Ridgway, Colorado
Experience the charm of a quiet, rustic cabin with all the comforts of a modern-day home. It’s cozily positioned in a secluded mountain escape, located high on Miller Mesa and just eight miles from town. It’s the perfect vantage point for stunning views of the San Juan mountains in all directions, as well as abundant wildlife including deer, elk, bears, and more. There’s even access to the National Forest, conveniently situated just down the road. If you’re seeking a tranquil entry into the natural world, this cabin is your gateway!
The Rustic is made to give the best of both worlds: Old-school allure, but plenty of modern comforts and conveniences. Indeed, “rustic” doesn’t translate into “roughing it!” You’ll experience ease as soon as you pull into the property. The circle drive supplies ample parking for family, friends, and off-roaders with trailers or multiple vehicles. And, the large, raised deck makes you feel like you are in the trees, with a perfect bird's eye view to watch the wildlife.
The cabin itself is made of rough-sawn, circular-cut lumber. Wooden beams throughout the cabin give a feel of mountain-chateau comfort. And, the combination of antique and modern furnishings will instantly put you at ease. Some particular features of the cabin include:
● An open floor plan, which includes the kitchen, dining, and living area.
● In the kitchen: Custom hickory cabinets, river rock pebbled backsplashes, and
black granite countertops, combined with new stainless-steel appliances.
● Two bathrooms on the main floor: the vintage guest bathroom used for the two
bedrooms upstairs, as well as the private master bathroom. The antique bathroom
has a gorgeous original clawfoot tub/shower combo, with a fabulous large cast
iron sink. The master bathroom also has an original antique sink with washboard
and a large walk-in shower with double shower heads.
● A master suite is located in the rear of the cabin on the main floor, allowing for
maximum privacy and a peaceful retreat from the rest of the house. Beautiful
French doors lead out of the back of the cabin, letting you enjoy the views of
nature and peaceful mountain living.
● A laundry room on the main floor is available for use.
● Two upstairs bedrooms; one queen size bed and one king size bed with a heavy
privacy curtain covering the door way in between both rooms.
● A sledding slope on the property is a huge favorite for our guests and keeps the
whole family entertained for hours.
Staying at The Rustic gives you everything you could ask for in a mountain
vacation, including ample opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. There’s easy access to the National Forest, the town of Ridgway, amazing restaurants, and abundant outdoor adventure. Those adventures include: Off-roading, hiking, fishing, hunting, water sports, river rafting, skiing, ice climbing, and snowmobiling, all of which are just minutes from Ridgway, Ouray, or Telluride! We hope you enjoy the many features that this cabin has to offer!
Year round access, recommend all wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicles in the winter months.
The property does have outdoor cameras. There is a camera to the left of the front door facing out towards the road, that covers the front yard and parts of the driveway. It reaches 100 ft towards the road. The second camera is a door bell camera that covers part of the porch looking out towards the front yard about 30 ft. The camera in the back yard is to the right side of the master bedroom and spans out about 100 ft thru the back yard. Cameras are only accessed if a guest, neighbor or property manager deem an issue that needs to be reviewed.
This rustic cabin was exceptional & has everything you need to feel right at home. Our family of 4 had the best time cooking, playing games, sitting by the fire and going for long walks together. The yard is fenced and super spacious making it a safe and great place for the doggies to explore. The views are spectacular! The neighborhood is nice & quiet. Jennifer the host was so wonderful and super helpful. This place is paradise. We can’t wait to come back!
Loved our stay here - well appointed kitchen with everything you need. Fenced yard was great for the dogs. Short drive to town and lots of beautiful views and wildlife around.
This property was very clean and it was as described. We enjoyed our stay here.
We very much enjoyed our stay here, owner was very helpful in making sure our stay was accurate with no issues. Rooms were great, beds were comfortable, and the cabin was very clean. I wish every owner was as nice as Jennifer. The area is beautiful, and the mountain views are not from the cabin as we expected, but you can go down the road where you come in from and the mountain views are great. Owner even told me about an access road that was very nice to drive down with the rented jeeps. It's also a dark sky area so you can see some great night sky stars, down by the gate at the end of the street. We had no issues and is a great place to stay ! Thanks Jennifer.
What a fantastic home! Very nice inside & out. Everything is well maintained and all the amenities you could desire. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the stay! We highly recommend this property for those looking for a very restful vacation retreat!!!
Beautiful cabin in an absolutely gorgeous setting. Our dog loved the fenced yards (front and back) even though he was luckily oblivious to all the deer wandering by. :) Well-appointed inside, extremely well stocked with cooking gear. Thanks for a great stay!
We loved our week at this property. The house was clean and bed comfy. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook each evening. It’s nice to have a built in heater in the bathroom for those chilly mornings to just warm up that space. We had our doggo with us and even though we had hauled his big kennel with us we didn’t have to unload it as there were already dog bowls and a large kennel in the home. Came home a few evenings to dear sleeping in the front unfenced part of the yard at the house which was sweet to watch them and a herd of Elk we encountered in the middle of the road on the drive up to the property was exciting as well. Easy drive to Telluride, Silverton, Ouray and Montrose. Would definitely stay again.
We loved our stay at this cabin. The cabin and location is beautiful and peaceful. The cabin itself is decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable. Only thing to note is the king in living room is air mattresses (that were totally comfortable) I just messed up and did not request them from beginning as I assumed it was a sleeper sofa. The owner was so incredible she took no time at all responding right away when I had questions. We did not have any issues or complaints. We skied every day in Telluride which was only about a 50 minute drive from the cabin. We will definitely book this place again if available when we come back.
This property is perfect for someone wanting to get away and enjoy the peac and quiet of the mountains. The cabin owner, property manager, and maintenance man was the BEST. They made sure we had everything we needed no matter what time. It is beautifully decorated and has everything you could possibly want. On the property is a snow hill and they provided sleds! I would love to go back and stay in this same cabin during a different season to be able to experience different activities.
Fantastic cabin . Had all everything you could possible need and many extras. Isolated enough but close enough to all activities and places we wanted to see. Would highly recommend this property to those who enjoy Western Colorado.
Even better than pictures. We loved staying here on our wedding night.
Clean, comfortable, quiet and had almost anything that you can think of. The owner was very responsive to any questions. We loved it.
We had a great stay at The Rustic. We were gone every day but it was nice to come home to a great house. Loved the style of the cabin. Lots of wildlife in the area; even saw a black bear on the county road!
Beautiful, welcoming, spacious, above and beyond VRBO rental. The perfect getaway for families who love to explore nature.
This cabin and the surrounding outdoor living space was simply perfect. It felt secluded even though it was in a neighborhood and the fenced yard was so nice for our little dog. This was the most well-stocked property we have ever rented. The property manager was very prompt and helpful. The beds were comfortable and the showers were very nice. We drove extensively around the surrounding area/towns as well as hiked several times, and I can honestly say the view on the dirt road to the cabin was the most spectacular we saw on the whole trip.
We recently stayed at The Rustic for 2 months while home searching in the area. Both the owners and property manager were incredibly helpful and made our stay wonderful, in addition to the high quality and well stocked home. It has a fenced in yard which is perfect if you travel with a dog. Highly recommend for your mountain trip!
