Rustic Bunkhouse with canyon views. | Cabin in Monticello

Come vacation with us in our rustic bunkhouse located on Montezuma Canyon Ranch & Vineyards. We have some of the most spectacular night skies, beautiful mornings, and amazing scenery. While at the ranch you can watch a movie in a cave, hike, bike or explore ruins without leaving the canyon.
The bunkhouse is approximately 750 sq. ft. and was recently renovated. It has a covered wrap around deck great for relaxing. The kitchen, dining and living room are combined in one open room. Bedroom one has a double bed and two twin beds. Bedroom two has two twin beds and one set of twin bunkbeds. The bathroom is roomy with a large shower and large vanity. And if you want some fresh air while you shower, take it outside to the private outdoor shower. The bunkhouse is great for large families or groups.
Things to know before booking with us.
When you book with us you are not staying with a big corporation that owns many vacation rentals. You are staying at a family-owned ranch, we are your contacts, cleaners, and maintenance crew. We have three rentals, enough to stay busy but not so many that we lose our focus on good customer service. We care deeply about our ranch, our rentals and want your stay to be as amazing as possible.
Please book with the correct number of guests. Reason number one, we do not charge an additional cleaning fee because 1 guest should not pay as much as 8. But we do add a small additional fee for each guest to cover the additional cleaning for more guests. Reason number two, safety, in case of an emergency it is nice to know how many people are staying on our property.
There is no cell service at the ranch. We do have limited Wi-Fi and a ranch phone for emergencies. We have satellite internet. On a good day, the top download speed is 25mbps, but usually it is a lot slower than that. Our internet cannot support working remotely.
We are located 16 miles southeast of Monticello Utah. It is a 30–40-minute drive to the nearest gas station and grocery store. 10.5 miles of that drive is dirt road. The scenery and peacefulness more than make up for the long trek to town. This may be a deal breaker for some, but I believe that these are two things that make this cabin and location truly special. There is nothing to interrupt the time spent with your company and enjoying the beauty of the canyon.
Dirt Road Conditions – The road is maintained by San Juan County Road Department. During the summer months the road is easy to travel. Winter Guests, December through February AWD or 4WD is required because of snow. November and March weather varies so always check in about road conditions. We do recommend having a good spare tire in your vehicle and if you plan on touring the canyon, high ground clearance is strongly recommended.
Weather – Blanding Utah mirrors our weather and temperatures better than Monticello Utah.
Well Pump – Our ranch water is supplied from an agricultural well that is pumped with a diesel engine. When we have guests, we try to minimize the time we run the well pump to cut down on noise disturbance. We do not start the pump before 7a.m. and turn it off no later than 7p.m. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
Solar Power – The ranch and bunkhouse are completely off-grid and depend on mother nature to provide our power. This makes power preservation especially important. Only use necessary lights and appliances. The bunkhouse rarely loses power, the system is just too small for some appliances. We do have a backup generator for emergencies.
The primary heat source is a wood burning stove and we provide free firewood to heat the bunkhouse. The bathroom has a propane wall unit heater to supplement on those extra chilly nights and mornings.
The bunkhouse does not have an oven, but does have a microwave, gas cook top, toaster, and propane grill.
The coffee maker is a 12-cup drip coffee maker or stove top percolator, and we provide coffee and sugar.
The bunkhouse does not have laundry facilities.
Summer Guests - The bunkhouse does not have air conditioning, but we have fresh canyon air and nice cross breezes. Specifically, July and August guests, we are in the desert, and it can get quite warm. If you like it hot, then we have your place.
Outdoor Fire Pit - Please bring your own firewood to use the fire pit. We have firewood bundles available for purchase at the Montezuma Market for your convenience.
Smoking is not allowed inside of the bunkhouse. If you choose to smoke outside, please pick up after yourself and be conscious of fire danger and keep the yard and outdoor areas clean and litter free.
Montezuma Market – Located at the ranch, we have fresh organic produce, eggs, preserves, pickles, and juice for sale. We also support local artisans and crafty friends by selling their wares. We accept Cash, Checks, Credit and Debit.
The Grapevine Cave & Lounge is a manmade cave and is shared with 2 other property rentals at Montezuma Canyon Ranch & Vineyards. It is a great place to watch movies, hang out and play games.
We do not have wine available yet. We are steadily working towards that goal.
Check us out on our website and social media.
There are dogs on the ranch, and you may meet them during your stay. The dogs are friendly and not aggressive.
