About this property

Mountain View Cabin

You know, I came to this area for over twenty years before I finally purchased and retired here. I spent twelve years travelling in the Music business and have traveled all over the world. There are very few places in the world like Ridgway. I am amazed at the continuing outdoor activity that never seems to stop. It just transitions from winter activities, skiing, cross country ski, ice climbing, snowmobiles, snow boarding and on and on. Then we transition in to Spring and all that goes with it, from Mountain Climbing, Hiking, Jeep Trails to die for, Fishing, Boating, Motorcycling and on and on. The beauty that surrounds this little community is surreal. When I purchased this perfectly located property it had This beautiful log home rental with spectacular views of the Cimarron and the San Juan Mountains. The cabin is now a fully furnished mountain retreat with everything you will need for a comfortable, affordable stay. Private road with lots of wildlife. Beautiful old Cottonwood trees with an old tire swing. A creek runs through the pasture keeping the grass lush and green. Enjoy the panoramic mountain views. Far enough away from civilization, yet walking distance to town! Located on a farm with lots of wildlife. Only 26 miles from the nearest airport. 2 miles to the famous Ouray Hot springs. 9 miles to Ouray, an easy drive to the Ice Climbing Park off of Camp Bird Mine Rd. and Imogene Pass, renowned for Jeeping and 4x4s. 35 Miles from the Ski Lifts in Telluride. If you think you like staying in Telluride, then you should try this very special Gem in Ridgway. You will be surprised at how open things feel in this Valley. The town is full of incredible restaurants and close to all of the restaurants in Ouray. Join us at the Mountain View Cabin for your next stay in the area.

Mountains everywhere!
It was mesmerizing waking in the loft and looking out at the mountains in the morning. The San Juans are my favorite mountains in Colorado. This place was perfect. Easy access to Ouray and Telluride, with nice food and coffee in Ridgway. Just a chill and relaxed time — I love it.

Picturesque Cabin and Exceptional Host
We will be back!! Myself and 3 friends stayed here for one night during a cross country motorcycle trip. It’s the first place we’ve stayed that was hard to leave :) We would have loved to stay another few days just to take in more of the surrounding sites. I just can’t say enough about how wonderful it was. We plan to make it an annual visit.

Must stay!
We cannot say enough about how wonderful our stay was here. The host was responsive and the home was so beautiful. This is a great place to stay for all seasons. We stayed in August where we went jeeping and did day trips to Silverton and Ouray. And we did plenty of porch sitting.

Great cabin in a great location
Our stay in this cabin was prefect. The cabin is very close drive to all the fun in Ouray, but also very convenient to good grub in Ridgway. The peacefulness and beauty from the porch was much enjoyed. Watching the storms, sunsets, sunrises, horses, cows, bald Eagle, etc. made for a great show. Highly recommend this lodging.

Return visit to Ridgway
My friends and I came back after staying here last year. Mark and his wife are wonderful hosts and completely available and engaging. He clearly spends a lot of time and effort on not only maintaining but improving this property. Since last year, he added a beautiful fire pit with wonderful furniture and a great patio for outdoor dining. My only hesitation in leaving this review is I want it to be available for us again next year!

What a beautiful warm cabin
This is a beautiful warm cabin.It was close to town and paths but great to lookout at the wild life and mountains as I read near the flame of the wood pellet stove. The hosts were friendly and helpful.They live next store but the cabin is private. There's a wonderful patio with grill to enjoy in warmer weather. A last minute find that I will return to.

Lovely Colorado Cabin
This place has become a must on our anniversary! Our second time staying here to celebrate 17 years of being married and we could not have been more pleased. Mark and Sai take excellent care of this property and there have been several new additions since our last visit. They added a wonderful outdoor eating space-fully equipped with a grill and outdoor seating! If you are looking for a quiet, beautiful Colorado getaway then look no further! We cant wait to return.

Ridgeway retreat with gorgeous views
We loved our stay! The log cabin was perfect for our stay in Ridgeway. It was a great home base for travel into Telluride and Ouray too. The beds were super comfy and our group loved relaxing on the porch each day to admire the beautiful view. Mark was a terrific host - flexible, helpful, kind and easy to contact. Thank you!

A truly lovely log cabin
If you like Ridgway and cabins, this is the place. We have been visiting Ridgeway for over 30 years and the cabin is truly the best located. We had never stayed in a log cabin before and found it very well built and comfortable. Mark the manager was terrific from the moment we arrived. Cabin was well appointed in all respects. Would recommend this cabin for family or small group. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Cabin Stay!!
We had a great stay at the cabin just outside of Ridgeway. Great country feel and minutes to town. Great roomy Cabin. Excellent hosts. Checkin process very smooth. The location with killer views of the big mountain and laid back feel of Ridgeway was perfect for our family. We have an 8 month old and the host even had a crib set up and ready for us!! Would love to come back and stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Mark Kirk

Host profile image
I have owned and managed rental properties of all kinds for 30 years. Managing this short term rental cabin has been a dream come true for Sai and I. We love the interactions with the clients and enjoy them being overwhelmed by the spectacular views of the San Juan and Cimmeron Mountains from inside the cabin and the beautiful westerly views of the Horsefly mountain range from outside the cabin. We love the wildlife right in our front yard and love walking to town from our location.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location. As described above, the views are stunning and has excellent proximatey to the town of Ridgway, Telluride, Quray, the million dollar Highway and so much more. As a retired General Contractor, I immediately began renewing the entire cabin. I am about half way there, but plan to finish with a five star unit. Email us at: mark@markkirk.com and I will be glad to answer all of your questions or call/text to 970-729-2648.
