The location simply can't be beat. The view from the patio is gorgeous. The villa was stocked minimally but functionally. It was a very nice place for us.

This was perfect for our needs. It was compact but not too small and we loved the coffee offerings. Location by the river was great.
Stayed here in the 1970's, when it wasn't so nice. It's wonderful now! Highly recommend!

Thank you, Brad, for your review! It’s amazing to hear that you stayed here back in the 1970s and chose to return.
We’re thrilled you enjoyed the improvements and appreciate your kind recommendation.
We hope to welcome you back again soon!
This was perfect for our needs. It had the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in and the river was steps away from the back door. The tiny town is a great place for a walk with lots of friendly locals. Be sure to eat at the pizza place!
The place is well built and maintained with all our needs met for a get-a-way. Positioned within 2 miles of lovely hot springs in the heart of the historic district of Redstone, it was perfect for recharging our Colorado batteries.
This place was even prettier than the pictures. My favorite part was walking outside to the gorgeous flowers and the river. Everything was great, and the area is amazing! We definitely will.come back.

Thank you, Chris, for the nice review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope you come back to enjoy the view.
So serene and spectacular! Cleaner than any place I’ve ever stayed - new everything. I’d add add under- cabinet lighting and a bag of ice in the freezer, but otherwise it was ten stars. Will recommend it to friends, for sure!
It was a nice, clean little room on the river. It would have been nice to have more than one towel, and the exterior lights made it difficult to make the room dark when it was time to go to bed. Overall a nice place to stay though.
Very clean and nicely furnished. Loved the location by the river. Our only frustration was that the curtains on the sliding glass door to the shared patio were very difficult to slide in the track. They seemed very delicate and would get stuck every couple inches. We had the same problem with the sliding screen door. It was difficult to slide and the screen was separated from the door frame to the point that you could reach your hand through. Other than that, the place was in beautiful and and we’ll maintained.
We really enjoyed our stay here, especially sitting out back next to the river. Nicole was so kind to us and easy to work with (especially when we made a last minute change due to mudslides that made it hard getting across Colorado!). Everything was clean and met our needs perfectly. Redstone is lovely and it was a great little getaway for our family.
I’m a solo traveler, but honestly this place would be great for a couple. The most comfortable king size bed I’ve ever slept in! Modern furnishings made it feel like home. I kept the screen door open so I could hear the river. Walking distance to a couple restaurants and general store. I highly recommend if you’re in the area.
This property is so beautiful and relaxing! Very clean quiet and comforting too. The only recommendation I would have is that the pictures of the cabin out back makes you think you’re staying in a cabin however it’s actually an Inn.
My husband and I stayed for two nights. We found the location to be perfect for all of our outdoor activities. We especially enjoyed the chairs on the front porch as well as the chairs out back. Very clean and well located in the little town. We would definitely stay there again.
This rental was truly just wonderful. I had wanted to explore some new places in Colorado en route to moving to a new state, and this villa was truly the perfect place for me to find respite and relaxation for a few days before venturing on.
The property is right on the Crystal River in the Rocky Mountains - nestled in the valley, where you can hear the river running a little even with the windows and patio closed (I'm pretty sure I heard a coyote calling one night late, which I love as an outdoorsperson!). Redstone is an adorable town with a really cool mountain culture (the general store is fantastic!), and Nicole's rental was so clean, comfortable, and stylish. The kitchen was stocked well enough with utensils, cookware for the ceramic cooktop stove, nice big fridge and microwave to do some cooking on the road as I wanted to.
I'll also add that I'm a light sleeper and that this place was so quiet and serene, and the bed was the most comfortable I've slept on in a very long time!
Nicole was very responsive and attentive to my needs and questions. I loved this rental so much that I booked it for a third night, and had I known I was going to love it as much as I did, I'd have booked it for 4-5 nights. I can't recommend this rental enough - I'll definitely be back!
This property is very clean and nice. The property owner responds quickly to texts and seems genuinely concerned that guests enjoy their stay. She even sent me a text on the day we were traveling to make sure we were having safe travels during a snow storm. We enjoyed the out of the way location and the small eclectic town. The drive to Snowmass is approximately 1 hour but it is an easy drive. The property doesn't seem to have a full time staff member present at all times (the office door was always shut with a note to text the property owner) but there was a nice building out back with pretty much anything a guest could need. I used the nice washer/dryer to wash our laundry and the grilling supplies for dinner one evening. The patio is a lovely, quiet place along the river. There is wifi, but be aware that you will not be able to make phone calls or receive texts unless your phone is enabled for those services. My phone was not enabled and it made it difficult to text the property owner when I needed something. Our only complaints are that there isn't always a person on the property if you need something and the trash dumpster was overflowing full pretty much our entire stay. We noticed it had been emptied when we got in one evening and by the next morning at 4:30am it was 1/2 full already. The rooms are adequately supplied with amenities, but the space is very cramped. We had some trouble with the trundle bed taking up most of our space. A hot plate for cooking is provided as advertised but I wouldn't plan to do any actual cooking because there is no counter space. We would consider staying here again, but we might look for a larger room if it was available.
