Great Location for Black Canyon
We had a wonderful stay at the Black Canyon Cottage. We were greeted by the owners who lived on the property, and had some nice conversations with them. The cabin is small, as expected, but it was a cozy place to spend a couple days on our way through.

Tranquil Ranch With Kind Hosts
We were only here for two nights, but wish we could've stayed longer and hope to visit again! Gary and Laurie Ann were very communicative and welcoming. The property boasts stunning views and the cabin is cozy & comfortable. My partner and I were visiting the area to hike the Blue Lakes trail near ridgeway, but will definitely be planning a longer stay to explore more of the surrounding areas and the Black Canyon National Park next time around. The property is conveniently located within relatively short drives to multiple scenic routes and mountain towns!

Great place to unwind
Out in the boonies but not hard to find. The quiet was priceless. The horses and mini horses were a bonus. Watched deer and listened to coyotes. Our host offered good day trip suggestions that were appreciated. You do have to climb stairs to sleep and no wifi. We would come again if we go this way. Thank you Gary and LaurieAnn!
