About the host
Hosted by Greg & Beth Stelz
We look forward to your stay and wish to share a sneak-peek into how our dream cabin became a reality.
Greg & Beth grew up in small mid-western towns, relocating to Durango, CO in 2004. After years of working in parks & recreation and the brewery & liquor industries, Greg decided to truly apply the knowledge and skills of his 1998 forestry bachelor degree from The Ohio State University.
In 2021, we purchased a sawmill and started harvesting & milling pines from the cabin site & local forests. Countless tedious hours over many months were spent creating the timber structure made of dowel joinery. By spring of 2023, we were 'raising the roof' with cabin completion in August 2024.

What makes this property unique
Whether watching the sun sink in the western sky, viewing the monsoon rain clouds roll through in the late summer months or gazing out at the snowcapped peaks of Kenebec Pass above La Plata Canyon in the San Juan Mountains, our views are breathtaking! May you enjoy a Peek at the Peaks from the porch of our private cabin!
