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.

My family and I had a wonderful stay here. I really appreciated the cleanliness, attention to detail and the quality of the offering. The home and property had everything you needed, and the owners were not skimpy and what they provided for their guests. I greatly appreciate that.

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.

What is not to like about this beautiful and peaceful place! It really is a sanctuary.

We loved the space and location. Plenty of room to spread out in the open kitchen and great room. And the deck was the highlight for early morning coffee and evening sunsets

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.

Beautiful setting and property

We needed a large property for a last minute family gathering. This property fit the bill perfectly, not only did it have sufficient accommodations but the house and setting were beautiful and peaceful and provided the tranquility that was needed at the time and allowed the family to be together during a trying situation.

Great Family Cabin!!!

I gave everything 5 stars except location. I did not realize that the cabin was so close to the town of Montrose. We expected to be more in the mountains. That said, the property was great for our kids!

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!

We had an amazing time at this property! The pictures do not do it justice. It is a peaceful, private haven with sounds of the river and a spring fed stream lifting up to the house. We truly did not want to leave. It has everything you need, very well appointed. We will definitely be back!!! ThAnk you!

Beautiful Home and Property

Our family of 9 adults and 4 children had a great experience at this incredibly beautiful home and property. We were there to attend a wedding at the new venue Storm King Mountain Ranch. The location was very convenient to Montrose and the venue. The home was very clean, well equipped, comfortable and accommodating. The property features unique western memorabilia and furnishings. The sod house offers a step into the past with its authentic restoration and comfort.

Peaceful getaway

This is one of the most amazing properties we have ever stayed at. The house inside was perfect. Yet it was the outside property that made the trip. From the wrap around deck, the tire swing for the kids and the deer in the morning . We loved this peaceful getaway .Yet we were only a few minutes from town. So it made it easy to get around. I’m sure we will be back soon.

CO Dream Family Vacation

We met our 3 kids and their families here for Spring Break. There were 19 people total and this cabin exceeded all of our expectations. We decided to stay here because of the central location to Black Canyon, Ouray, skiing at Powderhorn and Million Dollar Highway. We not only loved the hikes and excursions we did in the area but the home itself is located in a spot with the beautiful San Juan mountains surrounding us. The river running through the property, the wrap around deck, and the views from all the windows was exactly what we wanted for a vacation in Colorado. Our family enjoyed cooking and baking in the kitchen together. We even had a family bake-off that will always be a memory of ours. The kitchen was surprisingly the most well stocked of any rental we have used. The bedrooms were setup phenomenally for multi-families to relax and enjoy their vacations together. The apartment above the garage was such a great surprise and provided some privacy for us when we needed some reprieve. This is a cabin we will be recommending to everyone we know who wants to explore Colorado! Thank you for the best CO vacation we could ever dream of!!!

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!
