Off-grid Cabin at Angel Valley Ranch

RAT INFESTATION Positive: The cabin was rustic and cozy. The location was really remote and pretty. The hosts were helpful before the stay. Good WiFi. Liked that we had TV. Not a ton of bugs surprisingly. Negative: RATS!! I’m not kidding when I say there were rat droppings over the entire house. The closet upstairs has so much rat poop and smelled like death. I could hear the rats all night and it kept me and my dog awake. I had to stuff towels in the corners of the room to prevent them from coming into the bedroom. I could hear them in the walls and the ceilings. Such a bummer. This place charges a cleaning fee that’s almost as much as the nightly fee and it was disgusting. The rats tore apart a card board box I had in the kitchen too. It’s a pretty big health issues as rats carry so much disease… When I reached out to the host to tell them about this problem, the told me where to find the trash cans….. so not helpful in the rat issue. We ended up leaving early and when I told the host we left early, they said, sounds good, hope you had a nice stay. Not one mention or apology about the rat infested cabin. Could be really cute if I wasn’t scared of a rat biting my face off in the night. So don’t stay here unless you wanna sleep with the rats at night…. Hopefully they can get this problem fixed and keep their customers safe. Also, oven does not work so don’t plan meals that require the oven.

I was looking to get away from the crowds and hike some backcountry National Forest with my dogs. The Angel Valley Ranch was absolutely perfect for my needs. The canyon is more beautiful than words can describe. Numerous deer came right up to the property each morning and late afternoon. It’s true you’ll need to drive down a dirt road for a half hour, but it’s a small price to pay for solitude, just the sounds of nature and absolute stunning red cliff backdrop. Plan ahead and bring all the food and items you desire. The solar, water heater, WiFi, and country decor were sufficient. I spent most the time outside, it was so wonderful to relax and recharge. Truly the ranch is a slice of Heaven.
