About this property

The Bonnie Belle Cabin, a high country modern/rustic cabin

The Bonnie Belle Cabin is a 1100 square foot, two story, 3 bedroom modern/rustic backcountry style cabin located in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, 15 miles north of Silverton, Colorado on the Alpine Loop. The cabin itself sits at 12,000 feet above sea level in Picayune Gulch overlooking the Animas River headwaters and the historic ghost town of Animas Forks. Your trip to the Bonnie Belle should be looked at as an adventure, and not just a place to lay your head. The views are second to none, and it is truly a one of a kind property with a one of a kind experience. No client is too big or small, and we will cater to any of your special needs, so please just ask. The cabin uses solar power to power lights in every room, a stereo system, kitchen appliances, etc. Kick back and enjoy the mountain views to a crackling fire in the wood stove or from the two large redwood decks. Access in the summer is by 4x4 vehicle, ATV or similar, or by foot. A Subaru or similar all wheel drive vehicle will not make it. You will not be able to tow a trailer to the cabin. Being comfortable driving on mountain 4x4 roads is essential!

Off The Grid Gem
This cabin is the most epic & luxurious off the grid property I have ever stayed at. With 360 views, we got an incredible sunset, cloud inversion, and milky way stars. Will definitely be back!

Its really hard to describe this cabin - breath taking- if you want to get away from the world this is the cabin. Perfect location to jump on must trails. Everything we needed was provided plus wood for the stove which was really nice . Thank you for the oppurtunity to stay in your beatiful cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Aaron Dodds

Host profile image
We are a partnership of 2 friends that purchased the cabin in 2008. Extensive upgrades were made to make this cabin not only enjoyable for us, but for all our clients. We are all very passionate about mountain life and work in related fields within the state of CO.

Why they chose this property

We grew up down the road in Durango (approx 60 miles south) and have always enjoyed this area of Colorado. When the property became available it was a no brainer for us.

What makes this property unique

Everything about this place made us fall in love with it. The remoteness and solitude. The views and the wildlife. The activities in the area are endless, both summer and winter, and the cool clean mountain air is always refreshing!
