A very nice and unique place to stay! The cabin had everything we needed. It was great to see the Elk and long horns that live on the property. We even saw the bison on our last evening here. We did have a issue with flies in and around the property but the host was very responsive to the issue! The property is very close to Black Canyon NP but plan for at least a 20-25 minute drive if going to Montrose for dinner. We really enjoyed our stay!

A wonderful place! We had coffee watching the bison wander by, and walked down to see the elk every evening. The Labrador welcome committee was the best.Amazing stars at night! Super quiet.Was a great home base for the Black Canyon and other west slope sites.I've just returned home and have recommended it to friends.

The ranch was gorgeous!! The property and the house both. Great location for hitting all the nearby areas (Telluride, Ouray, Black Canyon). Would stay here again! And the donkeys were fun to feed grass to, and 2 black dogs that would come visit were the sweetest!

We loved this place. Host was very helpful. Unfortunately, we could only stay 1 night on this trip. Great amenities, but no hottub, as shown on site. Would definitely recommend this space. Very peaceful & away from the crowds!!

Gorgeous property!

We stayed one night with our two kids and really loved this ranch property. The house was clean and comfortable. The property had wide open spaces for kids to play, gorgeous views of the mountains and we got to see elk and buffalo on their farm.

Great Vacation

We stayed in the cabin for 5 days and used it as a base camp to explore the San Juan mountains. We day tripped to Telluride, Ouray, Silverton, and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park. The cabin was very nice and in a perfectly secluded area with a wonderful patio to relax and soak up the mountain air! Highly recommend. We will stay here again!

One of our favorites! Beautiful views!

We loved everything about our stay! We came to visit family and fell in love with Antler Ridge.The house was comfortable and the hosts were very helpful, gracious, and accommodating. We were able to visit Ouray and Telluride as day trips and experience the local parks. We cannot say enough great things about our stay, we highly recommend it. Our kids especially enjoyed the visits from the black lab!
