THE YURT AT SCREWBALL RANCH IS AN AFFORDABLE VACATION RENTAL ON BEAUTIFUL CEDAR MESA IN WESTERN COLORADO

A private 80 acre playground with 900 square foot Yurt, a fully equipped kitchen, 3/4 bath, and sleeping for 4 – 6 guests.

Family & Pet friendly

Bring your kids and your pets. They are more than welcome! Kids love sleeping in front of the wood stove and dogs love all the great smells.

Off-the-Grid, but Well Equipped!

Solar power, backup generator, propane & wood heat, kitchen and 3/4 bath with hot & cold water.  

Affordably Priced

Reservation does not require a cleaning fee or a  damage deposit because our guests are always wonderful. AND you get a 10% discount for a 6 night stay.

Sleeps up to 6

With two full size futons on the main floor and two twin beds in the loft.

Yurts are Fun!!

This is no ordinary yurt! It’s really big, has a bathroom, a microwave, a VCR, DVD player, full sized kitchen, deck and firepit.

80 Acres of Private Land

Private use of 80 wooded acres plus private access to an additional 6000+ acres of BLM Land.

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE YURT...

This YURT is large (over 900 square feet – including the loft) and contains a complete 3/4 bath, well equipped kitchen (propane range and oven, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, cooking utensils, etc.), open living area, wood stove, propane heater, solar electricity (generator backup), large deck, enclosed entryway, adequate storage and skylight. The YURT comfortably sleeps four – two twin beds in the loft and two full sized futons in the living area. You’ll be secluded on your private 80 timber covered acres. You’ll have private access to thousands of adjoining BLM acres. There are miles and miles of hiking, biking, ATV and horseback trails that start right at your doorstep. We use this yurt as a base camp for big game hunting in the fall, and it is also available to other hunters during the hunting season at a different seasonal rate.

To Do in the Area…

You’ll be located at the base of the largest flat top mountain in the world, Grand Mesa, and very close to the breathtaking Black Canyon of the Gunnison. But you’ll still be only 15 minutes from the rustic town of Cedaredge, Colorado, which includes a large supermarket, restaurants, and even an 18 hole golf course!

What a wonderful time our family has had at the Yurt! We’ve had a relaxing week and couldn’t have asked for better accommodations! We’ve enjoyed canoeing on Island Lake and Lake Eggleston- we even caught a brook trout! Thanks again for everything! We hope to come back again!

We had a wonderful time exploring Grand Mesa and being able to come back to the creature comforts of Screwball Ranch. We appreciate the thoughtful stocking of creative comforts we found at the ranch and the weather was perfect for our trip!

So glad we were tipped off about this place! Perfect for a couple of screwballs and the dog that keeps us in line 🙂 We especially love the silence, the full moon and the memories created here. What happens at the yurt stays at the yurt!

...this place is absolutely amazing! My brother and I planned this vacation in about 3 weeks and getting to stay here at Screwball made it more than I expected. Best spur of the moment adventure we've come up with in a long time! Completely blown away with how well stocked this place is! We'll be back with more family as soon as we can.

I wanted to let you know that we had a great time at the yurt. All the systems worked fine and were easy to operate. George did a great job getting everything ready for us and showing how everything worked. It was great to be able to let the dogs out and not worry about them wandering off. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and many laughs over puzzles and scrabble games. It was a great time for all.

We had a great time relaxing, going up to the mountains and just letting the world pass us by. We definitely plan on coming back. Would like to stay, but home is calling us back. Also enjoyed spending quality time with our daughter and son-in-law here!

Exactly what we were looking for! A beautiful, peaceful spot to get away from the hustle and bustle of the front range and a great base camp for the local sights and tastes tours. Thank you so much for the nice amenities and your warm hospitality. Our hound loved it too! Looking forward to the opportunity to return with our kids and grandkids!
