In southwestern Colorado, there is a breathtaking cabin that sits perched above a canyon. No wifi and no cell phone service. If you want to get away from it all – this is the place.
“This cabin occupied my dreams for years before I found it. Off the grid, remote, sturdy and beautifully finished. Suspension bridge access, trails, Uncompahgre Wilderness. Waterfalls, wildlife, spectacular views…from bed!” reads the cabin’s Airbnb listing.
Located in Lake City, Colorado, the secluded cabin is accessed via rough road requiring 4-wheel-drive, then a private suspension bridge with a locking gate.
The nearest town is about 15 miles away, so noise and neighbors are certainly not an issue at this wooded retreat. As stunning as it looks from this side of the canyon, it only gets betters as you cross the bridge.
The front yard of the cabin features a large stone deck with canyon views. The ‘backyard’ of the cabin is the Uncompahgre Wilderness area.
Outdoors, there is a picnic table and BBQ for entertaining. There is also a large front porch with rustic Adirondack chairs, perfect for gazing out across the mountainside with a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
The cabin boasts a sprawling open floor plan with tall, vaulted ceilings, and a wall made entirely of windows.
This secluded and private retreat is one of the most idyllic log cabins you could imagine. Guests can sit around the warm woodstove after a long day exploring the Colorado wilderness, although, with views like that, it would be hard to leave the cabin.
The small dining area isn’t just a place for enjoying meals, but it’s an ideal spot for posting up with binoculars to spot the local wildlife.
The entire log cabin stays true to its theme throughout the space. All of the furnishings have a rustic, charming, and cozy cabin feel.
Next to the dining table is the modest but fully-functional kitchen.
With a sink, oven and stove, and full-size refrigerator, what more do you really need? A mirror above the kitchen sink and stove add a bit more depth to the room, making the space feel larger. The side door to the cabin leads directly out to the expansive forest.
Cozy up for the night in either the downstairs sleeping area or the upstairs loft.
Despite the fact that the cabin’s floorplan is so open, the design, decor, and furnishings keep the home feeling cozy and inviting. Could you imagine waking up to those incredible views from those large windows in the morning?
