Photos and Description of the Glenwood Springs vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-6)

This was one of the first school houses up the creek in New Castle, and the only one of 4 preserved. It is comfy and has a nice deck for a fantastic view up the Porter Ranch to the sunlight ski resort.

We welcome you and your pets to our first rental on the Ranch, and are already planning more tents for hunting and those who want to rough it! We offer a fantastic kitchen for the chef in you, and provide a bowl of farm fresh eggs and elk bratwurst for the best breakfast ever! We are centrally located to a plethora of activities, or...just flop at the Cabin and get away from it all! X country ski on the ranch in the winter, or soak in the famous Glenwood Hot springs..climb in Rifle, hunt in Section 42, go to the play, ski Sunlight, Vail or Aspen, all are close! OR Horseback ride with us, galloping across the fields, or introduce your child to our miniature horses!! Grab some herbs and greens from the garden and enjoy them on the front porch with your family, and relax in the glider. Life is good. We welcome you with open arms to our world. It is unique and simple, and you will love it.

Keywords: Chef's kitchen, great views, on a private ranch just minutes from glenwood springs, elk bugle next to the window, horseback rides are available, peace on the front porch, sleeps six

About The Owner

Terry was born to the ranch and this life. He and I run this Ranch as a couple, and make a good team..but without our Jax, Washa Walker, Castle Pines Penelope, and the Grande Dam, Foxy....and the rest of the critters, we would be pretty boring.

The Owner purchased this cabin in 1898
Why The Owner chose Glenwood Springs

our cabin is historical and special. A glimpse of real ranch life is fascinating to others, we have found. Please relax and unwind up here, we welcome you.

What makes this cabin unique

We are so close to the hot springs, or our local's hot pots, as we call them, and really love the privacy and the solitude that we can offer to the world. we are minutes away from world class rock climbing as well, and have had climbers as far away as germany stay here for weeks. Please let us show you the elk pen cabin as well as this one, under construction ...more to come

Whitewater Rafting and Horseback Riding for the ultimate day in the Mountains, we call it the paddle and saddle program, call us to see the discounts if you do both !!!

Listen to the whistles and bugles in the fall, and watch our speckled babies in the spring. Our birds and wildlife are protected here on the Ranch, and we have many exotic species that stop over here for safety and solitude. Do it yourself, ...nothing to chirp or whistle artificially. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh. Unwind and enjoy our cabins. ..another one being built on top of our world. complete with yoga glassed in studio. so cool.

Our family needed a break from hotels and this place was amazing! The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Our 7 year old twins had a great time watching the elk being fed and walking on the ranch. The converted school house is modern, cozy and intimate. We loved eating the farm fresh eggs and elk brats. It was a privilege staying at the ranch and meeting Mary and Terry who are passionate about their homestead. Looking forward to a return visit!

Even in late March, this was an amazing place to stay. You are actually living on the ranch. The cabin was cozy, fully equipped with everything we needed. We especially loved the windows and the views. I expect us to return to spend more time and take advantage of all the exploring you can do on the property, enjoy a camp fire and maybe ride horses. Easy drive to the hot springs too.

Cabin review

Submitted: August 30, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
Took my boys to Colorado for a pre-school-start trip.... was looking for something besides a condo or motel, something more "rustic Colorado." We had such a nice 5 night stay. The property is beautiful, and so quiet and peaceful. Beautiful stars at night as you sit on the front porch. The owners offer horseback riding down the road, which was a beautiful Sunday morning activity. You can reach the town of New Castle within 10 minutes, which has some restaurants, craft stores, a grocery store.... And New Castle is perhaps 12 miles away, which is full of activities and restaurants.
One of the most pleasant activities was sitting on the cabin's front porch on a beautiful sunny afternoon while my boys worked crossword puzzles under a tabletop umbrella, and there's no other sight or sound of humankind. Mary was very kind and accomodating and we had such a nice time together before starting the school year again.
