This lovely, rustic cabin was the perfect getaway for our family of four. We had full days visiting Ridgway, Ouray and Telluride, and enjoyed retreating to the cabin to recharge at the end of the day and ease into our days each morning. Our kids loved exploring. We saw deer, ground squirrels, chipmunks, many birds, a couple of field mice (remember to keep food in cabinets and fridge) and so many stars!
Having a well-stocked kitchen for meals when the drive to the nearest towns was too much was very helpful. The owners provided plenty of linens, detailed instructions for water/stove, wifi, a nice selection of games, and everything was tidy and prepped for our arrival. The dishwasher and washer/dryer made housekeeping convenient too.
Our highlights in the area include:
The Angler Inn in Placerville was tasty and even did takeout for our Friday pizza night. We'd also recommend Thai Paradise, Kate's Place, Cafe Ridgway a la Mode, and Cimarron Coffee Roasters & Books in Ridgway for meals and snacks. A visit to the Ouray Hot Springs is a great way to wind down and soak up the scenery. If you have young kids, the Wilkinson Public Library in Telluride was a cool and comfortable place to relax and play.
