Nice cabin in a beautiful area. My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The cabin was very clean, and the property manager's communication was excellent. We stayed there during August. The weather was warm, but it was comfortable during the day at the cabin with the breeze. However, we couldn't keep the windows open at night due to the cabin rules and bear concerns, which made sleeping a little challenging because of the warmth.

L.E. I'm sorry you misinterpreted the rules about the windows. I simply asked that you do not leave the windows open when you're not at the cabin. Leaving them open all night is fine. Glad you enjoyed your stay.

Family Trip to Ridgway

Had a wonderful time in this cabin with exceptional views to wake up to each morning and enjoy each evening. Easy access to Ouray, Ridgway, and only an hour from Telluride or Montrose/Black Canyon of the Gunnison, would gladly stay here again.

thank you, Linda for your review. I really appreciate it. it’s great having a family like you and yours that make hosting a pleasure. Hope to have you back again soon. On another note I gave you five stars on everything. I’m not sure how you got four stars on communication but I hit five stars not the first time that happened this year, thanks again

Incredible accommodations. We loved the cabin and it was extremely private from other houses and cozy. If you’re booking with a large crowd, be aware that there’s not a lot of privacy inside the cabin and sound carries. However, the experience was incredible and the star-gazing on the patio was awesome.

Mountain Hiking Retreat

This beautiful cabin was the perfect base camp for our hiking adventures in the San Juan mountains. An easy day trip to Telluride, the Million Dollar Highway, and Ouray. We loved eating our dinner on the porch and watching the hummingbirds after long days of hiking. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the mountain views were beautiful.

Great overall

Overall, great stay! The wraparound porch was a big winner for me and those silly hummingbirds :-). The only issue we had was the cleaning service was there when we arrived and the towels were still musty so we needed to rewash them. Communication with the owner was great.

Stunning views

The cabin was in the perfect location for us to take day trips and come back to a nice relaxing view. Watching the hummingbirds was amazing! The downstairs bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The only complaint comes from my boyfriend and that is the shower is small for a tall guy. Other than that we loved our stay at bear claw cabin.

Family Vacation

This was our family vacation and first time in Ouray! The cabin was great with views vast and beautiful! It was easy to access and Kim was awesome and detailed. Great communication back and forth. The hike around perimeter trail was great. We brought our ATV's and headed out to Yankee boy basin. The ride was peaceful and scenery was gorgeous. We hit the hot springs for a few hours and relaxed. We enjoyed the cabin with morning coffee, views and the hummingbirds. We managed to get iver to Ridgway reservoir, caught some fish and the girls were able to cool off in it as well. We will be going back and hopefully rent the the cabin again if it's not booked!

Wonderful property

Everything was perfect. The first thing my wife said when we walked in was, “I want to buy this cabin”. The last thing she said when we left was, “I don’t want to leave”. I can’t think of anything that would have made the stay more perfect. Thanks Kim.

Beautiful beyond word's!

The communication wit MR. Dobson was excellent throughout our whole experience. Their cabin was spotless! It had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. Very comfortable, and decorated nicely( love the logs throughout the cabin). Very private and quiet. Breathtaking views from within the cabin, as well as outside, especially on the deck that overhangs!! This cabin would be exactly what we're looking for, if we we're buying!! Thanks Dobsons, for a memorable stay. 😀

Inspiring and comfortable log cabin

Amazing views both from inside the cabin and from the deck. There main room with cathedral ceilings is also a terrific space. The cabin was cozy during a surprise winter snow storm. One feature to keep in mind is that every sound can be heard everywhere in the cabin. Light sleepers take note.
