NOTE Re: ATV's: Ohio City is a "No ATV's Through Town" area. Please trailer your ATV's to approved off-road areas. We want to honor all residents by maintaining a "quiet mountain setting".

Two story, 1,278 sf cabin with partial-use detached garage, horse corral* (corral to be completed, hopefully, end of Sept. '18) with adjoining corral shed / tack room. Situated 8,595 feet above sea level, this "Island in the Sky" has beautiful views up & down Quartz Creek Valley, surrounded by Aspen groves, nearby Quartz Creek, and stunning vistas of 'above timberline peaks'. This truly is 'Rocky Mountain High'!

There is a large covered deck that spans the entire width of the front of the house, facing east (with large log swing & dbl log seat w/ console - see pics). Both the sunrises and sunsets are fully experienced from the way this cabin is situated on the property, in the middle of Quartz Creek Valley.

Please refer to the photo gallery for a greater appreciation of this quaint, rustic, very homey property. As you can see, a picture/pictures are worth a thousand words . . .

Clean, Cozy, and Comfortable Cabin
Cabin is as advertised. Great location, clean, plenty of parking, and enough room for six adults, food, and gear. Beds were comfortable and the bunkbeds were larger than expected. Plenty of hot water and the entire cabin stayed warm even on cold evenings. Communication with the host was easy, check in and check out were straightforward, and we never experienced any issues. Would recommend, as this is a nice cabin for a Colorado mountain getaway.

We celebrated my sons graduation. Enough room for a few friends and family. Horse shoe pits were a bonus. A fire pit was the only thing that would have made it better.

Great Location
We loved staying at your house. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The location is great if you like to take your ATV on the trails around Pitkin, which is what we did. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to visit again.
