Gorgeous Property and Wonderful Host

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.

Beautiful Ridgway Cabin

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!

Western Slope Paradise

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.

Amazing house

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!

About the host

Hosted by Randal Fischer

Both sides of our family are native Coloradans: one set of grandparents, arriving Spring Creek Mesa (30 miles north of Guest House) in 1882 to set up ranch and home; the other set, arriving Front Range in 1904, also to ranch, farm and live. We love Colorado and this SW corner in particular.

Why they chose this property

Both of us have lived and worked around the world - one of us in 80+ countries in the international oil business. We have skied and hiked mountain ranges in numerous countries. We settled in this beautiful southwest area of Colorado because there is no better place for fresh air, clean living, hunting, fishing, skiing, hiking - and just being in some of the world's most beautiful (and entirely uncrowded) mountains.
