PERFECT FALL GETAWAY

When we arrived at the cabin it was exactly as described... very clean and comfortable and the scenery was spectacular. We had never been to the San Juan mountains before and were very impressed with how beautiful the area is! We visited the Black Canyon and drove down East Portal Rd. to the bottom. It was so much fun and a trip we'll never forget. We also drove to Crested Butte and through Keebler Pass. It was such a beautiful Fall day and the aspens were close to their prime. A drive to sparkling Lake Erwin was enjoyed that day, too. We fished the Gunnison River and enjoyed a few trout dinners. In the mornings and evenings, we were amused by the visits from the deer. One was standing close by the morning we were packing up to leave, and just watched us... Thank you for one of the most memorable vacations we've had and would sure like to visit even longer next time... of course it was hard to leave....

Loved the Cabin, great rooms and great accomodations, The Wifi worked great which made me want to get a little work done while in the beautiful rocky mountains. Saw may deer around the cabin, and the trip to the top of the alpine is easy from the cabin. cant wait to return.

Relaxing getaway!

My wife and I enjoyed a few days in this cabin. It was the most relaxing vacation getaway ever. The location was excellent for us as it is positioned in between Gunnison and Montrose. We were coming from Lake City that day and the GPS told us to go through the Gunnison National Forest (as a back-road to get there). This was a perfect way to start the vacation as we enjoyed some of the best sites I have ever seen. When we got to the cabin, we were very impressed with how nice it was, and the beautiful decoration that made it feel very comfortable. Deer, rabbits, and hummingbirds greeted us in the mornings and we even enjoyed some of the fishing of the local lakes of the Arrowhead area. This is a very well kept beautiful place that no doubt in my mind we will revisit someday.

San Juan Cabin

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We spent 6 nights and found the cabin to be exactly as described and depicted in the listing. It was very comfy and quiet, and exactly what we were looking for - a place to relax and spend quality time with our children. We saw mule deer in the meadow outside the cabin every day, and also saw rabbits, elk, marmots, ground squirrels and chipmunks in the area. Wildflowers were in abundance everywhere. We enjoy geocaching and there are several sites within a short drive. We will definitely recommend this cabin to others!

A Wonderful Escape

My husband & I have been vacationing in Colorado for several years, normally in the fall to check out the aspen and the elk. We decided to visit this year during the summer to check out the wildflowers. The location of your cabin is very central to areas we love to visit, so it seemed like a logical place to stay. We just so happened to have picked our vacation during the week of the Wildflower Festival in Crested Butte, but we wanted to avoid the crowds, so we drove to Yankee Boy Basin just outside Ouray instead. We saw a LOT of wildflowers there, and we also took a drive over to Lake City one day via the Alpine Plateau Rd., and that was just as beautiful... it was a very refreshing drive... we highly recommend it. We fell in love with your cabin and also with the community. The porch is so relaxing, we had a difficult time getting ourselves moving to start our days! The hummingbirds alone were enough entertainment for me! We stopped at City Market in Gunnison and later in the week, we stopped at the one in Montrose. We bought store prepared meals, brought them back to the cabin and enjoyed a feast every night. This was a much easier way to enjoy our meals than if we would have struggled with trying to figure out which restaurants to try out. Our last morning in your cabin was difficult... we did not want to leave. We will definitely be returning!

San Juan Mountain Cabin

Date of Stay: 06/19/10 Review Submitted: 07/16/10

Our stay at the San Juan cabin was very enjoyable. The cabin was clean and comfortable. It felt like home away from home. The cool mountain air was very enjoyable and we had the windows and doors open all day. Watching deer in the yard and waking to coyotes singing was a treat. The cabin is fairly remote but centrally located to many sights and activities. We stayed busy riding horseback, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, 4 wheeling, and sightseeing. We visited Silver City. Ouray, Lake City, Durango, Montrose, and more.

Heaven on Earth

What an absolutely fantastic experience. The cabin is as described, however the pictures do not do this cabin justice. The setting is gorgeous, the facilities are the absolute greatest available, and the experience is one that will never be forgotten. Sitting on the porch, sipping a cup of hot coffee, watching the sun appear on the horizon, as the deer and rabbits play in the surrounding fields, is "Heaven on Earth". For anyone who loves the outdoors and the closenesss of nature, this is the place of your dreams. It comes very highly recommended, and we hope to have the opportunity to return for anothe visit to "Heaven on Earth".

Great cabin and lovely location. The aspen were turning and deer visited the yard in the mornings and evenings. The cabin has all the comforts of home. Beautiful back roads in every direction. We enjoyed breakfast and lunch at the Arrowhead Inn. We have stayed in many rental properties and this is one of the best.

We loved the cabin and the setting. The cabin was provided exactly as described (no suprises). The place and furnishings were idea for just sitting back and relaxing - comfortable chairs and lots of windows. The location was centrally located for all the major parks and lakes. White water rafting on nearby Taylor River was fun! Did I mention the beautiful setting? We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
