My dog Jasper and I spent a week at this rustic but upscale cozy guest house just on the outskirts of Ridgway. Communication with Randal, the owner, both before our trip and during our stay could not have been better. He was on top of everything from the start and was as hands-on as needed. He also gave us our privacy when we didnât need him, which was also much appreciated. This is a gem of a place surrounded by tall Ponderosa pines and Aspens with occasional deer and elk making their appearance. Randal and Debbie were gracious to let us roam their expansive acreage and I was careful to keep Jasper on a leash most of the time when deer were around. The cottage itself is perfect, but the real attraction is the connection with Randal and Debbie, who made me feel welcome and safe. Randal has a lifetime of stories to share and you will not regret taking the time to listen. He is a true treasure. I did not meet his wife, Debbie, but her presence is felt everywhere. I hated to leave, thank you to both of them for a wonderful week.
Quiet, well appointed, and spacious home ideal for a working vacation. Gorgeous grounds and views. Dog loved it, too! Randal was warm and accommodating, and his updates on area road closures saved me hours of time and energy. Genuine, fine hospitality. I recommend staying here.
My wife and I had a wonderful time and our stay could not have been any better! Great location with an amazing view. The hosts went above and beyond and obviously care a great deal about their guests!
R Bar D Ranch was stunning where we had an experience like no other! Beautiful scenery and quiet, serene surroundings. Saw deer just about everyday. The cabin was just as it was explained in the rental summary and then some. Enjoyed walking our dog around the property. Randal was very communicative and it was a pleasure getting to know. Enjoyed his company and learning about the history of his property. We highly recommend this property and canât wait to visit again!
We were so excited to find this property - the R Bar D Ranch cabin is wonderful- spacious, well equipped & comfortable with a beautiful back deck to take in the stunning view of the San Juan mountains and Mt. Sneffels. The deer are regular visitors & we enjoyed seeing them daily. Randal is the most welcoming and attentive host! It was a perfect base camp for us to play golf, hike, and visit Ridgway, Ouray and Telluride. I canât wait to return. Many thanks to our hosts!
My husband and I stayed for a week for our anniversary. We had an amazing time. It was exactly as described in the listing.We could not have been happier with our stay. Property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. Randall was great at checking in, and always available if needed. There was so much to do there. We felled so welcomed. We will definitely be back.
We loved every minute of our visit to the Ranch Guest House! The house is charming, well furnished and comfortable! The location was perfect for hiking, fishing and exploring the towns of Ridgeway, Ouray and Telluride. The owner Randal was so helpful and friendly and made our stay one that we will remember forever!
We loved everything about this place. The beautiful setting, seeing the stars we canât see in the city, the nicely decorated cabin which is very well maintained and comfortable. The views around the cabin were gorgeous - mountains in the distance and open fields. There was plenty of space for us - a real treat. The location was perfect for going to Ouray, Telluride, Montrose, and of course into Ridgway. The bedroom was spacious and the bed was very comfortable - I appreciated having two pillow choices, one thicker, one thinner. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need for cooking, coffee, etc. Comfortable seating around the table, which is where we spent most of our time. The host, Randal, was very thoughtful and helpful for anything we needed and had great advice and ideas for places to go see - really appreciated his ideas! We will definitely plan to stay here again someday.
This guest house, surrounded by some of Coloradoâs best scenery, was itself beautiful, spacious, well appointed, and extremely comfortable. The host, Randal, has superbly thought out the needs of guests, and is quickly responsive to any questions. And if you would like suggestions on what to see or do in this gorgeous area, he has impeccable recommendations that will generate fond memories.
Beautiful property with a nice mix of tradition (Western Mountain) and modern (facilities). We enjoyed fishing the mountain streams, walking the property and chatting with our accessible and everready host, Randall. Itâs a beautiful place with great ambience and style.
If you're looking for a quiet place to explore the San Juans, this is an incredible option. Perfectly appointed cabin on a ranch with tons of space. About a 10-minute drive down to Ridgway. The host, Randal, is super welcoming and available to answer any questions. Really a great place to stay in SW Colorado.
I canât say enough good things about this property. My wife and I had such a wonderful stay.
First off, the property was just as advertised and was immaculately clean and ready for us upon arrival. The owner/property manager had coordinated everything with us in advance, so everything went very smoothly.
