Dutch oven, Blackstone grill & French Press provided. Solar powers the lights and phone charger. Water is supplied. Compost potty attached.The Red-tail is a cozy, warm retreat. The space is a little over 200 round feet. Lots of windows! Watch the snow fall and the stars through the dome in the ceiling. The ceiling is a reciprocating roof. You will feel on top of the world with gorgeous views of the Medicine Bows to the east, the Park Range to the west and Rabbit Ears to the south. The wood burning stove will keep you warm and toasty, but does require stoking through cold nights. The shower house is a short walk away. The cabin can accommodate three if desired.Elk Run is a great trail onsite for hiking or xc skiing and snowshoe adventures as well as our Narnia Trail. The Routt National Forest and Mount Zirkel Wilderness is a short hike or ride. There are over 60 trails and 70 lakes in the Zirkel Wilderness.

In the summer check out our trail dubbed "Narnia" which takes you to where two waterfalls merge on the Roaring Ditch which runs about the end of May until about the first week of July. The trail is marked with Monarch Butterflies. We offer sledding, skiing and snowshoeing in the winter on snowmobile packed trails. Buffalo Pass is a short distance away for those who love to ride their sleds in deep powder and in late summer ride over the Pass into Steamboat Springs.Deb, Eli and Pat are always available as the wildlife rehabilitation facility is near.

Nice little getaway for two dogs and their humans.
This place is very cute and comfortable, and one of the nicer "rustic" places I've ever stayed. The hike up from the truck with food and gear was a bit challenging, but we were blessed to get some help from Pat and his ATV. We had beautiful views, and the dogs loved running around. The wood stove works great for heat. Deb and her family were very responsive and so nice. Maybe next time we'll get to see some moose. :0)

Great overall stay- troubles with access
The cabin itself was quaint, off grid, and adorable! Because of that you do have to do work: be prepared to chop your own wood, stoke your own fire, walk uphill to access the cabin, and use the bathroom in the cold. Our group liked all of those things but its not for everyone. They provide plenty of kitchen supplies, fire supplies/wood, games/books, and even offered us snowshoes/skis to use. The outlet in the cabin ONLY connects to USB. The only reason our rating went down is issues with access. We drove a 4WD car and brought chains even though the weather was forecasted well and got snowed in once and almost again the next day. The property owners were endlessly helpful and accommodating in this and even plowed out a snowdrift we would never have made it past- but the county never came to plow the road in our 3 day stay and we were told even when they do its usually past 11 am. Its a great spot for a staycation in the winter but if you were planning on using it as a homebase to adventure from in winter months like us- be aware of the risk.

Wonderful winter retreat
We loved staying here for a winter weekend snowshoeing. The roundhouse was well stocked with firewood and Deb was easy to communicate with.

impossible to find, horrid directions, bad communication from owner
We couldn't even find this place. The directions the owner gave us were like something out of a childrens fantasy book and they did not communicate with us at all on how to find their property. It was impossible to find and we didn't even end up staying because we got lost due to how poor their directions were. Such a waste!!

Relaxing slice of paradise.
Beautiful, serene and full of colour in the fall when we were lucky enough to stay. I love that my stay helped fund wildlife rehabilitation efforts on the property.

Cute cabin
Perfect spot for fall foliage! There’s hiking right down the road. The bunk bed mattresses were comfier than expected! Wood burning oven is not hard to use. There is a hike to the cabin from where you park your car, so keep that in mind when booking this spot.

Peaceful Haven
The Redtail Roundhouse was such a gem. The view was amazing and it was so peaceful and quiet. I especially loved spending time reading on the swing and staring up at the stars at night (hello, Milky Way!). Deb was a great host and I can tell she loves what she does - hosting people and helping them create wonderful memories. I highly recommend this property!

The needed getaway to wilderness
My friend and I decided to take a short trip to the mountains to unwind and disconnect. This was just the trip we needed. The Red-Tail Round House was perfect for what we were looking for and what the listing stated. The views were breathtaking and the stars at night were overwhelming. Our hosts were so easy to communicate with. They provided us with all of the amenities listed in their write-up. They were there to help and they were also respectful of our desire to be secluded in a beautiful place. We took my anxious dog with us and even he found peace and balance during the trip. He slept like a baby! I loved the Red-Tail Round House and will be returning for future getaways. If you're looking for a peaceful, rustic, and well-maintained place to stay, this is a great location for just that.
