3 Bedroom Cabin in Del Norte

Our small family ranch is located on Embargo Creek, halfway between Del Norte and South Fork, about 3 miles north of Highway 160. We invite you and your family to come stay with us in our guest cabin.
Our way of life is not fancy. We live off-grid with all of our electricity being provided by the sun which powers a solar array and battery bank. While this will provide for your minimum electricity needs, power conservation will be part of your stay with us.
Are you longing for a break from connectivity? Come enjoy the quiet as there is no TV, no Internet, and most cell phones don't work. Sound crazy? You may find it is just the get away you need in this fast paced world. Read a book, take a walk, gaze at the star filled sky as you lie in the hammock, play a board game, reconnect with each other. In this day, you can go anywhere to find WiFi and 4G and hundreds of TV channels. Our guest cabin offers a taste of a different way. It’s sort of like camping, but you get to sleep in a bed.
Upstairs you will find one bedroom with a queen bed, and a second bedroom with twin bunk beds and a "star" bunk (with a view out the window). A third bedroom is located on the main level and provides a full bed. The cabin has a full bathroom on the main level and a half bathroom upstairs. A large, bright, fully equipped kitchen opens to the living room and dining area. A wood stove is the source of heat for the cabin.
Embargo Creek runs through our ranch before joining the nearby Rio Grande River to the south. Our ranch includes a few friendly animals like horses, sheep, chickens, and our Newfoundland dogs. Our home cabin is a short walk from the guest cabin. In between the two cabins you’ll find the barn, the garden, the Homestead Cabin, greenhouse, and chicken coop. The workshop is nearby also. We have a pasture for our horses and second pasture for grazing. The river runs through both pastures providing the animals with water. During your stay with us, you can usually find us working around the ranch on various projects. If you have any questions, just mosey on over for a chat.
If you are interested in experiencing a step back in time, check out our 100 year old Homestead Cabin that we have restored. We have built the Homestead Cabin for the purpose of providing early American activities for guests to enjoy. Learn to cook on a wood stove, hand pump water, make butter and ice cream by hand, do laundry with a washtub and wringer, sew on a treadle sewing machine, learn to spin wool from our sheep. We are happy to arrange a fun filled day of activities for you and your family. Some activities require a bit of preparation time depending on what supplies are needed and how many people will be participating. When you arrive you are invited to look over the booklet of activities that we provide and let us know if there is something that interests you. Whether you are 6 or 60 you may find you really enjoy gettin’ back to the good ol’ ways.
The area attractions are plentiful and offer a wide variety to choose from; there is something for everyone. From our ranch, the County Road takes you into the Rio Grande National Forest just a few miles north. Hiking, mountain biking, climbing, rafting, fishing, and hunting are all nearby. The Great Sand Dunes are about an hour drive from here. The historic mining town of Creede is also a beautiful drive. The San Luis Valley is rich in history and the old west culture continues to thrive. The Rio Grande Railroad offers train rides into the mountains. Seasonal events include rodeos, car shows, art shows, music festivals, logger days, farmer’s markets, and much more. If you enjoy skiing, Wolf Creek is just 30 minutes away and records the greatest average annual snowfall in Colorado. Snowmobiling is also a popular local sport with miles and miles of beautiful trails. With so much to choose from, you’ll want to come back year after year!

Summary: Our stay was beautiful and calm. The property was unique. The host, Lisa, was so welcoming and let my 2 year old daughter accompany her during animal feedings. She was in heaven! I’d definitely return.

Summary: This was our third stay with Tim and Lisa. When I asked my son how he was going to describe the ranch to his friends he said the only way to describe it was as a magical happy fun place...and oh yeah mom, the skiing(Wolf Creek) was epic too. Every time we leave, we know we will be back again. Always leave with a sense of peace and calmness. Lisa and Tim have the best animals and stories; and love sharing their knowledge with guests. If you're worried about the cell/internet situation...it is extremely limited, but we don't miss it for a week. The wood burning stove keeps you MORE than warm enough. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need and the handmade soap in the bathrooms is a nice bonus. Truly gracious hosts!! Can't wait to see y'all next year(if not before!!)

Summary: My two young kids and I loved our time on the farm! It was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. The house itself was beautiful and clean and well-stocked with everything you need for comfort and fun. I loved how the reliance on off-the-grid solar power brought awareness to our energy usage and the opportunity to disconnect. My kids absolutely LOVED playing dress-up with all of the many cowboy costumes and cosplaying "wild west" with toy guns and real lassos. They loved the animals and are still talking about Princess Buttercup and wondering what her baby looks like. Lisa is an absolute treasure and the kids really enjoyed helping her gather eggs and feed the animals. We also brought our dog with us and she loved splashing in the creek on the property. Thank you so much to Lisa and Tim for their hospitality.

Summary: Our family of 5 had a wonderful time staying here while skiing at Wolf Creek. The cabin was very clean and cozy and my teens enjoyed exploring the pioneer cabin on the property and all of the animals! The drive to Wolf Creek Ski area was about 35 minutes and beautiful. Would stay here again!

Summary: This place is amazing. Lisa and Tim are even more amazing! The pictures on the website are absolutely an accurate representation of the property, but do not do it justice. This was our second time to stay here and it felt like we were coming home as we pulled through the gate. If you want to step away from this crazy world for a minute and take a deep breath to reset...this is your place. We originally stayed here because it was convenient to Wolf Creek. The kids couldn't wait to ski in the morning and then they couldn't get home fast enough to help Ms Lisa take care of all their "friends" (animals). The hosts of this property are more than gracious. We will be back for many many years to come. It's clear they have a love for the property and just want others to experience the beauty and peace of this place.

Summary: We stayed at this cabin because it was 5 min from where we hunt. It was a perfect way to come back from hunting every morning and night. The fireplace will damn near cook you out of there if you let it. Will definitely be staying there again not just for hunting. With no wifi or t.v. , it made my 13 year old son interact with grandpa and dad much more. Thanks again tim and Lisa The Hughes family

Summary: Tim and Lisa have a wonderful property 'off-the-grid' but close to town and its amenities. The solar power enable use of the lights and the fridge. The propane provided hot water and stove for cooking. The fire pit provided a great place to commune after a hard day of hiking and fishing. If you absolutely need a cell phone signal, 4G is available via a 5 min drive to the south. One of the three of us had two-bars to be able to text. The ranch grounds were a heavenly slice of nostalgia with a hint of 'Little House on the Prairie.'
