This beautiful cabin was the perfect base camp for our hiking adventures in the San Juan mountains. An easy day trip to Telluride, the Million Dollar Highway, and Ouray. We loved eating our dinner on the porch and watching the hummingbirds after long days of hiking. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the mountain views were beautiful.

Overall, great stay! The wraparound porch was a big winner for me and those silly hummingbirds :-). The only issue we had was the cleaning service was there when we arrived and the towels were still musty so we needed to rewash them. Communication with the owner was great.

Had a wonderful time in this cabin with exceptional views to wake up to each morning and enjoy each evening. Easy access to Ouray, Ridgway, and only an hour from Telluride or Montrose/Black Canyon of the Gunnison, would gladly stay here again.

This was our family vacation and first time in Ouray! The cabin was great with views vast and beautiful! It was easy to access and Kim was awesome and detailed. Great communication back and forth. The hike around perimeter trail was great. We brought our ATV's and headed out to Yankee boy basin. The ride was peaceful and scenery was gorgeous. We hit the hot springs for a few hours and relaxed. We enjoyed the cabin with morning coffee, views and the hummingbirds. We managed to get iver to Ridgway reservoir, caught some fish and the girls were able to cool off in it as well. We will be going back and hopefully rent the the cabin again if it's not booked!

Everything was perfect. The first thing my wife said when we walked in was, “I want to buy this cabin”. The last thing she said when we left was, “I don’t want to leave”. I can’t think of anything that would have made the stay more perfect. Thanks Kim.

Simply stunning cabin in the hills above Ouray. Very clean and well equipped. Everything you need to enjoy the mountains yet still a short drive to Ouray.

10.0 / 10.0

The cabin was in the perfect location for us to take day trips and come back to a nice relaxing view. Watching the hummingbirds was amazing! The downstairs bed was the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. The only complaint comes from my boyfriend and that is the shower is small for a tall guy. Other than that we loved our stay at bear claw cabin.

The communication wit MR. Dobson was excellent throughout our whole experience. Their cabin was spotless! It had everything we needed for our 6 night stay. Very comfortable, and decorated nicely( love the logs throughout the cabin). Very private and quiet. Breathtaking views from within the cabin, as well as outside, especially on the deck that overhangs!! This cabin would be exactly what we're looking for, if we we're buying!! Thanks Dobsons, for a memorable stay. 😀

Inspiring and comfortable log cabin

Inspiring and comfortable log cabin

Amazing views both from inside the cabin and from the deck. There main room with cathedral ceilings is also a terrific space. The cabin was cozy during a surprise winter snow storm. One feature to keep in mind is that every sound can be heard everywhere in the cabin. Light sleepers take note.

We loved our four night stay at the cabin. We enjoyed the easy access to Ouray while still having the peace and calm of the mountain cabin. We absolutely loved the deck!!! In addition, the owner was amazing to work with and very responsive. My son’s wedding was beautiful, the cabin was relaxing and the mountains were breathtaking...we are already planning a trip for next year!!

Beautiful location and views, very nice cabin that could be improved with a much larger bath and shower. Also needs a washer AND a dryer instead of a combo unit that we were never able to get clothes dry in. Also, with three beds in the loft and just one downstairs, a stairway to the loft instead of a ladder would be a big improvement. Otherwise, a great cabin.

Perfect Vacation...

Perfect Vacation...

We loved staying at this property. It was exactly what we were looking for...peaceful, cozy, near many activities (but not too close!) sleeping in the upstairs loft reminded me of summer camp when I was a kid. We had beautiful weather during the 5 days we were here and we enjoyed the outdoor deck every day....coffee in the AM and wine in the PM. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return.

Log Cabin with Great Views

Log Cabin with Great Views

This was a wonderful mountainside cabin with nice views of the valley, a waterfall across the valley, and of the mountains. The cabin was clean and cozy. The location was great for getting to Ouray and Ridgway. Telluride was within a reasonable drive. It was convenient to head to town for a meal. While close to town it remote enough to enjoy nature and privacy and the kitchen was more than capable for preparing meals when we wanted to stay in. We enjoyed watching the hummingbirds at the feeder and seeing a beautifully brilliant rainbow that ended just below the cabin in the valley. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Location, location, location!

Location, location, location!

The property has tremendous views overlooking the valley and to the mountains surrounding Ouray and to the northerly mountains. The property is secluded but within easy reach of Ouray and Ridgeway, both of which are quaint, quiet towns. We also accessed the Black Canyon NP which was about 1.5 hours away. That was exceptional. The host was really helpful re the booking and with providing information which help me decide to travel Hwy 550 from Durango. I’m glad I did! The house is comfortable and has everything provided. Overall, a memorable experience

Absolutely, Amazing!

Absolutely, Amazing!

We come to Ouray every year and this was by far the BEST place we have ever stayed. Outside of the spectacular views, the cabin is; quaint, welcoming, accomodating, just secluded enough, roomy, clean, has lots of charm, and was so comforting to come home to after a long day of hiking and jeeping. Kim & Deb are very welcoming and so easy to contact; we cannot wait to come back next year, Thank You!

Just what a cabin in the mountains should be!

Just what a cabin in the mountains should be!

The setting was perfect. Close enough to Ouray and Ridgway to be convenient but you feel like you are far from civilization at the cabin. We saw chipmunks, rabbits, squirrels, an army of hummingbirds, mule deer and one very mischievous black bear (he tried to get into the trash cart one night and another night we watched him clumsily picking berries from the trees along the driveway!) Only complaint is not relevant for everyone...we are a very tall family so the shower was cramped for us specifically. Otherwise this cabin was a perfect getaway! The owners are wonderful and checked in on us via text to make sure our stay was great. Would book this place again in a heartbeat!

Great Getaway!

Great Getaway!

Our family makes an annual trip to the Ouray area for our recreational fix. We have stayed in a number of different lodging accommodations in the area and have found the Bear Claw Cabin at Idlewild Estates to be our best experience by far. We thoroughly enjoyed the rustic cabin experience and the daily entertainment of the plentiful wildlife. The cabin was clean and has all the necessary conveniences for a comfortable stay. We highly recommend the Bear Claw Cabin for your next getaway.....we'll be back next year. Wes & Therese

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

Peaceful Mountain Retreat

This cabin is the real deal! We knew we found a gem the minute we pulled into the drive. So peaceful, quiet and serene, you almost never want to leave to explore the beautiful surroundings in Ridgway and Ouray. Our family of 5 found the cabin to be so accomodating. The kids each got their own comfortable queen bed in the loft that even has its own balcony. Perfect for stargazing. The main floor bedroom was nice for us. The dining table is huge, but you'll hardly need it with the amazing deck and patio furniture. There are spectacular views from every room in the cabin. We had to pinch ourselves every morning while we drank our coffee on the deck, just an incredible property. The only minor inconveniences were no dishwasher, limited microwavable dishware and creaky floor boards, but it did add to the feel of a true log cabin! We also intended to grill, but it was a small charcoal grill (not gas) that couldn't be used because of the local fire ban in place at the time, so check on that before you leave. There is so much to do in the area and Kim was so quick to respond with helpful advice to every question we had. We rented inflatable kayaks and paddleboards, went on a Jeep tour, hiked, went to the awesome Hot Springs pool, took a drive to Telluride and fed the chipmunks at Box Canyon Falls. And we hardly did it all. This is a trip we won't soon forget!
