Wonderful place - private, homey, incredible view.
From privacy to layout to deer and turkey in the back yard ... hiking, sledding, proximity to town--it was perfect. Thank you! Wonderful spot. So great to have stayed for many 180 degree sunrise-sunsets over the San Juans.

This is a fantastic cabin property. The outside space, deck and views are amazing! Everything we needed for our family get-together. Quiet and yet close enough to explore the area attractions. Only thing that would make it better is when they get the hot tub going!

Fantastic Stay
Great experience. I can’t recommend Nikki and her place enough. Nikki is a great host, who truly cares about her guests stay. The place is exactly as described (perhaps better) and was a perfect blend of mountain rustic and modern convenience; and, is in a great spot to serve as a launching point for adventures (close to Ouray, Telluride, hot springs, etc).

You can just stop looking! This is a wonderful house with the best views ever, lots of character and charm, well equipped and close to a multitude of outdoor activities. This place even comes with a petting zoo (with assistance from the property manager of course). Book this one while you can!

Words cannot describe the serenity that surrounds this lovely cabin!! The views are breathtaking, the cabin is super cozy and easy to access, the animals are adorable. Barney the cat greeted us upon arrival and is very friendly. The cabin has all the essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen. It was the perfect place for my pup to explore. Easy drive to Montrose, Ouray, and Telluride. Will 100% be staying here again!!

Cozy cabin with spectacular views
We absolutely loved our stay in this charming little Chalet. I did not want to leave and wish we could live there. The views were spectacular, it was a cozy cabin with everything we needed. It was the perfect location and set up for our group. We were in the area visiting our daughter and grandchildren. This home made for the perfect location for our little family to have dinner and play table games together. We loved seeing wildlife each evening and the local cat was quite the companion. Nikki was quick to respond with answers to any questions I had. We definitely hope to come back in the future and would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking to visit the area. I fell in love with it.

Immaculate property, everything thing you need is on site. In all of our years of traveling, I don’t think we’ve ever had such a spectacular view in all direction. Simply breath taking. I almost didn’t see the need to leave at all, just a book and a glass of wine while enjoying the mountains. We were able to bring our dogs which was greatly appreciated, they travel everywhere with us. The corgi was a little mad most of the time because the barn cat sat in my lap more than he did and both dogs enjoyed the cat walking with us every morning

Stunning Views, Amazing Location
We loved our stay. The house is comfortable, and the location is amazing. The pictures of the views don't do it justice--the mountains all around are stunning. We ate dinner outside every night, accompanied by the extremely affectionate barn cat, Barney. My daughter adored her bunk-bed cave in the basement. And there is so much to do in the area! Beautiful hikes (don't miss the Blue Lakes!), horseback riding (we recommend Baker's Ranch), paddleboarding in Ridgeway State Park, and a short drive to Telluride (where we took an RV tour into even higher elevations). It was extremely hot while we were there, but the basement stayed cool and the house cooled down at night. Oh, and you can ask the host to turn off the outdoor lights at night for the most incredible stargazing ever!

Beautiful mountain escape
The cabin and property were beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The barn cat on the property was a great hunter and we enjoyed having Barney the barn cat to greet us when we arrived at the property. Nikki was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing that I would change about the cabin is the addition of air-conditioning... The cabin got very hot during the day and took a long time to cool off in the evening. The master bedroom window wouldn't open so it was very stuffy in that room. But we made due with the fans that were provided to stay cool during our stay. This would not deter us from staying again. We very much enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.

Million $ view and $1 management and maintenance.
The location was perfect for our purposes and the view is spectacular. However………there was trash scattered on the ground when we arrived. The wood box was also stuffed with trash from a previous occupant. We picked up the trash and the manager(?) came and took the cans. But did not empty the wood box. In fact she wondered if we put it there. After being there for an hour. We finally removed it ourselves after the house began to smell. The fire pit pictured in the listing had been removed and the propane was empty so we had to grill at another property in our group. The kitchen is completely disorganized and if there are measuring cups, we couldn’t find them. There windows are either stuck or if they do open, there are are no screens. Makes it difficult to cool the house. And then there’s the cat. Nice enough unless you run out of food for it. All in all we had a wonderful week. But next time we’ll look more carefully at the property we choose. You may want to do the same if your considering this property.

Fantastic in every way
One of our finest VRBO experiences ever!!! It's off the beaten path - about ten miles south of Montrose then seven miles on mostly gravel road then about an 800 foot gravel driveway. And when you pull up to the front of the house, it's a bit unassuming from the outside. But step inside and WOW. Swiss chalet feel, truly unique and amazing architecture inside and great decor. The Narnia-themed bedroom was really fun. Then out back, a truly unbelievable view. We spent lots of time sitting on the back patio enjoying that, and of course it is also front and center whenever you are in the house. It's on a 100-acre property so there is absolutely no one else to be seen anywhere. The property manager, Nikki, was wonderful in every way. Quick response to every message. There are a couple mini donkeys and a goat in the barn and animal pens. She let us know when she was coming to feed them, and my daughter really enjoyed that experience. There is a cat that lives on the property but does not come in the house, Barney. Probably the friendliest and best cat I have ever been around (I am not a cat person but this one could change that quickly.) Camp Robber was an excellent dinner restaurant in Montrose (about 24 minutes away). Kate's Place in Ridgway was excellent for breakfast (about 16 minutes away.) We are already planning a return visit. Would highly recommend

Amazing mountain retreat
My husband and I booked this rental for a destination elopement with our parents and one child. We all loved it and wished we could have stayed longer! The house is beautiful and spacious and the views and cute animals are just the cherry on the top! We were very appreciative of Nikki being so flexible when some of our guests bailed or needed us to rebook different dates! Not ideal at all but Nikki was understanding and flexible and helped us navigate how to change the reservation! We will definitely be back to celebrate an anniversary at some point and hope to stay longer and enjoy the animals some too! The little kitty is just sooooo sweet and we enjoyed her company and her guiding us around the neat property and all it has to offer! Highly recommend this Vrbo!!

Lovely outside and comfortable inside.
Totally enjoyed our stay with our pup. The log hill location is on a gravel road but easy to get to Montrose, Ouray and Telluride, which were our primary areas of exploration. It did rain part of each day during our stay but we could sit under the overhang, against the house, with sweet Barney the cat and watch the clouds and rainbows over the mountains. Loved it!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very roomy for 3 couples. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had ample supples for us to cook each night. Nikki was very responsive and helpful when contacted. My only suggestion would be to add some brighter lighting in the common areas, especially in the kitchen.
