About this property

Mountain View Cabin

You know, I came to this area for over twenty years before I finally purchased and retired here. I spent twelve years travelling in the Music business and have traveled all over the world. There are very few places in the world like Ridgway. I am amazed at the continuing outdoor activity that never seems to stop. It just transitions from winter activities, skiing, cross country ski, ice climbing, snowmobiles, snow boarding and on and on. Then we transition in to Spring and all that goes with it, from Mountain Climbing, Hiking, Jeep Trails to die for, Fishing, Boating, Motorcycling and on and on. The beauty that surrounds this little community is surreal. When I purchased this perfectly located property it had This beautiful log home rental with spectacular views of the Cimarron and the San Juan Mountains. The cabin is now a fully furnished mountain retreat with everything you will need for a comfortable, affordable stay. Private road with lots of wildlife. Beautiful old Cottonwood trees with an old tire swing. A creek runs through the pasture keeping the grass lush and green. Enjoy the panoramic mountain views. Far enough away from civilization, yet walking distance to town! Located on a farm with lots of wildlife. Only 26 miles from the nearest airport. 2 miles to the famous Ouray Hot springs. 9 miles to Ouray, an easy drive to the Ice Climbing Park off of Camp Bird Mine Rd. and Imogene Pass, renowned for Jeeping and 4x4s. 35 Miles from the Ski Lifts in Telluride. If you think you like staying in Telluride, then you should try this very special Gem in Ridgway. You will be surprised at how open things feel in this Valley. The town is full of incredible restaurants and close to all of the restaurants in Ouray. Join us at the Mountain View Cabin for your next stay in the area.

Absolutely beautiful cabin and a very nice host. Be sure to follow his suggestion on where to eat. We saw bears, deer, a fox, and lots of birds from the front porch and you have a million dollar view of the mountains.

This is the third consecutive year we’ve stayed with Mark and Sai to go climbing in the area. Obviously, we loved it the first time and every year they make additional luxurious improvements. Mark and Sai are right there, available and lovely people. We love the property and the location is perfect - off the beaten path but easily accessible to whatever you need. We are already looking forward to returning next year.

Just wonderful

Perfect sums it up. Great location - Ridgway was a lovely little town that was in a great location. Easy day trips in Ouray and Telluride. Could have done Silverton & Durango but instead made stops when we left. On the way stopped in Montrose for groceries & dinner after spending the day at Black Canyon. Did a Jeep tour out of Ouray that was great! Favorite spot was Sliver Jack lake - about 1.25 hours up the mountain right beside Mark’s place. Mark & Sai were wonderful - really enjoyed meeting them. The cabin is perfect - very comfortable & they’ve thought of everything. Appliances are lovely, kitchen is well stocked, washer/dryer, comfy beds. Would highly recommend & would love to visit again!

Mountains everywhere!

It was mesmerizing waking in the loft and looking out at the mountains in the morning. The San Juans are my favorite mountains in Colorado. This place was perfect. Easy access to Ouray and Telluride, with nice food and coffee in Ridgway. Just a chill and relaxed time — I love it.

Must stay!

We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was here. The host was responsive and the home was so beautiful. This is a great place to stay for all seasons. We stayed in August where we went jeeping and did day trips to Silverton and Ouray. And we did plenty of porch sitting.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Kirk

Host profile image
I have owned and managed rental properties of all kinds for 30 years. Managing this short term rental cabin has been a dream come true for Sai and I. We love the interactions with the clients and enjoy them being overwhelmed by the spectacular views of the San Juan and Cimmeron Mountains from inside the cabin and the beautiful westerly views of the Horsefly mountain range from outside the cabin. We love the wildlife right in our front yard and love walking to town from our location.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. As described above, the views are stunning and has excellent proximatey to the town of Ridgway, Telluride, Quray, the million dollar Highway and so much more. As a retired General Contractor, I immediately began renewing the entire cabin. I am about half way there, but plan to finish with a five star unit. Email us at: mark@markkirk.com and I will be glad to answer all of your questions or call/text to 970-729-2648.
