Ranch Mountain Cabin, Stunning! Campfire, Hiking

The cabin was remote (not for everyone I guess), comfortable, decorated with a charming local style and had an amazing inventory in the kitchen.

Upgrading the beds would be a good idea.

Great location to use as a base to visit many national parks, monuments and site seeing hikes. The host put together a great information binder full of suggested places to visit with great travel directions

Clean, comfortable space with well stocked/labeled kitchen supplies and spacious bathroom. Felt like our own little place to come after a long day of hiking. We wished the cabin could come along to our next destination.

Loft area was a bit tricky to navigate with the low ceiling, but we made it work since the kids slept up there. My husband is tall so he wasn’t able to get up there comfortably. When booking, I didn’t realize all of the extra taxes and fees - maybe I overlooked them, but I think the property did communicate well about them once the reservation was made. I felt a bit nervous about the $300 deposit and sort of felt like I was chasing after anyone who may have dropped a crumb to be sure we got the deposit back. We already paid a $75 fee for cleaning so this felt excessive to me, but I’m sure they have their reasons for including that fee. We did get the security deposit back after checking out. *These are more just things to be aware of rather than “dislikes.”

This review is long over due, i’ve been busy since i’ve gotten back from our weekend here. My family stay at the, Ranch Mountain Cabin. We spent 3 nights here. The area is nice and quiet. Plenty of fresh air. We also glad that we could bring our two huskies along, for an additional charge. They loved the cooler temperatures at night, in July. The cabin was good enough for 5 adults. The loft area was a lot shorter than i thought it would’ve been. It’s about 3 ft high, so we had to crawl around up here.😂😂 which was fine, the area would be great for kids. There was an AC, which seems like it needs to replaced, it just blows out warm air. But that didn’t matter, because during the warm hours, we were outside in the shade. Even in July you just need to open the windows at night to cool the entire cabin down. They did have everything we needed. The hosts did have a booklet of all the house rules. As well as information on the two towns near by. This was my first “house rental” booking and the experience was great! communication with the host was clear and concise. I figured since the host lived in the area we would be checked on, we weren’t. And that was great! that put me at ease. I can’t wait to book this same cabin or one of the others soon.

The place was clean, but not to our standard of clean for a chain. We just clean a bit more, to our liking. The pots and pans are useable, they also need to be replaced, as well.
