THE SPACE
This three bedroom homestead, nestled on the hillside and surrounded by pasturelands with grazing horses and cattle, sets the perfect scene for a true mountain getaway at this working cattle ranch! This unique log home, built in the 1940's, features exposed logs and brick, hardwood and stone flooring and incredible views of the White River National Forest.

The spacious great room, furnished with South American antiques, is perfect for cozy evenings spent together playing games, watching movies or relaxing. The dining room is bright with oversized windows overlooking the beautiful mountainside and spacious outdoor patio. During warmer months, evenings spent dining outdoors, making s'mores in the fireplace and enjoying the amazing views and mountain breezes are a must!

The comfortable master bedroom has a king bed and beautiful mountain views. The guest bedrooms are both furnished with two twin beds, one with an en suite bathroom. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to prepare a meal.

Great location on the frying pan
Amazing, spacious home with great fishing access. We really enjoyed the pond area and the stretch of private water. As a family traveling with a curious toddler, we would have appreciated a heads up on the mouse traps.

Great Place to Recharge
Ideal location up Frying Pan Rd. If you’re in need of some R&R, this is a good spot. Inside and outside was a little buggy but it’s is an old cabin on a ranch so expected it. Can’t beat the fishing.

A most excellent father-sons retreat.
The location was beautiful and the house had ample room to spread out enabling everyone to relax (in peace if they wished) while affording several places to come together and play games, chat, etc. Lots of windows and light made it a joy for the few days we were there. We’ll definitely get mom and the girls out there before too long to experience the home, the ranch and the Fryingpan River and valley. Lynn was awesome. She stopped over one evening to see how we were doing and answered some questions we had about the history of the ranch, and the railroad that used to exit in the valley. Lynn, the boys thought the place was awesome- we all did!
