Wagon Wheel Cabins

What Wagon Wheel Cabins does

Wagon Wheel Cabins is a privately held vacation rental business operating a single 14-unit property at 249 S. Gunnison Ave in Lake City, Colorado, on the Alpine Loop scenic byway. The portfolio comprises 13 individual cabins (ranging from a studio sleeping 2 to multi-bedroom units sleeping up to 7) and the H House, a seven-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom property with 14 beds and two full kitchens that accommodates up to 22 guests. All units feature full kitchens, private bathrooms, mountain views, and select covered porches; amenities include WiFi, charcoal grills, communal ice machines, and complimentary OHV trailer parking.

The business serves leisure travelers visiting the San Juan Mountains — couples, families, and groups on weekend or week-long stays — with differentiated positioning toward OHV/off-road enthusiasts (ride-in/ride-out trail access) and pet owners ($20/dog/day, up to two dogs). Reservations are taken through the Lodgify online booking platform embedded in the company website and via phone, with a standard two-night minimum and a one-night nonrefundable cancellation deposit. Direct-to-consumer marketing is digital-first, combining the website, an opt-in SMS program, and a Facebook presence.

Revenue is generated primarily from nightly cabin bookings, supplemented by pet fees and an on-site food service offering, Wagon Wheel Feed Co., which delivers breakfast, lunch, and trail snacks to cabin doors. Amy and Chris acquired the business in June 2022 and have subsequently invested in unit upgrades (new bedding and linens for 2023), platform migration to Lodgify, and the food truck subsidiary. The company does not disclose financials, maintain a mobile app, or have any disclosed institutional ownership.

Broad incumbents

• Vacasa: Largest professionally managed vacation rental company in North America, operating thousands of cabins and homes in mountain and leisure destinations. Comparable to Wagon Wheel in property type and target guest, though at vastly greater scale and with full-stack technology and local field operations.
• Vrbo: Vacation rental-by-owner platform from Expedia Group, prominent in U.S. mountain and family destinations. Comparable in that it aggregates cabin rentals in the same demand pool as Wagon Wheel Cabins, and many competing private hosts in Lake City list on Vrbo alongside or instead of booking direct.
• Airbnb: Global vacation rental marketplace where individual hosts list cabins and homes in Lake City and similar mountain towns. Indirect competitor to Wagon Wheel because many of the same guests search Airbnb first; also a potential distribution channel for properties like Wagon Wheel's 14 units.
• Evolve Vacation Rental: National vacation rental management company focused on professionally managing individual vacation homes and cabins. Competes with Wagon Wheel for the same leisure traveler looking for managed cabin rentals in mountain destinations, but operates a hybrid owner-service model across many states.

Emerging players

• Wander: Tech-enabled vacation rental operator offering upscale cabins and chalets in nature destinations. Comparable to Wagon Wheel in property type (cabins in scenic settings) and target guest (families and groups seeking premium outdoor stays), though Wander operates a centralized, branded asset-light model.
• Outdoorsy: Peer-to-peer RV and outdoor vehicle rental marketplace. Comparable to Wagon Wheel for OHV riders who travel to mountain trail systems, capturing the same customer segment before or after they book lodging; partial overlap rather than direct lodging competition.
• Hipcamp: Outdoor-stay marketplace covering cabins, glamping, and camping across the U.S. Comparable to Wagon Wheel in that it markets rustic and nature-embedded lodging to outdoor travelers, including OHV and trail users. Overlaps in target guest segment, though most inventory is smaller and more dispersed.

Direct peers

• SkyRun Vacation Rentals: Professionally managed vacation rental company with strong presence in Colorado mountain destinations. Directly comparable to Wagon Wheel in that it offers full-service cabin and home rental management in ski/summer mountain towns with similar amenities and guest profiles.

Regional players

• Rendezvous Vacation Rentals: Local vacation rental manager serving the Telluride and Mountain Village region of Colorado with cabins, condos, and homes. Comparable to Wagon Wheel as a Colorado mountain-town specialist with full-service cabin rental operations, though operating in a different (and larger) micro-market.
• All Seasons Lodging: Long-established Telluride-area vacation rental company offering cabins and homes with full kitchens and mountain amenities. Comparable to Wagon Wheel in business model and Colorado mountain positioning, though it serves a different (and more tourism-dense) destination.
