Del Norte Cottage | A Solar, Cordwood/Bottle Hand-Built Charming Cottage, In the La Garita Mountains

1 Bedroom Cottage in Del Norte

Hello Dear Travelers, the 'Mermaid Cottage' is a sweet, hand built Cord-wood structure full of beautiful Art, Majestic views and is on the forefront of our peaceful all Solar 35 acre ranch, we get all our energy from the sun (there is a generator back-up) . If you love to star gaze this is the place for youI The Milky Way is right over head :-) You will have your full privacy to enjoy what could be your base camp home for exploring the San Luis Valley and all it's beauty and wonder! Right out your front door you could hike, bike, cross-country ski, snowshoe, bird watch, rock climb and stargaze just to mention a few. You are minutes to an hour away from the The Wolf Creek Ski area, Rio Grande River, wilderness, Sand dunes, Hot Springs, Railroads, Live Theater, Cafes, shopping and so much more! Internet is available and there is a small refrigerator, Dbl stove burner, T.V. w/ D.V.D's only, includes coffee with a french press and Teas. Although small it includes all the comforts of home! We are always happy to answer all your questions so please just ask!
Our guests love to trek all over this beautiful property and ride their mountain bikes or dirt bikes to the famous 'Penitente Canyon'(world renown climbing area), the Natural Arch (La Ventana) Geological area. Also the Elephant Rocks. A place so magical we were actually married there and then again up here on our ranch, lovingly known as 'Angel Rock Ranch'. Our back-drop is a massive Rock formation, part of an old Caldera.(cal·de·ra)
a large volcanic crater, typically one formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano.) Yes it is dormant ;-) This Rock formation has a large pinnacle that resembles an Angel, halo and all! With two Massive bluffs (her wings) jutting out from either side! Truly magnificent!!!
The word that most often comes to mind is 'Vortex' (a vortex is a site where the energy of an area is concentrated. A vortex site is a place where one can feel spiritual energy most strongly) We'll let you be the judge.
Future plans include a labyrinth, bush-whacking golf coarse, Frisbee Golf and Large outdoor chest game (we did this on a recent trip to Sedona, it was such Fun!!!)
We love Alternative building, here on the property we not only have a cordwood Cottage we also have a Straw-bale structure as well as a Log Hogan and a Log Cabin! Just ask we will be happy to give you a tour of the property:-)
The comment that we hear most often are that our guest don't want to leave! That is music to our ears!
If you are ready for a Beautiful, Peaceful get-a-way where you will be surrounded by nature and all the privacy you could hope for on a creative, unusual property then the 'Mermaid Cottage' awaits you....
Oh one last thing!
We have a nice family of cats and dogs here on the ranch, but not to worry, although they will greet you they don't go in the Cottage. There is a sweet little black cat named "Raya Sunshine" that loves hanging out down near the Cottage. Most of our animals are rescues. If you would like to bring your pet please let us know. There is a $15. pet fee, per pet per night that will all go towards the feeding and care of the animals up here on the ranch.

Summary: This is the most creative & artistic made cottage set in the most beautiful area by the San Luis Valley. Every detail was thought out in the building and decorating the cottage. It's on an off-grid ranch with the most kind & helpful owner. You can not beat a sunrise from your window or porch, and the sunsets are just as spectacular. It's located extremely close to many amazing DIFFERENT views and hikes. This is definitely a place to experience if you crave seclusion, peace, and gorgeous views.

Summary: Had a wonderful stay. Much thanks to our kind and generous hosts. A truly magical place.
Christopher H. Apr 16, 2023 09:51:38 AM
Summary: My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. The hosts were very sweet and amazingly accommodating. The cottage is very cozy and came stocked with all the essentials. The story behind the build is a fun one- be sure to look at the book in the cottage! The town of Del Norte is a short drive away and they have a near history and some cool places to eat and drink! Be sure to check out Three Barrel Brewing and try their amazing Lisa! There is a ton of access for exploring the National Forest/BLM land in the area. The hosts turned us on to an amazing local-ish hot spring (which was very awesome!) and the Great Sand Dune national monument isn’t too far away either. I have already told a bunch of friends that they NEED to stay here. It was so peaceful, and the views of the stars were amazing!

Summary: This place was the perfect getaway for Spring Break with my girls! The cottage is beautiful and we loved all the detail!! The property was incredible and KimAnna and Mike were incredible hosts! Very welcoming and kind. The whole property was good energy and our trip went by way too fast. My daughters loved all the animals and they did not want to leave. We will definitely be back!

Summary: My spouse, puppy, and I stayed at the Mermaid Cottage for a few days. It was one of the best vacation rentals I have ever been at. The property and land are absolutely gorgeous, every detail is attended to, and we loved every moment. KimAnna was away when we stayed, but we met Mike, and he was so informative and kind, but gave us our own space. He also gave us eggs from their chickens! The animals on the property were a joy also. We would absolutely love to go back and explore more of the area.

Summary: This was an wonderful get away for my wife and I. Incredible scenery surrounds this charming rental that makes for a romantic weekend and place to recharge. Our hosts answered all our questions and delivered us farm fresh eggs. Thank you Michael & KimAnna for an amazing experience. We fell in love with your tiny horses and Bella, Sombrito and Chase.

Summary: Perfect 10. Location. Vibe. Peace. Can’t wait to stay again!
Natasha F. Aug 29, 2022 11:30:01 AM
Summary: Very small 1 room cottage for simple stay. Take soup, cereal, limited kitchen, but beautiful surroundings. Bundle up on the patio with a blanket and bottle of wine to watch the stars come to life. We would come again; recommendation, keep it simple.
Jayna T. Aug 3, 2022 12:01:57 PM
Summary: We loved every moment of the cottage! From the eggs that you gifted and the ponies and dogs, we watched the stars and swung on the swings also watching many of the provided movies. We will for-sure be coming back and recommending to all around me. Thank you for this amazing opportunity.
Daren V. Mar 31, 2022 04:28:21 PM
Summary: Everything about this cottage and location was excellent and exactly as advertised! We had a wonderful, peaceful weekend getaway, and enjoyed all of the finer details of this cottage, while also enjoying the San Luis Valley area.
