About this property

Rustic guest cabin set in the high country between Telluride and Ridgway

Situated amongst aspens and pines, and just 40 minutes from Telluride's festivals, The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is fully equipped for those who appreciate simplicity in a rustic setting. Complete with bedroom, kitchenette and bath, this cozy space is kept warm by wood stove and cool by the mountain breeze.

The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is centrally located between Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray on a 10 acre parcel which also houses the main Family Cabin. The Family Cabin is occupied by the owners/caretakers and is situated across the driveway from The BunkHouse. Just west of the Dallas Divide Summit, the property is easily accessed from CO Hwy 62.

The property is quiet and secluded near the end of the road, amongst a mixture of 5 to 40 acre parcels making up the surrounding "neighborhood." There are walking trails around the acreage and along the gravel roads in the subdivision. Property is forested with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Gambrel Oak, and Aspen, as well as many wildflowers.
Mountain views are of Hayden Peak, North Pole Peak, and Mount Mary. Wildlife are seen on the property and in the neighborhood. The property has horse shoe pits, corn hole boards, and a sandbox and swing set for children. It is a dog-friendly place. The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is a NO SMOKING property, inside and outside.

The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is 510 square feet with one bedroom/living room combo; wood stove; separate kitchen with dining table and chairs; full bathroom with shower; private deck with forest view. It accommodates two people with one queen size bed and possibly a child on separate sleeping “bunk”. Guest parking is located directly in front of The BunkHouse. There is no cable or satellite TV, but Internet is available. A flat screen TV with built in DVD player is provided. The kitchenette is equipped with dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee pot, electric kettle, microwave, toaster, hot plate, refrigerator, slow cooker, toaster oven, kitchen linens, and paper towels. Guests should plan to bring their own food, drinks, refreshments, and personal toiletries. Bath and bedding linens are provided.

Situated within 30 minutes or less of Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray, The BunkHouse is remote but still makes it easy for festival goers and visitors to access nearby sights, shops and dining. Guests can easily enjoy the great outdoors of the San Juan Mountains by means of hiking, mountain biking, 4-wheel drive excursions, fishing, hunting, photography, etc. The BunkHouse provides an ideal retreat for persons seeking peace, quiet, and privacy in a beautiful mountain setting.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

It's lovely and secluded. Plenty of room. A deck out back for watching the stars at night. Sweet host and hostess. A great jump-off point for hikes in the stunning San Juans.

We loved staying at the BunkHouse! It was the perfect location as the starting point for our daily adventures and a cozy place for when we returned for the night. Larry and Marianne were very friendly and want you to enjoy the San Juan's as much as they do.

Lives up to the reviews!

This is one of the few rentals I have had that really lived up to the past great reviews! Quiet, out of the way location (but easy to access), beautiful scenery, on-site welcoming and helpful hosts, accommodations nicely decorated (loved the birdhouses!) and clean and neat. Thanks for a great weekend!

This was a perfect weekend stay for the 2 of us. The hosts were friendly and thoughtful. They greeted us on arrival and were available throughout our stay. There was a newly added balcony on the backside of the bungalow which we enjoyed. Great addition. We would love to visit again.

Anniversary Trip

These property and the hosts left me speechless! It was such a pleasant stay and so worth the drive. The views you get from this location are truly like no other. Larry and Marianne are the sweetest hosts and I promise you'll come back just to see them. It was extremely cozy and the wood stove made for a romantic evening on a chilly night.

Vacation in Colorado

This was absolutely the cutest most coziest little cabin. We stay in many VRBO‘s and I absolutely love this one. Larry and Marianne were so helpful and so polite. Their generosity went above and beyond. I will be staying there again. Jim and tammy.

Amazing - bigger and better than expected!

All parts of our stay exceeded our expectations. Our hosts were kind and warm without intruding at all - the Bunkhouse provided more than enough space for my husband, my self, and our large dogs. The deck was lovely, the bed comfortable, the entire space incredibly clean. The shower was hot and the kitchen had everything we needed (not a full range with oven - but toaster oven, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave). The craftsmanship that went into building the Bunkhouse (built within the last 20 or so years ) is evident - the care, upkeep, and mountain decor is unmatched. Really lovely. Staying at the Bunkhouse was an experience of a lifetime for anyone looking to stage their stay close to incredible hiking, views, and breath in some clean mountain air. We saw elk, blue jays, and of course deer. Close to Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Montrose (Mount Sneffels and Mount Wilson) we were able to easily access these beautiful locations but skipped the hustle and bustle of so many tourists. We will def stay here again as we continue exploring the better side of the Rockies.

What a perfect place to stay in the San Juans! It is situated between Ridgway and Telluride, with Ouray nearby as well, so mountain exploration possibilities are endless. The location of the bunkhouse is beautiful and although it's in the same driveway as the main house, it still maintains its privacy, especially with the deck. Also, the kindness of the folks living in the main house is unparalleled, so we could not recommend this stay enough!

The Bunkhouse is a hidden gem that I can’t recommend enough. It’s scenic, serene, and the perfect place to stay in between Telluride and Ouray. The surrounding neighborhood is beautiful with the fall foliage, and right off the Last Dollar Road, which has some of the best fall colors. I loved my stay at this cozy cabin, and plan on coming back!
