Here’s the ideal location for your 4-Corners vacation base! Experience the unique ambience of the beautiful Southwest while staying at the “Log Cabin in Yellow Jacket.”

The Cabin is located on four private acres, approximately 18 miles NW of Cortez. The idyllic setting is near the Canyon of the Ancients, the Anasazi Heritage Center, and Hovenweep, Lowry and Mesa Verde ruins.

The Cabin is perfect for couples and small parties. Open year ‘round.

 

Lodging Style and Amenities

Enjoy upscale amenities throughout the 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 3100 sq. ft. full-scribe log home including; king beds, gourmet kitchen, Wi-Fi, fireplaces, movie library, indoor endless pool, outdoor hot-tub, wrap-around deck, and BBQ grill. There are hundreds of trees and flowers, plus an organic garden and an Anasazi tribute tree to honor the ruins that criss-cross the neighborhood and that lie under the main garden.

Guests consistently rate staying at the Cabin 5 out of 5 on all categories. The combination of a beautiful and comfortable log dwelling, the feeling of security and connection to nature created by the hundreds of trees and property landscaping, and the "have to experience it for yourself" peaceful ambience, makes a stay in the Cabin truly representative of the best the Four Corner's Colorado lifestyle has to offer.

Although the Cabin fits the "Ranch" description for lodging, it is more like a farm or better still, "a farmette." There is a long history in the land. It is part of what makes those who visit the Cabin feel grounded and freshly connected of their purpose.

Locally or Family Owned Business Notes

As the world has changed, so has the use of the land. The Cabin sits on what remains of the owner's orginal family farm. Time has changed the working farm into a place to visit, a place to renew connection to the land and a connection to self. It is a timeless gift that the land offers all who come in contact with it.
