This property is one of a kind, nestled in a mountain paradise unlike any other. Spectacular views await you as you listen to abundant sounds of the natural water that rolls through this ranch. As you sit on the private beach with your toes in the sand and look at the views, you truly feel like you are getting away with something. This property is unlike any other vacation rental you will find and truly a destination with its own private features. Please come and join us.

The owners of this property also own the ranch next door which can be added if you need more space. It can be found if you search for One of Kind, Perfect Mountain Retreat Please check out other property It sleeps 16 more. This property is within 1/2 mile of this cabin and its all on private land. With both properties you could sleep 26. We plow the road but all wheel drive are needed for winter months.

This ranch is an amazing place with things to do that you would never find at a normal vacation rental. 5 ponds with natural water rolling through the ranch. Each property has its own exclusive pond which is stocked with fish. There is also 1 other common pond stocked and 2 other ponds that are not. Wildlife can be found everywhere and it`s hard to not see deer and elk enjoying the ranch. We have our own hiking trails on the ranch which are open threw out the 750 acres. Also, national forest access is very nearby with more hiking and exploring opportunities. Please check house rules for some restricted dates from late September threw November for hunting which limits ranch use but the cabin is still open for use during these times.

I am a full time employee of the ranch. I am there most normal business days and provide a tour if you arrive during those time. Ranch tours are not guaranteed. I live in Gypsum and often pick things up for my guest and delivery them on my way up to the ranch.

This no typical vacation rental by far. Not only do we have 750 acres of our own private land with our own woods and 5 ponds(3 stocked with fish) you also have the National Forest nearby for more exploring opportunities.

We are a non motorized ranch except for the main road but do offer many hiking trails.

We have a $75 pet fee which I will send you a special offer for once you indicate you have a pet. Please do this before you book so we don`t have to charge you again, thanks

    I was traveling through the Rockies, and decided to spend a couple of nights in a cabin in the mountains. I found this one, and decided to try it. I was very well rewarded. What a wonderful location! I love peace and solitude, and that is exactly what this phenomenal cabin offered. Very nice cabin, gorgeous views, and oh so quiet. Thank you for sharing this lovely place.

    We were floored by the view and seclusion of this property— it was so high up the mountain it was incredible! We’ve stayed in so many VRBOs and this was our absolute favorite!

    Cabin was clean, inviting and well equipped for our stay. Grandparents loved the hummingbirds and hot tub, tween loved the loft space and puppy loved the creek and pond. We had to wrench ourselves away from the views! Thank you for a wonderful stay. Will be back!

    The location is so amazing and beautiful. We didn't get to explore as much as we wanted, but you don't have to go any further than the deck to enjoy the view. The cabin itself is also very nice. There was only two of us, but it has three separate sleeping areas that would be nice for multiple couples or a friends' retreat. When we had a couple of minor issues, Jeff was very responsive. Thanks, Jeff!

    My husband and I wanted some quiet time in a beautiful location and this cabin met and exceeded every expectation. Truly, pictures cannot do the views justice. We were constantly in awe every time we stepped onto the porch, which looked like it was out of a movie with the rocking chairs and all. We spent as much time outside as we could and hiked the ranch’s private road. It felt like a peaceful mountain hike and we didn’t see another soul the entire time. I’ve never been able to have our dogs off leash with us like that and it was a truly wonderful experience. If it ever got too cold out we just hopped in the hot tub and continued to enjoy the view. We also had a fire going most evenings and absolutely appreciated the firewood. It was such a nice touch and really amped up the cozy vibes. I’m not sure we’ve been as relaxed as we were at the cabin in a long while. All practical concerns were more than met too. The internet worked well, there’s a TV, the beds are comfy, there are tons of blankets, all basic cooking necessities (and nice appliances!), and the house felt so cozy the entire time. I definitely recommend bringing everything the packing list mentions. We really loved having our robes and flip flops to walk back and forth to the hot tub. Indoor slippers are a must because your shoes will definitely get dirty (bring hiking boots!). If you have dogs, then I’d recommend bringing your own towels, shampoo, and a brush. We could not keep our dogs out of the ponds and were so happy to have our own towels and supplies to bathe and dry them without worrying about getting the indoor towels dirty. There are a few bushes with stickers near the house and we constantly were brushing them out so were also happy we brought some rubber work gloves with us. We are already talking about coming back as soon as we can and I think one of our friends is going to book based on our pictures alone! You won’t regret your stay if you’re looking for peace and relaxation in a gorgeous setting.

    What a phenomenal property. The cabin is so comfortable, the hot tub is clean and the views are breathtaking! We were greeted by Rosalyn and Jeff, and both of them made our stay even more relaxing. This is by far one of our favorite vacation homes, and we hope to be back very soon!

    Come to Windance and experience the expansive space of the mountains! This place is in a magnificent setting with miles-long views in every direction; It was our BEST vacation rental yet. If you want stunning landscapes, endless skies, private trails, ponds, streams & roads to explore, THIS is your place. The great cabin offers comfort and convenience for those few moments you'll want to be inside. We brought books but we could not take our eyes off of the view - when on the deck or in the cabin, the distant cliffs and peaks demand your attention. The crystal-clear hot tub beckons you to watch the night sky. The SUP boards and kayak await you on one of your private ponds. The kitchen is well-appointed and efficient with quality cookware, appliances, dishes and any gadget you may need. It's very narrow - 2 people must coordinate carefully. But good luck getting anything done with the Northward view of the FlatTops right out your kitchen window! Or cooking at the stove when Castle Peak is lookin at you just across the dining table. Even during the monsoon rains, you can be outside under the deck roof overhang. We had one chilly evening (in July!) so we got to use the fireplace. Yes, there were flies and bugs during the heat of the day, but they disappear along with the sun. Yes, there were LOTS of bugs at the pond, but most of them were beautiful electric-blue dragon flies. Also be prepared for some aggressively feisty hummingbirds! They were not happy when I removed the feeder for sanitizing & re-filling (1 part cane sugar to 4 parts boiled water and NOTHING else) and an intense battle commenced for the fresh nectar. Yup, saw 2 bears during our stay. One watched us from the ridge and then turned and ambled over the horizon - what a thrilling relief! Jeff was very helpful and responsive. He was very respectful of our privacy, but he also offered help & logistics if we ever needed him. AT&T cell service was sketchy and the internet is slow (that's NOT why you go to Windance) also Jeff is working somewhere on the ranch each day, but he always responded to us. We hope to return to Windance Cabin. If we ever win the lotto we will try to buy it! LOL. If you're looking for a pampered, luxurious material experience this may not be the place for you. If you want a private, secluded & comfy home base to play & explore your staggeringly beautiful surroundings, make plans for Windance.
