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 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.

Peace and Tranquility

This cabin on Brad and Michelle’s property is a little slice of heaven. We went to that area for the Wildflower Festival but left Crested Butte early to come back and enjoy the afternoon and evening on the back patio of the cabin. Watching their horses graze in the pasture and the numerous birds at the feeders, it was good for the soul. We hope to return one day!

Ranch life

I loved the story behind the cabin along with the western theme in this lovely log cabin. It was quiet and modern but away from the noise of the highway.I loved seeing the routine of caring for the horses. All was very relaxing.

AMAZING STAY

Brad and Michelle were absolutely amazing hosts and the property was perfect! My wife and I were in town getting married and Brad and Michelle went above and beyond for us during our stay. The cabin was in pristine condition and the views were so beautiful, our dogs loved the backyard, and being able to use the fire pit was so nice! I would 1000% book another stay here next time I am in town.

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!
