Timber Ridge, part of the Ridge Vacation Properties group. is an upscale log cabin, newly remodeled and professionally decorated to give you every modern convenience in a luxurious but cozy atmosphere. Brand new plush mattresses, down duvets, quilts, crisp cotton sheets, Turkish cotton towels, and a variety of bed pillow options, along with a mix of antique and new furnishings, guarantee that you’ll be a little spoiled by the time you leave! The renovation also included the addition of many smart-home conveniences, easily controlled by voice using the Amazon Alexa devices located throughout the cabin and on the deck. Play music, ask a question, control the lights and TVs --even adjust the temperature just by speaking. This 2,000 square foot cabin is nestled in the woods at an elevation of 9,200 feet and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
Timber Ridge managers, Wayne and Wendy Grizzell live across the street and are available for assistance with any need. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Wayne and Wendy moved to Colorado in 1993. Wayne is a Certified General Appraiser and runs his own appraisal firm. Originally a travel agent, Wendy now manages the cleaning and upkeep of both cabins (Pine Ridge and Timber Ridge). In their downtime, they love to pack a lunch and go off-roading whenever possible to explore Colorado's beautiful scenery...the more remote, the better! They also love to travel and have stayed in many vacation rentals around the world, inspiring them to make the Ridge Vacation Properties as comfortable and convenient as possible.
