Beautiful home and property! The property manager was super sweet and helpful. Barney the cat was loved by all. Plenty of room and very secluded. If you want to get away and relax, THIS is the place!
10 out of 10 view of the San Juan mountains from the front patio! Awesome location thatâs right between Ridgway and Montrose puts you close to everything thatâs awesome about this area. This place was very comfortable for our family of 9 including small children. We had days in the low 90âs in July but the house was never hot inside and the morning and evening temps were fantastic - so donât let no A/C scare you away, you wonât need it. We spent most of our days on the front patio area - Itâs amazing. The owner was very accommodating and helpful when needed. Book it! You wonât regret it!
This was our first experience with VRBO and it was wonderful. The house is perfect! Well-appointed and decorated, and spotless. The views are amazing. Itâs an easy driving distance to both Ridgway and the Montrose airport; Telluride is less than an hour away. Enough property that people can take hiking trails just by walking out the front door. A special treat is Barney the cat, who we loved spending time with and is very affectionate. We had 6 adults staying there and we had plenty of space. The property manager was very responsive. Highly recommend!
Our Family has been coming to the Ouray area for the past 10 years renting different properties and we all think this pushes the number one spot. Clean and well stocked everything we needed was there. Great views and secluded. And yes don't forget about Barney the friendly Cat.
Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The views from the house were amazing. We spent some great family time on the back porch around the fire and dinner outside. We enjoyed walking around the property and Barney the cat was very friendly. Watching the deer in the morning was a plus. We all had a fantastic time and the kids loved Pip (the goat) also.
We enjoyed the charming country home. The facilities were clean and well maintained. We enjoyed the view solitude and exceptional view if Milky Way at night.
This was our 2nd time staying at thise property. We chose it for this trip because the first time was excellent.
The views are amazing, the outdoor space is amazing and the house has such charm.
Communication was great and we had another excellent week in Ridgway at this home.
Wonderful place - private, homey, incredible view.
From privacy to layout to deer and turkey in the back yard ... hiking, sledding, proximity to town--it was perfect. Thank you! Wonderful spot. So great to have stayed for many 180 degree sunrise-sunsets over the San Juans.
Beautiful mountain views from the porch as well as the road to the house! Convenient location and short scenic drives to the surrounding towns. We loved the animals, especially Barney!
This is a fantastic cabin property. The outside space, deck and views are amazing! Everything we needed for our family get-together. Quiet and yet close enough to explore the area attractions. Only thing that would make it better is when they get the hot tub going!
Great experience. I canât recommend Nikki and her place enough. Nikki is a great host, who truly cares about her guests stay. The place is exactly as described (perhaps better) and was a perfect blend of mountain rustic and modern convenience; and, is in a great spot to serve as a launching point for adventures (close to Ouray, Telluride, hot springs, etc).
You can just stop looking! This is a wonderful house with the best views ever, lots of character and charm, well equipped and close to a multitude of outdoor activities. This place even comes with a petting zoo (with assistance from the property manager of course). Book this one while you can!
Words cannot describe the serenity that surrounds this lovely cabin!! The views are breathtaking, the cabin is super cozy and easy to access, the animals are adorable. Barney the cat greeted us upon arrival and is very friendly. The cabin has all the essentials in the bathrooms and kitchen. It was the perfect place for my pup to explore. Easy drive to Montrose, Ouray, and Telluride. Will 100% be staying here again!!
We had a wonderful stay at Chimney Top Acres. Nikki met us at the property and gave us a tour of the house and grounds. Friendly, courteous, and down-to-earth are understatements - we immediately felt at home and ease. The house is beautiful and spacious, the grounds are exactly what you want if you are looking for a Colorado escape. My 9 year old fell completely in love with the farm animals and the whole family enjoyed walking and biking the trails. Lots of birds, deer, and chipmunks.
We will for sure be coming back again!
We absolutely loved our stay in this charming little Chalet. I did not want to leave and wish we could live there. The views were spectacular, it was a cozy cabin with everything we needed. It was the perfect location and set up for our group. We were in the area visiting our daughter and grandchildren. This home made for the perfect location for our little family to have dinner and play table games together. We loved seeing wildlife each evening and the local cat was quite the companion.
Nikki was quick to respond with answers to any questions I had. We definitely hope to come back in the future and would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking to visit the area. I fell in love with it.
Immaculate property, everything thing you need is on site. In all of our years of traveling, I donât think weâve ever had such a spectacular view in all direction. Simply breath taking. I almost didnât see the need to leave at all, just a book and a glass of wine while enjoying the mountains.
We were able to bring our dogs which was greatly appreciated, they travel everywhere with us. The corgi was a little mad most of the time because the barn cat sat in my lap more than he did and both dogs enjoyed the cat walking with us every morning
We loved our stay. The house is comfortable, and the location is amazing. The pictures of the views don't do it justice--the mountains all around are stunning. We ate dinner outside every night, accompanied by the extremely affectionate barn cat, Barney. My daughter adored her bunk-bed cave in the basement. And there is so much to do in the area! Beautiful hikes (don't miss the Blue Lakes!), horseback riding (we recommend Baker's Ranch), paddleboarding in Ridgeway State Park, and a short drive to Telluride (where we took an RV tour into even higher elevations). It was extremely hot while we were there, but the basement stayed cool and the house cooled down at night. Oh, and you can ask the host to turn off the outdoor lights at night for the most incredible stargazing ever!
The cabin and property were beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The barn cat on the property was a great hunter and we enjoyed having Barney the barn cat to greet us when we arrived at the property. Nikki was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing that I would change about the cabin is the addition of air-conditioning... The cabin got very hot during the day and took a long time to cool off in the evening. The master bedroom window wouldn't open so it was very stuffy in that room. But we made due with the fans that were provided to stay cool during our stay. This would not deter us from staying again. We very much enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.
The location was perfect for our purposes and the view is spectacular. HoweverâŠâŠâŠthere was trash scattered on the ground when we arrived. The wood box was also stuffed with trash from a previous occupant. We picked up the trash and the manager(?) came and took the cans. But did not empty the wood box. In fact she wondered if we put it there. After being there for an hour. We finally removed it ourselves after the house began to smell. The fire pit pictured in the listing had been removed and the propane was empty so we had to grill at another property in our group. The kitchen is completely disorganized and if there are measuring cups, we couldnât find them. There windows are either stuck or if they do open, there are are no screens. Makes it difficult to cool the house. And then thereâs the cat. Nice enough unless you run out of food for it. All in all we had a wonderful week. But next time weâll look more carefully at the property we choose. You may want to do the same if your considering this property.
Hi y'all! My husband and I purchased Chimney Top Acres in April of 2019. The house underwent a complete renovation in 2019 as my family and I resided in the basement. We ran a very successful B&B until June of 2021 at which time we sold the property to a lovely couple, Mike & Amy, from TX. We are now renting the property exclusively as a vacation rental. My husband and I built a home on the adjoining 35-acre parcel. I serve as property manager for the new owners. We have a few goats and a barn cat on site at the barn. I frequent the barn a few times per day to check on them!
This property is truly magical. We searched near and far and have been blow away by what this property has to offer. The views are AMAZING!!! We have no light pollution therefore star gazing is optimal. The main house deck and Alpenglow guest room balcony face the West. You will enjoy spectacular sun sets as well from the Edelweiss room.
