Outstanding
It was an overall outstanding stay in the Cabin. Judy and Craig, the Hosts, were super friendly, extremely helpfully, and we learned a lot about the area. The View from the Cabin is extraordinary. Nobody is around, the Cabin very secluded. Recommendation to everybody, don’t think twice - it’s absolutely worth it.

We had such a nice time staying at this cabin. There are a couple well maintained hiking trails around the property. The scenery while hiking the trails, and the view of the Spanish peaks from the cabin were beautiful! It's obvious that a lot of love has gone into the upkeep of this property. We couldn't recommend it more!

If you want a quiet place to get away from it all, this cabin is amazing. Well off the beaten path, but everything you need to relax and get away from the city. Our dogs were made to feel right at home and loved walking around the cabin and sleeping the afternoon away on the deck. We had turkeys walking up to the cabin one morning and had a very relaxing stay. We will be back. Thank you for sharing this wonderful cabin with us.

Another Amazing Stay!
We’ve stayed at CJ’s Ranch several times now, and it’s our favorite by far! If you’re looking for quiet, peace, mountains, and a central location to access a lot of the great National Parks spots, this is it! Craig & Judy are wonderful hosts! The cabin has all your basic kitchen needs, the grill on the deck makes for great steaks, and the fire ring outside is great for warming up while star gazing and roasting marshmallows. We’re already planning our next trip back.

This was our 2nd stay at the cabin and July provided beautiful weather to be outdoors hiking or just simply sitting on the porch admiring the Spanish Peaks. Craig and Judy are the best hosts and take great care of us. We enjoy the seclusion of the cabin where the only thing you can hear is nature.

Fantastic Stay at the CJ Cabin II!
We loved everything about the cabin and grounds at this property! Though you should not expect cell phone service there, that didn’t matter at all! The front porch view of the cabin says it all - a direct view of the Spanish Peaks and nearby hoodoos on their property. We grilled out, hiked, cooked s’mores at the fire ring and had a blast! The Owners are the friendliest folks and live just across the road and were available to help if we needed anything. They had helpful labels and instructions for anything in the cabin or next-door bathhouse. We would readily recommend a family stay here anytime and we hope to come back soon!

Amazing getaway!
I found this property on a whim! I work in a very stressful position at a law firm and during the pandemic I've found some calmness in taking a road trip to the mountains. We usually camp at a nearby state park - but since it was so late in the year, we didn't want to chance the weather. So glad that we didn't. I searched VRBO and found this amazing little cabin. The owners were as sweet as can be and provided much more than we planned for! The cabin was perfect for our little family and dog (and could really have fit a few more people). The views are spectacular, no camera will ever do them justice. The deck is perfect! The cabin was stocked with all of the necessary items and even some fun board games that we took advantage of. We will definitely try to get back out there after winter is over. Thank you Judy and Craig for sharing your piece of serenity with us!

This cabin/property was everything our family needed to disconnect and recharge. Judy and Craig are so welcoming and made sure we had the best stay we could. We all loved hiking their property (especially our dogs), enjoying the amazing views during the day and stargazing at night. We cannot wait to get back to CJ's ranch & cabin, next time for a longer time!!!

Beautiful and secluded getaway
Craig and Judy made us feel welcome immediately! It’s quite a twisty turn to get there but my Apple Maps found it perfectly. They were waiting for us to get there. The views of the Spanish Peaks are so beautiful. Sunsets are the best. Everything we could ever need was already in the cabin. The ac really helped during hotter time but in the mornings just leaving the screen door open and feeling the breeze was wonderful. We used the patio extensively for resting and eating. Our pup truly enjoyed the area as he got to smell all the wildlife. We did a few hikes around the area and even enjoyed a short rain. It was the much needed solitude we were looking for. Our phones being ATT didn’t have signal so we loved being unplugged!! We truly recommend this lovely respite.

About the host

Hosted by Judy and Craig Sloan

Host profile image
Judy and Craig are living the dream of being in the mountains.
Awesome views of the Spanish Peaks and wildlife every where.
We invite you to experience our little slice of heaven in Colorado.

Why they chose this property

We chose this Ranch to get away from the hustle bustle of daily life in the City. It gave our dog and best friend CJ plenty of room to run. We enjoy the surroundings with endless views and have time to relax with our ranch neighbors and new friends we meet at the cabin. We lived in this cabin as we built a new home on another parcel on the same Ranch. Now we invite others to experience our cozy little cabin for their get away time in the mountains.

What makes this property unique

Guests can enjoy the mountains as we do, without any disturbances.
Comfy log cabin, relax with a book, or just nap on the deck.
Just listen to the wind go thru the tall ponderosa's.
Enjoy the stars at night as they light up the forest floor.
Tour the surrounding area of Southern Colorado, visit the Historic town of Trinidad where the stories of the "WILD WEST" were born. You can go to the many lakes to cool off or catch some nice Walleye, or visit the museums in town. Go hiking in the Spanish peaks wildlife area off the Highway of Legends thru Stonewall, Cuchara and LaVeta.
Bike in the mountains on the “ Rad” bike trail to Cordova pass.
