About this property

Majestic San Juan, Cimmaron, Ouray Valley Views - Cozy, Secluded perch

The views are the essence of Sajama House; the Pleasant and Ouray Valleys and striking mountain scenery of the Cimmaron and San Juan Ranges and majestic 14,000ft peaks.

The views from the living room, and front deck are calming and beautiful; out the back, you look to the north and Grand Mesa. You can simply watch the day go by, as the clouds dance with the beauty around you, colors play across the mountains and valley out your front door, and at night the Milky Way crosses the sky above you.

The 850 square foot cozy and secluded mountain cabin retreat is located on the escarpment of Log Hill Mesa, 1000 feet above the town of Ridgway. Enter the living entryway through the heated/cooled garage, with one door to the fenced dog run, and the other to the main entrance.

Perfect for a romantic get away, or roomy enough for a family gathering.

Two bedrooms, one and half bathrooms plus a comfortable sleeper sofa makes sleeping space with room for 6. Convection microwave oven, electric stovetop, dishwasher, full size fridge, cooking utensils and cook's tools, crockpot, toaster, coffee maker, plus a washer and dryer makes for a convenient stay with easy driving distance to Ridgway, Ouray, Telluride and Montrose.

Golfing, 4 wheeling, jeeping, hiking, cross country and downhill skiing, world class ice climbing, hot springs and many other activities and views abound. Telluride, with world class powder skiing and festivals is less than an hour away.

HVAC and heated large garage space.

Modern, tastefully decorated abode, with awe-inspiring views, makes staying in as much of a pleasure as getting out on an alpine adventure in this remote but accessible cabin. The living area is accessed via a short set of internal stairs from the main entrance foyer, and is above the garage.

The cabin is accessible via a county paved road, and 2/10 mile on a smooth graded road

If booking for the winter, please ensure you have an AWD vehicle.

We love this home!

This is a wonderful, cozy cabin-like home up on a huge hill with a 180 view of the San Juans. We’ve stayed here three times and will be back next year. It’s simply the beset for anyone wanting to be far from the maddening crowd but find civilization a short drive away.

The best ever vacation stay!

This is our second visit to Sajama and we have already booked next year. If you're looking for a getaway with a 180 view of the mountains in a lovely home with great, caring and responsive owners, this is your place. If I could, I'd rate it a 10!

Perfect for family of 3

This was our 2nd time staying at Sajama House and everything about it wonderful. Size is perfect for our family of three, neighborhood is quiet with plenty of hiking trails with amazing views. The view from deck is amazing especially at sunset. Great location; 15 min to Ridgway, 30 to Ouray and 45ish to Telluride or Montrose. Very clean and a well stocked kitchen with everything we needed. Would highly reccomend.

Cozy, clean with spectacular views

Everything was wonderful, especially relaxing out on the deck enjoying the beautiful San Juan mountain range. We had our dog so we made sure we cleaned up upon departure including shaking out the rug, vacuuming and cleaning the home all around. I wish they had more pantry space and an oven, otherwise a perfect vacation.

Lovely relaxing getaway

Everything was on premises that we needed. Views were stunning…house was warm & comfy…fun reading material to browse..nice walks through forests of pinyon pines. Everything was neat & clean…bed was SO comfy. The fireplace did not work but we didn’t care…watching sunrise over Courthouse mountain or sitting in sun on deck breathing the fresh air was all perfect!!

Clean and Comfortable Stay in Ridgway

Our family enjoyed the stay in this clean 2 bedroom, 1 full bathroom (plus extra toilet and sink) Loghill Village home. The beds were comfortable, kitchen was stocked well, and even the garage is heated and cooled. Our teenage son enjoyed the loft and extra bed above the kitchen. The Wi-Fi connection is great and my husband didn’t have any issues keeping up with work or video calls when necessary. Communication with the owners and the property manager was great and we appreciated their quick responses.

We LOVED the Sajama House! Excellent location, stunning views in every direction!

We have stayed in over 15 VRBO's in the last 7 years and this was by far our favorite! Views to die for. Almost didn't want to leave the house. We loved Orvis Hot Springs, driving to Ouray, hiking the escarpment, seeing Box Canon Falls. We also rode the gondola at our day trip to Telluride and drove the million dollar highway from Ouray through Silverton to Durango to ride the Cascade Express train. Just constant beauty everywhere everyday. Ridgway is a stunning community with great places to eat. We would definitely stay here again in a heartbeat.

180 Degree Panoramic View

I’d give this place 6 stars if I could! The 180 degree view of the San Juan mountains is stunning to say the least. It was just what we were needing. It’s very private and secluded. The trails in the neighborhood are fantastic, especially the one called the Escarpment Trail. It runs along the ridge of Ridgway and the views are unbelievably beautiful. We really enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and looking out at the mountains. The deck was one of our favorite places and it was so nice to grill and dine al fresco. I highly recommend this place. We will be back!

Cozy cabin with great views!

The cabin was super clean and well stocked. Just the right size for our family of 4. Check in was easy and the owners were very friendly and quick to respond if we had any questions. We loved sitting on the deck taking in the beautiful views of the mountains. The neighborhood was quiet and we saw lots of wildlife while driving to and from the cabin. It is about a 15-20 minute drive up the mountain from Ridgway, so factor that in if you're planning on visiting other towns during your stay. It didn't bother us, we enjoyed being away from the busier areas...and the views are worth it!

Perfect place for us

We were a family a five with 2 teens and ten year old. The cabin was the perfect fit. It's not big but it was big enough. The views are amazing just like many other reviewers have mentioned. It was really hot a couple of days during our stay and the air conditioning was really nice to have. The kitchen included enough dishes and spices so we could cook some meals there. It was nice to have 1.5 baths too! No issues with the wifi. There were some games and books that we used also. Most days we were out exploring nearby towns of Telluride and Ouray, but we also went to Ridgeway a few times. There are so many hiking trails in the area which is mostly what we did. We did a couple of hikes right in the neighborhood which were very nice as well. Most people are really friendly in the neighborhood and almost everyone waves. One thing I really enjoyed was that we saw lots of wildlife. Lots of birds around the place including frequent hummingbird visits to the feeder. We saw a mule deer with antlers in velvet walk across the driveway one evening. Also, elk and deer on the drive in from town every day. I think this was a perfect place to stay and experience the beauty of SW Colorado with the snow capped mountains and peaceful valleys. Absolutely enjoyed out entire visit. One last note: Our host (Carol) was very responsive to any questions we had. Also, the local caretaker (Lisa) was there when we needed her (accidently locked ourselves out one day).

About the host

Hosted by Carol Alvarez

Host profile image
Hi,
Thanks for your interest in visiting Sajama House. We are originally from Colorado and Bolivia. Carol grew up in Oruro near the 21,463 foot (6,542 m) Sajama peak, Bolivia’s highest mountain. The name Sajama House reflects the awe inspiring views of the San Juans. When we are not in Colorado, we live and work improving public health in Africa.

Why they chose this property

Its been our vision to find a place to call home that would give us inspiration every moment. Sajama House is perched on the edge of the escarpement overlooking America’s highest peaks, and most beautiful mountain and valley views. We hope your stay here will be re-creating, and allow your sprit to fly.

What makes this property unique

The views from the living room, and front deck are calming and beautiful, out the back, you look to the north and Grand Mesa. You can simply watch the day go by, as the clouds dance with 14,000 peaks, colors play across the mountains and valley out your front door, and at night the Milky Way crosses the sky above the house..
