About this house rental
Arrowhead Ranch is a wonderful area and part of the San Juan Mountains. The turn off to Arrowhead is half way between Gunnison and Montrose on Highway 50. You will have access to multiple day trips including: Ouray, Telluride, Lake City, Ridgeway, Silverton, Wine country and orchards toward Palisade, Black Canyon, Marrow Boat Tours in the canyon and Blue Mesa Lake. One of our favorite spots is Big Blue Campground south of Arrowhead, this location has a great campground with beaver ponds and the Big Blue River for fishing. Arrowhead is a great location for those interested in hiking, biking, four-wheeling, fishing, watching wildlife and relaxing!
The A-frame will give you all you need to unwind and recharge. The large deck allows you to enjoy the beautiful relaxing outdoors. Many sightings of wildlife are possible if you are quiet! We enjoy the deer most every morning and evening as we watch out the dining room windows. Early in the summer we often watch the baby fawns follow their mothers as they walk by the cabin. They are often playful and fun to watch. At certain times of the year you can see elk but you can always hear them in the fall. Many birds from turkeys to grouse visit along with the humming birds. Occasionally a snow shoe rabbit or red fox with slip by. Rarely we see a bear.
Views on the deck are great down the valley. You can also relax and enjoy a good book on the quiet deck. Grill that perfect steak with your favorite wine on the deck for a perfect evening after a fun filled day! Sunsets on the deck following dinner are the best. Smores over the fire pit are also a good way to spend your evening relaxing after a full day of the outdoors.
We enjoy the Arrowhead Mountain Lodge for the outdoor entertainment they have most weekends and the restaurant which is very good. If you are a fisherman there are lakes available to Arrowhead residents to fish without a license. Hazel Lake is just across the road from the cabin and a great hike. This is another great spot to enjoy the wildlife. You can safely hike or bike the many miles of roads around Arrowhead and there are several trails available.
This get-away from "life" is the best way to recharge with the fresh mountain air. We enjoy the spring each year but fall is special with all the wonderful colors! Come and Enjoy!
