About this property

This renovated cabin was on skids, and we have added a beautiful sunroom/living area with a walk out grade patio to complete the design. It has solar power, with a back up generator..and has a pull out couch, as well as twins in each bedroom, so sleeping capacity is 6. We have a wonderful weber grill, as well as a fire pit on the patio, outside dining and a nice covered front porch, for shade in the hot afternoons...also has a gazebo, on the top of the elk pen here on the Ranch. Nice place for a nap, or practice your morning or evening yoga!

Great relaxing get away!

My husband and our 2 dobermans had a wonderful experience! Mary & Terry's property is absolutely beautiful! It was so relaxing to watch the elk, the night sky, and gaze at the beautiful mountains. Our 2 dogs loved the property and enjoyed barking at the elk! The cabin is clean and so cute. Drive to glenwood springs is about 25 minutes. Mary gave us some local recommendations and even some elk steaks and ground meat! We cant wait to be back

Loved this unique property!!

This house is so unique! It was great to get away from the city for a few days and really relax. We enjoyed watching the elk, hearing the elk and cows, watching shooting stars, roasting marshmallows, playing board games. Mary is very responsive and easy to work with. With her directions the house is easy to find. We can’t wait to come back!!

New Castle Cabin

We liked the dog friendly fenced in yard. Our family rode the Gondola & saw the caves at Glenwood Springs. We also had a fly fishing float trip and went white water rafting.

About the host

Hosted by Terry and Mary

Terry Porter was born and raised here in New Castle and makes Porter Ranch his home and living. He raises Rocky Mountain Elk here, and is a custom Hay Rancher. Custom hay IS our bread and butter, but we also have goats.. a lot of goats...and raise 2 natural bred imported dogs, lakeland terriers and pepper and salt giant schnauzers. come visit any time.

Why they chose this property

This cabin is for those special someone's who really want to get away from it all. You are completely secluded, with all the luxuries of home..you must be judicious with the power, and understand that there is a lot of responsibility with being in with the elk. BUT,,,,talk about a unique experience. You will love it... DOGS are free but must be crated or go with you.. or they will eat my curtains and break windows when the elk approach. If its hot, please check with me to house them in my basement. They are NOT allowed up hanging lake.. FYI>

What makes this property unique

Covered front porch, nice outside clawfoot tub for a sun shower, or a dog bath, private gazebo and complete solitude. Outside grill and fire pit, pull out couch and walk out grade Colorado red stone patio. Really nice and very very private.FREE WIFI NOW. It is slow. FYI.
