in Thompson Springs are amazing - hiking or riding, day or night (the star gazing is phenomenal out here). The staff at the park are friendly and accommodating. The park itself is very clean and appealing. Showers and laundry machines are available for guests and travelers. If you’re a dog owner, they even take your furry family and have a spot for you to walk them. 10/10. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Not very clean
The place was very small and there was cat hair everywhere (my wife is very allergic to cats). Hair in the shower and red spots all over the concrete pad in the front which our dog rolled all over in. We never tried to contact the hosts as with all the cat hair there would have been very little they could have done. We ended up leaving a getting a hotel in Moab.

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!
