Come to Windance and experience the expansive space of the mountains! This place is in a magnificent setting with miles-long views in every direction; It was our BEST vacation rental yet.
If you want stunning landscapes, endless skies, private trails, ponds, streams & roads to explore, THIS is your place. The great cabin offers comfort and convenience for those few moments you'll want to be inside. We brought books but we could not take our eyes off of the view - when on the deck or in the cabin, the distant cliffs and peaks demand your attention.
The crystal-clear hot tub beckons you to watch the night sky. The SUP boards and kayak await you on one of your private ponds.
The kitchen is well-appointed and efficient with quality cookware, appliances, dishes and any gadget you may need. It's very narrow - 2 people must coordinate carefully. But good luck getting anything done with the Northward view of the FlatTops right out your kitchen window! Or cooking at the stove when Castle Peak is lookin at you just across the dining table.
Even during the monsoon rains, you can be outside under the deck roof overhang.
We had one chilly evening (in July!) so we got to use the fireplace.
Yes, there were flies and bugs during the heat of the day, but they disappear along with the sun. Yes, there were LOTS of bugs at the pond, but most of them were beautiful electric-blue dragon flies. Also be prepared for some aggressively feisty hummingbirds! They were not happy when I removed the feeder for sanitizing & re-filling (1 part cane sugar to 4 parts boiled water and NOTHING else) and an intense battle commenced for the fresh nectar.
Yup, saw 2 bears during our stay. One watched us from the ridge and then turned and ambled over the horizon - what a thrilling relief!
Jeff was very helpful and responsive. He was very respectful of our privacy, but he also offered help & logistics if we ever needed him. AT&T cell service was sketchy and the internet is slow (that's NOT why you go to Windance) also Jeff is working somewhere on the ranch each day, but he always responded to us.
We hope to return to Windance Cabin. If we ever win the lotto we will try to buy it! LOL. If you're looking for a pampered, luxurious material experience this may not be the place for you. If you want a private, secluded & comfy home base to play & explore your staggeringly beautiful surroundings, make plans for Windance.
