The space
On the main floor there is a gathering space which includes an open-concept kitchen, living room with fireplace, dining areas, and a game table. The large wrap-around porch is a beautiful place to sit in the mornings and soak up the sun, enjoy the view, or share an evening meal. This is a great location for birding and watching wildlife that live on the property.
*NEW ADDITION: We have added a game room in the garage that contains a foosball table, shuffleboard, dartboard, game table, and ping pong table!
**The house has Wi-Fi and the TVs throughout the home are streaming ready (no cable).

There is an attached manager-occupied apartment above the garage across the breezeway so we can answer questions or address any issues that might come up.

Bedrooms
Master Bedroom: 1 king bed and 1 queen sleeper sofa.
1st Upstairs Bedroom: 1 queen bed.
2nd Upstairs Bedroom: Full size bunk beds.
Library Adjacent to Gathering Area: 1 queen sleeper sofa.

Bathrooms
Master Bathroom: Full bath with double sink and walk-in closet.
Upstairs Bathroom: Full jack and jill bathroom with shared toilet and tub/shower and separate vanities for each of the two upstairs bedrooms.
Downstairs Bathroom: Half bath located in the hallway downstairs off the entrance.

Cabin Addition
Located on the property is a historic, restored sod house with a live green roof. The house has a small kitchen and full bath. One full-size bed and one queen bed are located at one end of the open space where you can fall asleep to the sound of the river. The sod house sleeps four and is available to reserve (for an added fee) in addition to the main house May through September, weather permitting. This addition is $100/night plus an additional cleaning fee of $75. There is no A/C in the sod house, but it stays pretty cool, so it isn't really needed!
***The cabin is a rustic experience for those who don’t mind the possibility of sharing the space with the occasional insect that finds its way inside.

This house was previously listed as "Woodgate Mountain Retreat: 40 Acres of Peace!" and was hosted by a STR management company. We have made the switch to being owner managed.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire home, the gorgeous porch, and the backyard. There is also river access and state water with fishing access upstream of the property between the bridge and the yard!
PLEASE NOTE: We have a local rancher who keeps his cattle on some of the surrounding acreage. We kindly request that you stay out of these areas for safety reasons. They are for your viewing pleasure only.
*PLEASE NOTE: Fishing on the river is acceptable with an appropriate fishing license, but it is catch and release ONLY. The river access from the property is undeveloped so please fish according to your abilities and at your own risk.
***PLEASE NOTE: The sod house on the property is available to rent from May 1st through September 30th. The house sleeps an additional 4 people. The total number of guests the house sleeps without the use of the sod house is 10.
****PLEASE NOTE: The beautiful and unique driveway is hand-placed cobblestone and is bumpy. It is easily manageable for vehicles; however, motorcycles should be aware and use caution.

Everything about the property was done with an artful eye. The natural feel for the place is great as the river runs swiftly and the backdrop they have arranged of various artifacts such as antique tractor, etc. There also is a true original log cabin many years old with it seems everythng intact from that time. The multiple deer, fox, and beaver which was very cool to see. A truly remarkable property.

Work Trip

Six of us from work had a meeting in Montrose. Great place for a group. Plenty of rooms and privacy paired with a large living room space that allowed us to complete some of the work we needed to do together. Gorgeous setting, quite, and comfortable.

Perfect Home

The property was just as the listing suggested. We loved our stay and sat on the deck and enjoyed the scenary and the river. Without a doubt one of the best VRBO properties we have ever stayed in. Just loved the home - easy access to hiking and relaxing.

What a place!

We needed a place to stay close to Ophir and Imogene Pass in Colorado. This house was wonderful. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was stocked. There was plenty of room for 8 adults and 1 child. The views from the back porch were wonderful. We would definitely stay again!

Rustic Dreanhouse.

Clean comfortable and very well appointed with all the necessary supplies. Love the view of the river and the daily visits from the deer. Perfect for 3-4 couples or a large family Great Rec Center just a mile away with reasonable daily rates … weights, indoor track and an incredible pool.

Stunning home overlooking the river!

We had a wonderful stay! Communication with Amy was great and she was on top of everything. We attended a wedding in the area so didn't have much time at the house which was a bummer as it is beautifully appointed. Everything was in great shape and we would really like to get back in the future to enjoy it more. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect mountain getaway

My friends and I had an amazing trip to Montrose and we absolutely loved this house! The yard was unbelievable and very private. The house has so much space (beds, seating, etc) so it made spending time together easy but also finding moments alone easy. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
