About this property

gorgeous modern cabin on private ranch

Pet friendly! Built in 2006 and just remodeled with new appliances and paint, this charming cabin on a private cattle and horse ranch is surrounded by fragrant sagebrush and chokecherry bushes and offers views, privacy, and peace. There is a large fenced yard, a private patio with furniture including cushions, a gas BBQ grill, and a chimenea with firewood provided. Inside, you have a full kitchen, a bedroom, and a full bathroom that includes a new washer and dryer. In the living room, you will find a new pull out queen sized couch, a recliner, a TV, and a woodburning stove. there is a dining table for 4 and an eating bar with two stools as well. The porch offers evening sun, while the patio has morning sun- a perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee! We have plenty of parking, so if you are bringing a boat, your snowmobile trailer, or your side by sides, you will have no problem parking and turning around. This is the only cabin on our ranch other than our private home, which is barely visible from the porch of the cabin due to large bushes and trees. You are less than 15 minutes from downtown Gunnison and Gunnison Regional Airport, and about 40 minutes from Mt. Crested Butte. You can also drive East on Highway 50 and be at Monarch Mountain Ski Resort in 35 minutes. Blue Mesa Lake is less than 30 minutes away. Our gate is located between mile markers 167 and mile marker 168 on US HWY 50. Google map may be slightly off, so look for the gate between those mile markers. We have added photos of our gate and wagon wheel mail box to help you recognize us.

Check-out instructions

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Remove personal items
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Leave the cabin key in front door after you lock it
And that's it! We will get the rest. Although if you were to do any dishes and leave them in the dish drainer it wouldn't hurt our feelings one bit.
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
You may pet the horses over the fence but to go in the corral with them we ask that you are accompanied by an owner so just ask us. Happy to help!

A beautiful property. The whole place is immaculate and the scenery is stunning. Brad and Michelle have made sure you have everything you could possibly need for a relaxing stay. We loved sitting on the patio, soaking up the beauty and watching the humming birds.

Beautiful property and cabin

Cabin is such a unique Colorado experience. Sitting in the back yard you’ll hear an occasional cow mooing or horse neighing, plus watch so many hummingbirds. Stars in the night sky are beautiful too. Cabin is very comfortable and homey.

Michelle and Brad were great hosts! We wanted to get out of Denver for a few days and unplug and their cabin was a perfect spot to do it. We never left the property since this time of year there was plenty of pasture exploring to do. The cabin has everything needed for a stay, including cooking (and/or BBQing) your own meals. And if you want to get "into town" you're only 10 minutes from Gunnison, or 45 minutes to Crested Butte. Highly recommend!

A real working ranch

Always wanted to sit down with a real cowboy and talk about ranching. I lucked out when I met Brad and Michele. The cabin seems modest at first, but it’s been so well renovated that it’s just perfect if you like the Colorado lifestyle.

Wonderful Cabin and Great Location

Wonderful cabin and great location. Michelle and Brad the hosts were excellent throughout our stay. They had the cabin all ready for our arrival after a major snowfall the day before. These hosts pay attention to detail and it shows. Thank you Michelle and Brad for making our stay so nice.

Perfect Peaceful Stay

This has been one of our favorite stays. The house is perfect for a couple (+dogs). We did some snow shoeing outside of Gunnison and in Crested Butte, and the kitchen has all the essentials! Thanks so much for the amazing stay!

Great relaxing stay!

The stay was much needed, and it was perfect! Great views, easy access to things to do, and, the best part, I had nothing to do and had my 3 dogs with me! We don’t get to vacation like this very often so thank you for allowing us!! Seeing the horses in the mornings was a wonderful perk!

A gorgeous calm fall getaway. This is the most welcoming VRBO we have stayed at to date. All the comforts of home with the perfect balance of calm, quiet nature get away. Hosts were responsive and friendly while being respectful of our space. Highly recommend.

Excellent Gunnison location

This was a great vacation location. Would highly recommend it. We use VRBO a lot, but this is definitely the best one for people with dogs. It has a terrific fenced in yard and dog door. 10/10 for value and hospitality.

Incredible dog-friendly cabin offers solitude and security on a working ranch

I can't imagine a nicer cabin! This place was spotless and had everything, including sweet-smelling pinion firewood. Even the tap water is amazing artesian spring water. If you want solitude and security on a gated working ranch, this is the place! Beautiful patio. Michelle makes sure the cabin has everything you need and Brad knows Colorado like the back of his hand; they are the perfect hosts!

Car Show

We came for the car show with our classic car. The owners were willing to accommodate our truck and trailer. We loved parking our car right out front and knowing it was completely safe. The cabin is delightful and how fun to be on a working ranch. Such a fun and enjoyable weekend. We are so excited to book it for next yea!!

About the host

Hosted by Brad and Michelle Phelps

Host profile image
Brad is a 4th generation Gunnison rancher- the last of a dying breed. His Father started ranching in Parlin in the 1950's and part of the ranch is still owned by Brad today. We run yearling cattle and sell grass hay. Lots of history here on the ranch, and some of Brad's family items are in the local Gunnison Pioneer Museum today!

Why they chose this property

We have put our heart and soul into our property and pride of ownership will show that. We hope you enjoy our little piece of paradise!

What makes this property unique

Only a 15 minute drive to town but so quiet and peaceful!
