Montrose getaway

Hunting trip stay, fantastic views, great house to stay in. Other than the road to get there, (last two miles are pretty tough, but not owners fault), the whole week was great. From beautiful weather, great house setup overlooking Mountain View’s for miles, to comfortable stay, was a beautiful vacation to remember.

Breathtaking Setting

Beautiful remote location where a very accommodating host shares this magnificent home with wildlife, hummingbirds, peace and quiet. We used the week elk hunting nearby with my son having his first harvest. Strongly suggest an AWD or 4x4 as last 2 miles is rough. We’ll be back!

Private. Peaceful. Views for miles!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Reiner's Montrose mountaintop retreat. The road is a bit of a climb, and the last two miles up are rough so come prepared with patience and a high-clearance vehicle. But once you're there -- WOW! Breathtaking views, spectacular star gazing, calm winds, cool temps and a home that meets all of your basic needs (and then some). Highly recommend if you're seeking solitude with a smidge of adventure.

The Best Views in Colorado

We had a quiet and peaceful stay at the Waldhaus. Spacious, comfortable, and a great location. We heard bear, elk, and coyotes. We saw a mule deer momma and her two babies as well as a bunch of hummingbirds! We highly recommend this home to those who have a 4-wheel drive, higher clearance car - we did fine in our Subaru Outback. You will not regret choosing this location.

This location is a retreat like none other! Don't forget the Jeep!

My husband and I celebrated his 50th birthday in Colorado for 7 days. We stayed at Reiner's mountain home as our hub to hike Telluride/Curecanit/Black Canyon and Ouray. We didn't realize that staying at this rental is an experience by itself. I have stayed at many many VRBO's over the years but nothing like this. This is far removed from city life. The peace and quiet on the mountain is the most perfect quiet I've ever had and was a true retreat from my 6 kids and crazy life! We had 3 days of evening rains while we were there. This made the trek up/down the mountain pretty slick in the morning even in the Jeep. We watched several YouTube videos and we got pretty good at muddin' by the end! I set my alarm every morning to never miss a sunrise and walk the road a mile up and back with coffee in hand. I'll never forget it. Others have mentioned there's no A/C. True but you don't need it. You open a few windows and you have the best A/C in the world. The living room Smart TV worked great. Kitchen is well stocked and hot showers were perfect on sore muscles. Thank you!

Great stay!

Loved all the space, it was very comfortable. Enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the hummingbirds and looking at the scenery and stars. Definitely a secluded getaway. Be prepared, the last couple miles of the road in is rough and need higher clearance vehicle 4WD or AWD. Reiner made sure we had a great stay and gave us some suggestions of things to see.

Beautiful

The view from the house was amazing. The house was huge with plenty of room to spread out. Things to know: there is no dishwasher and the washer & dryer does not work. We did not have 4 wheel drive, but drove a SUV with high clearance. Normally this would have worked out okay even though the last 2 miles of the road is VERY rough with jagged rocks and loose gravel. When it rains… you definitely need 4 wheel drive!!! The first day there it rained and the road turned into a muddy, sticky mess. We slid sideways all the way down the hill. That night it rained again and we were afraid to leave for fear we wouldn’t be able to get back up there… one whole day wasted. After the rain stopped and the road dried it was wonderful. Not a place you would run back to pick up something you forgot, but a beautiful place high in the mountains with no neighbors.

Great Get Away

Great time staying at this property and support from host. Lots of open space to spread out and enjoy family time and would stay again. Would recommend AWD/4WD to reach the property ... we were ok without it, but would not have been able to get there in inclement weather.

Beautiful location-glamping at its finest

Big space. HUGE wrap deck with great views for sunrise and sunset. The road in is rough, and FYI only one option, lots of the roads on Google are gated/private. Firepit, gas and wood, both grills, indoor wood stove, full kitchen (but bring your own sharp knives!), this place was VERY private and secluded, and gorgeous for fall color. Also seems well-appointed for hunters. We’ll come back.

Stunning view!

We had a wonderful stay on this property. The views of the sunrise and sunset were breathtaking and seeing the stars so clearly at night was a great! We loved feeling the breeze through the windows in the day and being warmed by the fireplace at night. The house was well stocked and very clean. Reiner was extremely helpful with directions to his property and had great suggestions of things to do while visiting. We are looking forward to spending time here the next time we travel to Colorado!

Awesome views!

We really enjoyed our stay at Reiner’s house. The view from the porch was spectacular, overlooking rolling hills and the town of Montrose. At night, the whole sky was ablaze with stars, and the sunrises and sunsets were amazing. We loved the solitude and serenity. The house is a bit far from town—and the road is pretty rough in places, but the views are definitely worth it!

STUNNING VIEWS

yes 4 wheel drive or awd needed--couple of corners in the last mile are washed out pretty good. slow going for sure. but the views are absolutely beautiful. plan your excursions accordingly for the drive down and allow plenty of time. gps takes us to the house from Montrose but from the south, ridgeway it wanted to take us up the back side of the mountain, as long as you know this you will be ok. wifi was great, tv is roku or satellite. pond in view where animals frequent. watching storms roll in was the best part for me. magical.

Excellent Views!!! Quiet getaway!

My wife and I spent a week at this high-elevation remote getaway location. We loved the expansive views during the day and the incredible night sky in the evenings! The owner was very easy to work with and made the stay enjoyable. I would keep in mind that the cabin is very remote. It takes 35-45 minutes to get into Montrose or Gunnison and at least an hour to get into Ouray. But the remoteness is worth it at night and during a hot day in Montrose. The remoteness also comes with a lack of road maintenance. If you do not own a 4-wheel drive or at least a higher clearance vehicle, you won't get to the cabin. A sedan would likely be damaged trying to reach the location. There isn't air conditioning, so be prepared to keep the windows open and hope for good breezes. Not all of the screens were in place so every window couldn't be opened to expedite the cooling off of the stuffiness. The temp in Montrose was in the high 80s or 90s but the cabin was in the upper 70s or very low 80s at the peak high. So, the opening of the windows becomes important. However, be prepared to be wrapped up by morning as the temps cool off quickly in the evening and through the night! The listing showed a washer/dryer. It was out of service but the owner was quick to provide us with cost-free laundromat services if we had needed them. This along with a few minor touch-ups would improve the listing accuracy. Overall, we had a great time and will stay there again! The view is gorgeous!

Mountain Getaway

Great house. Very secluded location. My only advice would be make sure you drive a vehicle that is high off the ground and be ready for a little offroad. Plan extra time into all trips. Well worth it!
