Hunting/Vacation
We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful ranch! The views were spectacular. While the guys hunted, the girls enjoyed relaxing and shopping in the nearby communities. The ranch provided a spacious getaway with plenty of room for everyone! Our host was gracious and attended to any request we made! We hope to enjoy this cabin again!

The Ranch
This place is great. It is very secluded but has ridiculous views. The home is well equipped and was clean. We enjoyed everything about the property and hope to be able to return in the future.

What a stunning location. This cabin is situated on an amazing piece of land 16 miles north of Dolores, CO. Such a peaceful place. The kids loved it. Especially the ping pong table.

Amazing Views
Gorgeous views! We enjoyed our stay and would visit again. We had fun going to Mesa Verde, the Four Corners, and driving the San Juan Skyview Scenic Byway. We also brought along our side by side and had fun on the trails near Dolores.
Beautiful scenery, huge ranch with elk herds grazing every evening. Big walkable property. Giant, well equipped kitchen & living area surrounded with windows overlooking incredible views. An unusual and remarkable experience!

Great property, ok house
We loved the property and the house for the most part. The views out every window were amazing. The large open concept living room was perfect and the porch was the best. The house could use some updating and work. The shower in the second bathroom did not work at all but we were able to use the toilet and sink.
But other than that we were happy and loved this rental.
