SCENIC MOUNTAIN RANCH BORDERING NATIONAL FOREST - BRING FAMILY AND HORSES!

We spent our Spring Break at this most beautiful ranch home and hated to leave! It was a home away from home...very peaceful, home is so cozy and inviting. It is more amazing than the pictures, we arrived just in time to enjoy fresh snow and it lasted a few days so that we did some awesome sledding at the property, snowball fights and lovely winter scenery walks with our two dogs. Our dogs were in doggie heaven with so much space to run and explore...they had a blast! We were also welcomed by lighted and cozy warm home....and delicious homemade cinnamon rolls made by the ranch caretaker's wife, Tammy. Bill and Tammy were so nice. We enjoyed so many fun activities in Pagosa Springs, Wolf Creek, Durango. We couldn't have asked for a better place for our family vacation. We feel very blessed to find this rental home, visited with the owner...Anne several times and she is wonderful and so helpful. We will definitely go back again and highly recommend this amazing place to everyone. Thank you, Anne and family for sharing your home with our family. It was such a blessing! If you renters want a private, peaceful location for a get away, this is the BEST mountain retreat to choose.
Sincerely, The Merritt family...and pets (Max n Smokey)

My husband and I and our two dogs had a fantastic stay at this mountain retreat. The setting is in a beautiful and private valley near Chimney Rock. Our dogs loved roaming in the pasture with the horses after overcoming their initial fear. There are so many wonderful hiking trails nearby as well as the National Forest right there at the house. The house was furnished with everything and more you could want, extremely thoughtful touches. You really can't go wrong staying here. We hope to return soon.

When can I go back?

I just loved this cabin. I stayed for a week at the end of February with my boyfriend and our dogs and it was the best vacation I've ever been on. The house is very well furnished, homey, and very comfortable. We had so much room we couldn't find our stuff most of the time. The wood burning stove kept us cozy when we didn't want to use the heater, and the kitchen had everything we needed besides the food. Coffee maker and grinder!

On the property we went for walks with the dogs, went snowshoeing up the hills, and did cross country skiing in the 5 ft deep snow in the large open pastures. At Wolf Creek we had amazing powder skiing days, followed afterwards by a trip to "The Springs" hot springs in Pagosa, where we ended up every afternoon/evening.

4 wheel drive recommended in winter.
