The Desert Hills Bed and Breakfast offers a rural vacation in view of Moab’s beautiful La Sal Mountains and primarily attracts families and couples. Owners Vic and Anna, with their young son Andre, bought the bed-and-breakfast in 2008. The two-floor home -- with a brick bottom floor -- is shaded by pine trees and there's a small sign on the roadside that can be difficult to see in the dark. The front door is framed by a vine-covered trellis and there's a gravel parking lot. The cozy living room has a familial feel, with pine sofas with Southwestern upholstery, a tube TV, potted plants, and a window looking out onto the wooded property. There are also board games and cards for guests to borrow as well as a laptop computer in one corner corner.

The Desert Hills Bed and Breakfast is just off of a dirt road in a residential area, and is close to downtown Moab and its attractions, but still peaceful. Walking to Moab’s Golf Course takes 20 minutes. It’s an 11-minute drive to downtown Moab’s restaurants, shops, and gas stations. Adrift Adventures, which offers boat trips, is also an 11-minute drive. It’s an 18-minute car trip to the Arches National Park. Canyonlands National Park takes 45 minutes by car, while driving to Dead Horse Point State Park takes 50 minutes. 

The homey rooms at Desert Hills are individually decorated with Southwestern touches, plush carpeting, and pine furniture. The Valley View Room, as the name suggests, has views of the Moab Rim. The Red Rocks Room offers more privacy on the main level. The Sunrise Room has a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and La Sal Mountain views. The Family Suite features a living room, a sofa bed, two bedrooms, and direct patio access. 

All rooms come with Wi-Fi, mini-flashlights, flip-flops, flat-screen TVs, DVD players with free movies, mini-fridges, bathrobes, and irons/ironing boards. The house has central air-conditioning, and all rooms have ceiling fans. Small bathrooms come with shower/tub combos and toiletries. The Sunset Room has a rainfall showerhead and whirlpool tub. Room service is available. 

The rural property features a lily pond, friendly roaming dogs, and a small chicken house, where the owners get the eggs served at breakfast. There's also a charming dining room with a fireplace, a fish tank, a bookshelf, and a small buffet table with a toaster where an included breakfast is served every morning. The shared kitchen features pinewood cabinets, a small dining table, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a stove/oven. Coffee and tea are provided 24 hours a day on the counter. Guests can use the on-site laundry room for free.

In the back is a wooden planked patio that also provides scenic views and patio furniture. A pathway leads to the outdoor hot tub with a brick deck, more patio furniture, and a barbecue grill. Families will appreciate the kids’ playground, which comes with a sandbox, a climbing wall, a slide, swings, and great mountain views.
