Real Ranch and Beautiful Private Log Home

This is a gorgeous, peaceful retreat. Birdsong and a babbling creek provide a restful soundtrack to kick back after a day of actively enjoying the mountains. We hiked and fished, zip-lined and rafted, shopped and golfed. The location between Gunnison and Crested Butte offers even more choices than these, but we could only stay one week.

My husband and I along with my parents stayed here for a week. It was a cozy piece of paradise in the mountains. We had everything we needed. All the comforts of home. I enjoyed sitting on the porch swing watching the horses. I highly recommend this rental and would love to stay again if we ever return the area.

Such a beautiful place to spend our vacation! The stars at night were amazing. We loved waking up to the cool mornings and the sound of the horses in the pasture. The fire pit each night was great for s'mores. We spent lots of time on the porch swing enjoying the mountains, looking for wildlife. When you are out on the porch you can always hear the stream that runs through the property. It is so relaxing. The drive into Crested Butte is convenient. But we still felt like we were out in the woods. The kitchen is well equipped, making it a joy to cook for my family each morning with the cool air coming through the windows. The bedrooms are large and comfy, the living and dining areas are roomy as well. I wish we had stayed longer. If we had it to do over again, I would have done less away from the cabin and stayed right there and relaxed more...Thanks for sharing your beautiful place with us. We loved it.

ur family stayed on the ranch for an amazing week in July 2016. It was even better than what we expected. We really loved the location because it was about halfway between Gunnison and Crested Butte. It was easy to get to all the hikes, cute little (very busy) Crested Butte and the rivers. The first few days we had a little challenge unplugging from life as there is literally no cell phone service or wifi. However, by day three we were so relaxed we didn't want to turn our cell phones back on when we left. It was a healthy break from technology.

The hosts, Kirk and his wife, we're so kind and helpful. One evening we wanted to have a bonfire with our family and we asked if we could trim the grass around the fire pit. I would have been happy to do a quick weed eater trim around the pit but next thing I knew Kirk was out there and had it all mowed (it didn't need mowed, we just wanted the grass away from the fire pit.

Our kids really enjoyed the ranch. They had so much fun watching the horses and steer. They were completely fascinated listening to the rain on the roof since we don't get much rain in CA.

Overall we loved our stay. I fell in love with this ranch and would love to have a property like this for my own. Since that's not possible staying here is the next best things.

Great stay. Perfect for our needs.
