About this property

Charming Mountain Chalet with Stunning Views

  • The Ranch
    Welcome to our "Home on the Range" overlooking the majestic San Juan and Cimarron mountains. At nearly 8,000 feet atop Log Hill mesa, this mountain retreat offers the most spectacular views the western slope of Colorado has to offer. Perfectly situated between Ouray (30 minutes), Ridgway (20 minutes) and Telluride (1 hour), enjoy 35 private and wooded acres of hike, mountain bike, horse, snowmobile, cross country ski and snowshoe trails right outside your doorstep. Explore the fun shops and jeep tours in Ouray, the delicious restaurants and farmers market in Ridgway, and the slopes of Telluride.

    PLEASE NOTE: We have a resident barn cat that lives on the property. She is very friendly and loves people. As this is her home, we are not able to put her away or remove her from the area as she relies on being outside for food and water sources. If anyone has a cat allergy or cannot be around cats, please take this into consideration before booking.

    The Space
    The house, detailed in beautiful, reclaimed barn wood, has three levels offering one bedroom with a king bed and full bath on the main floor. The second floor has two bedrooms both with queen beds and balconies and a full bath to share. The 900 square foot basement has a large bedroom with two queen beds, full bath, small kitchen, built in bunks (recommended for 16 and under), mud room and a cozy living room perfect for movie nights. The main floor family room offers plenty of natural light with a spacious kitchen and dining table for eight, comfy leather sofa and chairs by the fireplace and a wall of windows to enjoy the inspiring scenery. Step outside on the deck and relax into the tranquil surroundings - be sure to watch for the alpenglow and millions of stars at night.

    Bed configurations:
    Upstairs: 2 Bedrooms with a queen bed in each (total of 4 guests)
    Master Bedroom on the Main Level: king bed (total of 2 guests)
    Basement: 2 queen beds and bunkbeds with full on bottom and twin on top (total of 4 adults and 2 children)

We thoroughly enjoyed this property! 7 adults and 2 children plus two dogs. We had enough room for everyone. The house is beautiful, we had all the comforts of home. We stayed 5 nights in June 2026. The scenery is stunning, sitting on the patio every and using the fire pit every night was a big hit for us. Nikki the host was available if needed but we didn’t need a thing. Barney the resident cat was a hit with the kids and adults, she is living her best life, I am so jealous! We would definitely stay at this property again. We learned to watch out for the small cacti in the yard, just part of the flora and fauna! This property is a great vacation location, central to beautiful towns and lots to do.

Wonderful place - private, homey, incredible view.

From privacy to layout to deer and turkey in the back yard ... hiking, sledding, proximity to town--it was perfect. Thank you! Wonderful spot. So great to have stayed for many 180 degree sunrise-sunsets over the San Juans.

Great Family Vacation

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The views from the house were amazing. We spent some great family time on the back porch around the fire and dinner outside. We enjoyed walking around the property and Barney the cat was very friendly. Watching the deer in the morning was a plus. We all had a fantastic time and the kids loved Pip (the goat) also.

Beautiful property

This was our first experience with VRBO and it was wonderful. The house is perfect! Well-appointed and decorated, and spotless. The views are amazing. It’s an easy driving distance to both Ridgway and the Montrose airport; Telluride is less than an hour away. Enough property that people can take hiking trails just by walking out the front door. A special treat is Barney the cat, who we loved spending time with and is very affectionate. We had 6 adults staying there and we had plenty of space. The property manager was very responsive. Highly recommend!

Cozy cabin with spectacular views

We absolutely loved our stay in this charming little Chalet. I did not want to leave and wish we could live there. The views were spectacular, it was a cozy cabin with everything we needed. It was the perfect location and set up for our group. We were in the area visiting our daughter and grandchildren. This home made for the perfect location for our little family to have dinner and play table games together. We loved seeing wildlife each evening and the local cat was quite the companion. Nikki was quick to respond with answers to any questions I had. We definitely hope to come back in the future and would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking to visit the area. I fell in love with it.

Views

Immaculate property, everything thing you need is on site. In all of our years of traveling, I don’t think we’ve ever had such a spectacular view in all direction. Simply breath taking. I almost didn’t see the need to leave at all, just a book and a glass of wine while enjoying the mountains. We were able to bring our dogs which was greatly appreciated, they travel everywhere with us. The corgi was a little mad most of the time because the barn cat sat in my lap more than he did and both dogs enjoyed the cat walking with us every morning

Beautiful mountain escape

The cabin and property were beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The barn cat on the property was a great hunter and we enjoyed having Barney the barn cat to greet us when we arrived at the property. Nikki was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing that I would change about the cabin is the addition of air-conditioning... The cabin got very hot during the day and took a long time to cool off in the evening. The master bedroom window wouldn't open so it was very stuffy in that room. But we made due with the fans that were provided to stay cool during our stay. This would not deter us from staying again. We very much enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.

Million $ view and $1 management and maintenance.

The location was perfect for our purposes and the view is spectacular. However………there was trash scattered on the ground when we arrived. The wood box was also stuffed with trash from a previous occupant. We picked up the trash and the manager(?) came and took the cans. But did not empty the wood box. In fact she wondered if we put it there. After being there for an hour. We finally removed it ourselves after the house began to smell. The fire pit pictured in the listing had been removed and the propane was empty so we had to grill at another property in our group. The kitchen is completely disorganized and if there are measuring cups, we couldn’t find them. There windows are either stuck or if they do open, there are are no screens. Makes it difficult to cool the house. And then there’s the cat. Nice enough unless you run out of food for it. All in all we had a wonderful week. But next time we’ll look more carefully at the property we choose. You may want to do the same if your considering this property.

Great experience. I can’t recommend Nikki and her place enough. Nikki is a great host, who truly cares about her guests stay. The place is exactly as described (perhaps better) and was a perfect blend of mountain rustic and modern convenience; and, is in a great spot to serve as a launching point for adventures (close to Ouray, Telluride, hot springs, etc).
