Sorrel River Ranch

An Unexpected Oasis in an Arid Canyon..

Sorrel River Ranch stands akin with the rare and historic haciendas that have bridged the west's dry canyons with luscious fields of alfalfa an oasis within the red walls and spiry buttes. Surrounded by BLM land, with Arches National Park only a ridge-top away and the Colorado River bordering our backyard, the beauty and adventure of the southwest are close at hand.

Location
Sorrel River Ranch is only seventeen miles from Moab, Utah the only town in the state established on the Colorado River— and offers unique opportunities to experience the dramatic splendor of the canyonlands. Cultural diversity is only twenty minutes away in Moab. This small town of 6,000 residents supports several art galleries, restaurants and shops, as well as attracting musical and theatrical talents from around the country. A day in Moab can be spent leisurely strolling through the Dan O'Laurie Museum of History, sipping a cold beer at the micro-brewery or sampling wine at the local winery.

Accommodations
The two-unit Bunkhouse sits on the bank of the Colorado River—the life-source of the southwest. From the shady verandah outside your room, comfy rocking chairs and a swinging love-seat invite you to kick back and watch the river flow. When slumber beckons, fall into the cozy tree-trunk bed and listen to the river's lullaby. A wet bar, microwave and refrigerator, as well as a phone and direct cable TV, ensure convenient comfort.
