Home w/ Private Gate to 500,000 BLM Acres

Be one of our very first guests! We are a brand new listing and are thrilled to offer a special introductory rate while we work to earn our first 5-star reviews. We're dedicated to making your stay a perfect one.

Walk from your backdoor into a national monument! This spacious 2BR/2BA home offers direct gate access to nearly 500,000 acres of Canyons of the Ancients. Perfect for families, it features an open-concept living area, a gourmet kitchen, fast Starlink Wi-Fi, and our signature Effortless Checkout. Your ultimate adventure basecamp awaits!

The space
Welcome to your private adventure basecamp! The most unique feature of our home is what lies just beyond the back gate: direct, walkable access to the nearly half-million-acre Canyons of the Ancients National Monument. Leave the car behind and step directly into a world of unparalleled hiking and history.

The spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is designed for comfort and relaxation. The heart of the home is the open-concept living and kitchen area, featuring a large sectional sofa, a cozy gas stove, and a fully-equipped gourmet kitchen. A wall of windows floods the space with light and offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.

Guest access
You will have the entire main house to yourself, including the large screened-in porch and the main yard area. You are also welcome to use the private gate at the back of the property to access the adjacent BLM land for hiking. Please note that the separate guesthouse is not included in this rental and may be occupied by other guests, who will share access to the driveway and BLM gate.

Other things to note

Effortless Checkout: Your vacation should be relaxing until the very end. When you check out, just pack your personal belongings and go. No chores required—we handle the beds, laundry, dishes, and trash.

Work & Stream with Ease: The home is equipped with high-speed Starlink internet, perfect for remote work or streaming.

About Our Well Water: Our home is serviced by a deep well. The water is perfectly safe and extensively filtered. We also provide a Brita pitcher and bottled water for your convenience.

Please Note: The separate guesthouse on the property may be occupied by other guests. They have their own private entrance and space, and we ask that all guests be mindful and respectful of one another.

Liked: Cleanliness
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is big, beautiful, super clean, and has so many nice little extras—yoga mats, books, hiking, and tons of natural light. It honestly has everything you’d ever need in a home (and then some!). Such a comfortable and welcoming place, we’d definitely stay again. It is a bit of trip from town, but that is part of its charm as you can view the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument from the backyard!
