Wonderful place - private, homey, incredible view.

From privacy to layout to deer and turkey in the back yard ... hiking, sledding, proximity to town--it was perfect. Thank you! Wonderful spot. So great to have stayed for many 180 degree sunrise-sunsets over the San Juans.

Cozy cabin with spectacular views

We absolutely loved our stay in this charming little Chalet. I did not want to leave and wish we could live there. The views were spectacular, it was a cozy cabin with everything we needed. It was the perfect location and set up for our group. We were in the area visiting our daughter and grandchildren. This home made for the perfect location for our little family to have dinner and play table games together. We loved seeing wildlife each evening and the local cat was quite the companion. Nikki was quick to respond with answers to any questions I had. We definitely hope to come back in the future and would highly recommend this chalet to anyone looking to visit the area. I fell in love with it.

Views

Immaculate property, everything thing you need is on site. In all of our years of traveling, I don’t think we’ve ever had such a spectacular view in all direction. Simply breath taking. I almost didn’t see the need to leave at all, just a book and a glass of wine while enjoying the mountains. We were able to bring our dogs which was greatly appreciated, they travel everywhere with us. The corgi was a little mad most of the time because the barn cat sat in my lap more than he did and both dogs enjoyed the cat walking with us every morning

Beautiful mountain escape

The cabin and property were beautiful. Well maintained and clean. The barn cat on the property was a great hunter and we enjoyed having Barney the barn cat to greet us when we arrived at the property. Nikki was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing that I would change about the cabin is the addition of air-conditioning... The cabin got very hot during the day and took a long time to cool off in the evening. The master bedroom window wouldn't open so it was very stuffy in that room. But we made due with the fans that were provided to stay cool during our stay. This would not deter us from staying again. We very much enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Nikki Huskey

Hi y'all! My husband and I purchased Chimney Top Acres in April of 2019. The house underwent a complete renovation in 2019 as my family and I resided in the basement. We ran a very successful B&B until June of 2021 at which time we sold the property to a lovely couple, Mike & Amy, from TX. We are now renting the property exclusively as a vacation rental. My husband and I built a home on the adjoining 35-acre parcel. I serve as property manager for the new owners. We have a few goats and a barn cat on site at the barn. I frequent the barn a few times per day to check on them!

Why they chose this property

This property is truly magical. We searched near and far and have been blow away by what this property has to offer. The views are AMAZING!!! We have no light pollution therefore star gazing is optimal. The main house deck and Alpenglow guest room balcony face the West. You will enjoy spectacular sun sets as well from the Edelweiss room.
