Forever Views Secluded Mountain Top Log Cabin
5 m from Stmbt for 30 Day Rental
The close proximity of both town and Nature, combined with the exceptional attributes of our one of a kind log cabin and the very fair price, make our home an unbeatable choice for those who long to get away from it all into the quiet of wide open spaces and skies of Northwestern Colorado, but with some added comfort.
The first two things you will notice when you walk into our home is how full of light the house is and how you can't stop looking out the windows. Log cabins tend to be dark and a bit claustrophobic. Ours feels like a breath of fresh air. Each room, including the bathrooms, has it's own forever view. When you can tear yourself away from the windows you will notice how charming, tastefully and simply this house is furnished and how beautifully it has been crafted. There is no clutter or personal stuff. The closets and cabinets are empty and ready for your use! At the same time there is everything you need for your comfort. The kitchen is extremely well supplied. The master bedroom has a comfy king size bed, its own private deck and bath with shower. The twin bedroom can easily be turned into another king and it also has it's own bath with shower. IF you can tear yourself away from the views and night skies there is a 37 inch flat screen TV in the living room with a Direct TV subscription or a DVD player. There is also a 5CD player if music is how you choose to relax. There is also an internet wireless connection. If there is a chill in the air the wood stove/fireplace heats the whole house and augments the in floor heating.
Outside on the large forever view deck there is an awning that can be unfurled to provide protection from the sun as you dine, read a book or watch the birds. A barbecue allows you to cook outside in the summer. Usually people never want to leave to do anything else.
In addition, the 70 surrounding acres gives you plenty of room to roam and explore. The elk frequently visit during both summer and winter and the coyotes are usually heard yipping in the distance as you sleep at night.
South of Steamboat Springs around the ski area is especially crowded in both summer and winter. You will be in your own private Colorado in our one of a kind custom log cabin on the hill overlooking he Elk River.

This was the most perfect little cabin y’all can imagine. Beautiful view from any direction with stars and the moon seeming reachable with your own hands. So glad someone would share this on VBRO.We such didn’t want to leave.
We had a wonderful time making this cabin our home for Christmas. The views are beautiful, the kitchen is well designed and stocked, the fireplace provided us a comfortable setting, the house is clean and accommodating. Thihcabin is a ge
I stayed in this sweet little cabin with my husband and 2 young daughters and it was absolutely perfect. The house was very clean, comfortable, and well set up. The addition of the wood burning fireplace is perfect. The children slated the drive leading up to the cabin as the BEST sledding driveway they have ever seen. The views are breathtaking and we will be staying in this home in the future when we return to Steamboat Springs.
It was perfect for my wife and 2 adult children on a ski vacation. The cabin is rustic but has everything we needed and was very clean and organized. The night we arrived it snowed 10” and I was able to make it down the long drive in our Sequoia with no problems. When we returned the drive had been plowed. Definitely need 4WD and good tires.Steamboat ski area is about 15 minutes…. Great location and ciews
Our stay at Mountain Top Log Cabin was awesome! Cleanliness, communication with the owner and location was excellent!
Would definitely stay there again :-)
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The photographs on the VRBO page didn't do this wonderful cabin justice. This property was clean, well stocked and the location high on a hill with with a wonderful view was icing on the cake. Distance to downtown Steamboat was perfect...not too far but yet not right in town with the "hustle and bustle". Enjoyed daily hikes, fishing, horseback riding, shopping and nightly dinners in town. Thank you for making our stay such a memorable experience. We hope to be back and highly recommend your wonderful property!
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The cabin was nice and secluded, exactly what we were looking for. The views from the cabin were stunning. The cabin itself was clean, warm and had every amenity we needed.
The cabin with forever views did not disappoint! It was hard to even concentrate on reading a book with the amazing views outside. The cabin, as always, was exceptionally clean and well cared for. The sense of peace and connection with the surroundings are what really makes this place special. And if you want to watch a meteor shower the deck is a 10 out of 10 for that was well!
The cleanest and bet maintained property I’ve had. As advertised and a very nice home. I didn’t want to leave. Also, the location is perfect for anything you’d want to do. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful cabin! WELL stocked with everything you will need! This cabin is a winner in every category! Windows in every room with plenty of natural light. Comfy beds and pillows! Great location! Make sure you arrive before dark as roads can be tricky!
We really liked the quiet and being immersed in nature. During the day we could hear tractor noise way down in the valley but at night it was very quiet. the view over the valley is fine.
the stars were fabulous.
Hansi and Susan have the cabin very well set up and nicely decorated.
We enjoyed some good hikes.
We will be back next year for sure.
This was our 2nd visit to the Cabin of understated elegance, beauty, charm & comfort!
The setting with its long views over the Elk River is stunning.
We would love to return some day!
Favorites. THE VIEWS. ACCESS TO TOWN, CHARMING, DECKS WITH OUTDOOR DINING.
WELL EQUIPPED KITCHEN. THE OWNERS AND CARETAKER, Emily.
We have been here in February also. Equally astounding each time. ❤️❤️❤️
Our recent stay was again Great - everything about the house, owner and caretaker were consistent with our prior fantastic experiences. We love staying at Hansi’s house and will be back!
We have stayed in many special VRBOs, but this was, hands down, our favorite. The location is perfect, close to down but a world away. The cabin was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. It was spotless! The views are unbelievable — sunsets, storms and deer. We felt so very lucky to be able to spend time here. It made it difficult to explore Steamboat because we were so happy here.
Beautiful cabin in a most charming very private setting above the Elk River Valley!
Our stay was most relaxing & enjoyable! The traditional cabin leaves nothing left to be desired, the interior decor with its artful & succinct touches by the owners makes this a very special place one doesn't want to leave. The views from the patio, the magnificent sunsets over the "Sleeping Giant" mountain & starry night skies made this a memorable stay for us!
Amazing views & not too far from town or ski resort
We went to Steamboat to ski for spring break. Originally we were looking for a place closer to the slopes, but this log cabin gave us much more space for the same price and wasn’t too far away. Plus the views are epic and drive is scenic and beautiful. The cabin had everything we needed. The bench and hooks at the entry were great for all our ski stuff. Our stay was very memorable and we’ll likely be back again!

About the host
Hosted by Hansi Hagemeister
Susie and Hansi live in Northern California, Susie in the wine country and Hansi just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Steamboat Springs has always been our 'second home' from the time we were very young and the ski area was just being built. We used to camp up on the ski mountain before there were any runs! Both of us lived in Steamboat for periods of our younger lives, attending the dance and drama camp, Stephens Perry Mansfield, skiing, guiding rivers and hiking in the mountains. We visit Steamboat as often as our lives allow as it as much a part of us as our Northern California homes.
Why they chose this property
This property was first discovered by our father in the 1960's when he fell in love with Steamboat and decided to fulfill his dream of owning a cattle ranch. The original ranch was 300 acres and extended across the Elk River. In 1975 he built the first version of our log cabin. For 20 years our family enjoyed spending time together in what our mother called 'dad's ranch in the sky'. In 1996 the cabin burned to the ground and his two daughters rebuilt the cabin as it was by this time an honored member of the family. All but 70 acres of the original ranch have been sold but the feeling is the same as it always has been, forever views across Colorado ranch land and mountains.
What makes this property unique
Views, tranquility, amazing summer wildflowers, elk migration, birds, fox, proximity to Steamboat, proximity to Wilderness Area
