NOTE Re: ATV's: Ohio City is a "No ATV's Through Town" area. Please trailer your ATV's to approved off-road areas. We want to honor all residents by maintaining a "quiet mountain setting".

Two story, 1,278 sf cabin with partial-use detached garage, horse corral* (corral to be completed, hopefully, end of Sept. '18) with adjoining corral shed / tack room. Situated 8,595 feet above sea level, this "Island in the Sky" has beautiful views up & down Quartz Creek Valley, surrounded by Aspen groves, nearby Quartz Creek, and stunning vistas of 'above timberline peaks'. This truly is 'Rocky Mountain High'!

There is a large covered deck that spans the entire width of the front of the house, facing east (with large log swing & dbl log seat w/ console - see pics). Both the sunrises and sunsets are fully experienced from the way this cabin is situated on the property, in the middle of Quartz Creek Valley.

Please refer to the photo gallery for a greater appreciation of this quaint, rustic, very homey property. As you can see, a picture/pictures are worth a thousand words . . .

We had a wonderful time! Cabin was clean and stocked with about everything you might need for your stay! The kids enjoyed the available games. Ohio City is a nice quiet town, but Pitkin and Gunnison are not too far away for trail riding or day trips.

Very simple and painless check-in.Kitchen accessories had everything we needed for our stay. Bedrooms and living area was nice and clean as well. Very quiet and peaceful setting.

Our family of 6 really enjoyed the cabin. The bunk room was a fun spot for our four kids. We enjoyed the porch with all the seats. We brought our side by side to ride trails so we had to trailer to Pitkin everyday. It was a short 12 min drive. The cabin was stacked with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!!!
