Placerville, Colorado
Situated on Hastings Mesa 25 minutes from Telluride at an elevation of about 9,000 feet, the 52 acre property is rimmed by mountains in the distance with views of North Pole Peak, and Hayden Mountain. From the patio, view Elk and wild turkey as they roam the old growth aspen forest, sage fields and scrub oak. An enormous 2 acre pond is stocked with trout, drawing plentiful wildlife including bears, coyotes and deer. Though the spring fed pond stays pretty cool year round, it does make great swimming for those adventuresome folks. On the banks of the pond, a wood-burning sauna allows guests to detox and sweat out stress, then jump into the pond to cool off. On the other side of the pond, a trail climbs up for 1.5 miles to the properties highest point. There hikers are able to take in views of some of the regions most beloved landmarks. The home itself, though only 1,100 square feet, feels spacious and warm. Perfect property for dogs, we encourage you to bring them to enjoy on hikes throughout the mesa. An amazing alpine greenhouse provide a large assortment of fresh vegetables including lettuce, kale, peppers, tomatoes, artichokes,figs and an assortment of herbs to be used by our guests. Relax inside and enjoy the humid tropical air. In addition we have recently erected a 300 square foot Tipi with a wood stove that makes for a great year long hang out area or a nice overnight glamping spot for both kids and adults. The combination of the scenery along with the greenhouse and 100% solar powered cabin makes for a unique eco retreat that connects you to the land and brings a sense of calm that will leave you invigorated when you leave.
Beautiful property, in middle of nowhere but close to Telluride. We visited in winter, snow on ground and frozen pond. Our dog loved it. First morning there we were visited by a herd of elk on the other side of the pond. Would love to visit again in the summertime. Host Charles couldn't be any better.
What a great place!! The views are amazing plan and simple! The cabin was stocked with everything we needed (no 9x13 pan but we made do with the cast iron). We spent dearly mornings watching the sun rise and enjoying amazing sunsets! We spent some time in the teepee it’s very cool. The sauna was so wonderful and you have views of the pond. Pond was still beautiful even with its low level do to lack of rain. We would stay again for sure!
We felt like we were on top of the mountain. We enjoyed the sheep coming through to get a drink at the pond. We happen to be there when it was a full moon. That was really fun. Also can’t wait to go back. Would stay there in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for a pleasant vacation we were in paradise.
We loved this cabin and the property. The view is amazing and loved seeing deers, chipmunks, wild turkeys, bunnies and hearing the elk in the distance. Would love to return someday.
Had a great time at the property and exploring nearby towns! The house is beautiful and secluded. Only complaint was that the cleaners showed up at 8 am when checkout was at 10 am.
We had a great time. Beautiful view and very peaceful!
This cabin was a lovely place to stay—secluded and very peaceful. The abundance of wildlife, including deer and wild turkeys, was a welcome surprise. A perfect spot to get away from it all.
We had a wonderful stay. So quiet and relaxing. The views are beautiful from every angle but especially from the deck of the mountains and pond. Wildlife everywhere. All within a short driving distance to Telluride.
The cabin is better than advertised and Charles (host) was great! This is a great property to explore, relax and was a short drive to places like Telluride, Ouray and Ridgway for day trips. The property itself has many spots that are tucked away and offer something different as far as relaxation, views and experiences - for example a stocked trout pond, sauna, greenhouse, fire pit and a teepee! Also, the wildlife is abundant. I already miss this place, we will definitely be back!
Beautiful spot on a pond! Loved the layout of the property, from teepee to wood fired sauna. Will definitely stay here again.
The views right from the deck were even better than we imagined. Just a beautiful area, very priviate, and with several unique features and places to sit and hang out (teepee, greenhouse). We've stayed all over Colorado with our dogs and highly recommend this property.
As always we are enchanted with this special cabin! We love the serene, remoteness that creates such a relaxing stay! Thank you to Charles for sharing this fantastic oasis with again and many more to come!!
This was our second time at the property, and it did not disappoint. We stayed during a huge snowstorm that shut down much of Telluride, but being snowed in for a bit was our favorite part, with gorgeous views of the storm as we cozied up next to the fire, and trudged out through the snow into the sauna with our bathing suits on. It was another perfect vacation for us here, and we can’t wait to come back again soon.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Having such a large property for the dogs to explore was awesome and they really enjoyed it as well. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the Spring/Summer when you can explore the whole property and fish in the pond. We will be back. Thanks!
Nice property, picturesque location with privacy and close to surrounding towns of Telluride, Ridgway & Ouray. Owner was responsive throughout the stay, property was well equipped.
Slice of paradise! Everything about the property was fantastic! Short drive to Telluride but still feels secluded in nature.
Great place.
The location of this property is wonderful with an absolutely exceptional view and lovely amenities. We really enjoyed our stay! If you have a long haired dog be aware there's lots of weeds around with spikey burs that will get caught. Also make sure you drive carefully on the dirt roads because there are tons of deer and elk around in the evenings and the side that goes to Telluride is a little bit sketchy with some tight switchbacks and an uneven/rocky surface. We had an issue with the sink leaking and Charlie was quick to respond and get his maintenance person Tom to come over and fix it. Tom lives nearby and was a delight to chat with. The one thing I didn't like was that cleaning crew showed up before checkout though so we felt really rushed to get out. Overall a wonderful experience!
I could go on and on about this wonderful place! Breathtaking views! Complete privacy and quiet! Cabin is clean, extremely comfortable and easy to be in! Owner extremely easy to communicate with. We’ll be back next fall for longer than a week!!
My husband and I got engaged while on a trip to Telluride and staying at the cabin. We returned this fall to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and everything was just as magical as we remembered! A truly magical place with everything you could need for a mountain getaway. Incredible views, and remote enough but still a breeze to get into town. Already looking forward to our next visit- thank you!!
This place is amazing. 10/10!
Beautiful setting! Very relaxing and property was clean and inviting and supplied with all the necessities! It’s a nice place to get away from crowds and traffic and enjoy beautiful views from a meadow near the tops of the mountains where clouds can be at eye level! Our dog loved being able to run freely outside. We saw deer on property daily.Owner was very responsive. A couple of notes: the drive to the property coming from Telluride is extremely steep with steep drop offs, on narrow road. A four wheel drive is best. If weather is inclement, there is a way up to the property coming from Ridgeway, that is a much easier, not too steep drive. One other note: the kitchen does not have a microwave, so we brought our own little one with us.
Wonderful remote home on a beautiful property.
We didn't want to leave. This property is amazing and stunningly beautiful views. Wildlife everywhere. Cabin had everything we needed. Very relaxing and peaceful.
Fantastic experience. Great location and proximity to Telluride! House is awesome with everything you need. Very responsive host. Highly recommend!
A great off the grid getaway!