The cabin is well-located just a short (~10 minute drive) outside of Ridgway. Deer roam the property and can be seen right off the back deck and through the windows, which is a special treat for nature lovers. There is great birding opportunities on the property as well. Just a short walk from the property are some great, well-maintained hiking trails, including a trail that runs along the top of the escarpment on the southern end of Log Hill Mesa and overlooks the town of Ridgway and the valley all the way south to Quray - a spectacular view. The towering San Juan mountain range dominates the view off the back deck of the cabin. This is really a special place.
My wife and I used the cabin as a base of operations and planned daily trips from there to Telluride (about an hour away), Quray about (30 minutes away), and the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Natâl Park (about 45 minutes away). We also had a great day on a guided fly fishing excursion using RIGS (a fly fishing guide service in Ridgway). The cabin is a great location to sample the best of the area in every direction.
The cabin is spacious, comfortable and quiet. It is also well-equipped; kitchen and all!
Wonderful property that takes you back in time but with modern amenities and great cell/internet service. Majestic views of multiple 14ers off the deck. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, and peaceful place with cool clean air, this is the place for you. Randal is a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. We look forward to coming back soon!
I recently had the pleasure of staying in this house for my vacation, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Randal is incredibly accommodating and responsive, making the entire stay seamless and enjoyable. The house was spacious, clean, well-appointed, and provided all the comforts of home. The location was perfect, offering easy commute to Telluride and Ouray, while maintaining a very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
What a wonderful place. The cabin was charming. The view of the San Juan mountains and the sunsets were spectacular. It was such a restful place and so quiet. We needed a recharge and it fit the bill. Randal was so delightful - great communicator, very knowledgeable about the area, and such a nice person. We enjoyed our conversations with him. We hope to come back.
We highly recommend this beautiful property. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will likely be back. The house is a great Colorado mountain retreat and the location could not be better. The views from the property are simply stunning; Ouray, Telluride and Silverton are a short ride away so the scenery is just gorgeous. The host, Randal, was there to greet us and show us how everything worked, he was always available for questions. We cannot thank him enough for his hospitality. We have been to the area many times, but this was definitely our best stay.
On top of this stay being a dream come true with breathtaking sights Randall was everything you would hope for in a host. I would highly recommend staying at this site.
My mom and I made a somewhat impromptu trip to Ridgway to visit some sights in the area. It was a short trip but I was lucky enough to land on this gem of a property. Randal is a wonderful host and made sure everything was just right in our place and that we had plenty of information regarding local restaurants, places to visit, and even made sure we knew we could roam the expansive property as much as we wanted. We had a wonderful stay and couldn't have wished for a better place to land after a long drive from Denver and exploring the area during our stay. I highly recommend!
Nestled in the Log Hill community, lies the picturesque R-Bar-D Ranch, with breathtaking views of Mt. Sneffels and the San Juan Mountain range. The guest cabin encompasses the true feeling of luxury mountain living with exceptional, warm hospitality. Waking up to the stunning mountain range, the smell of pine and deer meandering nearby creates the ultimate log cabin experience in the heart of Colorado. We are looking forward to our next stay within the following months.
Located about 10 minutes outside of Ridgway, the house is beautiful and has everything you need. Great location for day trips to Telluride, Ouray/Silverton and the Black Canyon. Loved the back deck and the outdoor seating. The owners were wonderful, helpful and responsive. 100% recommend and would definitely stay here again!
We came to the area to hike and take in the beauty of the area and we were not disappointed. This property location was perfect for us to enjoy these areas.
This is an outstanding property! Randall is well acquainted with the area and was so helpful.
We hope to return some day.
Experienced travelers read property reviews to match a property to their needs. We have successfully used VRBOs all over the world valuing reviews we all write. In over 10 yrs we have never stayed where all our needs have been met. Here where we had an almost 2 week stay we found : comfort, a safe and quiet environment, cleanliness, high end amenities, interesting artwork, well equipped kitchen, lovely mountain views, hiking and shopping within minutesâ drive, and a caring, available, non-intrusive owner. Would we return, yes, on a moments notice. Donât pass on this property. Side note: Your family dog will give a huge tail wag!
This was by far one of the best vacation homes we have stayed at. The well-maintained, luxury cabin and property far exceeded our expectations and Randal was an excellent informative host.
We would highly recommend this idyllic property to anyone staying in the area.
We stayed for two weeks and loved every minute. Randal was accommodating, a great host but didnât hover. The location of the property was quiet, the property was clean and an exceptional get away!!! We will stay here again when in the area.
