Collbran, Colorado
Black Buzzard Ranch is located one mile from the quaint and charming town of Collbran, this beautifully finished luxury log cabin on a 9-acre ranch is the perfect getaway for any season. The property lies less than half an hour from Grand Mesa National Park, home of the world’s largest flattop mountain with over 300 lakes and countless trails for hiking, mountain biking, ATVing and snowmobiling. Enjoy shorter lift lines and lower rates at nearby Powderhorn Ski Resort (25 minutes away) during the winter, or go fishing, camping, or boating 12 miles away at Vega Lake State Park in the summer. The home is located 50 minutes from the Grand Junction Regional Airport.
There is room for 11 guests with two spacious bedrooms, a loft with log bunkbeds, a pullout sofa and two and a half bathrooms. The living room has two-story windows with incredible views of the Grand Mesa and a propane fireplace. The house is equipped with Wi-Fi and a smart television equipped with free Netflix and Hulu. There is an ample workspace in the living room for those who work remotely. In the summer, you can cookout on the grill. At night, the star gazing opportunities are unbelievable with the low light pollution of the Plateau Valley while you listen to the sounds of Buzzard Creek at the southern edge of the property. For hunters, the ranch is situated between BLM land, state, and national parks, and includes plenty of options for elk, moose, big cat, deer, turkey, or bear hunting.
The small town of Collbran has two distinct restaurants and a small grocery store. Business hours may be limited, but the home accommodates your meal planning needs with a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor grill, and dinnerware for 24 – all you need to bring is food. In the winter, enjoy the luxury of radiant floor heating on every level. The house resides on a working ranch where we raise Highland cattle. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise on the front porch from either the swing or one of the two log rockers. In the evening you can sip wine and watch the sunset on the cushioned lounge chairs on the back deck, which has park-like views of the pastures and the Grand Mesa in the background. Be sure to look out for the turkeys, deer, bald eagles, and blue herons that frequent the property. Occasional sightings also include black bear, coyotes, bobcats, and elk.
The home is family-friendly. It is equipped with a pack-n-play, booster seat, toys, and two retractable child gates on the main level, as well as outlet covers available. The gates to the main road can be closed while the kids romp and play on the lush, well-maintained lawn.
This house is the ideal place to host your larger gatherings of friends, family members, or even for just one family to enjoy this exquisite log home to themselves on a unique vacation in the western slope, far away from any crowds.

Property was great, clean and it had everything you need to be very relaxed and comfortable. Thanks
The location was beautiful as were the accommodations. We were there mostly to sleep and have coffee on the deck in the morning. Two of our adult children and their spouses were there with us. We spent our days with my brother who lives 8 miles away and who turned 90. His party was at his home. The shortage of TPcreated lots of laughs!
Great property. Only 2 bedrooms and one loft.
The house was beautiful and the property was serene. Anita stayed in contact with me and made sure we had everything we needed. There were plenty of appointments on site and everything was well labeled. We will be travelling back there in a couple of months and will definitely stay again.
First off, my wife and i rarely say we'd stay in the same vacation home twice. We 100% would come back and stay here! We loved the front and back decks with comfy furniture, as well as the beautiful views of Grand Mesa. The beds and couches were also extra comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked (biggie for me). Anita and her staff are fabulous as well. The one issue we had was handled quickly and efficiently. 10/10 recommend!
We loved our stay! It felt just like home! The highland cows were so freaking cute! Loved being able to watch them! Relaxing, fun area to stay! Anita was awesome to work with! Thanks!
Our group of 9 ladies had a great time for 2 nights at this great home. Plenty of room for us and we loved the views and the cozy house. Thank you
Definitely will be back
Nothing less than an excellent experience. The house is immaculate, with all the extras for a family. High chair, family games, small toys, books and a pack n play. The kids loves the bunk room. Everything is well labeled, plenty of room and very clean. The kids loves the cows, horses on property and Mom loved the quiet mornings with coffee on the porch. We saw cranes, crickets, heard elk, saw a bear and plenty of stars. Will be back!
Loved the property and the space and openness. A working event that proved to also be an incredible getaway! Could not have been happier and will be going back with my colleagues or just my family.
They were very thoughtful and the place was beautiful.
Came to Collbran to turkey hunt and could not have been happier with decision to book this property. I have the house booked again in November for another hunting trip. The house manager was great. Looking forward to staying here again.
