Z Canyon Ranch

46mi from Shiprock · 1 site · Tent, RV
We have a single, isolated, quiet, fully contained RV site on 67 acres. The 46ft by 14ft wide concrete pad has all the hookups (50amp power, water and sewer) and a picnic table. The ranch is at the dead end of a private road, hidden from all. The only noise you’ll hear at night are the frogs in the pond. We are a working cow ranch, dogs are welcome as long as they don’t chase cattle, deer or elk. The property is a haven for deer and migrating elk in the fall. The property has a large 30-acre pasture, canyon with walking trails, and 3 ponds on private land. There is also private access to another 40 acres of BLM land.
The ranch contains a heritage apple orchard, (over 100 years old) that is still producing. If you’re lucky to be here in the fall you could pick your own apples.
The ranch is 15 minutes to the entrance of Mesa Verde, 15 minutes to Cortez or Dolores. We are away from traffic and neighbors, so if you need peace and quiet this is the place.

Quietly located on a small organic farm and artist's compound, our straw bale adobe cabin is 20 mins from the park entrance, and has amazing views of Mesa Verde and the Four Corners area. With ancient Anasazi ruins and a private canyon on this 135-acre property, you'll have room to relax and explore.
The space
This is an incredibly unique space thoughtfully furnished with original art and handmade furniture. The Canyon Cabin includes a queen size bed, a table for two, a small bathroom with shower, small refrigerator, microwave, ipod docking device for your music, two burner cooktop, coffee pot, microwave, and outdoor grill.
Guest access
Guests have access to the vegetable gardens and greenhouses for cooking tasty meals. In the summer we grow an abundance of tomatoes, summer squash, green beans, broccoli, peppers, and some melons. In the winter, our upper greenhouse grows a variety of greens-- lettuce, spinach, kale, and chard.
Other things to note
Check in and check out times are flexible. We have our property's second guest house listed on AirBnb as well if you are traveling with a party of four.

We enjoyed Steve’s property. Quiet, secluded and the fact that our dogs didn’t need to be tied out was icing on the cake. We spent the weekend getting an adopted use to a packraft in the lake and this camping location was perfect.
You’ll need a high clearance vehicle to access the canyon also.
