About this cabin rental

The space

Curl up under a blanket by the wood stove after an adventurous day out in the mountains. This cabin is across the road from our working ranch. Yes, in the distance we have roosters that crow, cows that moo and livestock guardian dogs that bark. We don't hear them, but probably because they are the soothing sounds of the ranch to us. Some nights are louder than others. If you are a light sleeper you may hear farm noises at night. There are no city noises here, so you may also here the sounds of other local wildlife. It's the real deal here. There is also no light pollution so on a clear night you can even see the Milky Way! There is a master bedroom located on the main floor with a queen bed. The upstairs loft includes one queen bed and one twin bed. Comfy mattresses by Endy. The loft is accessible by ladder and is a great place for kids to have their own space or additional adults. A portable crib is available on request. USB chargers are located near all beds and other locations in the cabin. The main floor has a well equipped kitchen including a full size oven and fridge. A French Press and coffee and tea with real cream is included. There is no dishwasher or microwave. As we are encouraging people to come and getaway from the usual distractions of life, we have specifically opted not to include Wi-Fi. In lieu of Wi-Fi we have included board and card games. A Bose bluetooth speaker sytem is in the cabin. From construction to operation this cabin has been sustainably and eco-friendly built. Toilets consume an astonishing amount of water, so to preserve our environment we have chosen to use composting toilet technology. The compost ends up back out on our pastures. A ceiling fan is installed in the cabin but there is no air conditioning. This cabin is your base for backcountry skiing, downhill skiing, dog sledding, mountain biking, hiking, snowmobiling, climbing, whitewater rafting, paragliding, horseback riding and many more adventures!
* Our intent is provide ski trails and hiking trails on the ranch in the future. Currently we are not set up to do so. At this time until we have better ranch fencing, we cannot accept pets as interactions with our ranch animals from visiting pets is not a good scenario for anyone. Thanks for understanding *

BEARS:
We live in a bear country.
Both black and grizzly bears come through the property. Grizzly's sometimes pass here in mid-May to eat the dandelions. There has never been a problem with bears in our property. For safety, do not leave food or garbage outside that attracts bears.
Make noise and walk outside in group of 2 or more.
If you find yourself close to a grizzly or black bear slowly back away. Having a bear spray also comes in handy.
Bears are wild and beautiful part of life here in our valley. It is extremely rare that anyone in the valley is threatened or harmed by a bear.

ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I accept all the dangers and risks inherent in outdoor activities including but not limited to the hazards presented by changeable weather, wild animals, and the possibility of becoming lost in the forest.

Had just an amazing time exploring everything around Golden and the national parks. We could not have asked for a better home base to come back to every night.

We stayed in this cabin for a week and used it as our "base camp" to explore Golden and the surrounding National Parks. The cabin is lovely and the hosts were very attentive . We would defintively stay there again.

A lovely, secluded mountain cabin. The perfect stay for our family of 5. The children loved sitting around the outdoor fire. The cabin was perfectly appointed and clean. Thank you for sharing this special place with us.

Property is beautifully maintained and amazingly crafted log cabin. The mountain view for our particular cabin was only in the front and not off the back as we initially thought when booked, this was disappointing, however still beautiful. If you are nervous of dogs be aware of three very large lap dogs that may and come visit. Don’t be scared by their bear collars as they are for their protection i am assuming. The cabin location to numerous fishing spots, park and access to FSR roads is excellent . If you are interested in exploring the rivers, lakes and mountains in a place that is quiet and off the beaten path, this is where to go.

We had an great time at this remote cabin. Very clean and it provided everything we needed. The hosts answered our questions before the trip promptly and friendly. The woodstove was very easy to use and added greatly to the atmosphere. We will be booking this place again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Bison cabin. It was a perfect hideaway during our ski trip and accommodated our family of 4 perfectly. The one thing I would suggest is one more chair in the living room area.

This is a great little property that’s only a short drive outside of Golden. It was quiet, clean and comfortable for our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids). The kids loved having their own space in the loft and we used the fireplace daily to help keep warm and create a relaxing ambiance. We were originally booked to stay in town but pivoted when we saw this was available. Boy were we happy with our decision and there’s a good chance we’ll be back! Thank you Chad and Evie for looking after us and sharing this little gem.
