About this property

Cozy Bunkhouse and Creekside Sauna Cabin next to the National Forest.

  • Discover this Pet Friendly Bunkhouse and Sauna Cabin retreat that combines modern comfort and down home charm with world class views of East Elk Creek Canyon and the surrounding White River National Forest.

    Accommodations:
    Sleep in a comfortable queen bed and three twin beds if you need them.
    Enjoy the convenience of a small and modern kitchen, soak in a clawfoot bath tub, and enjoy relaxing in Adirondack chairs on the porch.


    Amenities:
    There are hundreds of book to choose from, Direct TV and Sport package and high-speed Wi-Fi. Radiant heated floors keep the place warm in the Winter. The outdoor grill and sandstone patios are there for the classic barbecue feast in an extraordinary setting. The separate creekside Sauna Cabin is a short walk from the Bunkhouse and has a full bed, wood stove, wrap-around decks with chairs and chaise, and a cold plunge pond. Solar lights and lanterns provide the only lighting in this magical setting.

    Outdoor Activities: Hiking and Fishing along East Elk Creek are very popular pursuits and avid mountain bikers may find the New Castle network of trails to be a special experience. The town has wonderful restaurants, kid-friendly parks, a variety of shops and the nearby Lakota Canyon Golf Course. Glenwood Springs and the world famous Hot Springs are twenty miles away.

    Winter Wonderland would be an understatement here, as the ranch sits at 6,500 with ample snowfall for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing into the Forest and Canyon above. The West Elk Nordic trails at 9000 ft. are well worth the short and scenic drive from the ranch. Guests will savor and cherish the unique combination of activities in such a tranquil and pristine environment.

    Additionally the host manages two other Five Star properties; 390565 and 2888607.

Amazing stay!

We had a wonderful stay at The Bunkhouse! The cabin was clean, well-stocked, and had everything our family needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The property itself is incredibly peaceful — quiet, scenic, and a perfect place to unwind after exploring the area.John Kelly was an exceptional host — friendly, welcoming, and extremely knowledgeable about the region. He gave us great tips for visiting Glenwood Springs and nearby attractions, all of which are just a short drive away.Highly recommend this place for families looking for a cozy, quiet getaway with a personal touch!

Father and adult sons get away

My two adult sons and son-in-law, and I stayed at this beautiful location where fly fishing, hiking, rest and relaxation were our top priorities. The property is beautiful and very peaceful. There was no need to leave the property to find something to do or just to rest and relax, however Multiple options for outdoor entertainment were within a very short drive distance from this location. The owner John is wonderful and a great host.

Majestic getaway

The property was amazing! It felt like a fairytale with the secluded beautiful cabin in the woods, majestic lighting , and the soothing sound of the creek. Our family enjoyed hiking the trails, plunging into the cold pond, and relaxing in the sauna. The host made sure we had everything we needed. I didn’t want to leave and I can’t wait to go back next year.

Colorado Gem

Kelly's property is a slice of Colorado heaven. We found what we were looking for: a clean, safe, quiet place of beauty to relax and be inspired. The property contains many hidden treasures and your host makes you feel welcomed and secure. The trail along the stream is a revelation and the sauna and "water house" are gifts to all who value rejuvenation as part of a vacation. New Castle has good groceries and several decent restaurants so consider keeping your driving to a minimum in order to take in the full experience of the mountains and the sanctuary that Kelly's lovingly created here. One caveat about staying in the bunkhouse would be to make sure your party can navigate steep steps as there were three of them that connected the main entry-level sleeping area to the kitchen and bathroom and we were thinking that it was good to have reliable knees and hips among us for the 3 days we stayed. If you're fit enough to hike, you'll be just fine. We've visited the area many times due to having family here and can say this is a singular spot that we'll make a point to return to regularly. Thanks for everything Kelly!

Magical Winter Getaway in the Mountains

The End of the Road Ranch (aptly named) is at the very end of a County Road along a Creek in the mountains - backing up against a beautiful national forest. It is an absolutely stunning! If you're looking for a well-appointed, comfortable getaway in nature where everything is taken care of - this is the place. Beautiful horses, outdoor fires, an amazing sauna, and beautiful night skies with millions of stars. We were there with our two teenage children for 5 nights over New Years and used it a base for skiing at Sunlight Mountain which is about 45 minutes away by car. We also spent some time there relaxing and exploring nearby towns (New Castle, Glenwood Springs, Rifle - and the Rifle Falls National Park). There is great hiking in the National Park (and all around). John Kelly (aka Kelly) is a fantastic host (along with his friendly dog Paddy) and great fun to talk to. His photography (which is an entire impressive story in itself) decorates each building in the ranch and there are interesting pieces with great stories everywhere you look. It was a great pleasure to meet him and to stay at the Ranch in the Bunkhouse / Water House. We'll definitely be back and recommend it wholeheartedly! The Doughtys

The bunkhouse cabin was cozy, charming, and perfect for two. We spent hours on the private front porch, listening to the creek and watching the birds. With so many windows, it felt like we were still outdoors, especially with the horses grazing in the nearby pasture.A hiking trail starts right on the property and follows the creek before opening into a beautiful canyon. After our hike, the sauna was the perfect reward. We loved the cold plunge pool too, even if we only managed to dip our feet. We explored the property and found we didn’t need to go anywhere else to feel content. Still, we enjoyed snowshoeing at the nearby West Elk Nordic trails and had the perfect lunch complete with table and the best views! We also visited Rifle Falls State Park.John Kelly is a wonderful host and immediately felt like an old friend. Our Pyrenees had a great time playing with Kelly's Pyrenees, Paddy. Our five nights flew by — thank you for such a relaxing week away!

Our stay in New Castle, Colorado, was absolutely magical! Kelly, the host, was incredibly communicative and such a cool guy—we really enjoyed chatting with him. The property was breathtaking, and our kids were thrilled to wake up each morning to see horses and wild turkeys right outside the window. The beds were super comfortable, and we were pleasantly surprised by how quickly the water got hot in the remote bunkhouse. Kelly’s photography displayed throughout the house was stunning and added a personal touch to the space. He even made special arrangements for our partially paralyzed dog, which meant the world to us. This place was perfect for our family, two young kids, and our dog. We will definitely be back and highly recommend this property for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!
