Rustic guest cabin set in the high country between Telluride and Ridgway

Situated amongst aspens and pines, and just 40 minutes from Telluride's festivals, The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is fully equipped for those who appreciate simplicity in a rustic setting. Complete with bedroom, kitchenette and bath, this cozy space is kept warm by wood stove and cool by the mountain breeze.

The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is centrally located between Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray on a 10 acre parcel which also houses the main Family Cabin. The Family Cabin is occupied by the owners/caretakers and is situated across the driveway from The BunkHouse. Just west of the Dallas Divide Summit, the property is easily accessed from CO Hwy 62.

The property is quiet and secluded near the end of the road, amongst a mixture of 5 to 40 acre parcels making up the surrounding "neighborhood." There are walking trails around the acreage and along the gravel roads in the subdivision. Property is forested with Ponderosa Pine, Douglas Fir, Gambrel Oak, and Aspen, as well as many wildflowers.
Mountain views are of Hayden Peak, North Pole Peak, and Mount Mary. Wildlife are seen on the property and in the neighborhood. The property has horse shoe pits, corn hole boards, and a sandbox and swing set for children. It is a dog-friendly place. The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is a NO SMOKING property, inside and outside.

The BunkHouse at Piney Woods is 510 square feet with one bedroom/living room combo; wood stove; separate kitchen with dining table and chairs; full bathroom with shower; private deck with forest view. It accommodates two people with one queen size bed and possibly a child on separate sleeping “bunk”. Guest parking is located directly in front of The BunkHouse. There is no cable or satellite TV, but Internet is available. A flat screen TV with built in DVD player is provided. The kitchenette is equipped with dishes, flatware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee pot, electric kettle, microwave, toaster, hot plate, refrigerator, slow cooker, toaster oven, kitchen linens, and paper towels. Guests should plan to bring their own food, drinks, refreshments, and personal toiletries. Bath and bedding linens are provided.

Situated within 30 minutes or less of Telluride, Ridgway and Ouray, The BunkHouse is remote but still makes it easy for festival goers and visitors to access nearby sights, shops and dining. Guests can easily enjoy the great outdoors of the San Juan Mountains by means of hiking, mountain biking, 4-wheel drive excursions, fishing, hunting, photography, etc. The BunkHouse provides an ideal retreat for persons seeking peace, quiet, and privacy in a beautiful mountain setting.

The Most Wonderful VRBO We Have Ever Stayed At . . .
This VRBO is awesome!! The best VRBO we have ever stayed at (and we stay at quite a few). If we could give it 100 stars, we would. Close to Telluride, Ridgeway and Ouray, but in the mountains away from all of the congestion. The bunkhouse is beautiful and comes with everything needed (the bed is super comfy). We sat on the back deck and enjoyed watching the deer, wildlife and night stars, and hiked the property. Hosts Marianne and Larry are wonderful and made sure we had everything needed for a perfect trip. Thank you so much Marianne and Larry for a wonderful stay :) We hope to be back soon!

Lives up to the reviews!
This is one of the few rentals I have had that really lived up to the past great reviews! Quiet, out of the way location (but easy to access), beautiful scenery, on-site welcoming and helpful hosts, accommodations nicely decorated (loved the birdhouses!) and clean and neat. Thanks for a great weekend!

This cabin is perfection if you’re looking for comfort and tranquillity. The setting is picturesque in the woods with a lovely deck to watch sunset on. There were plenty of linens, nice bedding, and such cute thoughtful touches such as towels by the front door if you have a dog! Would love to come back here and stay next time I’m in the area. The hosts are just lovely, kind, friendly people. Great spot!

This was quite a place to stay. The only negative is that is is hard to find. Marianne and Larry were excellent host. If using google maps use 143 Lake Drive and it will guide you there.

Amazing - bigger and better than expected!
All parts of our stay exceeded our expectations. Our hosts were kind and warm without intruding at all - the Bunkhouse provided more than enough space for my husband, my self, and our large dogs. The deck was lovely, the bed comfortable, the entire space incredibly clean. The shower was hot and the kitchen had everything we needed (not a full range with oven - but toaster oven, coffee maker, hot plate, microwave). The craftsmanship that went into building the Bunkhouse (built within the last 20 or so years ) is evident - the care, upkeep, and mountain decor is unmatched. Really lovely. Staying at the Bunkhouse was an experience of a lifetime for anyone looking to stage their stay close to incredible hiking, views, and breath in some clean mountain air. We saw elk, blue jays, and of course deer. Close to Telluride, Ouray, Ridgway, Montrose (Mount Sneffels and Mount Wilson) we were able to easily access these beautiful locations but skipped the hustle and bustle of so many tourists. We will def stay here again as we continue exploring the better side of the Rockies.

Great Place!
We loved our stay at the Bunkhouse! We didn’t spend too much time there, as we were in town for a wedding & some hiking in the San Juan’s, but it was a very cozy and comfortable place to come back to!! We spent one evening on the porch which was very enjoyable. Hosts in the main house happened to be outside when we arrived and were so sweet! My husband spent some time chatting with Marianne and their sweet pup, Mandy. We will be back if we can find openings!!! It would be great around fall time!!

This was a perfect weekend stay for the 2 of us. The hosts were friendly and thoughtful. They greeted us on arrival and were available throughout our stay. There was a newly added balcony on the backside of the bungalow which we enjoyed. Great addition. We would love to visit again.
