Fishing base
As advertised. One thought would be to replace the gasket / seal around the wood stove door in order to better control the air to the stove so it could be choked down to the point it could burn all night. Other than that, great spot!

The Artist’s Cabin
We loved our stay at the Artist’s Cabin. It is not a fancy place by any means but the description and photos on VRBO make that clear. The stand-out feature of this cabin is the setting. Absolutely breathtaking, right on the Million Dollar Highway. We were comfortable there and had everything we needed. We definitely plan to return!

Artist Cabin Serene Adventure
The Artist Cabin welcomed us to the middle of a mountain range just outside of the small town of Silverton, CO. My brother and I absolutely enjoyed the peace and comfort the cabin provided to us. Check in was a breeze and so was check out. We enjoyed all of the amenities of the cabin and would definitely recommend for any group wanting to isolate themselves in the beautiful mountains!

Peaceful, Beautiful Views, Hiking, Wildlife - Perfect!
Our family of 7 absolutely loved staying at this cabin!! There’s no cell service, which was such a gift. It forced us to stop and enjoy nature, the views, and each other more. We painted, played games, read, hiked, took tons of photos, and enjoyed the wildlife. It was perfect! We hope to come back some day.

Perfect in every way
The cabin was well-stocked, clean and quaint. It is in a great location with quick access to Silverton and Ouray and a short drive to Telluride and Durango. Jeepers will love the trails and nature-lovers will be awestruck. Be aware that is is right on the 550 highway-high elevations and not great if you have a fear of heights like us flatlanders. Must book today!

Peaceful stay with amenities
I enjoyed being in the middle of the mountain ranges away from towns. It’s a great way to see the stars without any light from streets or homes creating light pollution. Beautiful location and well placed between Ouray and Silverton if you want to see towns with spectacular views of the mountains. Only thing that was a drawback for me was the inability to know how much power we were using, due to the sign warning us that the battery was not full. In addition the toilet kept running and we continuously had to fuss with it to get it to stop running water.

Winter entry is hard
I had no idea that it would be so difficult to get to the front door because of all the snow. Elderly people or anyone who has difficulty walking wouldn’t be able to walk from the car to the front door. There’s barely a path to get to the front door

The Location is amazing. Authenticity was great! This property is run by solar panels and the Electricity is stored. The Electric never came on. The proprietor did not provide an option or a solution. The people staying the next day suffered the same fate. The proprietor new this was going to happen to the next guests. I felt like they may have known there was an issue. They certainly knew the next guests were going to experience the issue.

Wilderness stay not to far from town.
This is a wonderful get away cabin. If your looking for a fancy resort cabin this is not the one but if you want to get away from people, computers, TV and get away with just you and your family into the wilderness of Colorado this is the place. With creeks running on two sides of the cabin, waterfalls everywhere you explore and Moose in the open fields near the cabin, it's a wonderful place to stay. If you do stay here you must experience the Red Mountain mining district, near by Silverton, the million dollar highway and Ouray. By the way the food at Bon Ton Italian restaurant in Ouray is very good. Also a fun side trek over to Telluride allows you to see the spectacular Bridal veil falls. If your looking for Jeep badge of honor trails. There are 5 in the area. Also you can tour the old hundred mine in Silverton, the Bachelor Syracuse mine in Ouray and so many other things. Have fun, bring your camera and be prepared to want to return.

Only reason I gave 4/5 for cleanliness is that it’s a rustic spot, not a luxury suite. We loved it just the way it was!

Great location between Silverton and Ouray
Rented due to rates and location. Nothing fancy at all, but liked the solitude away from town and tech. Having our coffee in the mornings on the back deck in the crisp mountain air was a special treat. Solar-powered and no electrical appliances provided or allowed (i.e. toaster, microwave, coffeemaker) so be prepared for that.

Beautiful and Remote
My husband and I reunited with longtime friends at this property for a trail race. The cabin is in a unique remote and beautiful setting, but still only a 15 minutes drive from downtown Silverton. It requires a lot of planning (and brining of your own items from home to outfit the cabin for your stay), so wouldn't recommend for those flying into the cabin from far away who may have to pack all of this with them. There is also no cell or wifi service at cabin. We enjoyed the departure from our busy connected lives, but would be difficult for those who need to be connected for work or other purposes! There are coffee shops in downtown Silverton who offer wifi. Great spot!
